“Susie was great. She did drop-ins for my dog, Peanut, and always made sure to send pictures and video updates, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. She also followed all the instructions I gave her for Peanut. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need a sitter for Peanut.”

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and puppies since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs.

I’ve helped neighbors and several family members with everything from basic needs to more specialized care, including feeding prescription medicine, regular bathing, and grooming. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing the love and attention your pet deserves!

If your dog is crate-trained or requires crating, I’m happy to accommodate their routine!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes through pet sitting for family members and friends. I’ve looked after large breeds like German Shepherds, medium breeds like Golden Doodles, and small breeds like Pugs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have also house sat for family members and friends, keeping their homes clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive care. I will be starting nursing school soon, but my schedule still allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can give pets a bathroom break before leaving around 6:40 a.m., return around 12:30 p.m. for another potty break and check-in, and then be back after 3:00 p.m. From that point on, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention as needed for the rest of the day. I am committed to following your pet’s routine and will complete all care instructions and household tasks before leaving. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any other specific requests. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, taking out the trash, and making sure the home is secure before I leave. I communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Merryman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 278 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Merryman. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merryman. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
