About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. Whether it was my own while my parents were gone or friends and neighbors as I got older. I have cared for both really active dogs that need to run all the time and older slower pets that need a lot of attention to details. I am currently a student at Western Oregon University enjoying my summer break back home. So I am available any time as I can create my own schedule. I can’t keep pets here but I am willing and able to do anything needed whether it is crating or making sure they are properly leashed if need be. I can also just watch as they run around!
“Jennifer has been wonderful with Winnie. She walks and plays with her during her drop in times and Winnie gets a break from the crate. I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Josh did a great job with our cat, Twitch! Twitch can be a bit stubborn and bratty and Josh used different successful techniques to entice him out for his insulin injections. Josh is very sweet and takes his responsibilities seriously, which we greatly appreciated. Your animal will be in good hands with Josh!”

“thank you so much for watching our babies. You did such a great job and we were really at ease, knowing that you were going in there every day and taking really care of our babies. We really appreciate it.”

“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and my grandma used to train guide dogs for the blind so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I am a student at WOU and I work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out, walk and play with your dog or cat. I don’t have any pets of my own but I love taking dogs on walks or running around and playing with them in the fields around my apartment.
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I also have two fur babies of my own who love when we go on walks together. ❤️ I see animals as part of the family not just pets in a home. I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire and can't imagine life without animals in it. ❤️ When I'm with your animal I do my best to give them the love and attention that you would also give them while you're home with them. And stitch to their Dailey schedule as best as I can. I work around my work schedule and lifestyle to provide the best care I can for the animals in your home. ❤️ My price may go up by $5 to $10 depending on the responsibilities am given and if there's more than just dog(s) and/or cats involved while I provide the best care for your animals that I can give according to the needs of your pets. 🙂 When I'm with your animal I do my best to give them the love and attention that you would also give them while you're home with them. And stitch to their Dailey schedule as best as I can. 🙂 I work around my work schedule and lifestyle to provide the best care I can for the animals in your home. ❤️ If you want me to stay in your home then I'm able to do so due to not having the space for more animals to stay in my current home. 🙂 I am also open to meet and greets with you and your animals to make sure that we're a good fit! 🙂 While I'm staying with your pets who are also part of your family. ❤️ I do my best to work around my work schedule and lifestyle to stitch to your animals daily schedule as accurate as I'm able to provide.

If they have a certain breakfast and dinner time then I'll do my best to keep it the same or at least as close as possible depending on my work schedule. 🙂 I like to also keep you updated on your pets while they're in my care so you know they're safe and happy as I'm taking care of them. ❤️
About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to your pet as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian currently works out of the home but will be retiring soon and will then be 100% dedicated to caring for the pets of our clients! We are available for meet and greet, home checks, and drop off/pick up almost any time day or night and will work with you to schedule what is best for you and your pet(s). Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be ooen to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.

About: I’ve been dogsitting for at least 3 years now. I’ve specifically been pet sitting for the same few family’s over the span of several years. Since I have no other commitments, I am able to spend as much time as needed with the dogs and treat every dog like it’s my own. I don’t mind having to make special meals for dogs, going on walks, or staying full time at your house! I have experience with dogs with anxiety under circumstances such as storms and fireworks and I am also good with high energy dogs. I enjoy meeting with the dogs before booking so reach out! I do not have any other jobs currently so I am able to give my full attention to your pets! I already take walks on my own so having a dog join me would be beneficial as well. I do not have pets of my own so it’s easy for me to give full love and attention to other peoples pets like the pet I never had.

I’m mindful about doors, leashes, and safety at all times, and I send regular updates so you feel totally at ease.

“Brandy responded quickly with concerns. Brandy let me know when she was there caring for my cat, Harvey and when she left. However, upon returning home the litter box had not been cleaned for a few days and the larger water bowl was a bit dirty. My other cat, Amelia passed away naturally before Brandy was scheduled to attend to her needs. I appreciate she attempted to get a reduce rate since she was only caring for one cat, Harvey. I have to say her work was good. It was comforting knowing my one cat was being taken care of since my other cat died just prior to her scheduled time. Also, Harvey is hard to spend time with since he is extremely shy. I did appreciate the pictures taken.”
About: I grew up in a house multiple dogs and cats and currently have a dog and 6 cats living with me. I fostered and raised new born cats and had volunteered at an animal shelter. I take pride in taking care of pets and the shelter animals and do plan of becoming a veterinarian in my future. I've dog sat my aunt's dog a few times whenever she visited. I'll play with my dog often as to keep him from getting into things he shouldn't. I'm the one who spends time with our dog and cats whenever my mother is at work and am the one to take the dog on evening and sometimes morning walks. I have also spent nights in my mum's place so her dog would know someone is there whenever she went out of town. I usually will always love and care for the furbabies alongside my own giving them the love they need and deserve. Currently I'm not working but do plan to work soon as I did just move here. All furbabies will be treated and cared for as of they are my own. I'll always keep an eye out for your furbaby making sure they are safe.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was little! I have a huge soft spot for all animals. My family and friends always rely on me to care for their houses and pets! With a sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one recently, I decided to take some time off and be more focused on myself. That being said, my schedule is extremely open and flexible! I have a very high energy boarder collie so working with energetic dogs are not a problem for me whatsoever! I understand every animal should be getting their energy out and enjoy their lives!
About: Very experienced, patient, compassionate and fun pet parent here. I started my journey with animals by raising Guide Dog puppies for the blind at 13 and my passion only grew from there. I worked at different dog kennels throughout my young adult life and after taking a break to raise my own children, I worked as the primary in a non profit dog rescue in Oregon for several years. We have recently relocated to Oklahoma and look forward to making new friends and connections here as well! I currently work part time and have 2 children and poodles at home so I do not currently take overnight pet guests. However, I have plenty of time to stop by and take your fur baby for a walk or do check ins when you are away. I am honest and trustworthy as well as reliable. I am careful, thorough, and detail oriented. I also have excellent communication skills and will keep you updated every step of the way.

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 .
As of July 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Merlin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Merlin 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 Merlin. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
