“Amy did a fantastic job with our Rottweiler and multiple cats. She was attentive to details, maintained clear communication throughout our time away and put our mind at ease from the very beginning. She is very intuitive and had some great insights about our dog's behavior and eating habits when we returned. Not only was our dog happy and healthy when we picked her up... she had an extra shine and enthusiasm that made for a seamless transition back home. Very highly recommended!”
“Daniela is amazing!! We couldn't be happier. She kept in touch with us throughout our pups extended stay, sending pictures and updates - all of which portrayed that she and her husband were almost in as much love with him as we are :) Being a skeptic, I feel that this is always my hesitation with dog boarding/sitters/kennels - but we are 100% confident that she is the real deal. So thankful - will definitely be booking again.”
“Garrett and Monica were loving hosts to Jake - our energetic Doodle. We received plenty of updates and photos which helped reassured us while away. I recommend them.”
“Suzanne and Brian were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! They went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They bathed them, trimmed their nails, played with them, cuddled with them, and even let them sleep on their bed. They also sent me regular pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I knew how my babies were doing while I was away. It was so clear that they treated my dogs with so much genuine care, love, and affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would be so happy to have them care for my dogs again. I highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”
“Allyse is amazing. I haven't left my dog's before except one time. One of my dog's has anxiety pretty bad. She sent pictures of my pups resting with her on the couch, she didn't have to give his anxiety meds. Either. Just knowing they were in good hands allowed me to have a good time. She is awesome!”
“I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are to have found Dorthy to watch our sweet fur baby, Pippy! They took fantastic care of her with updates and photos the entire time. Our sweet girl took a doggy vacation while we were away with nature walks, fun with the other dogs, play time, long naps, and brushing her out. She was one happy girl all weekend long! Thank you so much for loving our girl and playing with her. It brought us a lot of comfort knowing she was having a blast and safe. I am excited for our next trip and more puppy vacations for Pip! This was better than leaving her with our family!”
“Amazing family who took excellent care of our 2 dogs!! We didn’t have a single worry while our dogs were with them. EXCELLENT communication during their stay, also. Our pups will DEFINITELY be staying again, they loved it!”
“Ruth was wonderful; thoughtful, detailed, organized, and caring. I was nervous to leave my puppy with someone I didn’t know but Ruth put me at ease. She texted us updates and photos and listened to our instructions. Definitely would recommend!”
“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”
“Best sitter I’ve had through Rover for our beloved Rottie, who is the family’s fur baby! She provided updates and pictures throughout our vacay which we absolutely loved! Excellent communication & she treated our Rottie as if it were her own.”
“Serena and her family were so sweet and helpful with caring for our fluff. I'm recommending she hook up with the local Inn we stayed at so that guests could have an option to leave their pets with Serena when they attend the Brit shows or perhaps go wine tasting during the day.”
“Elizabeth was amazing, great at communicating and overall Mylo seems happy after picking him up! I was very nervous about spending a long trip without Mylo but Elizabeth helped with any nervousness and highly recommend her!”
“Coy had a wonderful time with Katie and she took great care of him. Multiple daily walks, potty breaks, play time, feedings, everything was done wonderfully. We couldn’t be more happy with the care and love provided to Coy. We will 100% use Katie for future bookings.”

I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.

About: My name is Sophia! I am 27 and I have been around animals most of my life. I always try to understand any animal and pet. Making sure to get to their level and accommodate them in any way I can. I currently have one doggie, one cat, and a fish. They are all super sweet. I train my dog often at home and the public parks. She loves cats and other doggies. My cat keeps to herself and she will often follow us on walks with our doggie. We take walks daily around the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and live in a duplex. Always feel free to message with any questions! 🐶🐱🐾 I work in the medford school district. I work monday thru friday 7am to 2pm and I am off weekends. I have a boyfriend who works later shifts, so pets won't be alone until 10am. We have a fenced back yard with a doggie door. My cat and dog let themselves out when they need to. My dog is kennel trained and usually is in her kennel when no one is home, but we leave her out when we aren't gone long. I make sure everyone has water in the morning and evening. We walk our dog around the neighborhood twice daily. One in the morning and one in the evening. I have fenced backyard. I have a doggie door for pets to come in and out. I can also close it off to control access outside. I always leash my dog when going on walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merlin
Possibly the best rover Aspen has had the pleasure to stay with. Lots of space to run around and the chance to have a friend or two to play with. He came home exhausted and happy. Garrett was so communicative and despite letting home know I wouldn’t have the service to get photos of Aspen, he still sent them so I could return home to them. He was also so flexible with my schedule and I really appreciated it. Thanks, yall! If we go down to Rogue again I’ll be sure to reach out:)
Garrett and his partner took such incredible care of our dog. He regularly updated us with photos and videos while we were away and made sure our dog had lots of enrichment and exercise. This is the best experience we've had with a dog sitter yet, we highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Merlin on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Merlin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Merlin 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 Merlin.
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 Merlin 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 OR 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.
