“Bennett was fantastic! He was professional, communicative and truly looked after our lil pup. Having him taking care of our pet helped us have a great vacation. We will definitely work with Bennett in the future and he made a forever furry friend!”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“Jeremy did such a wonderful job caring for Bruce and our home for a week! He was very communicative and sent photos and updates during the stay. We would highly recommend Jeremy and will definitely book with him when we need a Rover again in the future!”
“Amy was able to step in super last minute when our previous sitter had to leave for an emergency. She was amazing! Super communicative and did such a great job caring for our dog. Would absolutely book her every time.”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
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.
About: I have a perfect record that includes over 100 five-star reviews on another platform and am taking my skills and experience to this one. I've always had dogs and always connected with animals and friends and family have recognized that affinity and felt comfortable and trusting their fur babies to my care over the years. I've worked with shy dogs, anxious dogs, aging dogs, dogs with high medical needs, puppies, power breed dogs, tiny dogs, and pretty much any other kind you can imagine. I'm looking forward to giving your pet the same high level of care! I have a flexible schedule that I control, so I have a lot of availability to help you care for your pets. I don't even mind the early morning or late evening walks! I have many regular clients, and they tend to pick me when they need someone reliable (to care for their pets when they're away, to show up on time for a 6am walk before an important procedure, to care for a dog who needs extra patience or care for medical needs, etc.). I was a store assistant manager for 15 years, so I know how to keep calm in emergency situations and understand the responsibility of having people who are relying on me. I also have a musical background, so I'll probably end up singing to your animals like a Disney princess at some point.
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
“I could tell Alex and Cristina played with Sully a lot. I think Sully was tired when I got home! I appreciate the affection they showed Sully while I was there. My house was undisturbed. Thank you so much!”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“Great sitter. Rosemary sent photos and communicated frequently. Most importantly, she seemed to truly enjoy working with Sydney. Our dog can be a little difficult sometimes and we often come back to a dehydrated, depressed pup. She seemed to be in great spirits and that’s a credit to Rosemary. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was a child, caring for a wide variety of breeds—from Toy Poodles to Golden Doodles. Dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities have a special place in my heart. I currently have a 10-year-old Havaton named Winnie, who’s been my loyal companion for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who treats your dog like family. Over the years, I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and cared for dogs with unique needs—from anxious pups to high-energy breeds and sweet seniors. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, play breaks, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to match their individual personality and routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now! I recently graduated this past May and am currently focusing on finding the right post-grad job. While I navigate this next chapter, I’m using pet sitting and dog walking to stay active, earn some extra income, and spend time doing something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much joy and peace. Plus, I enjoy getting outside, going for walks, and being present with animals—it’s the perfect balance while I focus on my career goals. I’m flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. In your home, I aim to make your pet feel secure while you’re away by sticking closely to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and preferred activities—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be part of a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I have two cats and one dog who are all friendly and used to being around other animals, so I always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free. No matter the setting, I show up with patience, kindness, and the goal of making your pet feel like I’m a trusted friend, not just a sitter.
About: Fully fenced yard, for energetic pups. As well as morning runs if the pup enjoys it! I have grow up with dogs, and love to take care of them. I work from home so I will be around at all times ! I work from home so my attention is on the dogs all day. I do daily walks, and am around to socialize and meet the dogs needs. I offer a safe environment for your pets, with very friendly dogs that will make yours feel at home. I send plenty of videos and photos to help ease your mind !
“Lauren was so great with our stubborn bull dog. She is excellent with communication and provided regular updates while we were gone which was so helpful. We knew our pup was in great hands with her. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Very communicative! Let me know when there was a problem with one of my girls! Sent cute pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving for a long holiday weekend with Mary taking care of my babies!”
“Madeline was amazing!! I couldn’t have recommended someone better to watch our guys, she’s a great communicator and sends pictures very regularly. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and nervous around strangers and she handled him wonderfully, would highly recommend Madeline!!”

One of the best Dog Sitter I have ever had, willing to work with us in every capacity, and very, very, very good with elderly dogs. They absolutely adored him and took to him instantly I would recommend this gentleman to anyone that comes across my path 100%.
Daniel watched our two babies while we're in Europe. She sent pictures frequently and updated us on how they were doing. The neighbors loved her and were amazed at how well she bonded with Joey and Molly. We give her a 5 star rating and would recommend her to anyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Manchester is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
