“Rachel is so kind and caring to my crazy dog Nash! Not everyone can handle him but she does a fantastic job and leaves detailed reports of her visit! Highly recommend!”
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! 🐾
“Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.”
“Karinna took great care of our beloved kitty, even during the blizzard! We are so grateful!! I highly recommend hiring her, without any hesitation. You will be glad you did!”
About: Hello! I am a Corgi mom ready to share the love and care with your fur babies! I have spent my whole life around animals. I grew up with Chocolate Labs, and as a kid, I pet sat for the neighborhood dogs and cats while our neighbors traveled. My husband and I raised our 3 year-old corgi from a puppy, and I must say he is a well-socialized gentleman. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am looking to take on some pet visits and dog walking because I believe every animal deserves a buddy to make sure they can go out for a potty break during the day! I will treat your pet like I would my own. I will make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you are busy. I pride myself on communication and attention to detail, so no instruction will go ignored. Can't wait to meet your pet friends! I am self-employed as a running coach, so I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. I can make morning, lunchtime, afternoon, and/or evening visits to your pet on all weekdays, and some weekends. I have experience walking all dogs on leash, including large dogs, like my in-laws' Giant Schnauzer. I follow the pet parent's protocol for how I operate when caring for your pet, but always use my best judgement to ensure safety for all people, pets, and property! Note that all pet care will be provided by me only!
“Maryssa was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which made it easy to feel comfortable knowing Tyrone was in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated her communication and the care she put into making sure his needs were met. It means so much to have someone you can trust to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there yourself. I would definitely recommend Maryssa and will happily book with her again!”
“Renata was an unbelievable petsitter for our dog and cat! She got to know them so quickly, took outstanding care of them (I could see how happy they were with her in the pics and video she sent) and went above and beyond in every way possible, putting us at complete ease while we were away. I cannot recommend Renata highly enough, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have found her! We hope we never have to have anyone else care for our pets after such a great experience with Renata, she is simply THE BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, RENATA!!!”
About: 17 years experience as a dog owner. I have a beautiful 4 year old lab mix! We all love a happy healthy pet! I able to administer medications and take your pup out for potty breaks! Currently not taking pups bigger than 40lbs at this time. Saturday and Sunday’s are pretty much open with advance notice. Occasionally free MWF after 5 for a drop in. Not available Tuesdays or Thursdays usually. I am available for drop in visits in your home to ensure your pets safety. Currently not offering overnight stays. Please provide details of your pups personality so we can get to know eachother!
“Ifan is truly an exceptional dog handler, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first time we worked with him, it was clear that he brings both professionalism and genuine care to what he does. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about dog behavior, which immediately put me at ease as a pet owner. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routines, and it really shows in how comfortable and happy the dogs are around him. What stands out the most is how naturally he connects with the pups. My dog can be a bit particular when it comes to new people, but with Ifan, the bond was instant. Over time, that connection has only grown stronger—my pup gets excited every time he sees him, which says everything about the level of trust and comfort Ifan builds. It’s such a relief knowing that my dog is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and understood. Ifan is also incredibly polite, respectful, and communicative. He keeps me updated, is always punctual, and is very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’ve used his services repeatedly, and each experience has been consistently excellent. Whether it’s handling high-energy playtime, maintaining routines, or just giving the dogs attention and affection, he does it all effortlessly. Overall, Ifan goes above and beyond what you would expect from a dog sitter or handler. His dedication, kindness, and expertise make him someone you can fully trust with your pet. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog care.”
“Ali is great! She is super responsive, always on time, and very conscientious about respecting our home. She followed all of our instructions to the letter. And of course, she took amazing care of my cat and sent me pictures during every visit! Book her, you won't regret it :)”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to smaller mammals and reptiles. In addition to being a lifelong pet owner, I previously worked at a pet supply store, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and helped pet owners understand how to best meet their pets’ needs. Between my personal and professional experience, I’ve become familiar with the different personalities, behaviors, and care needs of all kinds of animals, and I’m confident in my ability to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am available Tuesday through Saturday during the mornings and afternoons, usually until 3-5pm. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets without having to rush. I’m happy to work around their usual routines and make sure they get the attention they need while you’re away! Since I’ll be caring for your pets in your home, I want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is for animals to have a familiar environment and a consistent routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m also mindful of keeping your home clean and secure, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing.
About: I have over 50 years of experience with dogs, cats and small animals. I have done dog daycare and dog walks. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furbabies! I'm currently working full time evenings, but looking to branch into the dog walking business slowly and build from there. I have evening and weekend availability. I have a large yard and easy access to beautiful walking trails. I also have a family that loves dogs as much as I do!
“I had a day trip into the city and needed someone to stop by my house to take the dogs out and be with them for a short period of time. Thankfully Joanna was able to help out and allowed me to be gone for most of the day. Nice to have someone who is responsible and can be trusted. Thanks again Joanna!”
“Mayra was excellent! She was responsive and adaptable to our schedule if there was a change that needed to take place. Both of our dogs loved hanging out with Mayra as she came for her three drop in visits. I would highly recommend Mayra to anyone!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Maria had been wonderful with our new puppy - she goes above and beyond to make sure he is well taken care of on the days that we have to work. She takes lots of pictures and is very easy to communicate with. She had even filled in on short notice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pet.
Maryssa was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which made it easy to feel comfortable knowing Tyrone was in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated her communication and the care she put into making sure his needs were met. It means so much to have someone you can trust to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there yourself. I would definitely recommend Maryssa and will happily book with her again!
Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.
Megan did a great job with our cats while we were on vacation. Between having a picky eater and one who enjoys outdoor time she managed to give my cats everything they needed to feel cared for. Great attention was paid to their needs and I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!
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 Pet Sitting in Manchester is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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 2,293 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
