About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as long as I can remember. I have also been pet-sitting for about 3 years and I work in boarding and daycare at Lodi Veterinary Care. I’m currently attending school and working part time but I am completely free on most weekends to provide your dog with all the love they deserve! I am willing to stay at your home with your pup and leash walk if needed. I enjoy walking and playing with them as well!
“She took amazing care of our dogs for 5 days, coming every day and spending a full hour playing with them and making sure they were happy and well cared for. She is reliable, kind, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We would highly recommend her!”
“Heather was fantastic!! We have three elderly pets-two dogs and a cat. Heather administered medication and spent time with them so they weren’t lonely. They loved her and we enjoyed seeing the photos she sent us of them. We will be reaching out to Heather every time we need someone to drop in for our babies. Thank you so much Heather for giving us the ease of mind to have fun while we were away from home!!”
“Bethany was awesome! Dexter and French Fry had rave reviews when we came home from our trip. The pictures for each visit were our favorite thing to look over and share. Super great experience, I’ve already recommended Bethany to my neighbors!”
“Kimberly did an awesome job with my two senior cats. Zeke didn’t lose any weight while I was gone and Willie was spoiled with frequent walks on his leash to the point that I probably can’t live up to his new expectations 🙄. Will definitely use Kimberly again.”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!”
“Rebecca was a treasure! Both for me and my kitters. Pics, and even a video, from each visit, showed how much Zuko warmed up to her right away. Communication before and after was so helpful, since I'd never used a service such as this before. Rebecca's service is definitely a 5-star rating. I'll be calling on her again and again, as needed. Thank you so very much!! NS”
“Ashley always does an outstanding job with Lincoln. Lincoln is very comfortable going on walks with Ashley, taking breaks, feeding and playing with him. We are fortunate to be able to have someone as reliable as Ashley to take care of Lincoln when we are gone!”
About: I have had dogs since I was to young to remember! My passion has always been making dogs happy! Through having completely different kinds of dogs myself and helping with family and friends I have gotten experience with all type of animals! I am currently only working part time and looking to stay busy walking pups! I live a very active lifestyle and bringing the dogs along is always my favorite. I currently have my own pets whom are extremely social and friendly! I have a big yard any dog would love to run and play in!
About: I grew up with dogs and horses and I now have cats as well I love all animals and I would do anything for them I will keep them safe and loved. I worked for a lady for about a year and a half and I took care of all of her pets and loved them and treated them as my own which I would do with yours as well. My main priority is keeping your pets safe and loved as I know how much they mean to you. I am currently trying to find a part time job but I will have time to do this and will make time if things are needed. I can crate your dogs if needed, I can feed them, I can love on them, I can let them out to go potty, and I can of course walk them. You let me know what you need and I can do it.
About: I had worked at a doggy day care facility for about three years so I’m pretty used to a wide range of breeds and their needs. My family also used to breed Great Danes so I have experience taking care of very little baby’s and dogs that need medicine and special care. I also own three dogs of my own and all different kinds of animals so I’m very well versed in taking care of unique needs! I just earned my bachelors degree in exercise science and am home for the summer looking for different job opportunities before attending graduate school in the fall! I currently am working a morning waitressing position that would make me unavailable from 8am to 2pm and am working a second shift waitressing position usually from 4pm-9pm. So depending on what you’re looking for in a sitter we could work around those hours and I will be available for morning, lunch, and evening potty breaks! I have had lots of experience with all different kinds of animals and am very passionate about safety and wellbeing. Detailed lists and consistent communication are what would make me feel comfortable giving your pet the highest quality care I could offer! I have been with rover for about 6 years now and still message with a few families when they go out of town or on vacation. I would make sure to replicate your routine within my home or yours!
About: I've always had dogs growing up. I love to be outside and active, so having a pet makes it that much more enjoyable. I have a 1 year old puppy who loves to play with others in our fenced in yard. I'm currently working Mondays, so I have more time available to spend with your pup. My family also is home full time to always be here to help. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly puppy to play with while they are here. Lots of freedom to run and play.
About: My very first job was working at a family owned boarding and grooming kennel. I started when I was 14 years old and worked there through college. In between that, I've pet sat for several family members and friends. I work full time as a second shift (3:00 pm - 11pm) 911 dispatcher. I'd love to do some evening or early morning walks to start and would like to expand into pet sitting as my schedule allows. I have preference to pet sitting at the clients home because my roommates dog is a bit fickle on who she gets along with. Plus I own a cat and I know not every dog likes cats. As a pet sitter, I intend to take your dog for regular walks in addition to normal outside play time. I can work with your dog on any ongoing training you have with them.
“Maggie is wonderful! I feel so at ease knowing a trusted professional is with my pets! She is reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with! She always gives updates and I think the pets love her too! Would recommend 100%”
About: I am a 19 years old and have grown up loving animals since day one. I am a very energetic person that absolutely loves to play with animals of all sorts. I am just as comfortable being outside with a Great Dane as I am being indoor with a five pound cat. I have a plethora of experience walking all sizes and breeds of dogs as well. I have no problem taking a leisure walk in the park or going for a run with dogs that want to try to keep up. I have been to multiple different dog training classes with my own dog. For dogs that are interested in staying at my house I have plenty of space in my home and in my yard to run around and have a blast. I am currently working part time and am available after 2 P.M. most days. I do not work on the weekends and I am free both days I am active and willing to walk and play with all sorts of pets indoors and outdoors. I enjoy playing with exercising all kinds of animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 658 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merrimac. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merrimac. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
