About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personal experience and deep empathy for animals with special needs. I have a Persian cat with ongoing health issues, so I understand how important it is to follow care instructions closely and stay calm, patient, and gentle in all situations. I also cared for my senior dog through his final years, giving me firsthand experience with aging pets who need extra love, attention, and support. I treat every animal like my own—with compassion, respect, and a heartfelt commitment to their well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m not currently employed, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets the attention they need—whether it’s walks, medication, or just companionship. I’m happy to accommodate different needs throughout the week and can be available on short notice. I provide a calm, loving environment and tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With experience caring for a senior dog and a cat with health issues, I understand how important routine, safety, and patience are. I follow instructions carefully and always prioritize your pet’s comfort. I can outside of my home care because I have 2 pets of my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for nearly 20 years, and I’ve loved them for even longer. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and even chickens—so I’ve always known that pets come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m now a proud cat mom, and I still spend time with my beloved mini poodle, Riley, who lives with my parents (and is very much the spoiled youngest child). Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one playtime, I treat every pet like family—with care, patience, and a whole lot of love. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to send updates along the way to give you peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets animals and will care for your pet like her own—I’m your girl. Let’s connect! Right now, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s a drop-in or a stay at my home, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches—they’ll have plenty of company, care, and supervision throughout the day. I love making pet care part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to structure my day around what works best for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles—all in the comfort of their own space. I’m tidy, respectful, and always keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pet is in great hands. At my home, your pet will stay in a clean, cozy raised ranch with plenty of space to relax and a yard for fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I do have cats, but they tend to keep to themselves and usually hide when guests are around—so your pet will have their own space and won’t be bothered. I create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet can feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.

About: I used to help care for a friend/family member’s fur kids, and honestly, I miss it more than I expected. When I moved out, they haven’t needed me as much, but a little sad for me! I miss the walks, the feeding routines, and all those quiet little bonding moments. I may be new to Rover, but I see it as the perfect excuse to get back to something I really enjoy. Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt with patience, care, and a lot of affection. My top priority is making every pet feel safe and comfortable, like they’re with someone they already trust. And yes, I fully believe in extra belly rubs and a little goofy energy when needed. I’m pretty flexible right now, so I’d really appreciate some advance notice to help me plan my schedule. I’d also love to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks or park runs, bringing some goofy energy, or just relaxing together. Of course, plenty of belly rubs whenever they’re wanted. I adapt to whatever they need. I’m also happy to follow any instructions you have to keep things consistent for your fur kid.

About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.

About: I had dogs for the first 24 years of my life, and believe no time spent with animals is wasted. I've cat sit and roomed with cats in the past and now love them just as much. I've worked with various animals throughout my life, from working at a horseback riding camp, to a pet store, to an animal sanctuary. my weekends are Sunday-Monday. I work as an archivist at a museum 9-5 during the week, but I'm still happy to take evening/nighttime bookings on work days. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals I've been a pet owner most of my life, and an animal lover for all of it. I've worked with animals across multiple jobs in my life. All animals have unique personalities, so adaptation and individualized care is very important to me. My roommates and I do not have any pets currently. We keep a clean and cozy spacious apartment near Elizabeth Park.

About: I am new to the pet sitting game, but I am not new to taking care of my responsibilities well. I am a part-time live-in caregiver for my 92-year-old grandmother, and I housesit and pet-sit for my friends. My references are available upon request! I can’t wait to take care of your pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I have more availability to do pet care. I have religious obligations that I also work around. I will not accept jobs that conflict with my work schedule so that I can be there for your pets! I make sure to respect my clients’ homes as my own, and return everything to as it was given to me. The pets are lives that are entrusted to me, and God says that we must take care of our domestic animals, so I take that responsibility, seriously, and religiously.

About: As a furmama of 14 years to my sweet chocolate lab and now caring for my 3 year old German Short-haired Pointer I know how important they are to us. I have trained both of my pups to walk without pulling and at a heel. Would love to meet your furbaby and help get them some exercise while you are busy. I'm available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I work full-time so during the week my flexibility is worked around my work schedule which fluctuates. Message me to check availability. I do have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old GSP that loves to play. I have had dogs my whole life and love to play and spend time with them as long as they are friendly.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. 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 2,217 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Manchester. 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 Manchester 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Manchester 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 Manchester. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 , 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.
