“Mariia was fantastic!! We were extremely impressed by her knowledge and attentiveness to our puppy, Felix. She was so generous with her expertise on puppy care and training, and she provided very thoughtful updates alongside cute pictures throughout the day. My wife and I are so grateful to Mariia! She significantly relieved the stress of welcoming a new puppy into our home. She is respectful of our space, kind to us, and, most importantly, incredibly attentive and loving to Felix.”

About: Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who enjoys giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and special needs. I work full time, but I have great availability after 5 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care when arranged in advance. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away
“Rosanna was fantastic! She watched Sadie for a week in my home and I couldn't have felt better knowing that she was there taking care of her. Sadie took to her instantly and clearly knew that she would be in good hands! Throughout the week Rosanna was in regular communication giving updates and pictures. When Sadie wasn't eating as much and having some tummy troubles Rosanna was on top of it trying some home remedies first and then taking her to the vet to make sure that Sadie was alright. She treated Sadie like she was her own. Rosanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with Rosanna!”
“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”
“Madeline took great care of our cat. She kept us updated, played with her, and gave her lots of attention. The litter boxes and house were clean; she brought in our mail, packages, and trash can. We will definitely be calling her again!”
“Julissa took great care of Buddy! She gave him his meds on time, played fetch, and provided updates. Even stayed later to ensure his safety. We’re definitely going to book her the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and provide lots of love and attention to their pets. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering basic care routines. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m also very responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind! I work a full-time 9–5 job just 10 minutes from my apartment, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to stop by during my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, and check-ins to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. Before and after work, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, feeding, and quality time. On weekends, I have even more flexibility to dedicate extra attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, routines, and any special instructions you provide. I take precautions during walks, keep a close eye on behavior, and ensure a safe space at all times. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, responsible hands.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own

“Irina is an awesome sitter! Came over a few days before our event to meet our dog; she asked great questions, wrote down my answers and got a long great with our dog. She walked her multiple times, played with her in the our yard, and sent lots of photos. She was flexible with the end time, as we were attending an event and were not sure of when it would end. Thanks so much Irina!”
“Lauren loved our babies (senior dog and 3 yr old cat), communicated well, and offered us much peace of mind during our weeklong time away. She was also flexible and supportive when our return flight was delayed. Thank you so much for your services, Lauren!!”
“Justin was absolutely the best. He sent so many pictures told me what they were doing (my pup beau) even moved my flowers out of the sun as it was so hot he said they were dying stripped the bed and washed the sheets before he left. House was neat and most of all Beau looked great. Thank you Justin”
About: I have been dog sitting, specifically house sitting for close friends and family for the past three years. I am experienced in giving/administering medication to both cats and dogs. I have a 2 year old miniature dachshund who I’ve trained how to roll over, play dead, and many others. I currently work from home as a full time Project Manager. I have plenty of breaks between meetings, before and after work. My hours are 9-5pm with an hour lunch break between 12-2pm. I typically try to stick to the pets normal schedule in regards to walking, feeding, playing, etc. I love playing with pets and giving them plenty of love!
About: I promise that my goal first and foremost is the health and care of your pet. I love all animals and grew up with both cats and dogs! Currently I have a 4 year old cat named Suki. She loves to play and nap together. I am extremely responsible and will give your pet all the care he/she needs and send you photo updates (it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m pet sitting). I’ll treat your pet as though they were my own. I'm looking forward to working with you! I am currently a student at Rutgers Physician Associate Program. Some days I’m in school from 9am-4pm but we also have virtual days and days off for studying for exams. I’m an early riser so you can rely on me to take care of your pet bright and early and then head back to them in the afternoon for more play time and exercise. My weekends are always free so pet care on the weekends fits perfectly into my routine. I have a guest bedroom available to keep your fur baby comfortable in one section of the house or they can also use the entire house if they feel comfortable in their environment! I do have my pet cat Suki who lives with me but she does very well with dogs and we can keep her separate from other cats to introduce them slowly or just keep them separate the entire time they’re here. I’d be happy to sleep in the guest bedroom with your pet as well.
“Gina was great! My husband and I went away for the weekend and Gina came over multiple times per day to walk, feed and play with our dogs. Gina sent pictures regularly and stayed in contact often. Gina is so sweet and caring. We will definitely book with Gina again.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 6 years of experience working with dogs of all kinds. I also have a strong background in training, so your pup will not only be well cared for but also get some positive reinforcement along the way. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently studying and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stay consistent with their schedules, and care for multiple animals while making sure each one gets the time and care they need. I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced pet pen to give your pets the freedom in a controlled environment. I also provide home cook pet meals as well!
“Kim is a lifesaver. She watched our dog while we were out of state for a couple nights- providing plenty of updates and pictures. However, when our flight home was canceled, Kim was willing to stay an extra two nights. Much appreciated!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Manville is $60

Abby was absolutely amazing during her stay with our pets. She followed our instructions, was loving and engaging with them and sent pictures daily. She also anticipated needs, which was very helpful. She was trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. We have already booked her again for regular walks

The average cost of House Sitting in Manville is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 per night. 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.

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 Manville 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 Manville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Manville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
