Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even backyard animals, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, gentleness, and lots of attention.

You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and very in tune with animals’ needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a slower approach, I meet them where they are.

My goal is simple — to give your pet a peaceful, loving experience while you’re away 🤍 I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pups. I'm great with animals and trustworthy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space. I can also walk your dog in or around my yard. I will keep your pet safe at all times.

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I love all animals! My experience growing up with multiple pets have taught me so much about their needs! I currently work full time and get home at 5pm on weekdays. Very flexible during weekday afternoons and open on the weekends at any time! I currently do not offer my home for services. I am more than happy to take care of your pets in their own homes or outside areas!
“Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!”
“Brianna is the best. Even our very shy cat came out to see her on day one this time (and this was only the second time we’ve had the pleasure of booking Brianna), proving Brianna’s clear awesomeness. She is also great with all the details, allowing us total peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so, so much, Brianna!!!”
About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe and comfortable, there is a huge fenced yard to play while outside. I will always do my best to make sure your pet feels at home. ❤️ I’m currently staying at home as I’m a retired vet, I do morning drop off to school then I am free to keep your pet company I have a fence yard and a small Yorkie to keep your dog company. I can also crate train if needed if that is preferred
“This was our second time booking with Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again in the future! It’s so nice to know that Rosie is in good hands and that we have someone we can trust to take great care of her.”
About: Growing up fostering rescue dogs from 11 hour rescue taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I work full-time and work from home on Fridays, so I’m very flexible and available Friday through Sunday. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for your pup! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect each pet’s individual needs.
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.
“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 have had two dogs that we adopted as puppies, one was a small dog and the other is a medium bully breed. I also have experience with cats via friends and family. I used to dogsit for my neighbor’s senior dog as well! I love all animals of any size, breed, shape, etc! :) I am recently graduated from my master’s degree program and am currently working a couple nights a week as a server until I start my full time job in September! I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a park close by and the salty bay for them to sniff, and I also have experience with difference types of houses/yards when it comes to client’s homes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manahawkin
This was the first time leaving Olive with someone other than family. I was quite nervous since I would be gone for two weeks. I had nothing to worry about with Leanne. Olive is a nervous dog and Leanne always made her feel comfortable. She took her on daily walks, made numerous visits to Olive each day and made sure she was drinking and eating. Leanne even took care of my houseplants, outdoor potted plants and took out the garbage!! She went above and beyond what I was expecting of a sitter. I am so happy we met her.
It was Kayla's first visit and we were extremely pleased at the level of care that she provided to our cats. Kayla went above and beyond what was expected, as one of our cats is very challenging. Kayla demonstrated a can-do attitude that we really appreciated.
It's my first time using this app and I was hesitant at first, letting someone I don't know into my house and take care of my cat, but my mind was at ease when Cindy sent pictures each visit. She took such great care of my baby. I'll definitely reserve Cindy in the future!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Manahawkin on Rover is $21.65 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,202 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manahawkin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manahawkin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
