“Andrea was wonderful with our senior dog! I was so nervous about leaving him for more than a few days but it was obvious from her correspondence with us as well as pics and videos that he settled in and was happy and comfortable. I think he would have very happily stayed longer with Andrea and her sweet dog🐾.”

“Rebecca is the best! Our Goldendoodle lived with Rebecca and her sweet family for a week. We were able to enjoy our time away even more knowing our beloved pup was SO cared for. The set up is ideal. A safe, home environment with a protected outside area with a lot of room to sprawl. She chooses her clientele carefully which leads to a peaceful doggie “vacation.” I would recommend Rebecca without hesitation! She works so hard to meet the needs of all of her furry houseguests!! She’s a gem. Thankful we found her.”

“Lucky is usually a pretty anxious dog and when I would pick him up from a boarding center he would be VERY relieved and excited to see me. When I picked him up from Mayra's, he was happy to see me but not anxious. Because of this, I know he got plenty of love and attention during his stay.”

“We asked Kristen to sit our dog Louie at her house for a weekend. She was just great with him--and we could see that from when we first met her. Our dog is a rescue so he can be a bit shy at first, but he warmed up immediately to Kristen. She is trustworthy, friendly, responsive and kind. 10/10 would book with Kristen again!”

“★★★★★ Highly Recommended! Our dog Reba had a wonderful time with Kristin and Jay. Reba has some vision challenges, so finding caregivers who are patient, attentive, and understanding is extremely important to us. Kristin and Jay went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, safe, and loved. From the moment we met them, we knew Reba was in great hands. They provided a calm, caring environment and treated her like part of the family. It was obvious that they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reba was receiving excellent care. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would not hesitate to use Kristin and Jay again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Reba! 🐾❤️”

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Manchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Manchester is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $54 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.

As of October 2026, there are 783 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Manchester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Manchester home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Manchester.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Manchester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
