“So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!”
“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”
“Theresa was amazing and will be using her again. We had some issues with other sitters coming to house and Theresa made our dog feel Comfortable and I could tell she really Loved her.”
About: Hi! I’m Ashley and I would love to care for your pets. I work as a bather at petsmart so I am always handling dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I view all animals as a part of the family and I love hearing a good rescue story! I have many years experience in rabbit rescue. I also used to work as a kennel technician years ago. I have 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, 3 ducks, a jumping spider and a lizard. So I am comfortable caring for any animal including most exotics. I can also do nail trims for rabbits and any dogs who are tolerable of it. I currently work part time at petsmart, so i have a lot of spare time for walks and drop ins to care for your fur baby! (Or scaley/feathered baby) I believe that the safety of animals always comes first. I volunteered in rabbit rescue for several years and animal welfare is very important to me. I see my pets as my babies and fully understand the legitimacy of our pets being valued family members.
“Kaleigh was amazing with caring for our dog. She was prompt with her visits. Her communication was great and detailed and our dog looked so happy. Kaleigh is also very personable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her for your pet care”
About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I have over two years of experience working at Lucky’s, an animal boarding facility. There, I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I dealt with puppies, seniors, and those with anxiety. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, giving medications, and handling high energy or anxious dogs. What sets me apart is my professional background combined with a genuine love for animals. I know how to read dog behavior, respond calmly in any situation, and make sure each pup feels safe and cared for. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8–5, but I’m fully available on weekends and evenings. I make sure to give pets the attention and care they need before and after work, and I’m especially flexible on weekends for walks, playtime, or overnight care. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize making pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I won’t be able to care for pets in my home, as I have an anxious beagle that does not do well with other dogs. As for my clients home, I will follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. I’ll provide fresh food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and keep you updated with messages or photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to treat your pet like family and make your home their happy, calm space.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I have watched my neighbors dog. I am always dog sitting my boyfriend’s Golden Retriever! I love teaching dogs new tricks and getting them as much activity and attention as needed! I’m currently only working weekends. Days vary as there other employees. I can make my own schedule for work most of the time if I were to have a schedule stay with your pup. I unfortunately had to put my dog to rest recently but he was so very loved for 12 years. Constantly getting walks and running around in the backyard, and MANY tummy rubs and kisses. As this time, I would not provide dog sitting in my own home, as for my parents are re doing the hardwood flooring due to the claw scratches. I treat all other dogs as if they were my own and would be more then happy to come to your house and give your dog love and attention!
“Daisy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She updated us each day with several pics. She was mindful of the heat and avoided walking her by other dogs.”
“Hannah is great with our pets, and also very responsive and pleasant. We don’t worry about the pets when we know Hannah is taking very good care of them while we are away.”
“We are always so pleased after she has been over to check on Liam! She spends quality time with him and sends pictures of their time together. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of her services and I hope for more in the future! Highly recommend!! 😊❤️👍”
“Kim was very easy and accommodating, especially since I had a rather last minute (first time using Kim) need for a sitter! She came and met my pups and even helped me when I had some issues with my app! She was very thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!”
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.
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
“Sophia did a great job checking on my animals. She was clean, thorough, always checked in and sent photos. She’s trustworthy and good with animals, and I’m very happy with her as a pet sitter.”
About: I love all animals! I am very patient and engaging with dogs and cats. I believe our pets are part of the family and I just want to make your loved one feel special and happy during the time that you are away. I cared for my beagle for a long time he has since gone to the large rainbow in the sky. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my friends and family. I specialize in giving medication to cats and dogs. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, picky eaters and older dogs and cats as well. Safety is priority when it comes down to it. I would not do anything that will harm or make your pet feel uncomfortable. I would love to take care of your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I am on my going back to school journey. I am currently a student at OCC and I attended classes once a week to allow myself to work part time as a house cleaner,a care taker and of course here on Rover. I am going to school to become a nurse. Only 2 more classes until nursing school! I'm pretty flexible let me know what time works best to me and we can figure it out! I have a large backyard and a friendly adult cat he gets along well with other dogs after a meetup up. He loves people as well.
About: As a daughter of a practicing veterinary technician, I have over 30 years of experience handling all types of animals from dogs to horses & can accommodate any pet’s specific needs, specifically senior care and medication administration. I work full-time Monday through Friday but as a lifelong horse, dog and cat owner I’m used to the daily responsibilities that come with pet ownership and take great pride in providing exceptional care to all of my furry friends, whether my personal pets or to assist someone else. It’s never easy to trust a stranger with you fur-kids, but they’re in safe hands with me. I will do whatever is necessary to accommodate the pet & their owner’s specific care requirements. I cannot currently have pets at my property as I have a senior German Shepherd that requires her own space, but I am more than welcome to travel to a client’s house to care for their pet(s) as needed!
“Lisa was very accommodating when I had surgery and was unsure of the time I would need her until the day before. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Manahawkin is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 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 1,134 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manahawkin. 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 Manahawkin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
