“Mey is the absolute best. So patient and kind with our guy, and very thoughtful and professional with us. You can sense the compassion and mutual respect, and we have loved every minute of having her drop in. Thank you so!”
“Leah has been an excellent resource as I’ve returned to work following the passing of my 12 year old shepherd’s sister/long time companion dog. Leah’s updates are detailed and include astute behavior observations that have helped me to gauge how my dog is coping when I’m at work (and she takes cute pics).”
“She was perfect with my fur babies even with it being last minute. Extremely caring and patient with them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“I’m so grateful for Julia helping us out! She was very responsive and sent picture updates after each visit. I have already recommended her to multiple people. Thank you Julia!!”
About: Hi! I'm a life long dog owner, have had and been around dogs and cats my entire life, I was a foster dog parent for several years and looking to help those in need of dog care. In the past, I've fostered puppies, dogs with anxiety and senior dogs and adopted them out to loving homes. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, shapes and woofers, any medical issues and am willing to work with any behavioral situations that other may not be willing to. I currently have 2 black labs at my home so full-time overnight house sitting is difficult but willing to work with anyone in need. I am available weekdays and weekends with notice and open to reoccurring visits. I have 2 labs at home, so full-time overnight visits are difficult. I'm very much willing to do pre-visits before your time away to "warm up" for both your pets and me Over my life, I've had all sizes of dogs, garden-diggers, fence-jumpers, and all kinds of health issues to work with. Most any needs your pets have, I'm willing to work with you to support your pet/s. I'm comfortable with both large and small dogs and completely willing to work with you if your situation has anxiety or outward aggressive behavior. Personally, I'm a supporter of no-harm training, while some cases take longer, positive reinforcement in the long run benefits everyone.
About: I have experience caring for senior dogs and understand how important patience, consistency, and extra attention can be for older pups. While living in Austin, Texas, I cared for a senior dog while his family was away on vacation and stayed in their home to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their trip. I also have personal experience caring for my own senior dog, Logan, who is a very important part of my family. Caring for him has taught me to pay close attention to a dog's routine, personality, comfort, and individual needs. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult, so I always strive to provide loving, reliable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while they are away. I’m available for dog walks on weekdays, with the most flexibility on Mondays and Wednesdays, especially in the early morning. On weekends, I’m available for overnight pet sitting. Depending on the situation, I can either care for your pet in my home or stay at your home if that works best for you. I’m also happy to discuss whether your dog would be comfortable staying with my senior dog, Logan. I’m flexible and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I always use safe routes, keep pets secure on their leash, and pay close attention to their surroundings. During drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure pets have fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I keep the environment clean and follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully. I also believe communication is an important part of building trust. I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Carrie is great. She came to meet my dog Bob a day before the appointment. It’s clear she’s extremely conscientious and genuinely loves spending time with animals. Will definitely book with her again.”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
“I was anxious about leaving my cat for 2 weeks with a sitter that we have not used before. I am so happy and pleased that we chose Mike. Dexter was a happy cat when I returned, litter box and house was clean and orderly, like I never left! Mike also went further and took care of erroneous deliveries at my front door, disposing of rotting food and personally bringing the packages to the unit of the rightful recipient! Thank you, Mike! I hope we can be repeat customers in the future.”
About: I have had pets my whole life, grown up taking care of many dogs and two family cats. Im currently the primary caretaker of our family dog, our now older family cat, and my two own cats. I also have experience with exotic animals, previously having two family guinea pigs and now my own hermit crab. Every morning I wake up to feed my cats and dog right before I eat my own breakfast. My cats litters are in spaces I use daily so they trust the space and i can monitor their health and habits. I know every animal is unique the same way people are, I treat every animal with love, care, and patience. I have a big soft spot for animals that are naturally distrustful and skittish and know how to gently approach them.

About: I grew up with cats and a dog, so pets have always been a part of my life. As my childhood dog aged, I helped care for her varied needs as she developed some hip and bladder problems, so I am used to caring for animals of all ages. I also have taken care of rodents, lizards, chickens, etc. so I am very well versed and love every animal! Every animal is different so I am very flexible and happy to fit to you and your pets routine! I am home for the summer from college so I am working part time as a lifeguard, but have a lot of time on my hands so I am looking for some pets to care for! I have a lot of flexibility both weekends and week days. I am able to come early and late hours as well! I have my own cat named Noodle at home, so pet care is already a part of my daily life. I believe that pets are family, and so much time and care is needed for them. I totally understand having a busy schedule, so I am happy to help out wherever needed!
“I really appreciate Devon and her interest in getting to know my dogs and me! We did a meet and greet before the first booking and she spent so much time interacting with my dogs and didn’t care that their behavior was less than desirable (jumping / excited). It was so easy communicating with Devon about booking and made sure to ask all the right questions. She was prompt with arrival and took ample pics of my dogs. I would love to use Devon again!”

Hannah is the best!! Her dog and mine do really well playing together, so he’s come along which helps make my guy extra happy. Both times I’ve needed Hannah, it’s been short notice and around of big life stressors - she’s been more than accommodating and easy to coordinate details. Once you meet her, you know you can trust her :)
Rebecca was awesome! She was happy to do a meet and greet with my dogs and was super responsive to all my messages. She was extremely patient with my standoffish dog and made sure he got to go outside. She sent lots of photos and detailed notes after each visit. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and would definitely use her again!
Jordan has been phenomenal with my puppy! He's very communicative and gives great recaps, this is so important when you’re trying to train and create a routine with a puppy. I’m so glad to have him helping us, my dog Leroy and I both are thankful for his service!
Spencer and Nell are AMAZING! They manage our high energy German Shepherd with gentleness and understanding. They even noticed a rash we hadn’t noticed! They’ve dealt with poop explosions and puppy nipping and still seem to genuinely love our puppy — and she loves them! Bonus — they also take really cute pics of her that are way better than mine. I trust them completely and have total peace of mind when they are dropping in to see her. Cannot recommend highly enough!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Merion Station stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Merion Station choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Merion Station with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
