About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different temperaments. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for dependable walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect consistent communication and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family in West County! I work from home, which means I get plenty of breaks for dog walks, potty breaks, and cuddle visits throughout the day. I’m usually available mornings, midday, and early evenings on weekdays, plus weekends with a little notice. I love building routines with pets (and becoming part of their daily favorite-human rotation). I always follow your instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable. I treat your home with respect and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. On walks, I stay aware of surroundings and keep things safe and calm. I use secure leashes/harnesses and adjust the walk based on your pet’s energy and needs—whether that’s a relaxed sniff-around or a more active walk. And of course, there’s plenty of love, attention, and reassurance built in. I’m also happy to clean up after pets as needed so everything stays tidy and stress-free. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.
“Madyson felt like family the moment we met, I knew she’d take great care of my lil guy 🥰 expectations exceeded! This was my first time using the sitting service and I’ll definitely do it again thanks to her.”

About: Animals are our family members. There’s a good reason they say dog is mans best friend. Dogs are special. I have owned several dogs over the past 30 years I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I know your fur babies are precious which is why I treat them like they are my own. I have always only had good experiences with dogs. I am a sahm, so breaks to play or walk with a dog are welcome! We love being outdoors. Supervised Play keeps everyone safe and happy:) I homeschool one of my two kids so we have a pretty flexible schedule. We have a goldendoodle pup named Gracie she loves walks and chasing tennis balls and she would love some doggie friend play dates! We take several walks daily, trips to the park for a fun run or play in the yard with tennis balls and bubbles. Dogs will always be on leash to keep them close and supervised unless they are enclosed in a safe area.
“Zadee is a superhero. Like a streak of light, she arrived just in time, like Spiderman. I was unexpectedly hospitalized after a visit to the Emergency Room. I had made no preparation for Noah my cat. The hospital was going to keep me for several days. I reached out to a neighbor who did not respond. I searched the web for pet sitters. After trying several apps, I liked Rover the best. Zadee had high ratings and lots of them, so I reached out to her and an alternate on Rover. Zadee responded almost instantly and said she could come to the hospital to pick up the keys to my residence. I had be in surgery at 8am the next morning, so I made arrangements with the nurses to give Zadee the keys. Zadee picked up the keys as promised and took care of Noah the Cat beautifully with care and she took pictures everyday. It gave me such blessed peace of mind to know she would take care of Noah. I went into surgery with a clear and calm heart and mind knowing Noah would be OK. I highly recommend this superhero Zadee!!”

“Jenny was truly amazing! She stayed with our senior dog overnight and administered insulin shots. She communicates well and is very reliable. We had a great trip knowing that our dog was well cared for! I highly recommend Jenny!”
About: As a recent graduate I pride myself in working hard to provide the best care that can be. I graduated with a bachelors in Fine arts and Design studies at Depauw university, with many years of experience in the pet care industry. My dream was always to be a vet because of my love of animals and fascinating reaching beyond just cats and dogs, but life had other things in store for me. Regardless of that, pet sitting is a love of mine. Getting to meet each unique pet ( and take lots of silly photos) is the best way to spend my free time. With me you can expect photos taken and sent daily, constant communication and ensuring that your pets every needs are taken care of. I have experience in first aid, medication administration, old or young pets and all kinds of exotic pets. Im also a big fan of .5 Photos! I am currently on summer break from university, which means my availability is open through middle of august. I work a 8-4 internship job at the moment, but can make a stop in the middle of the day to let dogs out before returning. I have a large backyard with a fenced in area for my pets. I have one small pup of my own, a little pomeranian named Dane. There is plenty of room to roam and explore! In a clients home caring for the animals well being, attention as well as keeping a tidy home is most important while staying. Respecting boundaries and proper communication is a must.
About: Just reactivated my Rover account in June, 2026. I am a dog person. I have two dogs, Clover and Nova which are 70+ pound husky/ Aussie mix dogs that will play hard and sleep harder. I will give your pup tons of attention, play time, and can work on training if needed as well. I love training my dogs as well as other dogs, so if you’re looking for a trusted dog walker with training experience I’m ready to help. Look forward to meeting you and your dogs. I work long days and most evenings and looking to walk dogs on my lunch break close to my office. I love walking as I walk my dogs multiple times a day. I will always leash your dogs on walks. I am familiar with the gentle leader leash and training no-pull harness. I can handle dogs that may be aggressive and will go to the other side of the sidewalk if your dogs aren’t friendly with other dogs.
“Sara is extremely easy to work with, communicative, and reliable. She came through for my family at the last minute and did an amazing job. I highly recommend her services”

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have done fostering and cared for many pets with sitting. I am home to be able to care for your fur baby and let out for frequent potty breaks, playtime, hugs and walks. I am reliable to be here for your pet needs while you are away. Again when I have them, they get my 100% attention. I can be around to take care of all their needs. My home has availability to have more than 1 dog if they are relaxed dog friendly or I mostly do 1 dog at time. Everything is discussed upfront and happy to have any meet and greet. I will go by rules you have at home to ensure it will be same here. IE. Crate, on furniture or no furniture. What foods needs and be sure to follow that all.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15+ years! I grew up with 2 dogs and went on to be a dog mom for 2 of my own. I also supported friends with their dogs on the side and have experience with both small and larger dogs. I am very comfortable with taking care of and treating your dogs like they are my own! My schedule is open and flexible right now, allowing me to be available after 9am on weekdays and available 2 weekends each month. My schedule is open to change for house sitting needs. Safety and trust are my top priority! Your dog will always be supervised and have my full attention. I'm very attentive to your pets feeding schedules, medications, routine activities, and special care instructions. Communication is key and I ask that all your dog’s unique needs are discussed beforehand.
About: I have worked in dog care for multiple years and have gained many skills from this. I have also had a lot of exposure to different dogs and their needs! I do work at a dog kennel currently, but wanted to try something on my own but I would work this around my work schedule as I am only part time. Firstly I will always respect your space! I would love in-depth instructions to ensure no confusion. I will complete all tasks properly and meet all their needs. Their safety is most important as well as caring for them properly:)
About: My pet care experience includes tailoring physical activity to a pets age/ability level, recognizing a pets cues on their overall comfort level, and administering various forms of medication. My family would regularly take in senior dogs when I was growing up so I am used to assessing their needs. I am available mornings, evenings and around lunchtime. My work and school schedules allow for flexibility and I am happy to work with you to find times that are best suited for you and your pet. My apartment building unfortunately does not allow any type of animal so I am not able to offer boarding. I would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
About: I'm 23 years old and currently work full-time at the Humane Society of Missouri, where I care for animals of all sizes and temperaments every day. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — including reactive or high-energy pups. I’m also a proud dog mom to two wonderful German Shepherds, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or boarding, I provide the same love and care to your pets as I do to my own. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about animals, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for — whether you’re at work or away on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 10-4, but am able to come home for lunch to let the dogs out! I am available early morning and afternoon for anything! I live in a very large apartment with so much room to walk around and play! I have many green space around my apartment for walks, along with a fenced in dog park attached to my apartment!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have watched dogs of all ages and personalities and even some cats or hamsters! I love all animals! I am a very active person, so I love walking and playing with dogs as well. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the week and the weekend during the summer break. I would be happy to fit your schedule! I make sure to give the pet as much love as it receives from the owner! I love walking or playing with pets, and I would treat your home with respect and care.
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

“We hired Alex to feed and walk Joey so that my wife and I could attend an out-of-town wedding. He did exactly what we asked, and I would not hesitate to hire him again should the need arise.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and have worked with a wide variety of temperaments of dog throughout my life. I believe I have a good understanding of dog behavior because of this I am currently looking for much more stable employment, but because of this, I am free pretty much every day of the week. My schedule is widely open. I have two dogs who lived in a fenced in yard. Both are super sweet, if funny dogs who can be very needy for attention and will let me know when they need food. I have learned how dogs act throughout the years, even if the two I have are more chatty

Cleo was fantastic with Lumi! She was reliable, communicative and sent us great updates and plenty of photos after every visit. She made sure Lumi got her walks and potty breaks, had fresh water and food, and spent extra time playing with her and giving her some attention and cuddles. It gave us a lot of peace of mind being away knowing Lumi was comfortable and well cared for. Cleo clearly took the time to actually engage with her rather than just stopping by to check the boxes. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Brooklyn was great coming to check on my pups! She’s helped me with a nail trim for my crazy puppy before and she was so gentle and sweet (even when my puppy was being a little pterodactyl🤣). You can tell she’s great with animals! She sent tons of pictures and a thorough update about her check in. I would reach out to her again in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Manchester is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 2,639 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
