About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I recently ended employment at Penn as a Project Manger in June and currently enjoying summer- working from home on applications so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT. I currently work full time as a research project manager at Penn M-F 9-5 with occasional WFH. I am free weekends for adventures with your pup. My apartment is neat and your dog can be free to roam or if has a certain crate schedule happy to follow. Right outside my apartment is a park with lots of green space and close to schuylkill river trail.
“Donte was great with our 1.5yo Great Dane! We felt comfortable leaving him for a week and we were even able to add on some training to work on his leash skills while we were away.”
“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”
“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.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“I needed a last-minute dog sitter, and Emelie was everything I could have asked for and more! She was extremely responsive, flexible, and communicative! I greatly appreciated that she kept me updated with pictures and texts during my trip. Will definitely book with Emelie again!”
“Mel was a fantastic pet sitter and put me completely at ease for my first time using a Rover pet sitter. Mel sent us many photos of our pup Enzo during the duration and was very easy to communicate with to coordinate pickup and dropoff times. Couldn't ask for a better experience! Thank you Mel :)”
“Using Rebecca has been a pleasure. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She sent lots of photos & videos. Made sure she had all the information she needed about my dog. Will use again!”
“Rogelio was reliable and quick to respond to messages and requests for updates, which put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog had a great stay. Thank you!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away! I treat every pet like my own and will make sure owners receive updates and photos. I am currently working part time and I also have school online at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean space. I’ll treat every pet like they are my own.
“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”
“Christopher is amazing! He was communicative before, during, and after our dog's stay with him. Gonzo got tons of love and plenty of exercise with Christopher, too. I would highly recommend Christopher to anyone who needs to leave their dog in caring, expert hands.”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“Kristin was amazing and our boy Sherman had the best time with her and her family. She was extremely communicative and attentive, and provided so many photos of our little guy throughout the weekend so we didn’t have to worry about him. It’s hard leaving your pup with someone new and she made it as easy as it could be.”
“Tamikia did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was gone! She provided lots of pictures/updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“Katya was very easy to work with. I was supposed drop off Ophie at her place but i had injured my foot and she came to pick her up. Very accommodating. She lives two blocks from me so I’m sure to use her services often in the future!”
“Nicole is a total gem! A friend referred me to her and I couldn't be more grateful! Nicole took AMAZING care of Koda and kept me constantly updated with photos!!! Plus Koda became great friends with Nicole's pups and came home adorably tired! I 100% trust Nicole with my baby and happily recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect puppy sitter!”
“Carismeldi took fantastic care of my pup! She also sent plenty of updates and pics throughout this first stay which was reassuring. So thankful to have found her as a sitter. Looking forward to our dog staying with her again in a few weeks!”
“Zyiana is an excellent sitter. Sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. He seemed very happy during his stay. I highly recommend and will book again!”

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,412 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merion Station. About 90% of Merion Station sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
