“Great puppy sitter. Puppy seemed very happy and content when we came home. Followed all instructions. Our puppy actually was jumping on Karen when she was leaving and not us. Will definitely ask Karen again.”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job watching our girls for a long weekend. Both of my dogs were very relaxed and warmed up to Stephanie immediately so I knew she’d be a great match for them. She is a strong communicator and sent several detailed updates with photos every day. She also took good care of our home. Thanks Stephanie!”

“Jessica was very attentive and communicated daily. She sent pics of our babies daily and kept us updated. Prior to the stay she came and took notes and met the pets. She is very dedicated to making your pets happy.”

“Our dogs had a great time with Logan over the weekend. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a dog sitter.”

“My first trip away since adding a new, teeny, tiny puppy and I did not worry for one second as I knew Geri was spending every minute loving on my two girls. I never feel like I have to check in on how things are going as I know my babies are in the best hands, plus she sends updates and pictures regularly. She truly is the best!”

“Kathleen was amazing. Highly recommend her. Very professional and treated Charlie as if ihe was her own dog. Very knowledgeable and made sure she understood my needs and Charlie’s. She’s the best!”

About: I grew up with large dogs, my yellow Labrador, Leo, and Bull Mastiff, Dexter, as well as fish, hermit crabs and leopard geckos. I also watch my brother’s boxer/pit mix, Roxy from time to time. The last few years I have been cat and bunny sitting for several friends when they travel and in the last year or so adopted an orange cat of my own. His name is Honey Nut and he followed me home from the bus stop. I love animals and am a licensed massage therapist who can give your beloved fur babies the best pets! My schedule is pretty open currently. No formal employers at the moment, only other obligations are private massage clients when booked, and my yoga practice. I can be available to visit and care for your fur baby as attentively as they are used to. I love a list and getting familiar with each animal’s personality!
“Stephanie did a great job with our cat and dog! She gave our diabetic cat 2 shots/day and kept our lab exercised and took him to the park. Stephanie is a great communicator and left the house clean. Really grateful for her!”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and reassurance. I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routine and needs. I currently work Monday through Friday from 9–5, but I am fully available on weekends. From Saturday to Sunday, I can provide 24-hour care, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your dog I live in an apartment with designated areas for play and a clean space . My home is safe, calm, and cat-friendly. My apartment community also has an animal park, which is great for supervised outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
About: With over 24 years of animal experience, I have extensive knowledge in all animal care including puppy and senior care, as well as medication administration. My pup Riley (14 yr old) was run over back in 2017 and endured what no fur parent should ever have to experience, a long month long road to recovery. After two surgeries, I gained another level of medical care experience. He overcame all odds and is now a very able tripod. As a winemaker who splits her time between Sonoma County, CA (Summer & Fall) and Hypoluxo, FL (Winter & Spring), I have two dogs and two cats and have a deep passion for animals. I would have a zoo if I could! I offer boarding and doggie day care on my vineyard in Sonoma County and house sitting and boarding in my condo in Hypoluxo. Trust me with your pets, and they will receive the utmost care, attention, and love they deserve. Can't wait to meet your babies and treat them as my own. Please note that in CA I can only offer Boarding and Doggie Day care. In FL, I can only Board one family at a time and if you choose to have me House Sit, please note that my two small senior pups will be coming with me. Only choose house sitting if you're okay with all three of us coming to take care of your furbabies. I like to stay busy so this winter I am working for a winery/restaurant in Wellington. The shifts are usually 4-6 hours long. When not at the restaurant, I'll be decompressing with your fur babies. In California, having furbabies stay or visit us allows me to break up the mundane back-end of biz ownership and grounds me during the winemaking season. I keep all of your fur babies to your rules so they can stay on their routine and experience the least amount of stress while you are away.
“Toni is amazing! Excellent with communication and you can tell she’s an animal person right away! Kala warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us pictures and updates from the time she got to our home to when she left. Our home was left in excellent condition and every instruction followed perfectly. We will definitely use her in the future and Kala has a new best friend ☺️”

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.
“Theresa by far exceeded my expectations. She was very tentative to Scooby spent time walking him and giving him love. I left without worry and sent me plenty of updates. I will hire her again. My pup is very active and she kept him busy with love and attention. Thank you Theresa!”

“Elyse was responsive to my messages, sent me pics each day, & took time to walk both dogs that have different needs. I came home to happy and healthy dogs and a house that looked like I had left it. Will definitely try to book in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m a dog and I highly recommend my human. He’s the best. Seriously. He gives the best belly rubs, knows exactly how I like my treats, and never forgets my favorite toy. He has professional experience taking care of pups like me and not just the easy ones. He’s worked with puppies who chew everything (including his shoelaces), and senior dogs who need a little extra love, patience, and help getting around including his dog Bobby, who is 13 years old. He’s calm when I’m nervous, fun when I’m full of zoomies, and always makes sure I feel safe and loved when my people are away. I’ve seen him work his magic on other pets too, cats, dogs, you name it. They all seem to like him. (Even the grumpy cat across the street.) So if you’re looking for someone to take care of your furry family member like they’re his own, he’s your human. Trust me. I’d give him four paws up if I could. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it’s a natural part of my day to day life. I structure my schedule around making sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need, whether that’s early morning walks, mid day play sessions, or evening snuggles on the couch. I am a student, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Walks, feedings, potty breaks, medication—whatever your pet needs, I can work it into my routine without a problem. I love starting and ending my day with tail wags, purrs, and happy paws. Being around animals helps keep me happy, so pet care isn’t just something I do, it’s something I look forward to every single day. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to your home, my goal is always the same, to make them feel safe, loved, and totally comfortable. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet friendly space to relax, play, and be part of the family. I make sure they have a consistent routine with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m mindful of feeding schedules, any special instructions, and making sure your pet feels right at home. If they have a favorite bed, toy, or blanket, I always encourage bringing it along! In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible by having same walk times, same feeding routine, and all the little things that make them feel at ease. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and make sure you get regular updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a walk, I do everything I can to keep tails wagging and stress levels low (for both you and your pet!).
About: I care for them like family. I’m attentive, patient, and fully present, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and routine always come first. 🐾❤️ I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 30 years, both in Peru and here in the United States. This is my full-time calling, not a side job. Caring for animals is the work life intended. built on trust, consistency, and genuine love. Every dog is unique. I always welcome a pre-visit with new clients, where we meet together, talk through your dog’s needs, and create a personalized care plan. Dogs thrive on routine just like we do, and maintaining that consistency is key to their comfort, behavior, and happiness.
“Allie made us feel at ease while we were away, which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. Tuna and Mav had a great time and enjoyed hanging out and learning with Allie.”

“Izzy was very attentive and communicative. She was easy to get a hold of, sent pictures daily and was great with the kitties. We will book again with her and highly recommend!!!”
Manalapan pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was great with my puppy Bella. I was apprehensive about leaving Bella because she was not feeling great but knowing that Jessica had Vet tech experience helped me decide that it was going to be fine. Jessica administered her pills and within a day Bella was feeling better. I will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her highly.

I couldn’t say higher words about Karren. She is incredibly reliable, loving, caring, compassionate and committed to taking care of our dogs’ needs. We have a senior cavy who is medically challenged these days and karren went over and beyond to make little lex comfortable while we were away. She is also extremely trusting, and even dealt with a few household mishaps with a smile on her face.

Jonathan and Giannina were wonderful with Mister MacDuffin. They were attentive, communicative and it was clear that he was comfortable and happy in their care. This was my first trip away from him using Rover, and they truly put me at ease. I would gladly book with them again for in house sitting, boarding or daycare. Thank you both so much!

Manda is the best!! My kitties always have such a happy and peaceful time with her. One of them is very anxious and he is always calm and happy with her. He even packed himself into her bag last time! lol I highly recommend Manda, she is professional, clean, and dependable. You will always feel at ease when she is caring for your pets.

Jennifer did an amazing job! I came home to a very clean house and my dog and rabbit were very well taken care of. Jennifer sent me a lot of great pictures and updates. Her response rate was also on point. I will definitely use her again. A very great experience, I could tell in her picks my rabbit and our little dog were happy!

I’m very grateful to Kerri, she has taken such great care of my babies, Kira 🐶 and Gianni 🐰. She kept me updated throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets adore her — she’s so sweet, and it’s clear that she truly loves animals. Without a doubt, I will rely on her again in the future. It’s been a pleasure 🤍🙏🏻 Thank you for taking care of my most precious treasures 🥰🤍🐰🐶
