“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”
About: Hello! We are Brielle & Liam a twin sibling cat sitting team! Your furry friend can benefit from 2 cat sitters for the price of ONE! About Brielle: I am a rising junior college student studying Animal & Veterinary Science. In high school I was a volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid working specifically as a Purr Pal providing care & socialization for cats, speaking with prospective adoptive families who visit, and cleaning & feeding duties in the cat room. I am certified in Cat & Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross and have experience with administering medication and working with cats with anxiety. I can also provide drop-in care for for other small animals such as small rodents and reptiles. Please reach out if you are in of need care for these other animals too! I am now available for dog walking. About Liam: I am a junior college student studying illustration. I am certified in Cat & Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross. I am working with my sister to help with drop-in cat care visits. We both love our two Siberian Forest Cats who we miss terribly when we are away at college! Depending on our schedules your cats may be visited by one or both of us together. Meet & Greets will be set up with clients based on who will be providing care in your home during your requested time so if we both will be available to care for your cat while you are away you will meet both of us. We will provide a cat care info sheet at our meet and greets for you to complete which helps us to care for your feline friend while you are away. Thank you for considering us to help care for your feline friends! As you can imagine sending two kids to college is a big expense! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to offer 30 minute cat care visits to accommodate whatever time frame your cat may need for visits. Longer visits are also available. I am able to provide cat care services in a client's home provided we have had a "meet & greet" in advance of services being provided and your cat approves! I am unable to provide cat care services in my own home.
About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.
About: I am a 32-year-old living in a house in Wenham (with a large backyard!) with flexible work hours. I work from home, and I'm a writer so hours are flexible, so I can take your dog for a walk whenever you need me to. I am responsible, kind, and athletic, and would love taking your dog on a long neighborhood walk, a dog park, or another location you'd prefer. I’ve been a Rover sitter for over five years, and have watched all kinds of pups! Young or old, big or small, energetic and outgoing or shy and timid… I’ve watched (and loved) them all! Being a Rover sitter is truly one of my biggest joys. As someone who loves dogs but doesn’t have one yet myself, I will truly treat your pup like my own and make sure he or she has a fantastic time away :) I am a previous pet owner myself -- growing up I had an incredibly energetic golden retriever dog, as well as a cat who lived 15 years. I also used to volunteer at the Ipswich Animal Shelter because I love all animals! I work a 9-to-5 job from home, but my role as a writer means I have limited meetings — so I have a lot of flexibility to take your pup for walks and play with him or her throughout the day. I follow the owner’s advice when it comes to how to make the animal feel safe and comfortable in my home. I ensure I am always aware of where the pup or cat is and watch them so they don’t get themselves into harm’s way, and I follow the animal’s lead when it comes to whether they want to be picked up or pet or whether they want space to explore a bit. I work full-time from home, and as a writer I have a flexible schedule to play and walk your pet throughout the day as well as on weekends. We have a house in Wenham, and I always ensure anything potentially dangerous is off the floor before a pup comes over. I also make sure they have their own space in my house on a dog bed or blanket with toys so they feel safe and welcomed.
About: For a year I worked for a home kennel/breeder and managed approximately 13 adult dogs on each shift. Some adult dog care duties included: preparing food, walks, bathroom breaks/outdoor playtime, indoor playtime, some training exercises, and occasionally giving medications. When the dogs had their puppies I would also care for the puppies on the same shifts. Puppy care included: feeding, cleaning of the whelping boxes, potty training and outdoor playtime, sometimes cleaning up the pups themselves when they got a little messy. In addition to these tasks extra care would be given to the momma dogs. Overall I also had cleaning responsibilities such as vacuuming, mopping, dishes, and laundry. Additionally, over the past 3 years I have sat for approximately 5 families. I provide sitting services and boarding services, but generally prefer boarding as it feels better and sometimes safer to be in my own home. I have a fair amount of experience with reactive dogs (on-leash reactive and off-leash reactive) and am comfortable with dogs who have high anxiety. If there is anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to ask I work remotely from home so I am pretty much always available to dog sit/board and would be able to be with your pet 24/7 while you are away. It’s very rare that I leave pets alone while I sit as it gives me peace of mind to be with them, so at max I usually only leave for an hour or two if I have errands to run. I do not have a backyard in my home so I take dogs for walks. I live in Swampscott so it’s either a walk by the beach or, for more reactive dogs who need less people/dogs/noise/distraction it’s a walk to the park up the street where I can do some training. I’m the only person in my home so there are no other variables to consider for safety in that way. I am very responsible when it comes to pet care. I only give pets food or treats that are provided by parents to make sure they stick to their regular diet. If something comes up I’m quick to text and keep parents informed of any issues and discuss options on how to resolve issues. For example, I’ve sat a couple of dogs before who’ve had some tummy troubles and after texting with parents we decided the pet would need rice and chicken for their next couple of meals and managed those changes just fine.
“Sharon was amazing! She came over before we needed help with Fitz to meet him, and he loved her at first sight. She was communicative, quick to respond, and timely. I highly recommend!”

About: My name is Meryn DeSimone, I am 22 and recently graduated from Elon University. I've taken care of a variety of different of animals and truly love spending time with pets! I currently have a chinchilla, Frank and a leopard gecko, Sally. My parents have two dogs also, Kip and Hammy and I have grown up with having dogs and cats around so they are second nature to me.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, growing up with them as family pets and starting my own neighborhood dog walking business.

My schedule is open and flexible. I will care for pets in a caring and kind way and follow the instructions each owner provides. I follow instructions well and will care for all pets to the best of my ability.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Manchester is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Manchester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Manchester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
