About: I have been training my own dogs since puppyhood, I have dog sat for multiple family friends (two dogs at a time), I can be very gentle with senior dogs but playful with puppies. Most importantly I am flexible in learning your commands and preferences! I am an OT student home from college and I work part time, about 3 days a week. I also frequent the gym during the week but for no longer than 2 hour periods. I am comfortable with electric fences/collars or walking around a yard with the dog on leash. Very good at following instructions on how to get pups back into crates/rooms
“Brooke did a fantastic job checking in on our 11 year old Labrador while we were away for 2 1/2 days. She kept me updated with pictures and notes and asked any questions she may have had. Highly recommend and we will hopefully rebook her again if she’s available!”
“Alex is great! She took her time with the meet and greet even though the cats were a little shy and I swear by the time we got back from vacation they were sad it was us walking through the door and not her. The updates for the multiple drop in visits included pictures which is always appreciated when you are away! Alex is respectful and reliable and we will certainly use her again for our furbaby needs. Thank you Alex!”
About: I've pet sat for friends and family over the years and im excited to expand to help other people! Feel free to reach out to schedule meet and greets beforehand. Im a work from home artist so I make my own schedule. Im available to help the 9-5ers for their peace if mind and take care of your home while you're away. Last minute bookings are ok too! Im extremely clean and punctual. I respect rules and schedules. Your pets safety and happiness is as important as my own pets. Im happy to take something off of your plate to make your day just a bit easier. Im also happy to water plants and whatever small household chores you may need done while you're gone.
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Melanie was awesome! She took very good care of my 3.5 month old puppy! She sent lots of pictures throughout her drop ins and was also extremely accommodating to my changing work schedule. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Brye is fantastic with my two cats and I love the updates and photos she sends. She spends quality time with them and gets to know their personalities. I know they are on good hands when I’m away!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies that need consistency, patience, and reinforcement of basic training and house routines. I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs who require medications, mobility assistance, or a more relaxed schedule. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns. Reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pet with dependable, compassionate care in a safe and loving environment. I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, taking a long walk, or simply providing companionship, I plan my day around each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet stays comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do everything I can to maintain their schedule while you're away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure, including refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality. Some love long walks and games of fetch, while others simply want companionship and affection. I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and comfort level. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic commands that you're already working on. For senior pets, I provide a slower pace, extra patience, medication administration if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“We needed last minute help for our fur baby and Callie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She not only cared for our dog, Carlin, she took him for awesome walks (while our cat followed ?) and sent us updates and pictures. We knew he was in good hands and will absolutely be using Callie in the future! She is beyond caring and we recommend her HIGHLY! Thanks Callie!”
“Vivian was an amazing support for my cat while I was away for 5 days. She spent quality time with her, completed all tasks, and checked in with me daily. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Ashley was a responsible and reliable sitter for our cat Monty. She was punctual to our schedule and communication was excellent. She clearly cares for the animals in her charge, and goes the extra mile to make sure they are well cared for.”

We love working with Lily! She is so communicative and takes amazing care of our pets. She lets us know if something seems a little out of the norm with them (one of our dogs had some health issues). She sends a bunch of pictures and is so thorough in her notes. Looking forward to working with her more in the future!!
Emily is fantastic with Libby and treats her like her own! She is very receptive to learning about Libby, her routine and needs, and Libby loves spending time with her. I feel 100% confident having Emily pop in for visits and take Libby on walks while I'm at work. Libby is looking forward to more visits, cuddles and walks with Emily!
Lindsay was great with both the dogs with widely varying personalities (anxious and energetic and calm and quiet) and was able to professionally deal with a problem (on my end) with the door key and lock. She communicated regularly to make sure she could get into the house to take care of my dogs as soon as possible, commicating calmly and regularly and ultimately altering her schedule to accomate the unplanned situation. I feel fortunate to have had Lindsay take care of my pups. Highly recommend.
I would use Dayna again in a heartbeat, she treats my animals like family and provides lots of pictures. She responded quickly to questions I had and really put my mind at ease while we were out of town. I can tell my fur babies had a wonderful time over the weekend, thank you so much, Dayna! We will be using you again next month!

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.

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.

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.
