“My husband and I have always relied on friends and family to watch Lola, and with our reliable help moving out of state we knew we needed to find someone we trusted. After reading all the reviews on here, we came across Rebecca and had a good feeling about her. She came for a meet and greet prior, took amazing notes, asked all the right questions and Lola loved her! She was so communicative during her time at our house, sent us great updates and photos of Lola and just such a pleasure to work with. We have already booked her for two upcoming trips and can’t wait to continue our relationship with her!!!!”
“Sarah and Jim came to our rescue when our previously booked sitter cancelled shortly before our scheduled trip. We are so grateful for their flexibility and the care that they gave to our two senior girls. We returned home to very happy and relaxed puppers! We highly recommend their services!!”
“Sarah is a FANTASTIC dog sitter! I knew when I met her that she’d be a perfect fit. She was kind and gentle with my dog, and brought a clipboard with questions which just showed how serious she was about giving the best care to my pup. During the stay I got lots of updates and cute photos and I could tell that my dog was so happy, got lots of exercise, and was very adequately snuggled ?? I will definitely book Sarah again. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tucker was wonderful with Coney and saved the day for me, last minute, when I was in a pickle. I especially love their commitment to being Covid-cautious & little updates about my finicky old beast!”
“Jaclyn is amazing! She went above and beyond to help out with a last minute request after losing our regular sitter. She took amazing care of Rory, and was really respectful of our home — everything was so clean I almost didn’t believe she stayed here! Lol She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and flexible, which made everything feel really easy and stress-free. Most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. We’ve found our new sitter!”
“Our pets and home were well taken care of with Shannon! In the past we had difficulty finding someone who actually offers house sitting, and we felt so much more comfortable on this trip knowing our pets were in good hands and never alone for too long. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country. We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. 🐾”
About: As a person whose significant other is terribly allergic to dogs it breaks my heart that I can't have one for my own. But that makes me the perfect "Doggy Auntie". The amount of friends and family that ask me to take care of their dogs while they are away is more than I can count of both hands. I love going for walks and hikes and having a dog with me is the best way to do it. I have a very set schedule but my job is very dog friendly so bringing them into the office with me is very easy, plus they get more snuggles from my coworkers. I understand that your pet is your family and they deserve to be treated as such. I want you to be able to enjoy vacation or your work day without having to worry about your family back home. I know every house hold is different so I'd rather have too much information than not enough information in regards to how you would like your pet's routine maintained.
“Claudine is simply the best! She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. Her warm energy was so appreciated and she provided us with tons of updates (and great photos). Our dog seemed very well taken care of, relaxed and happy when we returned. She was also a very good communicator, thoughtful, and left detailed notes about bathroom breaks and other behavior. We felt at ease having Claudine in our home, and will use her again in the future!”
“Joanna and her daughter took excellent care of our two dogs and our house! They kept us updated with frequent photos of our dogs, which was a nice touch. This was our first time booking on Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Joanna, we were at ease. She exceeded all of our expectations and we plan on booking her again during our next vacation. She is a top notch pet/house sitter! A+++ Thank you, Joanna!!”

Proven ability to maintain a positive and comforting environment, exercise animals regularly, and to communicate professionally with pet owners.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience spanning decades, I provide reliable and loving pet care you can trust.

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.
About: I absolutely love all animals (as you can see) of all shapes and sizes. Im okay with an energy filled afternoon, or a calm one, how ever your furry friend is feeling. I have 12 years of experience training puppies and taking care of senior animals through my own family and friends. I dont live without my phone so there’s no worries about not being able to reach me. You can call or text at anytime and I will respond almost immediately. Thanks for your consideration!

Visiting your home I will be very attentive to your pet and make sure all furniture and flooring is clean and pee free. No chewing furniture on my watch also. I have a yard and multiple dog parks nearby, as well as long walks, to keep your dog occupied. My dog gets along well with others, even cats.
About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR.

My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!

“Renee was excellent with our girl. We felt so comfortable with her from the first meet and greet. Very responsive and stayed in touch with pictures and videos each day. She was on top of everything! We will definitely have Renee back to watch Angel 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!
As always Jamie was wonderful with all of our pets and also caring for the house! She was super diligent and caring especially for our two handicapped kitties. Our house is a LOT to take care of and Jamie always accommodates all of our special needs. She’s absolutely super !
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!
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.
This was our first booking with Rover and we can't say enough about how well-cared for our dog was. Claudine's communication was exceptional. She went above and beyond to try and manage some issues our pup has been having with paw-licking. It was clear that she was thoughtful and careful about her resposibilities with Patron and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Shaylah was a lifesaver!!! My original dogsitter canceled less than 24 hours before we left for a long weekend and Shaylah answered the call to take care of the pups! She replied to my urgent plea within 5 minutes and changed her evening plans to drive to us that night to meet the dogs and get a tour if the house and all our specific needs. We have an elder dog that has to wear diapers and we make all the dog food and she needed beds as well. No problem for Shaylah!!! By the next morning we were on a plane and the dogs were so well cared for! Lots of pictures and updates which made me feel so much better, really can't say enough about her! She is a gem!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,362 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
