“Jonathan was always excellent with my dog! I got lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. Bella absolutely loved going and would run full speed into doggy day care. Thank so much for taking such great care of her!”
“Vicky D. Thank you for taking great care of Gia during her stay. Communication was excellent, and the experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. I would happily book with you again and recommend your services to others.”
“Elana is very responsive and communicative. I’m from out of town and unexpectedly needed dog care, and she was able to care for my dog without a Meet-&-Greet which was very helpful for me. I have a senior dog and she asked if he can take the stairs, or needed to be taken up the elevator or carried, showing great thoughtfulness to his wellness — no one has ever asked that before!”
About: I had dog since I was a child, I treat them as part of family, with respect and a lot of love. That’s why they can sleep in my own bed. I work from home, so I have plenty time to care your baby, and spend quality time with him and enjoy time together me my baby Matilda and your baby. I live in a security community with lots of green areas , and there’s also a dedicated dog park. Your baby are in safe hands.
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs and cats since I was 14. I am 38 now so I have over 20 years of experience. I absolutely love going on walks with them. I have trained puppies before and administered medication to all ages of dogs. I am also very comfortable with giving baths. I work Monday to Friday 9-5 and am happy to be flexible out side of that! My days off are Saturdays and Sundays. There are some days I will be able to work from home. I am able to do whatever is needed for that pet. I have two indoor/spoiled kitties that are really sweet and up to date on all vaccinations.
About: I have several years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet care and rescue work. I volunteer with Big Dog Ranch Rescue, and grew up in a foster-based rescue home, helping care for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter box care, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with high-energy pets, as well as more anxious or shy pets, and I always prioritize a calm, reliable environment. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I prioritize keeping your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, medication, and exercise, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress-free environment for every pet. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I’m experienced with administering medication, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and handling shy or anxious pets with patience. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“I had an excellent experience with Christina! She sent me photos of my baby throughout the day so I would know he was alright. She and her husband were very kind to my dog and took the time to pet and comfort him. She has 2 very cute fur babies of her own to keep your dog company. I will definitely use Christina again in the future.”
“My dog enjoyed his stay with Martin and Susie, he had a lot of space to roam around both outside and inside and he had other doggies to play with that the day flew by for him! He slept on the entire drive home! I also loved the photo updates throughout the day! Thank you!”
“She’s excellent, very communicative, very passionate, friendly and she really seems to love what she does. I would definitely recommend her to family & friends !”
“I am extremely grateful for Yamille! 🥹 At first I was worried having someone new take care of my puppy, Milo but after the first booking my worries went away. Yamille sent me a few videos of Milo and even took him on a walk, which reassured me since he seemed happy and relaxed with her. After a couple more bookings, Milo was even excited to see her! 😄 Thank you Yamille, I appreciate you 🩷”
“Priscilla was great. She kept us updated on how lucys first stay was going and she really seemd to care about her. It was a nice feeling knowing our dog was being well cared for.”
About: I have been involved in animal rescue for the past 15 years. I have extensive experience with dogs with behavioral and medical issues. I have owned dogs that were extremely abused and were aggressive. I am able to respect their boundaries and create an environment that is supportive and nurturing. I also have experience with medically needy dogs. I have no issues administering medication, whether orally or with injections. One of my senior rescues that recently passed required medication every 8 hours and eye drops multiple times daily. She was aggressive and never took them without a fight but I found a way to ensure she got the care she needed to live a long and comfortable life. My current two Shih Tzus are younger. I have taken them to training and worked extensively on socializing them. I work from home so I am always available to take care of dogs. I can offer plenty of play time, potty breaks and constant supervision. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are always supervised when they go outside. I have rescued for many years. I have extensive experience with medically needy dogs and dogs with behavioral issues. Keeping the dogs safe is my number one priority. Coming into a new environment can be stressful and I understand respecting a dogs boundaries. Some dogs are not comfortable being handled in the beginning and need to adjust on their own time. My 15+ years of experience rescuing senior dogs with medical and behavioral issues has taught me each dog is different and will adjust slowly and on their own schedule.
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.
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I am my friend’s go-to pet sitter. I foster occasionally for Peggy Adam’s and Big Dog Ranch. Dogs > humans forever Working remotely, I have a very flexible schedule. I also live on a beach where I can take doggos. I go to the gym where I am gone a max of 2 hours, but other than that I’m around to best care for your animal. I can care for your pet both in my home or yours, whichever you prefer. I have a love and passion for dogs and I will do anything to be in good company 🐶
About: Hello! I have been working as an experienced veterinary technician for over 3 years. I am a graduate student doing my first year online and looking to save money before moving to campus :) I am currently a full time graduate student. I will be fully online working from home for the first year before moving states to continue my education. I am looking to save money using my experience as a veterinary technician while doing something I love! I live in a 3 story town home 2 miles from the beach and a short walk to a park and the inlet! I have one cat living in my house but have an agreement with my roommate for her to be in a separate room during boarding stays if necessary. I am currently studying remotely for my first year of graduate school and am able to provide care from my home or yours on a flexible schedule.
“Very kind, warm, and welcoming. Took excellent care of my little one, sent plenty of pictures to keep me up to date on their activities and the experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be using Ashley in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Mila!”

Cassaundra is amazing! She took such great care of my puppy, Picasso, without hesitation. She was prompt, friendly, and genuinely caring. Made me feel comfortable and confident leaving him with her. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Zachary was a great dog sitter and would provide photos and updates on my pup, Kimbu. I needed a dog sitter last minute and he was able to help. Him and his partner were so caring of her and she came happy, and tired from having fun. Which is amazing! I would definitely recommend to any dog parents needing a sitter.
Christina and her husband loved Andy like a member of their own family. They and their pups played with him a lot and he obviously had a great time, as evidenced by the photos and video that Christina sent. I’m so glad to have found such a caring person to care for Andy and I plan on bringing him for doggy day care again ! She has my highest recommendation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,802 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Manalapan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Manalapan commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,802 sitters in Manalapan, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
