“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!”
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 10 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently open availability for week days and weekends. So I can provide help and care for your furry family members whenever it's needed. 😊 I currently have an ESA yorkiepoo who coexists well with other animals. I love to play and cuddle and make sure any and all needs are covered. Please let me know about any specific concerns, so I can make sure I take the best possible care of your furry friend(s).
About: Hello! my name is Vanessa. I have been a dog/pet sitter for over 15 years now. I have experience with animals ranging from dogs (especially), cats, small animals, and horses. I am also a certified groomer, and have been working as a groomer for 12 years now, so I have plenty of safety training as well for handling animals. I absolutely love caring for animals and making them feel safe and comfortable, and I know how important it is to leave your animal in the care of someone you can trust. I currently live on a farm with ability to care for dogs in my home, but I do prefer doing in home overnights or daycare at the client's house, due to my own dogs and horses. I am willing to provide most services including daily care, walking (or running), overnights, etc. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs and elderly dogs as well. I understand the responsibility that I undertake when I am trusted to take care of another person's pet, and I will always do the absolute most to make sure I am providing the best care possible. Taking care of animals gives me so much joy, and I would love to be able to provide you with a great service! I own my own grooming salon, Pretty Boy Grooming, which is located in my home so I am home most of the time and since I make my own schedule, my scheduling ability is very flexible to be able to provide the best possible care! In my own home, dogs will always be on a leash when outside and separated from my own dogs unless requested by the client, making sure that any potentially hazardous objects are put away (foods, plants, etc.). In the clients home, making sure that the area is secure and following the requests and rules of the client in their home.
“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I have felt connected to animals. I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 10. When I went away to college without my dogs, I realized how necessary doggie love was to my happiness. This led me to volunteering at the local SPCA walking dogs. Now, I am back home working at a doggy daycare. Caring for animals makes me feel fulfilled and I would love to share this love with your furry friend! I currently work part-time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available both in the mornings and evenings. I care deeply for all living beings around me and believe they are all deserving of love and care. I will take your pup on walks and make sure to keep them company while their favorite people are away.
“Ryan is fantastic, and I highly recommend him. He came over for a meet in-advance, and said/did a lot to help us feel confident in hiring him. He was prompt, clearly loved our dog, played with her a lot, and took great pics (it helps that we have a gorgeous dog).”
“Laurel is a real pro! She took really amazing care of my pets while we were away for the holidays. She really went above and beyond! I can’t wait to book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.
“Alyssa took great care of our cats, Misty & Fae over the Labor Day weekend. Misty requires prescription wet food and 2 medications (opened capsule & measured liquid) added to her food. Alyssa came for a meet & greet visit during the week before the weekend so she could meet the girls, see their environment & understand their food schedule & medication dosing schedule for Misty. She came for morning & evening feedings & sent us pictures from each visit. We knew they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely call on her again! We highly recommend Alyssa!! Misty ? & Fae ? do too!”
About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
About: I've had a lot of dogs to watch! Every variety of sizes, ages, and breeds. With me, there will never be a dull time! I enjoy playing with them and taking walks with them. I adore getting a pup cup and taking them for vehicle rides! (Of course, if they are permitted to have it). I just want to make them happy because that's how happy they make me! I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home. I’ll be coming to your home, so your pup gets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m usually around during the day, and if I ever need to step out, it’s only for a couple of hours at most. On weekends, I’m fully available and can give your pet plenty of love, walks, and attention. If you have a specific schedule or needs, just let me know in advance, I’m happy to accommodate! I make sure they stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll come by as often as needed for walks, playtime, feeding, and any extra care your pet requires. I love spending time with them, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toy, or just giving them attention and cuddles. I always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for while you’re away.

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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Manchester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% 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.
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.
