“Ciara was amazing and took great care of our pups. I felt very comfortable with Ciara taking care of our dogs early one because of her experience with dogs with unique behavioral needs. Thanks Ciara!”
“Kelsey is a gem. I have 2 high maintenance greyhounds during a snow storm. I have a decent amount of instructions for their daily routine and she does a great job. The Greys love her. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies!”
“Charlotte was amazing!!! So sweet with our dog and super accommodating when we asked her to stay a bit longer! She was very communicative and sent pictures through the night. Highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.”
“It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are to have found Kate. Our Cockalier, Guinness, is a total love sponge. He’s happiest when he’s close to people and getting plenty of affection. After each of his previous boarding stays, he’d come home with an upset stomach that lasted a week or two. I always worried about how stressed he might be while we were away. About a week before our vacation, I found Kate on Rover and felt at ease with her right away. I also loved that she had a dog of her own, Rosie, and hoped Guinness would have a friend to play with and keep him company. Throughout our trip, Kate sent us photos and videos of their adventures together. We got to see Guinness strolling the boardwalk, exploring nature, and doing his absolute favorite thing: chasing water from the hose. Seeing him so happy and relaxed meant the world to us. For the first time, I could truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about how he was doing. I’ve always thought of dogs as angels on earth, and Kate treated our little boy with all the love and tenderness we could have hoped for. She’s a wonderful sitter and a genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to care for your dog like family, I can’t recommend Kate highly enough. Thank you, Kate and Rosie, for making Guinness feel right at home.”
“Donna is fantastic! We booked a drop in visit and another 5 day stay from Donna for our 2 Golden Retrievers before her first visit with Henry and Bailey was over. We feel very confident leaving our two boys with her while we are out having fun. You can feel that way too if you book Donna.”
About: I’ve basically taken care of dogs my entire life. I always ensure there’s fresh food and water available, plenty of play time, administer medication, and take them out on long walks! I’m working part time and I get to choose the hours so whatever time you need me to be there, I’ll be there. I don’t do much other than that besides volleyball and workout weekly. For the younger pups, I love their energy so I make sure to play with them if there are any toys. If not, I still can hype them and get them running around. For the older pups, who are not as active, I tend to chill with them and give plenty of pets like I did with my last older dog. If you have a fenced in area, I can take them outside, but I would much rather prefer to take long walks around the neighborhood letting them smell wherever they want and go to the bathroom. I also used to love teaching my dog new tricks if you would like that! Overall, I would just love any time I get to spend with dogs because their energy is just amazing!
About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.
“Maggie was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs. Moreover, she is the consummate professions. She was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. I will absolutely use her in the future. Thanks, Maggie, for a great job.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for four cats, including two kittens from a mother cat I rescued, rehabilitated, and had spayed. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and providing patient, attentive care. I also care for a bearded dragon, so I understand the importance of routines, habitat care, and attention to detail for pets with specific needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals and personalities. I prioritize safety, consistency, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work independently with a flexible schedule while attending school mostly online and one class Monday night, which gives me the ability to plan my days around pet care. This allows me to provide reliable check-ins, attentive visits, and consistent routines. Daily care matters to me, from scooping litter and maintaining clean feeding areas to giving my bearded dragon his supplements and proper habitat care. I make sure pets get regular playtime, calm downtime, and their own space, while staying attentive to routines and any changes in behavior.
About: What sets my pet care apart is my experience, attentiveness, and love for animals. I care for pets of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I can train puppies in basic commands and provide specialized care for seniors, including medication administration and comfort adjustments. I take the time to understand each pet’s routines and needs, tailoring my care accordingly. Regular updates and photos keep you informed, as your peace of mind is vital. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that your pet receives the best care possible. I am currently a student at Brookdale Community College, and my class schedule is very flexible year-round. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you informed of my availability. If anything changes or comes up, I will provide as much notice as possible. Caring for pets is a passion, and I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in every interaction. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm visiting yours, their well-being is always my top priority. In my house, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can feel safe and loved. I ensure that the environment is free of hazards, with secure spaces for play, rest, and relaxation. I also keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time to ensure they are always safe and secure. I follow your pet's routines to minimize stress and create a sense of familiarity. I keep their food, water, and toys organized and accessible while providing plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I'm also happy to send regular updates, including photos, so you can feel confident about your pet's care while away. I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs and preferences for all services. Whether it's a specific feeding schedule, medication, or extra cuddles.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet lover with experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets through drop-in visits, dog walks, senior pet care and overnights. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, medication reminders, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite parts of pet care is seeing the excitement on a dog’s face when I walk through the door. Building trust and creating a positive experience for every pet is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon! 🤍 I currently am working part time at my job, but I old love to spend my mornings/afternoons taking care of your pets!

They love being outdoors so we can play. I am willing to accommodate any type of service your pets need!
“Kaleah was the perfect sitter! She stayed at our home for 4.5 days with our puppy, Duke, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first M&G, she was so lovely, warm, and trustworthy, and we immediately got such good vibes from her. Throughout her stay, she was extremely responsive and communicative. She sent us pictures of Duke every morning and again in the afternoon/evening, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to stay with Duke pretty much 24/7, which was exactly what we were looking for. She also very flexible when we added that Duke would need to be given medication which we had not previously planned for. We felt 100% comfortable leaving both our puppy and our home in her care. Duke was clearly so happy and well taken care of when we got back, and everything at home was perfect. We would absolutely recommend Kaleah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and genuinely great with dogs. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“I’m glad we found Laurel. She took great care of our Gipper. Giving medication to a cat isn’t easy, but it seemed the two bonded right away and Gipper received great care. We look forward to Laurel taking care of our little ones in the future!”
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
“Folks, I can't recommend Heather more if I tried! She was phenomenally responsive, caring, and super diligent about each and every detail. I had major surgery, so working with Heather was one big area I didn't have to think twice about. The cats LOVED her. I could tell because when I came home they didn't even look at me twice. ;-)”
About: Pups have been a part of my life for 40 years, caring for them comes naturally to me. I take time to learn each dogs personality, routines sot hey feel safe and comfortable with me.

“Casey was amazing!!! I didn’t have to worry about my girls the entire time I was gone. Casey went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again in the future. We’ve used rover a few times but she is by far the best we’ve experienced. She would get more than 5 ⭐️ if we could!!! If you’re worried about leaving your dog/dogs she’s the perfect person !!!”

John was once again so good to our two pups! We were gone during the huge nor'easter to hit our area and he made sure they were well attended to even when it was a struggle to be out and about. We were so grateful knowing we didn't need to worry while we were further away! He always kept us up to date and in the know!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Manasquan walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Manasquan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manasquan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
