“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
“My dog Annie can be nervous when we're not home and someone shows up at the house. Her tendency can be to dig in her heels and refuse to go outside. Amanda took the time to gain her trust and got her to go out in the backyard, despite some miserable weather! We were able to go away for the day knowing that someone who was sensitive to Annie's needs was taking good care of her. I'm grateful to have found Amanda and would recommend them without hesitation!”
“I highly recommend Alyssa and her PUP to take care of your dog. She is conscientious and thorough in every way. She even gave a dog a bath after going to the park and playing extensively. This is our second time using her and we will continue to do so when needed. Thank you for loving on Finley and giving him a playmate!”
“Jordana was wonderful with my dog, Schuyler! She was really communicative before each visit, and Schuyler clearly loved her and was well-fed and played with each time I came home. I would definitely recommend Jordana to others!”
“I booked Wojciech for a drop in visit with my dog Crew. He came over to meet Crew a couple of days before the drop in visit date. They got along great. On the date of the visit he notified me that he was there and everything was fine. He sent me pictures of Crew and he looked happy. I will definitely be booking with Wojciech again!”
“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!!”
“Christel is awesome and took wonderful care of our two cats. She came twice a day to our home without fail to feed, litter box, and spend time with our boys with lots of love. She updated us regularly and gathered up the mail, packages, and trash cans for us while we were away. She can be trusted with your home and is an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you Christel!”
“Our Moose’s favorite dog sitter! We love Colette too. Super sweet and always reliable. Thanks again for all your help and keeping our minds at ease while we’re away.”
“Amy took very good care of our kitten, played a lot with him and made sure he was happy. She communicates a lot, which was reassuring for us. We highly recommend her and will be happy to work with her next time we'll have to leave town.”
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.
“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”
“Madeline was reliable, efficient, caring, and respectful. She cleaned dishes my cats used without me asking, clean us the unexpected messes the cats made, and provided updates with pictures throughout the process. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience”

“Emily has sat for us a number of times and she is the best rover we've had! She is very responsible and thinks not just about feeding & scooping litter but thinks ahead to what kind of symptoms to watch out for after a procedure or where the cat carrier would be in case of emergency. She goes above & beyond the expectations of a regular sitter & is very communicative.”
“She is an amazing sitter! If I could give her 6/5 stars I would. She was so friendly and sent sweet messages and photos during her visits. Her love for animals showed. I could tell that she really enjoyed caring for my 100 lb Dane! (He actually might like her more than me now!)”
“Alexis is so sweet with our old beagle and is very reliable! She communicated well and I felt very comfortable with her watching our dog while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Amanda was amazing - they took great care of our very old cat and obviously had experience with older pets. They spent quality time with our cat and sent a ton of pictures and information on how he was doing. They also cleaned up and went above and beyond cleaning up food, littler which we really appreciated! Thank you! Would defiantly book again for pet care.
Leah was a fantastic cat sitter! She followed all my instructions to a tee. I know cat loved spending time with Leah because I received so many pictures of my cat sitting on her lap while I was gone! It made me feel very reassured to know my cat was getting some quality time and cuddles while I was away.
Lenise was great with my two cats! Even through an emergency she had during the first day of sitting, she was communicative and was able to get back to the sitting as normal from the second day to the last. I came home from my week away to a clean and somewhat orderly apartment (I know my cats were throwing non stop parties in my small studio). I would book with Lenise 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!
My cats and I love Madeline! She is so sweet and very dependable. Being a whole ocean away from my cats was nerve wracking, but I felt very safe with them in her care. She earned the trust of even my shy cat, and kept me updated on things that seemed off (ie no poop in a litter box one day). She also sends so many of the best and cutest photos ♥️ I will definitely be booking her again and would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable sitter.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merion Station. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
