“Yuiko was fantastic & gave very regular updates! It was my first time leaving my dog with her but I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was in her care. There were other dogs staying at the place so my dog got great socialization with the other dogs and with her children. I highly recommend her & will use her services again in a heartbeat!”
“Rhea and her husband took excellent care of my dog Benny. She sent updates/photos so I knew how he was doing and could have peace of mind knowing that he was being treated so well and was happy staying with them!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Christin watched our pup for the second time in a row and we knew neyland was so loved the whole time we were away! She was very responsive and accommodating to schedule adjustments even picking up our dog because she was going to be in the neighborhood! We got lots of pictures throughout out time away to see how our pup was!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“We will definitely be checking for Rebecca’s availability next time we need a dog sitter she was so great with our pup. She sent a lot of updates and pictures and treated Jackie like her own. Thanks again Rebecca!”

“Opal and Ollie had a great boarding experience with Jennifer and her family. I’ve already rebooked with her for their next boarding. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Nicolle, care and pictures of my dog Spot made my stay away from him enjoyable. First time we were separated a long period of time. Will gladly as for Nicolle again. Will gladly recommend Rover to family and friends. My daughter n law recommended, glad she did. Gave tip directly to Nicolle when picked up Spot. Didn't know to use system.”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”

“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“Great communication and a great sitter for Salsa. Salsa loved her time with Sprinkles and Jasmine. I definitely will use Jasmine again. Salsa enjoyed her adventure to the dog park.”
“We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!”
“We did boarding with Mel for the first time this weekend after multiple days of daycare in the past! As expected, everything was great! Reviewed multiple photos of Cannoli throughout the day and he seemed very happy his entire time there! Would highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Chris watched my pup, Fede, about a week ago and was an absolute lifesaver. I contacted with extremely short notice before a trip after my care plans fell through. Chris not only agreed to watch my pup, but took on the task of learning how to care for his special needs. Fede is recovering from paralysis, uses a wheelchair to get around, and requires assistance to use the bathroom. Chris was a willing and patient student of his care and Fede seemed very happy when I returned to pick him up. Highly recommend Chris as a safe space for pets to stay.
We left Sunny with Kristin for the first time for 5 days/nights, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Kristin was incredibly caring and attentive to Sunny’s individual needs, and it was clear that she genuinely wanted to make her feel comfortable and at home. Kristin truly went above and beyond to make sure Sunny had everything she needed and received plenty of care and attention. We would absolutely trust Kristin with Sunny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving dog sitter!
Madison is so amazing, and our dog Lucy loves spending time with her on walks and relaxing at home! We are so comfortable and happy knowing Lucy is being cared for by a responsible and loving caretaker. Thank you Madison for always keeping us updated and notifying us of any issues, you’re the best!
Samantha is great! She is so nice and responsible. My dog Rosie made herself at home. Samantha sent frequent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with her sweet dog Petunia. I felt completely at ease leaving Rosie with her and her partner, and would definitely use them again!
Janelle took such good care of our dog. He had never been out of our home before and the easy routine, available comfy spots, and caring environment allowed him to feel quite at home. The resident pup was also so accommodating and friendly. We are so happy to have found such a great spot for our pup.
Lucy had another awesome stay with Fran and friends. Lucy injured her paw a few days before our vacation, which was not ideal but, of course, Fran took excellent care of her. Fran and I scheduled a call to go over Lucy’s care needs before her stay, which included medications and a daily Epsom salt soak for her paw. Fran took excellent care of all of Lucy’s extra needs. At the end of her time with Fran, Lucy was happy as usual, and her paw was fully healed! So appreciative of Fran, Curtis, and Rosie, for their hospitality and excellent care of Lucy!!
Christina was absolutely amazing with my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving her in her hands while I was away. I got tons of photo updates and she was always very responsive when I messaged. I am booking her again immediately for my next weekend away! Truly cannot recommend her enough!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Merion Station on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Merion Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Merion Station sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Merion Station landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Merion Station home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Merion Station.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Merion Station sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
