“What a treasure Rachel is! I just recently moved to South Windsor and unfortunately my last sitter could not make the travel, so I had to start the process of finding a new one two weeks before my trip. My cats are post-Covid pets and I work from home full time, so that is to say they are ALWAYS around me! Bc of their constant human presence I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them IIt’s not them, it’s me), so I was not totally surprised that the first two novella-length anxiety purge sitting requests I sent declined instantly lol. Rachel was undeterred though, and accepted the daunt of my manifesto. She showed up right on time for meet and greet, despite a thunder and lightning downpour! She impressed me instantly with her positive attitude and polite demeanor, and as I was walking her around the house showing her things, she recalled details from my email that I had forgotten I wrote. Incredible!! I felt at ease right away. The sit went flawlessly. She has a gift, and my two single-human-bonded girls warmed up to her right away, coming out to see her upon arrival and staying during her sit for treats and play and PLAY SHE DID! Let me assure you - she uses the time to actually entertain them instead of just “sitting.” She also went above and beyond elsewhere; going down to the basement to clean up litter-robot tossings (totally on her own volition!), brought my trash bins up to the curb, and brought in my mail for me. I had also mentioned that I have cameras in the house to keep an eye on the cats if needed, and gave her permission to unlplug them during her stay if they made her uncomfortable but she did not; which says a heck of a lot about her character. I’m so thankful she yes’d me after the two immediate no’s. She put my mind at complete ease. I didn’t even feel compelled to check on the cameras at all - in every photo she sent the girls looked happy and engaged, and her updates were concise and useful. She gave me my vacation back and I’m submitting another request as soon as I click “post.””
“Krista came exactly when we needed (on short notice too) and was awesome company for our cat! Enyo got her food on time and had a clean litterbox, plus time to play with her toys. Krista also made sure to notify us of an appliance leak and help stop it from spreading while we were away, which was very much appreciated.”
“Karinna is amazing. My cats love her. She is easy to get a hold of and cares very much about the animals and making sure they have what they need. This is the second time I have booked with her and I plan on using her for the future.”
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and truly enjoy helping others keep their pets happy, comfortable, and safe when they can’t be there. I have over 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m the person my friends and family trust and call when they need someone to care for their pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m happy to help. ❤️🐶🐱 I have plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, playtime, feeding, walks, and lots of love and attention. Your pet will have companionship and supervision while in my care, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home environment with lots of attention and supervision. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide so they feel safe, happy, and at home while in my care.
“Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.”
“Patricia, was fantastic! She took my (very, very, particular) instructions in stride and followed them perfectly. She was great with my (also very particular) cat, Misha, and even got her to play, which almost never happens with new people! She was super responsive during a very long trip and sent me the best photos anyone has ever taken of my cat as regular updates. I could not recommend her more! :)”
“Fruzsina was absolutely amazing with Ahmi! She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, was so patient while Ahmi adjusted, and genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. She paid close attention to Ahmi's behavior and kept us informed about everything. By the end of the week, Ahmi had really warmed up to her and was excited for their walks, which meant so much to us. It's clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Ahmi was in such caring hands. We would absolutely book with Fruzsina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Megan was awesome with our cat Izzie the 2 times we have used her. She sent photos every time she stopped. She gave Izzie lots of attention and love and went above and beyond with not only caring for our pet but by bringing in our mail and the packages our daughter had delivered to our house! I highly recommend her and we will definitely be reaching out to use her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! I have a tuxedo cat of my own that I rescued from the Humane Society! I will make sure your pet is given tons of love. I’m a grad student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’ll have to check my availability and class schedule, but I always need time to be away from my computer and hang with your pets! I’m very careful of respecting other peoples’ spaces and homes. I’ll make sure everything looks exactly how you left it, and your pet is taken care of!
“I would highly recommend Kira. My kitty is super shy and is typically very stressed while we are away. Kira knew exactly how to handle the situation and Sammi was not stressed at all. I will definitely be using Kira again.”
“Maryssa is awesome and so accommodating. She is great with our cat, and he loved her right away. She made us feel so comfortable to leave him in her care. After each visit, Maryssa sent plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing. I am so happy we went with her, and I will definitely book with her again!”
About: Ever since I was a child I've had a connection with pets. I understand them and they are drawn to me. I am also a Reiki master and can provide services to your pet at an additional cost. I have a fenced-in backyard and can also go for walks around the neighborhood. I currently work an 8-hour day, so any dog I sit must be housetrained and not need a potty break during that time. I love dogs and am available to care for yours during the week and on weekends. I recently lost my small dog who was 12 years old. He always slept in bed with me and was also allowed on my couch.
“Eve has checked in on my cat for me several times and always does a fantastic job! Especially, this time when the normal routine had changed due to some health changes. I feel secure leaving her to look after Grace, who always has a fun time playing with Eve!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Manchester is $25

I picked Rachel based on her excellent reviews and I was not disappointed. She stopped by before our trip for a meet and greet and so I could show her the lay of the land. She is very communicative and took very good care of my two kitties. She sent a ton of pics and a very detailed report of her first visit. I feel we are in great hands with her and will be using her as our regular kitty sitter going forward. Thank you Rachel!
Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.
Megan did a great job with our cats while we were on vacation. Between having a picky eater and one who enjoys outdoor time she managed to give my cats everything they needed to feel cared for. Great attention was paid to their needs and I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!
I always love having Elyse take care of my boys. She’s so thoughtful to make sure that their health is at the top of mind by making sure to get video and photos of anything that looks odd. As a mom of a cat with diabetes and allergies, this makes it easier to leave them. Thank you!
We are so glad we found Lisa! She is absolutely excellent—reliable, trustworthy, and professional in every way. Her communication is great, sent texts and photos and we felt comfortable and confident having her in our home taking care of our cat. It’s such a relief to be able to go away knowing everything is in great hands. Highly recommend!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .

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.
