“Paula was a wonderful dog sitter! She shared daily photo and video updates and made sure my boy was taken care of. She lives right by the beach so she took him for lots of Oceanside fetch and he loves that! I had a flight delay coming home and she even dropped him back at my house for me so I didn’t have to go get him in the middle of the night. Would work with her again :)”
“Kristin was excellent with my dog. She provided constant updates with photo’s and communicated throughout. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Vicky is the best dog sitter you could ever find. She is trusting, warm, friendly, experienced and she truly cares about animals. I have a very difficult dog who I rescued, and he doesn 't love strangers. Vicky was very patient and loving, and was able to send me pictures of her picking him up. I haven't met anyone else who could do that to my dog, I can't speak higher of Vicky and her home. So grateful I found her for my little boy.”
“Gail was so kind in being able to watch Nala last minute for a few hours. Felt very comfortable leaving Nala with her! She was very responsive and took good care of our pup.”
“Felicia is very sweet and caring! Took amazing care of our 2 small pups for the weekend. Plenty of communication and photos. We will use her again! Thank you Felicia!”
“My dogs were in amazing hands with Lisa! She is super trustworthy and amazing at her job. I would totally recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again! Thanks Lisa!”
“Another great experience with Sarina. Our little pups is always so happy after leaving her care and she does such an amazing job of sending photos and video updates. Completely at ease when Obie is with her. And Obie is looking forward to his next visit!!”
“This was my first time leaving shaggy in an unfamiliar home. Anna and Irena made me and shaggy feel welcomed and I would trust them with caring for my Shaggy any time. Thank you for the ❤️ and care you provide. Ileana M”
“Emily was the best!!! She took care of our golden, Koa, for a full week and made sure to keep us updated with pictures the entire time. He looked like he was in great care!! My flight home was cancelled last minute and Emily was super accommodating and communicative. Would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely come back to her again!”
“Christen was super sweet and it seems like my dog Whiskey had a great time! He got to play with other furry friends and didn’t want to leave her backyard haha. Thank you Christen!”
“Tiffany was wonderful with Maxwell! She helped me out on very short notice, picked him up from my home, and took great care of him for the afternoon. She sent me pictures and videos while he was with her, which I really appreciated and found very reassuring. She was friendly, reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable knowing Maxwell was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Tiffany and would happily have her watch Maxwell again!”
“I could tell immediately that Kendall was the type of person my dogs needed. When I picked them up they seemed really happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond for them, even getting them extra food in case they needed it.”
“McKenzie was wonderful. It was a bit of a last-minute booking and she was super flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. She sent pictures throughout my trip letting me know Theo was okay and even offering to take him to the dog beach. Theo got along beautifully with her dog, who was very sweet. I would absolutely recommend McKenzie and will definitely rebook for all my trips!”
“Theresa and family were awesome! We are so happy with the care they gave Maggie. She was very happy with the family and is in great shape after we picked her up. We would definitely use them again!”
About: My entire family has always had pets, but pets have always been family to me. I found that I have an immense love for these animals and we're so lucky to have them in our lives. My first ever job was animal care! I have volunteered at many animal rescue places, fostered orphaned kittens just for the love of it. I am able to handle breeds large and small, if your pup prefers an outing to the beach I am also willing to offer those services, I hope you find the perfect pet sitter here. I am an artist and would love to fill the time not working with some good exercise with dogs or even a relaxing day with a kitty, my schedule is relatively open and I am able to handle early clients. Any required walks, medications, accident cleanup, and feedings + litter changes are offered with my services. In my own home it would be strictly indoor care, I offer crate services for dogs in a very quiet relaxed environment overnight. If the dog has a lot of energy and friendly I am willing to have them roam around the house and do a lot of leash time outdoors walking or running in my quiet and clean neighborhood.
“Odalys and Manuel were amazing with my Lily. This was the first time I've boarded my dog and I'm so happy I did it with them. Right before boarding my Lily had an allergic reaction and had a bit of extra instructions with her medications. But they did an amazing job. They constantly sent me updates throughout the day and really treated my dog like she was family.”
“Gabriela took very good care of my small dog. She sent lots of updates during his stay. She kept me informed of everything that was going on with him. She also sent pictures and videos of him. Gabriela is very quick to respond to texts and kept communication lines open. I would trust her to watch my pet again”
“Abbe is terrific! After our meet-and-greet, we immediately knew she was going to take great care of our pups. Communication was easy and she is quick to respond. Our pups had a great time during their sta and we will definitely be using Abbe again as a sitter. Thank you Abbe!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our three dogs in her care. She was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were her own. We received updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home to three relaxed and happy dogs says everything about the incredible job she did. We truly felt our dogs were safe and in the best hands possible. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. 10/10—we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Emily was the best!!! She took care of our golden, Koa, for a full week and made sure to keep us updated with pictures the entire time. He looked like he was in great care!! My flight home was cancelled last minute and Emily was super accommodating and communicative. Would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely come back to her again!
I highly recommend Cassie. She was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Maya. She was friendly, accommodating, easy to communicate with, and made me feel at ease while I was traveling by sending lots of pictures and updates each day. I came home to a very happy pup and could tell she had received lots of love and been well cared for. I would book with Cassie again!
This is the first time I boarded Lolli with a sitter and we were SO LUCKY to have found Ashley! Lolli was very anxious and she went above and beyond to care for her, communicating with me all the way, so kind and generous! After the first difficulties Lolli was perfectly happy and secure, and I am so, so thankful for her dedication and care. Six stars!⭐️
We were set to be out of the country for 10 days. Piper, our 14 year old yorkie, had been staying with another lady when we would go somewhere that would not accommodate dogs, but she retired last year. I had originally found her on Rover and decided to look again for a dog With specific needs. I contacted Emily and we took Piper over to visit. She loved it there and Emily could not get enough of Piper, and she said yes! I had written instructions on feeding, quirks, etc. The day we dropped her off. Emily sent pictures and videos of what they had been doing all week! Piper loved the big dog pillow and claimed it as hers! We came back and was ready for home but I know piper would love to visit Emily again. Since she only takes one dog at a time that was a blessing. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who has a senior dog. We love her!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Manalapan can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Manalapan 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 Manalapan.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manalapan. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Manalapan 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 FL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
