“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: I had two dogs growing up I loved so much. My friends and family run to me when they have any type of dog service needed as they know I love animals. I have done plenty of walks, overnight services, and drop-ins. I adore dogs so so much and have a strong passion to give them top quality care as if they were my very own! I walk, sit, and board dogs full time. I take pet care as a seriously job. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and in between! I have open availability and aside of that am a stay at home mom. I recently moved away from my childhood home where we had to dogs. But I would go on walks with them every single day and took care of a lot of their daily needs. I treat every single dog as if they were my own. I truly believe dogs are not just pets but are family members who deserve the same level and care as a child.
“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 around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve raised and puppy-trained dogs, have experience with exotic animals, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m free all day Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I only work a short evening shift, and on weekends I work until about 4:30pm. That leaves me with lots of time to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment community has a fenced dog park for safe outdoor play, along with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks. While my apartment is on the smaller side, your pet will have lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and one on attention during their stay.
“Manda was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she gave me the ultimate experience. She ensured my 3 kitties were fed and comfortable while I was away for a last minute work trip. She was very attentive and I would recommend her to anyone with fur babies. Her response times were also impeccable!”
“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’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 in school in the morning hours so I am available in the afternoon and evening. Sometimes I get out of school earlier. I enjoy staying active during the time I am not sitting at a desk in school, so I would love to walk and care for loved pets when needed! I will make sure to read all instructions and follow everything properly. I respect clients home's and only will be where I am allowed to care for your fur baby.
“Laura was truly amazing while watching my cat, Fynn. She took amazing action shots of Fynn playing and gave detailed descriptions of his activity. Definitely recommend Laura! I had a ton of peace of mind knowing that Laura was taking care of my little guy”
“Alexis is FANTASTIC!!!! I came home to a sparkling clean home, kitties well taken care of, she even vacuumed and cleaned up. She sent me pictures of the cats every day and even my very shy boy cat loved her! She’s gonna be my go-to catsitter now, terrific job!”
About: I’ve owned various animals almost my entire life, and have always jumped to help out family and friends when needed on their days out. Truly spending time with animals is a big joy of mine :)) I currently work full time during the week, but i’m free on weekends for over night sittings or just regular walks. Week night walks are great for me too :) I understand dogs can get a little rowdy sometimes but I will be very careful when playing, and keep my best to have them entertained and well fed :) I’ve always grown up with pets, one of my own being 18 years old and still kicking today! He is blind now but he’s still thriving and running around as if he were a baby. He truly is a big part of why i’m so fond of taking care of animals as he was my very first fur baby!
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 currently work full time during the week but enjoy pet sitting in evenings or weekends! I am very active and would love to take your dog on a long or short walk! 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.
About: 🐶 Hi, I’m Denise — Your Pet’s New Favorite Human Animals aren’t just something I care for — they’re part of my world. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, chickens, and even rescue bunnies, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I take my time, let them set the pace, and give them affection, patience, and presence. 💻 I Work From Home — Your Pets Get Full Attention Because I work remotely, I’m home with your pets most of the day. That means: Consistent company and supervision No long stretches alone Plenty of walks, playtime, or lap time Your pet becomes my “co-worker,” and I couldn’t ask for better company. I maintain a flexible schedule for multiple breaks throughout the day and evening. I love long walks, throwing the ball or just cuddles while watching TV. I truly love animals and would treat your precious one as if they were my own.
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.
About: Dogs are my passion, I treat them all like they are my own. I have been handling and caring for all types of dogs with all types of temperaments for years. I am able to administer medication. I am reliable and trust worthy. All I do is take care of animals all day everyday! I have a dog of my own who loves to play and go to dog park ! Life is better with animals! I am very good at following directions, I will take whatever steps necessary to insure your pet is properly cared for. I and very dependable and punctual, it’s so important when taking care of everyone’s babies. Pets are family, I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Manalapan
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 July 2026, there are 1,791 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
