“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.”
“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.”

“Lillian communicated with us throughout the time she was watching our dog!! She sent multiple updates and it is very clear that she cared for our dog very well!! Also the house was spotless when she left which was a huge plus !! We will for sure keep her in mind for our next trip!”
“Elly has been absolutely wonderful with my pup Mumby! He is always in such a good mood when I get back after she spends time with him. Elly has been reliable, great at communication prior to and during the pet sitting. She always sends me the cutest pics! Elly is my go-to if I need someone to watch Mumby!”
“Tiffany was great! Our pets had never stayed with anyone except family and she agreed to do a meet and greet with us first to ease our minds. She took everything we said seriously and didn’t make us feel like crazy pet parents! Came back to very happy animals. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Stephanie was great with our shy Johnny!We are so happy that Stephanie took care of Johnny while we were visiting family. She did a wonderful job. He was a very happy and well cared for boy. Stephanie was able to get johnny out to play and interact.”
“This was our first time having a house sitter as well as leaving our 7 month old puppy and we were so nervous but Charlene was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and it felt great knowing someone had eyes on the house. We got lots of updates and she was always very quick to respond. We already have her booked for our next trip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
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!
Elly was awesome! Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with great pictures. While we were away, she took wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our pup. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept house, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
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!
I am so pleased with Ashley's care of Fizi! Last month his bonded littermate, Voodoo, passed away and it's been hard for all of us. He's become extra attached and doesn't do well by himself. We had this planned vacation and she provided the necessary support so we could unwind. He clearly took to her immediately, including cuddling on her. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she clearly understands and cares about our furry family members!
Lily stayed at our house for a long weekend to watch our two dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, keeping us updated and making us feel totally at ease while we were away. She was also extremely easy to work with from start to finish. When we returned home, the house was exactly the way we left it, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dogs were clearly happy and well cared for. Lily did a wonderful job and we’re very grateful for the care she provided. We would absolutely book with Lily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,251 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
