“Phoebe always does an amazing job! She has even won over our shy older pup and keeps our young puppy entertained. Her great communication is always appreciated and she is definitely our go to sitter!”
About: What makes my pet sitting a little bit different is that my lab can come with me. I know how much some dogs love to have a playmate, so I thought I would bring that experience. And don’t worry I will make sure you come home to a clean house too! Of course, I understand every dog is different. Before any stay, I would want to make sure our dogs are comfortable together and bringing Koda is a positive experience. I am a loving, caring, attentive, pet owner that understands pets are family. If your dog would like a four legged friend along for the adventure, we would love to meet you both! I am available early evenings for walks, and weekends for pet sitting. I work full-time serving people with disabilities in employment. My schedule can be flexible. I am happy to take dogs to the park, for long walks, or to play in your backyard. What ever makes you most comfortable. As far as my whisker friends, you deserve plenty of playtime too!
About: I have been extremely passionate about animals since I was young. I have volunteered at the local humane society and worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs as well small animals. I was successful in fostering and rehoming an amazing dog - which I hope to do more of in the future! Right now, I am currently working as a full time veterinary technician, so I can assure your pet will be safe with me! I will treat yours like my very own 🐕🦺🐾🖤 I work full time as a vet tech at a veterinary hospital in either the morning or evening! I can be very flexible with my schedule and have no problem stopping by before and after work. if your pet has to stay at my home, I have a fenced in back yard and two very playful pups that would love to meet new friends! When going to clients homes, I am great at following feeding instructions, walking & playing with your pup!
About: I am a lover of all animals and will treat yours like my own. I was a Dog Trainer at Petsmart for 3 years. I have two dogs, two horses, and a cat of my own. We live on a farm that opens up to the woods so we love to exercise and we also love to hit the trails at Solider's Delight or the Westminster pond. All sizes and breeds are welcome. If they need special care or medication, I am also able to assist with that. If there's any other pets in the house, I am knowledgeable with most. You’re welcome to call and check in at any time, and you’ll receive text or email updates daily. I hope you will consider me in your search to find someone to care for your pet family. I work full time, but happy to help your family out with the furry, feathery, or scaling member of the family just like my own. Just like my own! I try to stay as organized as possible, so a list to go off of is preferred! I'm happy to spend time caring for your pet.
“Lora was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! She sent frequent updates and pictures and took excellent care of our home and animals. She is extremely kind! Highly recommend and we will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
About: With over 25 years of experience raising my own dogs and providing trusted house-and-pet sitting for friends and family, I offer a lifetime of dedicated care. I am a passionate advocate for the human-animal bond; my own dog is a certified therapy dog, and together we volunteer at hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, and schools. I treat every dog I watch with the same compassion and attention I give my own.

About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.
About: I have over two years of professional kennel experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. I'm skilled with puppies, seniors, medication routines, and building trust with shy or anxious animals. Every pet I meet gets the same love and attention I give my own. I'm available throughout the day for walks, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, so it feels completely natural to make time for your pets, too. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for like they're my own. I stick to your routines, keep a close eye on details, and make sure everyone feels at ease.
“Jeffrey was an outstanding sitter. We got to meet him ahead of time and also he came with great recommendations - including from a neighbor. Jeff was always responsive in communications and set us photos of Archie while we were away. Highly recommend him.”
“Bronte did a great job caring for our girl while we were away for a few days. She sent lots of pictures and it looked like Bella really enjoyed her time with Bronte. Would highly recommend.”
“I booked louis as a last minute house sit for both my Great Dane and French bulldog. We did a meet and greet and his presence with my usually very timid Great Dane was so relieving!!! My Great Dane became INSTANT friends with Louis!!! His approach with building a relationship with them was so appreciated!! He kept the house incredibly clean and provided great updates with how they were doing! Will definitely be booking again for my work trips/vacations! Thank you Louis!!”
“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
“Nicole was extra attentive to our anxious pup. She was extremely communicative with great photos and appropriate questions to make sure she got everything she needed. We will definitely book eith Nicole again. Thank you!”
About: I am an emergency nurse 2 days a week and a mom to 2 crazy girls full time. My availability on the weekends can vary because of my nursing job. I’m available early mornings and late evenings if needed, and I have Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 8-4:30 wide open! I’ve had a dog my entire life and currently have a 7 year old rescue! I absolutely love dogs and any other animals. I’m looking for another way to make money while doing something I love. I will treat all animals as if they are my own. I would love to be your helping hand in taking care of your fur babies! I cannot wait to get to know you and all of your animals. I work 2 days a week and have 2 small children but I would love to spend my free time caring for your fur babies! I have a dog of my own and love spending my time with him. I love long walks or even just dropping in to ensure your loved ones are fed and comfortable! I am very good with all types of dogs no matter the size!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Manchester is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $44 per night. 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 2,405 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Manchester walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Manchester maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
