“Olivia is the best! She helped our shy cat by giving her tons of love. Kitty loved her as well. It is a testament to her excellence that she was able to pet her and give lots of love. Do your cat a favor and give yourself great peace of mind knowing Olivia is caring for your furry family member!!!”
“Robert did a splendid job with our dog Rebel. We left him with instructions for food and medicine, and he carried them out faithfully. Robert was respectful, on-time, and thorough. We have already booked him again later this month!”
About: I have worked with my own and others' pets over the years when they have had medical challenges such as taking medication, needing eye drops, etc. I'm happy to pill animals when needed and happy to work with whatever guidelines the owners provide. Whether you need just a quick check-in and feeding, or a longer visit and enrichment, I'm so happy to be there to help keep your pets happy and healthy when you're not able to! I have an open schedule and would be happy to accommodate your needs. I am available early mornings through early evenings and would be happy to stop in more than once a day if needed! I cannot take additional animals into my own home as my cats are both quite skittish. However, I would be very happy to care for animals in your home with whatever safety protocols work for you and your animals!
“Grayce was wonderful with our two Goldens. She was punctual and super responsive to messages during our trip. She also took multiple pictures of the pups and left a detailed report after each visit. We definitely recommend you book with Grayce if you need a sitter!”
About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.
About: Hey!! I’m Kirsten, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my brother and I cared for our own pets and even helped stray animals in our neighborhood. That love for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I also have hands-on experience working with an animal rescue, where I helped care for 14 dogs and 12 cats. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, providing basic daily care, keeping the animals comfortable, and—of course—giving them plenty of attention and love. I’ve also provided dog sitting and pet care for others over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m currently interested in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, companionship, or simply someone there to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to help. As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of love while they’re with me. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full time and would be working around my schedule to accommodate the needs of everyone. Each dog will be loved and cared for as anyone else. ❤️❤️❤️ I do not have a fenced in area on my drive. My three other sides are fenced in. Looking to figure out how to fence the driveway. ❤️❤️❤️
“A gracious, very responsible person. We are so happy to have met her and will continue to call on her to help us with our ‘3 fur faces’ She brings a lot of credibility to Rover.com!”
“Sarah-Jane is a respectful and responsible sitter. I had an impromptu engagement and she was very helpful at such short notice. She took the time to meet YaYa first before the sitting and to get a little familiar with the routine. My dog YaYa loves her and looks forward to the next time Sarah-Jane can watch her. Sarah-Jane also left me a very nice thank you card which was very unexpected.”
“Thank you Julian for looking after our sweet Murray!! Julian was excellent with our shy 5yr old tuxedo. He was fed twice a day and Julian was able to give him his eye drops. Julian was very communicative and sent in lots of pictures with each check-in. We knew Murray was in good hands- thank you so much Julian- we will definitiely use your services again!”
About: Ive taken care of all types of animals all my life, and have always made sure that their care is my number 1 priority. I grew up around dogs and always fed bathed and walked them, and made sure they always had the best. As an adult I have a multitude of pets including birds, cats, fish, and lizards, and have a wide range of knowledge on animal behaviors and needs. I currently work full time from 11-7 and typically have Fridays and Saturdays or Saturdays and sundays off, which provides you with time to have your weekends taken care of. Later starts in my day allow me to visit your furry friends before work and to take them out afterwards before bedtime. Your pets will have my full attention and devotion, paying attention to their attitude around me and others, and make sure that they are always comfortable in their surroundings.
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties. She came over a day early for a meet and greet and our kitties warmed to her really quickly. She was very communicative and sent great updates. We loved having Hannah as our sitter and will definitely use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Merrimack is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,398 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Merrimack. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
