“Jenifer is wonderful with my pets. She was loving, patient, and took such good care of them. It made me feel much better getting all of the photos and updates from her. Sometimes when I go out of town I come home and my pets are starved for attention. They definitely were at ease and it was obvious they had gotten a lot of attention while I was away. Thank you, Jenifer! I will definitely be having her watch my pets again in the future.”
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
“Joey did an excellent job with our girls and was so communicative. We’re so happy that she was available and loved the girls as much as we do. Definitely will be booking her again!”
“Allison was an amazing sitter for our four cats — Stanley, Pebbles, Murphy, and Harley. Stanley is a full-time attention hog, but Allison made sure everyone got their cuddles and pets during each visit. She also flawlessly handled Stanley’s nightly oral medication (6/6 successful doses 👏), which is no small feat. All cats are on various different prescription foods, and she fed them perfectly, kept water bowls full, and made sure dry food was always available. We loved the detailed Rover report cards and all the photos — it was clear she spent the full hour with them, just as requested. I know we are coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and total peace of mind. She also brought all our packages into the house, which is a bonus.”
“Shane was very responsive and able to accommodate me with a last minute check in request on my Whiskey boy. I really appreciated the details and notes left in the rover card so I knew how my kiddo was doing. I would absolutely use Shane and Mikaela again!”
“I can’t recommend Maddie highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute over the Christmas holiday when I had a family emergency, and she was absolutely fantastic. Maddie took amazing care of my two cats, Isabella and Coco. Coco is notoriously shy and has always hidden from previous sitters, but Maddie worked her magic and managed to coax her out—something no one else has been able to do! She made sure both cats ate well, stayed happy, and received plenty of attention. Maddie also kept me updated with daily videos and photos, which gave me such peace of mind during a stressful time. Maddie is a true professional and clearly loves animals. I feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!
“Jessica was amazing!! Our crew loved hanging out with her! She sent pics with every drop in and was very attentive to the group! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and we will be booking with her again!”
“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”
“Audrey was very responsive, supportive, and helpful while we were away for work, taking care of our cats. She would send daily pictures and a give us a report of how the kittens were doing! She was great!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).
“Madeline was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, caring, and communicative throughout the time she cared for my cat, and she even checked in on my snake to make sure everything was okay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. I really appreciated her reliability and the love and attention she gave them. I would gladly have her pet sit for me again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Merton on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,006 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merton. 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 Merton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
