“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Leah looked after our two cats when we were on a ten day vacation, and she was fabulous! It was clear that instead of just administering medications and then leaving, she spent time giving them cuddles, and we really enjoyed the photos she sent of our cats being their predictable selves. We would definitely hire her again!”
“My kitties loved Tina! She kept me updated with photos and was easy to communicate with before during and after the booking. We would 100% recommend her as a sitter and look forward to booking again. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was caring for the kitties.”
About: I've cared for my own dog, dogs of family members, and dogs of neighbors for about a decade. I have particular experience in caring for needy or high-maintenance dogs. Right now I'm wide open since I'm home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, house-sit, or whatever you may need for your dog. I'm able to give your dog as much attention as it needs. I'm happy to be hands-on, passive, or anywhere in between depending on the needs of your dog.
“She was wonderful! She fed my cat, cleaned the litter box, and my cat warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. I felt really comfortable leaving her in her care.”
“Madeline was great!! She took such amazing care of our cat Finn and sent me tons of photos as well. She is super responsive as well. Would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Anthony is great! I have an older cat that requires medicine, and I can always count on Anthony to come through and take good care of him. He is reliable, punctual, and caring. I would definitely recommend you book with him!”
“I had a last minute cat sitting need and Angelica was able to fill it, I didn’t get to meet her in advance but was able to trust her with taking great care of my place & my cats! She sent thoughtful and thorough updates. Would book again!”
“She is the first cat sitter we’ve ever had that managed to see, feed, and pet one of our cats who is terrified of everyone except me and my husband. As a consequence, she is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Alyssa was great! :) She arrived on the date/time agreed upon. She provided terrific pictures and Beau really liked her. I would definitely book with her again. She did an awesome job!”
About: I’ve raised three dogs through the puppy stages to senior years. Most recently, I’ve helped my brother and sister-in-law train their chocolate lab puppy, while learning boundaries alongside my senior yellow lab. After being laid off from my full time job, I’m available during the day to help your pup get through the work days! I love taking daytime walks and getting exercise. I respect boundaries and will only enter the areas you need and want me to be in. I will treat your space with utmost respect, and leave it as clean as I would prefer my own home to be.
“Absolutely awesome. Ali did drop in visits for our dog, Molly, over this past weekend. Scheduled five drop in visits, everyone was on time and pictures that were sent looked like Molly was having a great time. Thank you Ali, will definitely rebook.”
About: I am an employee of the Cat Hospital of Media as a Veterinary Assistant as well as a Pre-Vet student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have two dogs of my own, a bunny, a bearded dragon, and I love to care for my friends and family’s animals At any time Monday, after 4:30 Tuesday-Friday, any time on the weekend. Pet care at home could fall at any hour of the day, as mine are very active I assure all pets are attended to and enriched, spending time with them as well as respecting their space. Appreciating each animal’s unique character is important
“Melissa has been flexible and supportive when caring for my puppy! She's been thoughtful in suggesting ideas to help Toffee be more comfortable alone (she's not used to my schedule of going back to the office a few days a week yet). I appreciate the ease of mind she provides when I can't be home with my cutie.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
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!
I can’t recommend Stasia enough. She is dependable, caring, and treats my dogs as if they were her own. They absolutely adore her, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re happy, loved, and well cared for when I can’t be there. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, and she has exceeded my expectations every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!
Dion took fantastic care of our cat and dog when dropping in for a walk, or playtime, or putting them to bed! My wife and I loved getting her notes and photos with each Drop-In visit and we could tell the pets both loved her care (although our cat needed a few visits to warm up). I would recommend Dion to any and all of my friends for any pet sitting needs!
Shannon was so great with our dog, and we will definitely use her again! She always arrived right on schedule, and made sure everything went smoothly, and sent plenty of pictures of how happy our pup was while in her care. This was our first time having a dog sitter in several years, and now feel very comfortable to do this more often.
Rhea was polite and prompt and communicated well . She connected well with Lucy and when I came home Lucy was super relaxed and calm and seemed happy ! I got pictures and notes about her behavior during the day which I really appreciated . I will definitely hire Rhea again and recommend you do too !!
Christina is so great. She is super responsive and is great with our dogs and their two (very different) personalities:) We had an emergency and needed to book her quickly. She was great - responded right away and helped us out in a very difficult situation. She leaves great notes and photos. Can't recommend her enough!
Jeffrey was kind and responsible with my dog Oso. I also appreciate his patience and understanding when there was an issue with getting into my home for the visit (I accidentally had forgotten to replace the batteries in my garage door opener so had to direct him where to find a spare key). Thank you!!
Kristin has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dog. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, caring, and genuinely invested in our dog's happiness and well-being. It's clear that Kristin truly loves animals. She takes the time to understand our dog's personality, needs, and routines. We always receive updates, and it's reassuring to know our pup is in such capable and caring hands. Kristin is consistently punctual, communicative, and dependable, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. Whether it's a regular walk or helping out when our schedule changes unexpectedly, she is always accommodating and goes above and beyond. The difference in our dog's happiness and confidence since working with Kristin has been remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. Five stars aren't 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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
