“Andrea was great with our boys!! She shared photos regularly and was communicative about her timing and any questions upon arrival. We would love to have her sit for the boys again!”
“Charlene was marvelous with Ralphie. She gives so much of herself to make sure he's happy and well cared for. She kept us up to date with photos, videos, and anecdotes of Ralphie's day. She left our house in better condition than she found it!”
“Lindsay is great! My pups love her. I can go on work trips with zero worry. And return home to a house that barely looks like anyone was here! She’s flexible and accommodating and you can tell she really loves spending time with my fur babies.”
“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Cassandra was available at late notice due to a last minute cancellation by another sitter. She house sat for us for 2 nights, 3 days. She sent daily updates and sent photos 2 of the 3 days. She gave my pups lots of love and care as was evidenced by the snuggles they gave her as they quickly warmed up to her. Margo even felt comfortable sleeping with her both nights. The house was clean and in excellent condition when we returned.”
“Keirsten house sat for us while we were away for the week and made sure our 2 dogs were well taken care of. She was very good at communicating throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures. When we returned home our girls were very happy and healthy and she left the house incredibly clean. Will definitely book again.”
“We are grateful for the excellent job Olivia did taking care of our 10 month old lab. There was a clear bond between them at the end of the stay and the house looked great. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jessica T. is fantastic. Our dog Buttercup loves her and is always excited to see her. We have used Jessica a couple times while we were away on vacation. She stayed in our house with our dog and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is great with getting back to me and keeping us updated on Buttercup with photos. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
“Becky is wonderful with Buddy and he is excited when she comes over. I feel comfortable leaving him when she is there, she does a great job of sending pictures and asking questions to make sure Buddy is ok. Great job!!!”
“Leonella was such a great first experience using rover. On time within the minute of our agreed upon meet and greet, as well as the beginning of the house sitting. Kept me up to date with my dog Lilly and cared for her incredibly well. Easy to tell Leonella genuinely cares about animals and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable animal support.”

Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.
Elly is truly a gem of a person and pet whisperer! We are new parents to a rescue puppy and needed a trusted person to take care of our pup for a family event. Enter Elly who went above and beyond from the beginning. She took over our dog’s routine, played with him regularly, kept him walked and occupied, and somehow left our house cleaner than we left it leaving town! We got updates throughout each day (along with photographer-grade photos of our prince) giving us such peace of mind. We already booked Elly for the next time we are out of town… Elly is everything we were looking for in a person to take care of our puppy and we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Elly!
Stephanie was exceptional with keeping me updated with multiple pictures and texts throughout each day. We have a very vocal/shy dog that is nervous around new people, and she was amazing with her! The one reason I hate traveling besides flying, is that I do not like leaving my dog. But she made it so much less stressful, and it really helped me enjoy or west coast trip knowing she was in caring hands. We will definitely love to have her again!!
Melissa is fabulous! We have an anxious dog. She was caring and patient with him, administered medication when he needed it, kept us updated throughout our time away, and sent us plenty of pictures. Dobby was happy when we got home and not stressed out. We will definitely be having her back! Thank you Melissa!
Our first time using Rover and our dog sitter cancelled last minute (was not very fun). In a panic, Charlene was one of the first few people I reached out to since we already have a booking coming up in August with her. She is a total life saver. Not only did she accept our last minute request, she was also able to push out the dog sitting a little because of our delayed travel plans due to a family emergency. She is so sweet, accommodating, and reliable. She took amazing care of our pups and I'm sure they miss her. She kept us updated with pics and texts on the daily. She made our first experience with Rover so seamless, we cannot thank her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,238 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
