About: I’ve had pets/taken care of them for 10+ years. I currently have a Maine Coon cat at home and often care for my significant other’s two dogs. I work full time, but have nights and weekends free for when you are traveling or away from home! I have a cat whom I spoil so I know how important caring for your furry family is, even if it’s delegating that responsibility to someone else. I meet them where they are in their environment/ safe space and give them what they show me they are needing from me! As much attention as they want/may not want.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was born. I’ve worked with puppies by giving them baths and medicine. I’ve also worked in a clinic where I was in the boarding area but walked, fed, bathed, medicine and helped with the doctors. My availability is open and would love to meet more animals to get to know them more. Love waking up and going to take care of them by seeing a happy tail waging. I’m very comfortable with any animal and even after taking care of them if you don’t mind I’ll love to get to know the animal more by spending time with them.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I enjoy to be around them and have experience feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after, and loving and cuddling. I created a dog walking business when I was in the sixth grade. It slowly grew as others saw the love, care, and communication I put into caring for their pets. I want to return to my business in a new way and continue my true passion, love for all animals. I would love to pet sit for your animals whenever needed. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or special requests. I am always open to a discussion. Currently, I work full-time at Dartmouth College. I work 1130-10-pm Wednesday-Saturday and have Sunday-Tuesday off. Please reach out for confirmation on my schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can discuss if its a good fit. Can't wait to talk to you soon! Will listen and follow all of your instructions to properly care for your animals. Open to discussing terms of pet sitting. I can come over to your house or live in to care for your pets.

Jessie was an amazing cat sitter and wonderful to work with! She went above and beyond for us doing drop ins, and always gave us excellent photos and updates. Despite our last-minute holiday booking, she made time for a meet-and-greet and was so kind and attentive. She got to know each cat’s personality, and even our wary cat warmed up to her by the end of the week. I would definitely recommend her!

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!

Carol is great! My pets were all very comfortable with her and that is saying a lot for one of the dogs and one of the cats. She was prompt, sent pictures and sent an update every visit. She quickly and rightfully reached out when the pets got into something they shouldn't have and checked back to make sure they were okay. We'd definitely book her again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Manchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manchester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
