“Andrea was able to watch our dogs very last minute before Labor Day. Very seamless. Great communication and dogs enjoyed her around. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”
“Grey is amazing with my dogs and taking care of my house. This is the third time she has dog sat for me and my dogs love her as much as I do. 10 out of 10, would recommend. Thank you so much!”
“Tony took such good care of our baby! He sent photos and updates. He was super communicative about their walks, feeding times, and made us feel like Reba was fully taken good care of! Thanks Tony!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”

About: Hello! I’m a New Hampshire native who loves spending time with dogs and am looking forward to providing some extra pup companionship! 🐾 I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs, as well as walking, administering medications, and overnight stays. I’m very active and live near a great trail, so I’d love to take your pup for a walk, run, or adventure! But if relaxing is more your dog’s speed, I’m also an expert in lounging and sunbathing. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends, including daytime, evening, and overnight care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, safe, and right at home while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, evening care, and overnight stays, with weekends available on request. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule whenever possible. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and there are no other pets in my home, so your pup can have my full attention. For car rides, I have a hammock-style seat cover and a dog seat belt to help keep your pet secure and comfortable. I am happy to follow your preferred method of car safety for your dog. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: For all of my life I have had animals. They bring sheer happiness to my soul. We currently have 3 seniors - 14 yo cat since a kitten, an 11yo small dog adopted in 2025 and a 10 yo dog we rescued when he was 4 months old. I understand how important it is when going away to know your furry friends are in good hands, safe and cared for. Those things make the experience of being away so much more relaxing. That is what I am here for, to help you relax and not worry that your pets are being stressed. Getting to know the unspoken needs and nuances of animals in my care is a main priority. Each of them has their own personality which, when recognized, makes the time together positive experience for all involved. I do work a full-time mainly remote job that offers flexibility to support the needs of animals in my care. While in my care, I am attentive to their needs keeping them on any type of schedule for continuity of care. My yard is partially fenced allowing me to offer a tethered sense of freedom for your dog. Cuddles, love and walks are absolutely on the menu.
About: Working professionally with animals at a chain pet store, I oversaw operations having to do with the care of dogs of all ages. I prioritize keeping your dog healthy and happy- through walks, runs, playing with them and allowing their energy out, as well as being there for them through all the support they need. I offer part-time pet care services in your home Monday through Friday 4pm and later, overnight care when needed, and am available all hours Saturday and Sunday. I only provide care in my clients home, considering I have 2 cats of my own at home, and prioritize an environment that caters to the animals healthy and safety. They are there more than us!
About: I have been dog sitting for friends for the 5 years. I no longer have my dog so I enjoy watching others. I work remotely so I can stay in your home if that is what is required I work from home, my schedule is Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 4:30 pm. I have breaks and lunch, so I would be available with them all day I would be able to work from your home, so I would be able to take them out or let them out whenever needed. Feed them at their scheduled time.
“Olivia did great with my pups! She sent updates and pictures while we were away to let us know how they were doing! Both of our pups are older and Olivia was also able to give them the medications they needed.”
“Sarah took great care of our pup for a long weekend. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of. We got a lot of updates and pics and easy communication. Our apartment was cleaned up and everything was very tidy when we returned. We will absolutely have Sarah back in the future as needed”
“This is the second time we have had Keirsten dog sit for us. We were able to book with her on short notice and she left our home in great condition. Better than she found it. Our dog was calm and happy to see us as if we had just returned from a short errand.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Manchester is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Andrea was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our three dogs for three nights / four full days, and it was clear from the start how patient and loving she was with our boys. Two of our dogs are older and require frequent potty breaks and medication, and Andrea handled all their needs with so much care. She was especially loving and attentive to one of our older boys, who was having a really difficult time with us being away. Andrea stayed in close communication throughout our trip, sending regular updates, pictures, and videos. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable, happy, and having a blast playing with her! We returned to a house that was clean and exactly as we had left it. She even washed the linens and towels and started the dishwasher before she left - an unexpected and incredibly thoughtful surprise after a long day filled with travel delays and a late arrival home. We don’t go away often, but the next time we do, I would ask Andrea to stay with our boys again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her!
Stephanie is GREAT! My dogs love her and she is so competant yet easy-going and flexible. She has great instincts with the pups and I can tell she returns their affection. At the end of our trip returning from California our flight was delayed and I was stressing about the dogs -- originally the flight was supposed to land at 9:00 but it had a 4 hour delay. Stephanie offered to stay until we wer home, which would have been 2:00 am, and eased my mind by offering to stay another night if it was delayed further. In the end I asked her to stay until 11:00 and let them out one more timebefore she left, which she did completely graciously. She even thought to give Molly her bedtime medicine before she left and let me know that. Can't recommend Stephanie highly enough, even though I'd like to keep her just for us.
This is our second booking with Elly and again, couldn’t be happier with trusting her with our dog! He had a great time— we got great updates and pics of him. Elly was so communicative and even helped troubleshoot a faulty water sensor that wouldn’t stop going off. Can’t recommend Elly enough— thank you for your awesome care of Pip, we appreciate you endlessly!!!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manchester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,191 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.
