About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young and always loved giving them attention and care. I have two cats and a dog of my own right now. I love taking my dog on walks and seeing how much she enjoys it! I’m currently completing my Level II fieldwork for school. I’m at my fieldwork placement Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until around 6 PM, so I’m generally available in the evenings on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are much more open, giving me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. My schedule can occasionally vary, so I’m always happy to communicate and work around your pet’s needs! I’ll make sure to read all instructions carefully and follow everything properly. I respect my clients’ homes and will only be in areas where I’m allowed to be while caring for your pet.
“Jessica is amazing. I finally was able to go away for a few days. I’m always worried about my one diabetic cat. Jessica handled everything perfectly. I will definitely be using her again now that I have the freedom to travel! FYI - She took care of all 3 fur babies!”
About: Hello, my name is Leila Woods and I am currently in my senior year at FAU. I was raised in a quiet beach town, but in a rather noisy house. For furry friends we have had multiple dogs, cats and fish, as well as some bearded dragons! I have been pet sitting for nearly five years now, as I began in high school with watching my neighbors pets. I love being able to spend my time adoring and caring for animals, especially now that I’m away at college with no pets of my own… so your pets will get extra love and attention! I am currently a senior in mostly remote classes and work an online job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! As I don’t have animals of my own I will have extra love and attention for your pets! I treat any animal I work with as my own, being sure to care for its every need. As I care for your pets, I will also care for your home, ensuring all food and toys are where they belong.
“Adriana was wonderful! She was able to help us out with short notice and did a great job. Adriana was a pleasure to communicate with and took very good care of our dog. We came home to a very happy pup!”
“Eduardo is the best Rover we’ve ever had! We had a long trip over the holidays so we asked him to come 3 times a day and he was so great with our German Shepard, who absolutely loved him! He went above and beyond, sent us tons of pictures and was incredibly responsive and helpful. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our boy was happy and taken care of. Highly recommend Eduardo to anyone looking for a trust worthy and kind person to look after your beloved pets!”
“Geri is so good with our dog Winston. She has formed a bond with him. I interviewed her on a Sunday and she started two later. She really helped calm me down about leaving my boy alone. I highly recommend her.”
“Lucy was great, she’s very nice and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable to leave my pup in her care . Lucy provided Pictures and updates of Coco twice a day. Very happy with services, And will request her services in the future.”
About: I have had a plethora of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with senior/special needs cats and dogs and other critters but love pets of all ages! I have a very flexible schedule and I am very active and would love to take your dog on a long or short walk! I also appreciate chilling on the couch with my furry friends as well. I am a very calm person and pets seem to warm up to me easily. I enjoy both dogs and cats and have experience taking care of almost any animal.
“Laura did a great job and checked in with me daily with pictures and updates on my kitties. I would highly recommend her to anyone.She is wonderful. I will definitely be calling her again.”
“Kristen is by far the best sitter we have ever had for our cats. A total cat girl and you can she actually loves our cats. She is overly thorough and has a lot of pride in her services and it shows. We are so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to step in when we are away.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all varieties since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets numerous times over the years. I work part-time. I'm most available for overnight stays Thursday - Sunday as well as between the hours of 10 am to 6 pm on these days. I love long walks with your pet and engaging in fun activities like fetch and tug-of-war as well as lounging when they want a break.
“Stephanie was detail-oriented, and she kept us updated throughout her drop-in visits. Zee was so happy to see her. We could not be happier with her services!”
“Casey was the purrfect sitter for our indoor and outdoor cats. Kind, reliable, and went above and beyond to take care of them. She even helped us out BIG TIME when we had airport travel issues. 11/10 would recommend and looking forward to using in the future.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have built a career around caring for them — including work as an adoptions manager, kennel manager, and veterinary administrator. That background means I'm comfortable with dogs of every size, breed, and energy level, from high-energy pups who want to run laps with me in the yard to seniors who need a slower pace and extra patience. I have hands-on experience administering medication to dogs and cats of all sizes, and I'm especially confident with elderly and special-needs animals. My experience also extends beyond cats and dogs — I've worked with everything from hamsters to lizards to tarantulas, so if your household includes an unusual pet, I'm not fazed. I have reliable transportation and will happily work around your schedule to find what fits best for you. I'm always reachable by phone, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns before, during, or after a booking. I'd love to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) friend — looking forward to it! My schedule is wide open, which is great news for your furry friends! I'm job hunting, but that leaves me with plenty of flexible time for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, you name it. If you need a sitter who can actually work around your schedule instead of the other way around, that's me. I care for pets in their own home rather than mine, since I have my own animal household to manage. I find this actually works out better for your pet too — no new environment, no new smells, no other animals to navigate. Just their own space, their own routine, and me making sure they're comfortable, safe, and loved the whole time you're away.
“Diane is great! We appreciate that she was available during the holidays. We found her after making last minute travel plans and she made the whole process super easy. Diane was accommodating with our schedules and with the cats - helping to keep routines that made them comfortable. She was punctual, observant, and communicative which was very meaningful to us. After traveling all night, it was so nice to arrive to a clean home and happy cats! Thanks again!!”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and had one of my dogs pregnant twice and so I took care of her puppies until they were ready to go with a new family. I’d make sure they were given to the right family. I like to walk dogs to make sure they can be active and won’t get bored. I make sure to clean up after them and make sure they’re fed. Playing with them is the best part of having dogs. Unemployed currently so I have a good amount of free time. I have taken a step back from this app for a few years. Since I have more availability I’d like to come back into this and help owners to make sure their animals have a good experience with my service. I love going on a walk, I can be your dog(s) walking buddy. I do also enjoy chilling and play some toys with dogs or the cats. I’ll match their energy. As long as everyone is comfortable and happy in the end. I have a fenced backyard and front porch with screening doors. The living room has a lot of space so the dogs or cats can chill.

Olivia was amazing! She sent pictures and detailed descriptions every day about our cats eating habits and activity to help reassure us while we were away! Olivia was very sweet and kind she even went above and beyond meeting us the day before to get instructions and the day after to bring us back our house key. 10/10 would recommend and so grateful for her help!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Giuseppe. I was gone for an entire month for my 2 cats and Giuseppe came every day and spent time with them to make sure they were stimulated. He also made sure to keep me updated and sent pictures regularly! It is clear Giuseppe loves and cares for all animals and it is evident in the way my cats were loved and cared for while I was away. You should definitely book Giuseppe for your pet needs!
Jennifer was wonderful with our cat Star. She came over to babysit for a couple of hours and was attentive, kind, and clearly comfortable around animals. Star can be a little particular about people, but Jennifer handled everything calmly and patiently, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Star was in good hands while we were out. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
We had a great experience with Erik and would definitely book him again. He took excellent care of Simba, who requires medication, and followed all instructions carefully. I really appreciated the regular updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing Simba was eating and doing well. We also have two other cats, so it was important that everyone’s food was monitored, and Erik handled that responsibly. He was always on time and very reliable throughout the stay. Highly recommend Erik!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,853 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Manalapan. 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 Manalapan. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
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.
