About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
âLauren was so patient and thoughtful with our dog. She went the extra mile in everything we asked. It was so reassuring to know that we left him in good hands while we were traveling.â

About: Iâve always had animals ever since I was little. I have always kind of had an eye for animals, just so much love to give and receive. No matter what happens theyâre always there for you and they donât let you down. They are great companions and I wouldnât want to be without mine. Fun walks through the park on a nice cool evening or a fun jog durning the day as long as we both get water breaks lol a fun game of fetch or just some nice warm loving cuddles watching a movie together. There is always something to do with your companion, even a cozy nap would be nice. I love them all shapes and sizes, no judgement from me. I look forward to meeting your furry friends!
âWe have developed a wonderful relationship with Beth. She loves our pets as we do. They love seeing her and she takes great photos of their shenanigans together. Trust her with their care.â

About: I grew up alongside 3 brothers, 3 dogs, 2 birds, and a lizard. Now I am a mom to two tuxedo cats that mean everything to me. I am a fourth-year medical student applying for residencies with free time and I would love to help care for your four-legged family members. I have pet-sat for friends and family throughout my life and am honest, reliable, and love long walks in the park. I am comfortable helping with the complex medical needs of your animals. I am currently finishing up medical school and have a lot of free time. My schedule varies weekly but I am reliable and a great communicator. I only have my two cats at this time sadly. I am a very safe driver and have taken many defensive driving courses when I was an EMT.
âCaeley was very nice and took wonderful care of my Maltese Maddie while I was gone out of state. She took Maddie on two walks everyday and played with him. She visited my house three times each day. Maddie enjoyed his walks with her. She enjoyed taking care of him and offered to do it again. She was very dependable and came on time. I will certainly use her again the next time I travel.â

âAmy was a life saver! This was our first time using the rover app and she made sure our Dog was very well taken care. She made sure to send us alot of pictures and kept us updated on the daily. Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.â

About: Iâve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. Iâm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they love to play or just want someone to hang out with. Iâll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while youâre away. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and Iâll treat yours like theyâre my own. I am a student at Maryville University so I can do check inâs and walks in the mornings and evenings. Iâm also flexible on Fridays and weekends and will do my best to work around your petâs routine. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. Iâll always follow your care instructions, make sure your pet has fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention. Iâll treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and send updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing while youâre away.
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.
âElizabeth was great! Responsive, professional and thoughtful, even when an unexpected challenge arose. Our cat was happy to see us come home, but we knew he had been well cared for while we were away. We absolutely recommend Elizabeth, and she will be our too choice for help in the future.â

âIâve never used Rover before so I was a bit nervous, but Katie was absolutely phenomenal. She provided great care to my two cats, who can be a bit skittish, but took to her right away and even cuddled with her. Katie provided timely updates with lots of photos. She even left my cats a goodie bag with their names on it!! I will definitely be scheduling Katie again. Highly recommend her services!â

âAlex was extraordinary in the care he gave my dog! My dog adored him and I was so grateful he was experienced how to walk him. I highly recommend Alex for the best care!â

âGabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!â

âMadison and Eric are very reliable. They took care of everything very efficiently. Unfortunately, my cats hid the entire time, which is unsurprising. If they had come out, they would have liked Madison and Eric. I would book them again.â

About: I grew up with three big dogs and loved every second of it! I am a middle school teacher looking to watch after your pets until I can afford my own! I am a teacher working a summer job from 12:30-4 most weeks until the school year! I am pretty available throughout the day to walk, feed and love your pets! I have countless years of experience in childcare and babysitting (which is helpful with pets as well). My apartment center has a wonderful dog park and I love to go on walks as well!
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 behaviorâit'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.
About: I was born into a dog loving family. I have extensive experience with puppies all the way until their passing as I have had my childhood dogs for 15-18 years. One of them sadly passed away 2 years ago and the other needs extensive care now with medications every morning and night. Potty training experience with puppies and senior dogs who need diapers. I know what it's like to take an energetic puppy on a walk to a senior dog who just needs a short walk to get some movement in their legs. I have recently started my own business but still want to pursue my other daily passion in my life as a life long dog lover. I have more dog beds and toys than I can count. Plenty of pee pads, diapers, gates, and a big yard for play time and potty breaks.
About: Trusted dog sitter with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Reliable, attentive, and passionate about providing loving, personalized care so your dog feels safe and comfortable while youâre away. I do work full time however, I am available most evenings and weekends. I have availability some days between 12 and 1 and on occasion Friday afternoons. Your dogâs safety, comfort, and routine always come first with me. You can count on consistent communication. I provide care based on the owners needs and wants.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my boys while I was out of town. She kept me updated throughout my trip and sent lots of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

âââââ The BEST Rover sitter! Emily is truly such a blessing to us, and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! â¤ď¸ She is the sweetest, most caring person, and it is so obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for Thea. She treats Thea like one of her own dogs, and that means more to me than she will ever know. Emily goes above and beyond every single time she watches Thea. She brings her special treats and bones, takes her on walks, and even puts on Paw Patrol or a movie for her to watch while Iâm away. 𼚠Itâs all the little extra things she does that show just how much she cares. Knowing Thea is not only safe but also loved, spoiled, and happy while Iâm at work gives me such peace of mind. As someone who has to be away from home for long shifts, having someone I can trust with my girl is priceless. Emily is so much more than a dog sitter to us. She is a huge blessing in our lives, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone who will love their pet like family. Thea and I absolutely adore her! đžđ

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Manchester is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $24 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 petâs 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 2,639 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 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.
While Rover doesnât 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 youâd like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
