“Once again, Allie has done an incredible job watching our pups. She took such good care of our dogs and our home while we were out of the country for 10 days. She's the absolute best sitter and is so communicative and thoughtful. And most importantly, our dogs love her! Allie went above and beyond, and we will absolutely reach out to her again. This was our second time having Allie watch the pups, and it won’t be the last!”
About: I have experience with high-drive breed puppies, elderly couch potato pups, and everything in between. I provide undivided attention and care to your animals. Whether it be a walk, a drop-in, or a visit to keep them company, I care for them like I would my own. I work full time, typically 3-11pm with flexible days off. I am completely available every day before 2pm and have flexibility in the evening hours if coordinated in advance. I am available for multiple visits a day even on days I work. What better way to spend the day than taking your pup for a walk or keeping your cat company? I'd love to! I am happy to care for your pet in their home where they're most comfortable. I work as a police officer and deeply value integrity and security. I do have an older pitbull and a shepherd puppy at home should your dog want a play date!
“HIGLY recommended! Sean was a caring, patient and very flexible with my 2 dogs. Can’t recommend more.Hell certainly be my first call on our next gateway. Thank you again Sean.”
About: I've been blessed to grow up with a pet best friend my entire life whether from dogs & cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and parakeets. My wife and I will treat your pet as it is our own! My wife works remotely from home and I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule and weekend availability. Our schedules allow for frequent walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and lots of attention. We also have a rescued 1yr old goldendoodle who is neutered and loves other dogs. Your pet will never feel alone! While safety is our top priority, your pet's happiness and care is just as important. We live in a 3-story townhouse with an unfenced yard but live across the street from a park where we take our dog on daily walks. There also a few nearby dog parks if you prefer for your dog to run off-leash. Your pet will have full range to our entire home and we will make sure they feel right at home!
“Linda was friendly and trustworthy! My dogs immediately liked her! She was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures while we were away! She made us feel at ease with leaving our two dogs while we were away. Linda took great care of our older dogs and gave them lots of love and attention (probably more then they even get from us!!) She was outstanding and we would love to have her dog sit for us again in the future!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for regular, long-term schedules as well as occasional or one-time care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾
“Shannon has been great with getting to know our chihuahua who is very resistant to new people and takes time to adjust. She has made every effort to learn his routines. Shannon is also very prompt with all the appointments. We look forward to Shannon watching our chihuahua for longer durations in the very near future.”
About: I love animals and will treat your home and pets as my own. I am available most all day to cater to their special needs. Daily reports and photos at your request! Red Cross pet first aid & CPR certified. Excellent references available. I am retired and your pets will be my primary focus. I have plenty of time to tend to any special needs and to spoil them as you see fit. My daily rates include two pets. I have reliable transportation and will stay in your home allowing maximum comfort for your pets and following their regular routine. I will walk, brush, give meds and play with them. I am happy to water plants, collect mail/packages and give access to prearranged maintenance providers.
About: What Sets Me Apart 🌟: 👣 Experienced Walker: With years of dog-walking under my belt, I adjust to suit every pup's pace. 🐶 Expert Caretaker: From puppy training to senior snuggles, I've got the skills to make your fur-baby feel right at home. 🧡 Passionate Pet Parent: As a dedicated former dog owner myself, I understand the love and attention your furry friend deserves and will treat them like my own! 🏆 Above & Beyond: I go the extra mile, committed to making your dog/cat feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My job is completely remote and I have a car so my schedule is super flexible! Even if you want me to just hang out with your pup/cat I can do that during the 9-5 hours when many are at work/school! I live in a larger apartment in Cambridge near a park! As for larger dogs, I am happy to come your way so they don't need to leave the comfort of their space and have a yard to run around!
“Carol was super responsible with dog and home. Our senior dog with mobility issues bonded with her immediately and though she was happy to see us when we got home she did sit by the door looking longingly like she wanted Carol to come back. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every animal has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, medication reminders, and keeping pet parents updated while they’re away. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on my availability, and I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling. I understand pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedules consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a responsible pet owner myself and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets appropriately, and provide regular updates. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
About: I have been a human to many dogs for the past 14 years including volunteering as a foster for three local organizations. I believe animals are a part of our family and should be treated with care and respect. I have trained puppies, cared for elderly dogs, injured dogs, and foster dogs. I have a particular skill in helping dogs get comfortable and acclimating to a new environment. I’m experienced in administering medication to pups and supporting animals who have separation anxiety. My partner and I both work from home and are available throughout the day and evening. We have two pups of our own so pet care is a part of our daily routine. I am typically up early with my puppy around 5:30AM and we begin our day with a nice morning walk. After a morning feeding, on a nice day, we sit outside and the dogs play while I work on the garden or have my morning coffee. My pups are fully integrated into my day and I divide my tasks for the day around their walk, play, and nap schedule. I seek to provide clients with what they need to ensure their comfort (the pets and their humans alike). I seek to understand your pets needs, routine, and your needs (i.e. updates, pictures, etc.) to ensure you feel secure with your pets care. I believe when I am hired to help care for your pup, we build a partnership that requires communication, understanding, and deep empathy. From caring for senior dogs to the messy puppy phase, I have had a breadth of experience in caring for pups.
“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”
About: I have had pets all my life. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have worked in a dog grooming washing salon as well as watched them! I am excited to meet all the adorable dogs!!! I currently work part time 12-5 most days and pretty flexible after most days after that. Available during The weekends when I’m off as well! I am able to do same day care to dogs and cats I am excited to walk your dogs where they are comfortable at their own home :) I am also available to walk more then one dog at a time
“Noelle was great! It’s obvious how much she loves animals and how they immediately warm up to her. Was very respectful of the house and followed directions exactly as requested. Definitely would recommend and use again.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Phoebe is an absolute pro! She is kind, considerate, and detail oriented. She clearly has a gift with animals. She stayed at my house with my two needy dogs while my husband and I were in Philly getting married. Weddings are stressful, but I TRULY didn’t stress about my pups at all, and that is the greatest wedding gift anyone could have given us! She left our house in better condition than we left it, and my dogs went outside to look for her when we came home! I really can’t thank you enough, Phoebe! :) I will absolutely book again!!
Wonderful experience for us! We have five cats and Jackie did an impeccable job effortlessly taking on our “Pride” A million thanks for enabling our family trip knowing how well taken care of everything was allowed us to enjoy our time away. If we could give her ten stars we would.
Amanda was amazing with our dog during an overnight! She was responsible, kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. She left our house very clean and took great care of our dog. She sent fun pictures and responded to my texts quickly. We’ve already booked her to dogsit again!
Cora is awesome! She was very responsive to our request for house sitting overnight while we were away. She was so wonderful with our dogs who are older. She gave them care and love and sent very thorough updates and pictures. I would recommend Cora for any pet sitting or overnight visits. Thank you Cora! The pups would love to see you again!
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth. Our dogs, Izzy and Stormie, were so well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and a spotless house. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs and our home. We highly recommend you and will definitely book with you again!
Our dogs were very comfortable with Angelisse when we introduced her to them, I could tell right away she has a way with animals. Angelisse also kept us well informed about our pups throughout our time away. Definitely reach out to her if you need a good pet sitter. She is fantastic!
Andrea did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and cat (and frog). She is a an excellent communicator and gave us daily updates with pictures. The pets were well cared for and the house was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Overall an exceptional experience and we will certainly use her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Manchester is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $89 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 November 2026, there are 1,331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Manchester 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 Manchester 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
