About: I grew up with 3 dogs and had one of my dogs pregnant twice and so I took care of her puppies until they were ready to go with a new family. I’d make sure they were given to the right family. I like to walk dogs to make sure they can be active and won’t get bored. I make sure to clean up after them and make sure they’re fed. Playing with them is the best part of having dogs. Unemployed currently, but in the process of seeking employment. So I have a good amount of free time as of now. I have taken a step back from this app for a few years. Since I have more availability I’d like to come back into this and help owners to make sure their animals have a good experience with my service. I love going on a walk, I can be your dog(s) walking buddy. I do also enjoy chilling and play some toys with dogs or the cats. I’ll match their energy. As long as everyone is comfortable and happy in the end. I have a fenced backyard and front porch with screening doors. The living room has a lot of space so the dogs or cats can chill.

About: I am a compassionate Buddha that loves to surround myself with fur babies of all shapes colors, and sizes! I have been working with dogs,felines, and birds all my life and nothing brings me more joy. I obtained a certified vet veterinarian assistance license so I can assist injured animals as well. I’ve been working, fostering, loving and caring for animals for over 20 years and I can’t wait to share my experience with your companion animal! I feel honored and appreciation for every animal that I get to help. I’m a yoga teacher and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work around dates and times and don’t travel very much. I also live alone so it makes it easier to focus on companions. I have a very compassionate heart, and I’m extremely respectful and treat the homes of others as I will treat my own, and treat the animals that I’m caring for as if they were my own as well.

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.

About: I have worked at three professional dog boarding, daycare and grooming facilities as a receptionist and kennel technician. I have several years of experience providing dog walking and overnight pet-sitting services. Caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely value, and I take the responsibility of caring for each dog entrusted to me very seriously. I understand that your dog is a beloved member of your family, and my priority is always to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while in my care. I currently work as a customer service representative at a pet resort 5 afternoons a week. I would be able to work most mornings and weekends full time. I’m also a proud owner of two small dogs, who are truly part of my family and always my priority. I bring that same level of love, attention, and care to every dog entrusted to me. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and individual needs will always be my main focus. I go beyond the basics by providing personalized attention and enriching activities designed to keep each dog happy, engaged, and comfortable throughout their stay.

About: I’ve always had unconditional love for Pets of all sorts and been around dogs since I was in second grade and cats around fourth grade so I have good experiences with taking care of both dogs and cats even both together in the same home, I helped my some of my friends train their dogs to sit, stay in one place, follow by their sides and many more so training isn’t to difficult for me. I’m currently unemployed I was employed to Publix for almost 2 years so I have a lot of free time to watch, play, walk and love your dogs without a problem I have great experience in watching other people pets, mainly friends that would have to go on vacation trips and couldn’t bring their pet so they’d leave me at their home with the dogs making sure to feed them, watch them so they don’t break anything and walk/play with them so they don’t get to bored or miss their parents/owner so I’m very trustworthy with pets

Currently, I'm a proud dog mom owner to Falcon, my playful black lab, and Master Chief, my loyal Cane Corso/Pitbull mix. With years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes and breeds, I provide a safe, reliable and loving environment for your pets.

My pets have a solid routine at home with yard play for at least 3 hours a day. Walks ony days off and surprise trips to the dog park if the weather permits. At the end of the day, we snuggle and just relax. All of these would be things I could do with any of my clients best friends to ensure they get the love and exercise they need to stay happy!

“This was my first time using Gabi, and after having so many bad experiences with pet sitters in the past, I can confidently say I’m 100% sticking with her from now on! One of my two babies normally has EXTREME anxiety whenever I’m away. She usually stops eating, starts pulling her hair out, and gets incredibly stressed. So leaving them is always something I worry about. This time was completely different. I came home and she honestly looked even better than when I left! 🥹❤️ Gabi was so caring and attentive and sent me tons of pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can genuinely tell she doesn’t just “pet sit,” she truly loves and cares about animals and makes sure they feel safe and comfortable. Finding someone I can trust with my babies is a huge deal for me, and I’m SO happy I found Gabi. I won’t be looking for another pet sitter. She’s officially my go-to from now on!🐾”

About: I have over 5 years experience as a Veterinary Assistant caring for pets professionally. Growing up I always had pets and have a strong understanding and love for animals. I had several cats and a dog of my own, so I am very familiar with the needs and care of pets. I have also worked frequently as a Nanny and pet sitter while the family was away. I have completed dog training classes at my college and puppy training with my own dog. I am currently taking classes online to finish my B.S. degree in Environmental Science, and am not working right now so I have plenty of time to care and give attention to your pet. I am physically fit and able to take dogs out for long walks and plenty of play time. When I am pet sitting I encourage both dogs and cats to get exercise and try to find ways to get them to play. I am reliable and will always show up for your pet during scheduled visits. I know how much they rely on the pet sitter while their family is away. I always make sure pets have clean water and fresh food, treats, love, attention, play time, walks and clean up messes. I look forward to caring for your pets while you are away.

About: I have a sweet loving nature with all animals. I will play if they want to play or cuddle if they want to relax. I like to stay very active and fit so I will be taking your pups on lots of long walks to stay exercised, if that is what you wish for. My availability is different every week but I will always make time to come let out your dog and make sure they are doing well, as I would hope someone would do the same for my dog. Depending on the age and energy of the dog, my style changes in how they are to be cared for, but I do NOT ever believe in keeping a dog in a cage all day.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Giuseppe. I was gone for an entire month for my 2 cats and Giuseppe came every day and spent time with them to make sure they were stimulated. He also made sure to keep me updated and sent pictures regularly! It is clear Giuseppe loves and cares for all animals and it is evident in the way my cats were loved and cared for while I was away. You should definitely book Giuseppe for your pet needs!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Manalapan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manalapan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manalapan. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
