“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!”

“Trooper received wonderful care during his stay. He definitely looked forward to seeing Jim and family as he raced into the house each morning! He looks forward to seeing you again in the future.”
“Martin took time to meet Axel and Finn to be certain that they and his other charges would get along. And, they did. Axel and Finn made themselves comfortable and at home, as we could see in the photos Martin so kindly texted during their stay. Axel and Finn are BIG boys - each over 90 pounds - and Martin handled them with aplomb. Hoping they'll have the pleasure of Martin's company again, and soon!”
About: Desde que nací vivo rodeada de perros y gatos, se reconocer cuando necesitan algun cuidado especial o alguna molestia que presenten. He recojido abandonados en las calles muchos cachorros y les he cuidado hasta encontrarles un nuevo hogar. Sobre todas las cosas entiendo que cada animal tiene su caracter propio y respeto sus espacios. Actualmente trabajo de forma parcial y con horarios muy flexibles, por lo cual tengo mucho tiempo disponible para cuidar e interactuar con las mascotas, puedo garantizar un buen servicio de alojamiento, paseos, baños y mimos. Tengo un gran terreno abierto donde las mascotas pueden correr libremente sin problema alguno, no tengo otras mascotas en casa por lo que tendran todo el espacio para ellos y sin molestias.
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.

As a healthcare professional, caring for others is part of who I am. I bring that same level of responsibility and compassion to every pet I care for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important communication is when someone else is caring for a family member—furry or otherwise—so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout each visit. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking walks, and getting to know each pet's unique personality. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule.

I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating dog walks and pet care into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and communication to ensure pets receive consistent, dependable care and owners have peace of mind.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications (if needed), or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for while they'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.”

“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 🩷”
About: First off, I want to say I know how scary it is to trust someone with your beloved pet. I understand, that’s why I would love to provide your pet with the best care so you don’t have to worry about those sitters that don’t pay attention to your pet! I think every pet deserves love and therefore I barely leave them out of my sight! I’m a natural born animal lover from Kentucky, and i know that i will be the best sitter you’ll ever find! Anyone who knows me, knows that animals come before anything when it comes to me. I’ve raised many different types of cats, and dogs. Very little experience with caged animals, but i wouldn’t mind something new to experience! I work full-time as an accountant but can easily schedule in taking care of animals as they’re always top priority to me. Cats and dogs are my expertise. I currently live in a condo with a large dog park, if they’re a high energy breed I can easily bring them there to get all that energy out. I have an older dog that still loves to run around, I believe she will be perfect company because she always is calm with new animals. With cats, I have plenty of furfriends for them to play with.
About: Hello Fur Family! 🐾 With two pups of my own on a shared-custody schedule, I know firsthand the kind of care, flexibility, and understanding dogs need. I welcome all breeds and personalities and always aim to keep your furry family members safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also wanted to share a little life update with full transparency: I recently took on a hospitality job that includes a mix of office hours and occasional on-site work. Even with this new role, I am still primarily home-based and fully committed to providing the same attentive, loving care your pups are used to. And as many of you know, I am pregnant — and your dogs have been nothing short of angels. They’ve been warm, gentle, and incredibly cuddly, as if they can sense this new little life growing inside me. Their sweetness has meant the world, and I’m so grateful for the comfort they’ve given during this special time. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you and your babies, and honored to be part of their lives. My husband and I share a flexible schedule and love tag-teaming to make sure our own pups are happy and cared for. Now, we’re excited to help others by caring for their fur babies—whether you’re at work or taking a much-needed vacation! We have a fence and they are unable to leave the backyard. Inside there is a fence if I have to step out. However, I am mostly at home :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manalapan
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this doggie daycare experience. Jonathan and Giannina were absolutely incredible with my pup, Nooch. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring, attentive hands. They kept him engaged and active all day long, and I loved receiving the pictures and videos showing him having the best time playing with the other dogs. The updates gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Nooch was genuinely happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was both completely exhausted and absolutely thrilled — the perfect sign of a fun-filled day. It’s rare to find people who treat your dog like one of their own, but Jonathan and Giannina truly do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and engaging place for their active pup.
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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manalapan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,808 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 1,808 sitters in Manalapan, 89% 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.
