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.

“Tara is a wonderful, engaged, and considerate sitter. I have never seen my nervous dog relax with anyone the way he did with Tara. She kept me updated with notes and photos while I was gone and I came home to a happy puppy. I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone with a skittish dog!”

About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: Animals are truly my passion. I hope to have a lot of them someday when I have the money, time and land. In the meantime I’m on rover to spend time with dogs, help people out, and be productive during my free time. I love an excuse to get up early during the week and go for a walk or just hang out with the fuzzy babies. I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) When I stay at your house with your dogs/cats I will be there when agreed upon and overnight if agreed upon. I need to be able to leave for at leave a couple of hours each day I am staying. I’m there for feeding, playing, potties, snuggles, treats, sleeping, and whatever else the furry ones need!

About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family's pets since I was young. Recently I have been pet sitting as many dogs and kitties as I can. I’m very adaptable and adore animals. I dance part time, on Monday’s 3-9, Tuesdays 7-9, and Thursdays 3-7. Other than that my time is completely flexible for pet sitting. I’m very tidy and will always leave the house better than I found it! I’m also good with cleaning up puppy/kitty accidents.

About: I have a cat and a dog who absolutely run our household! I would love to spend time with many different breeds! I briefly worked at a dog day care when I was in high school and was able to dog sit two golden retrievers for the family I baby sat for. I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own!! I currently work 7-4 during week days! Most of my free time is after work and during the weekends I have a good amount of flexibility in me evenings to schedule appointments as needed! I focus mainly on dog walking services and maintaining safety for the dog while there is top priority! We will mainly be walking on trails or less trafficked streets. I am open to discussing any concerns or precautions for each specific dog.

About: I’m a graduate student looking for a lighthearted side job doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life and have more than five years of dog-sitting experience. I also worked for two years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and activity levels. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have no classes on Fridays, and my weekends are generally free, which gives me flexible availability for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also enjoy getting outside and would love to spend that time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care in my apartment, but I am happy to travel to clients’ homes for dependable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and care.

She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”

Maggie is great. She's been helping with my dogs for a few months. They can be quite skittish with new people, and they were comfortable with her right away. She's reliable and trustworthy, and I'm happy to have her as a sitter

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Merton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
