About: Life long dog lover, over 15 years of experience with dogs. I am very experienced with older dogs and have perfected the art of medicine administering. No matter their age, I’ll take extra special care of your baby. Dogs are a very large portion of my day. I am flexible with work so I can tend to all the dogs’ needs throughout the day. My backyard is fully fenced so the dogs can run around and do their business. I’m always out with them to make sure they’re safe.

About: I love all animals! I am very patient and engaging with dogs and cats. I believe our pets are part of the family and I just want to make your loved one feel special and happy during the time that you are away. I cared for my beagle for a long time he has since gone to the large rainbow in the sky. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my friends and family. I specialize in giving medication to cats and dogs. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, picky eaters and older dogs and cats as well. Safety is priority when it comes down to it. I would not do anything that will harm or make your pet feel uncomfortable. I would love to take care of your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I am on my going back to school journey. I am currently a student at OCC and I attended classes once a week to allow myself to work part time as a house cleaner,a care taker and of course here on Rover. I am going to school to become a nurse. Only 2 more classes until nursing school! I'm pretty flexible let me know what time works best to me and we can figure it out! I have a large backyard and a friendly adult cat he gets along well with other dogs after a meetup up. He loves people as well.

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! I live in Asbury Park, however, I’ll be dogsitting in Montclair from Dec. 25-31 so I now have my page set to Montclair to be available for holiday week dog walks. Since I was a child, I’ve taken care of dogs of every kinds, cats, turtles, fish, rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I’m open to taking care of a snake but I might need a minute to get comfortable! I grew up with a sweet bichon frise and cocker spaniel. In 2016, I started house sitting and walking dogs for clients, neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all dogs- young, old, and special needs. I have given medication to cats and dogs for medical conditions and separation anxiety, in addition to providing extra love and care. I love animals and would be glad to help you have a wonderful vacation knowing your pets are well cared for! If you have any questions, feel free to be in touch. I’m available for dog walks, pet drop-ins, and housesitting in the pet parent’s home on weekdays and weekends. I taught special education for the last ten years but will not be returning this year, so my availability has opened up. A little more about my background: I earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education with a concentration in Health Promotion and Culture and a Master of Education in Special Education. Before changing careers to teaching, I worked with veterans and at a free health clinic as the Community Health Education Coordinator. I can provide house sitting in your home and take care of your pet’s individual needs. At this time, I cannot board pets in mine. Unfortunately, my landlord won’t allow pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have done fostering of dogs since 2019. My friends, neighbours, and their friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and be with their dogs. I have stayed at dog owners place and sometimes dogs have even stayed at my place too. I’m currently working full-time in a software engineering industry but my work is fully remote and therefore the dog allows me to get up from my chair and help them have a walk while me also taking a walk break from screen and work. I’m a very clean person so you wouldn’t find things laying around in my place. I am very cautious while walking the dog and will follow the instructions that are provided.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind, from my family dog to my friend’s dogs with special behavioral needs. My family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and give medication to their dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a dance studio for children that is mainly open during the evenings, allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day for more walks and playtime. I can walk, feed, play with, and give medications to your fur baby to give them the extra love and attention they want during the day.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone whose career has been built on compassion, responsibility, and exceptional care. As a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience, I understand that every living being deserves individualized attention, patience, and a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for others is second nature to me. Throughout my nursing career, I've specialized in caring for seniors and individuals with unique medical and emotional needs. Those same skills translate seamlessly to pet care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or kitten, a senior needing extra patience, requires medication, has special needs, or simply thrives with extra love and attention, I have the experience and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been more than a job—it's a passion. In addition to nursing, I own and operate my own concierge nursing and pet care business, where trust, professionalism, and personalized service are the foundation of everything I do. I know leaving your pet behind can be stressful. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your dog or cat like a member of my own family. You'll receive dependable communication, regular updates, and the reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved from the moment they arrive. My commitment is to provide the same level of compassion, attention, and professionalism that I would want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nurse three days a week, which allows me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time on my days off to focus on pet care. On my off days, I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for by making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and any needed special care or medication. Because I’m used to working in a caregiving profession, I’m very organized and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, unhurried care so each pet gets the attention they deserve, whether that’s extra walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to their normal routine. I provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily care, and overnight stays, as well as boarding in my own home where pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and any special routines are handled with consistency and care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. In all settings, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine love. I also believe in clear communication, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Pro 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

About: I've fostered and pet-sat numerous dogs and cats over the years and have an absolute love for them. I' had a Dog who now lives with my 20 yr old son because he grew up with her and is extremely attached to her and since I no longer have a pet of my own, rover is extremely fulfilling to me in missing being around them. I am reliable, trustworthy and will love and care for your pets and your home with all my heart. I am a digital nomad and holistic healer and absolutely love what I do, all I need is good wifi which allows me to work from anywhere. I make my own schedule and so I'm able to give my attention to my other passions such as this. I took a couple of years break from Rover to travel the world and teach yoga and meditation and now I’m excited to be back! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep your little buddy feeling loved, cared for and happy!

About: Was responsible for many cats and dogs when I was growing up. Currently have a fur baby name Genevieve and she’s a calico. She is roughly two years old. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I do my best to maintain their usual schedules and make them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for pets in either my home or their own home, depending on what works best for them and their owner. I know pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m always mindful of their routines, feeding schedules, and little quirks. In a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine. If they’re staying with me, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their owner is away!

About: Hi, I’m Myranda! I have had a very healthy dog of my own for 14 years now. He is truly the best dog I could’ve asked for! I have also been a pet sitter (including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs and even turtles) for 5 years. I have cared for pets while their parents were away on trips countless times with several clients that use my services regularly. I have a very calming presence with animals. They tend to warm up to me pretty quickly so usually does not take long for us to get comfortable with each other. I am extremely patient with any issues that arise. I treat every pet with the utmost attention and care. This includes pets that may try to run away/escape from their homes, pets that attempt to eat items they should not, pets who have high anxiety levels, and much more. I am genuinely a lover of all animals and I have a very big heart so you can rest assured that I will love and care for your babies as if they were my own! I also have experience with administering medications, preparing special diet regimens, as well as caring for animals that are sick, taking them on vet visits, and caring for them after intensive surgeries. I am happy to give them a little extra love and company if need be! Whatever their needs are, I am capable and well ready to take them on. I’m a cat lover too! I have much experience taking care of litter boxes, playing and entertaining cats, and keeping them out of any trouble. I can water plants as well. Truly anything that you might need, feel free to let me know! I am currently only focused on pet sitting exclusively so my schedule is extremely open. The only hang ups are based on whether I have already booked to sit for someone else. I am an early riser so early morning care is not an issue for me. Late night dog walking is not an issue either. I am able to take dogs on frequent walks and scoop kitty litter several times a day. I can feed pets frequently as well. I am great at getting cats to eat wet food! I can mix different ingredients together or prepare food in any particular manner even if that means I need to cook it. I can administer doses of medication. I am great at remembering what needs to be taken when. I can care for animals that are extremely anxious or pets that are injured as well. I am also able to clean up after them if needed. I can play with them anytime. I am happy to cuddle or pet if they need any attention. Of course, change water for them everyday. I can take care of basic everyday grooming as well as special care and grooming needs for hairless pets. I am also very good with plants and happy to look after those as well.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mantoloking

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mantoloking is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,959 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mantoloking. 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.

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 Mantoloking 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!

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 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Mantoloking with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
