“Sent us lots of pictures of our pup and he was so happy to be with Cindy. She saved us in a pinch when the air bnb we rented changed their pet policy at the last minute! She put our minds at ease and we would definitely recommend her!!”
“Joanne was so nice and made us feel so at ease. She was very responsive, kind and trustworthy. We highly recommend her and would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Kristen was one of the best sitters my pup has had. Her and her family took such good care of Mochi. Mochi had so much fun and felt at home. Kristen sent me many pictures and updates throughout the long weekend which I loved. She was flexible with changing the pickup time too. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!”
“Paola did a phenomenal job caring for our Kody. He has minor issues with separation anxiety and Paola made sure he had his medication each day at the appropriate time. She incorporated him right into her household and he fit right in and relaxed immediately. Her and her husband loved him as their own. The pictures and videos she sent made it apparent that Kody was relaxed and having a great time. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Paola and her husband Sebastián. Thanks for loving on him!”
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”
“She was very accommodating! I decided to beat the storm and pick up my baby early, therefore waking her and her family at almost midnight and she was understanding!”
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Danielle is very well set up for running a pet boarding business. Inside her home there are multiple safety gates from room to room to keep the dogs safe in case they get naughty. Her home is very clean and beautiful. She has a beautiful back yard with a pool and grass and trees. She is very sweet and friendly and kind. I think Olivia had a great time, from the pictures that she sent me and she made some friends!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”
“Thomas is a great soul. We left our fur baby for a week. Our sense of security was unmatched. We felt so relaxed and confident on our vacation Great communication and such great care is hard to find. We found a gem here. Can’t thank Thomas enough! Ten star recommendation!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Rudy loved his Rover vacation!!!! Up from GA going with family to the beach in NJ a co-worker recommended Rover. Kristin was the best ever! We visited about a 2 wks before and she let Rudy run around her house and backyard. Rudy fell in love with Kristin. All I worried about was that Rudy wouldn’t want to come home. He was happy to see us but already misses Kristin. I am hoping Kristin will be able to care for Rudy next summer. Thank you Kristin for caring for Rudy and giving my family a stress free week. Loved all the pictures you were kind enough to update us with! Rudy, Ellen and Sean”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manahawkin
This was our first time boarding our 1 year old puppy and Kristen was so great with her! Luna typically has very bad anxiety and she got acclimated quickly. Kristen was able to administer her daily anxiety medication and help with potty training. I felt so relieved knowing she was in such great hands while we were out of state!
Jousline did an amazing job caring for my French Bulldog, Jorden. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Jorden can be a little particular, but Jousline was patient and handled everything professionally. I also appreciated the updates and communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jousline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manahawkin on Rover is $63.27 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 433 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Manahawkin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Manahawkin sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Manahawkin landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Manahawkin home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Manahawkin.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Manahawkin sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
