“Christle was the best find for us hands down,Astro was treated like family the whole time he stayed with her. In the past we had to leave him at a kennel, and every time we picked him up he wanted to bolt out the door and run. With Christle it was a completely different story. He was happy and relaxed when we came to get him, not stressed at all. We got regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which meant the world to us. Astro also celebrated events with Christle and her family, like he was one of their own. :) :) Thank you Christle, to you and your family, for taking such good care of my son!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Imam and Jennifer were absolutely amazing! They took my dog on very short notice after my original sitter had to cancel, and for a fairly long stay, which was such a huge relief. They host quite a few dogs, but they manage them so effortlessly that I swear they're dog whisperers. My dog has pretty significant anxiety, and they were always attentive and sensitive to her needs. They knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable, and by the end of her stay I honestly think this had become her favorite vacation spot! What meant the most to me was how much they paid attention to my dog's unique personality. They noticed her little quirks, habits, and preferences, and shared those observations with me. As a dog parent, that meant the world because it showed they truly saw and cared for her as an individual—not just another dog staying with them. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Imam and Jennifer again. If you're looking for sitters who genuinely understand dogs and treat them with incredible care, look no further!”

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“Amazing Experience!!! Our 3 year old Vizsla has always vacationed with us, but this time we couldn't take her with us, we found Luis and Alan on Dog Vacay and messaged them, they were quick to accommodate, their home with a very large fenced in yard was plenty for our V to run around! Their house was spacious and very clean! We received updates every day with pictures and humor which put our mind at ease! They were way above and beyond what we were hoping for! It is so great to know that we have a wonderful home to bring our fur baby to, incase we should travel again and cannot bring her! Luis and Alan couldn't have been anymore amazing! They truly love dogs!!! We are so pleased, and highly recommend them!”

“We have now had Jackie dog sit Tillie 3 times -this time being the longest stay (2weeks). Jackie was once again, an awesome caretaker - excellent communication, many photos and kept Tillie busy by taking her for walks, bringing her to parks to run around and playing in their home. Just seeing Tillie so excited to see Jackie at drop off and looking forward to playing with Sushi made us confident that Tillie was comfortable going to their home.”

“Betsabeth created such a warm and welcoming environment that I was genuinely happy to leave my dog in her care. At first, I felt a bit nervous about trusting someone I didn't know well, but once I met her, my worries eased greatly. Throughout Diego’s time with her, she kindly kept me updated with photos and shared thoughtful insights about how he was doing, which truly put my mind at ease.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience spanning decades, I provide reliable and loving pet care you can trust. I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and 15 years of experience with Bernese Mountain Dogs. I am passionate about animals and understand the patience, attention, and care they need to feel safe and happy. I am experienced in daily routines, feeding, playtime, companionship, and providing attentive, loving care while families are away. I’d love to help care for your pets—please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility in my schedule to provide dependable care. I’m available for regular visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and their family’s needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by their family. I keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are in a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and belongings with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Manchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Manchester on Rover is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $54 per night. 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 790 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.

97% 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, we recommend 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 .

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.
