“Brooke was great! She was on time (with treats in hand) and did a great job with walking, playing with and taking care of my golden retriever puppy so I could take a work call. Charlie was pooped and went right down for a nap after. So helpful for those that work from home!”

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I am a dog lover looking for more dogs to love on. My husband Eric and I have a very sleepy Pyrenees who we are always looking to introduce to more friends! I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house. Because I am work from home, I’m very flexible on walks, day cares, and much more! I love going to the dog parks around town and would be more than happy to take your baby there as well. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your fur baby busy. Not the athletic type? Great! We have a big couch and lots of comfy spots for them to laze around in.

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 cats and dogs for friends and family all my life. I’m always a go to call for any of my friend’s pet needs due to my reliability and consistency. I’m a lover of all pets, cats and dogs alike. All animals deserve all the same love and care! I work in the construction trades Monday through Friday with time after my work days from 3pm to 10pm. My weekend availability is a lot more flexible so I would be able to do multiple visits during my the weekend. I have immense cat care throughout my years, in visits for feedings or check ins to cleaning litter boxes. For dogs, I would be able to go for walks, go for visits and check ins, and feedings as well. I am very good with all animals alike.

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: I absolutely love all animals! I grew up having cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sat for relatives, neighbors, and family friends since my early teens. My last dog had medical needs and was dog selective so I have first hand experience with both of those kinds of needs and the needs of elderly dogs. I'm active and have a fairly flexible schedule so I can care for your pets in whatever ways best suit them. During the week my schedule is very flexible and I can often structure my schedule around your needs. I am not available most weekends but I will be sure to keep my availability up to date. I will be thorough when asking questions in preparation of caring for your beloved pets to ensure I provide the best care possible. I would want nothing less for my own pets and would treat your pets as if they were my own. I will also treat your home with the utmost respect and leave it just as I found it.

About: I have had animals and cared for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their animals both in their own homes and at my home. My family dog, who is now 16 years old, has been cared for by me several times in the past. I recently finished graduate school and am seeking out a full time job, and at the moment I have plenty of free time to spend with and care for your animal. I am flexible to make my schedule around the needs of your pet. I have nice grassed areas and large side walks near my apartment where I can walk your dog. My apartment is safe and comfortable for long term stays.

About: My dog of 18 years walked 6 miles a day through the streets of Salem. Currently looking to keep up the pace with new furry friends 🧡 I am a full time local realtor with Merry Fox. I own my days and I am looking to walk mornings, the earlier the better. Following directions from your mom and or dad is as important to me as it is to you. You know your baby better then anyone.

About: Hi! I’m Jon, a dependable, active dog lover based in Beverly. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have an 11-year-old pup named Baxter, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend. I know every dog has a different personality, pace, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Outside of dog walking, I work full-time in leadership, where reliability, communication, and responsibility are part of my everyday life. You can count on me to be on time, attentive, and to treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I’m primarily available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can also accommodate weekday requests with advance notice whenever my schedule allows. If you don’t see a time that works, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it happen! Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just enjoys companionship, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Safety is always my top priority. I’ll keep your pet secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I also believe communication is important. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: From 🦀 to 🐴 (but no seahorse experience, sorry) I adore all creatures great and small, “and your little dog too” as someone who didn’t much like to get wet once said! Experienced, sincere and trustworthy housesitter and petsitter but new to this app, I’ll add some of my favorite fur-tography inevitably but many are passed away and it makes me sad. My undivided attention, I’m doing this because I love to, not because I’m bored. It’s worthwhile to me to be of use. To the old fashioned manners born, to treat another’s home with respect and care, to leave any place indoors or out of doors in a golden-rule adjacent way.

About: I am great with all dogs. I love taking care of them and enjoy taking them for walks just to see how happy they are to be outside and exploring nature. Depending on your dogs personality, I would be happy to play with them or if they prefer to hangout more quietly I’ll cuddle up with them while I complete schoolwork or watch a movie. My family has had dogs my entire life so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Additionally, If your dog likes playing with other dogs, I have two that love to play! I would be happy to take them with me for walks, and give them new friends (and more importantly help them get rid of all that energy). My dogs don’t travel with me all the time so if your dog isn’t a fan of others I’ll make sure to leave them at home. My hope is to give your dog attention that will make them feel safe and cared for when you are not around.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs throughout my life as friends and family members have trusted me with their dogs. My own dog has some behavior issues since she is a rescue so I have skills in how to handle those types of situations. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s energetic playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to suit your pet’s personality and routine. I’m currently a student at Endicott College, so I have time throughout my day in between class to walk or check in on your dog! I do not plan on bringing your pet into my home since I am living at school; however, in my clients home I follow the owner’s instructions to maintain routines, such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I take extra precautions to ensure their home is treated with respect and kept clean and secure. Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority, and I make sure pets feel loved, safe, and happy while under my care.

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read 🐾 Multi-Hour & Constant Care BookingsPlease note that my listed drop-in rates cover standard 30 to 60-minute visits. For extended, continuous care where I am required to stay at your home for multiple consecutive hours, I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour.If you need a multi-hour booking, please message me directly before confirming so I can manually adjust the request to the correct total! This ensures your pet gets my undivided attention for the entire block of time. I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog parent who understands how important it is to know your pup is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have experience with daily walks, enrichment, feeding routines, medication, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to canine behavior and body language. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine, whether that means an energetic adventure, plenty of sniffing and enrichment, or simply some company and affection at home. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own and I’m always happy to provide plenty of updates and photos along the way! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my day. I’m available for regular weekly walks as well as occasional or last-minute visits, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s established routine. I genuinely enjoy being outside and walking, so giving pups the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need fits naturally into my day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, comfort level, and any specific needs before heading out. I pay close attention to body language and surroundings on walks and am mindful of other dogs, traffic, weather, and potential stressors. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, harnesses, gates, and any safety routines. I treat every dog with the same patience, attentiveness, and care I expect for my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Manchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Manchester is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $34 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 9,066 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:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
