“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!”
“Samantha was amazing and got me out of a pinch last minute to step in and take care of my pups! She sent so many cute pictures too. I would love for her to stay with my babies again!”
About: My house is basically a zoo — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 😂 I’m a pet mom to a pittie, a husky, a chorkie and two elderly felines so I have plenty of experience with big dogs, little dogs, crazy energy, stubborn personalities, and cats who believe they own the house. I genuinely LOVE animals and will treat yours like one of my own. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime, nonstop cuddles, or would prefer to judge me from across the room for three days before becoming my best friend — I’m here for it. Expect lots of love, attention, and photo updates while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I work as a server/ bartender and typically my younger sister and I will tag team pet sitting and drop ins to ensure someone is always present to care for your companions! I do not have a fenced in yard but plenty of space inside and out (leashed) and access to multiple parks, walking spots and hiking areas.
About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for my neighbor’s three German Shepherds from ages 12 to 18, gaining years of hands-on experience with large breeds. In addition, I’ve looked after neighborhood dogs, cats, and fish, and I also have some experience caring for farm animals. Current scedual change, i work monday - friday 4am- 12pm sometimes finish at 3pm the latest. Very active i walk or run 2- 3 miles a day. I am athletic so if your pet is healthy I would love to go hiking or running around the local parks. If you have a gated fence i will let him out there early mornings then 30min walks later in the day.
“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”
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.
About: We have been taking care of animals our entire lives. Currently have two dogs and a cat. They eat like kings, have the best toys and go on crazy adventures. It's rare to find us outside without the dogs doing some type of activity. Animals are the best and they deserve the best care available. We can provide that! We've been on Rover for a long time and have had nothing but great experiences. Active people with healthy active lifestyle. Your pets are in great hands. The home is very pet friendly. Whether it be food, toys, pet furniture or room to run outside its all there. Very close to lakes and trails as well.
About: We've always had a strong love for dogs! Growing up in a household with dogs, sitting for friends/families dogs, and now having two dogs of our own, we feel confident that your pup will be well taken care of! Unfortunately, both of our dogs have a chronic medical condition requiring very strict food and medication administration. Therefore, we are extremely mindful of dogs who may have special needs, diet restrictions, allergies, medication administration, separation anxiety, etc. We utilize a positive reinforcement approach to training/caring for our dogs and other dogs! Working from home provides us the flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they need! They will never be left alone when boarding with us regardless if it is a weekday/weekend. We understand being away from home can be stressful and want to be there every step of the way! We can accommodate 1 dog per day/night and have a large fenced in backyard for plenty of space for your pups to run around! The fence is 6ft+ and very secure. We also have two very friendly dogs who love nothing more than to play and cuddle on the couch! We only allow dogs from the same home at one time so you can be rest assured your dog will get the attention, love, and safety they need. We will treat your pup like they are our own and understand the anxiety of being away from your furry friend!
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’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with a 20lb Cockapoo named Bentley, and have had my lovely Lady (a 4 year old husky/cur mix with lots of energy) for 3 years now. I am a formidable and patient obedience trainer and can help train up any dog on how to walk properly, come, sit, and other basic commands. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and am proactive about the safety and comfortability of the dogs I encounter. I can handle everything from gentle older doggos to young energetic pups. I am going to be leaving to join the US Army in late December, and decided that with the time I have left at home I want to be able to enjoy it. I currently work an overnight shift for the post office and would love for this to be the job that is able to support me before I leave for basic training. I love to get outside and play with my dog, I figured this would be an awesome way to spend my time, and help out some fellow dog owners along the way! I keep the safety of my animals paramount, whether that’s driving in the car or walking down the road, I am always keen and proactive when it comes to safety.
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have hands-on experience caring for them through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and relaxed with me. I’m lucky enough to do pet care full-time, so your dog or cat will be my main priority all day long. Since I don't have a typical 9-5, I can basically be a 'stay-at-home pet parent' for your furry family member. My day usually starts early with a long walk and breakfast, followed by plenty of playtime and snuggles throughout the afternoon. I’m rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I really pride myself on keeping their routine exactly like it is when you’re home. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I’m extremely respectful of your space and follow all house rules and safety protocols to the letter. Because I don’t have a fenced yard at my own place, I prefer to focus my energy on yours—ensuring doors are always locked and pets are never left unsupervised in unsecured areas. I prioritize high-quality one-on-one time, follow strict feeding and medication schedules, and love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun we’re having!
“Christine did her usual wonderful job taking care of our Bobby. She has such patience with our almost 15 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is very responsible and reliable! We so appreciate her and highly recommend her as a petsitter/housesitter.”
About: I helped train my dogs and I dog sat my old bosses three dogs while they were away for a weekend. They also had horses. I am available until August. I have some family vacations planned that I will be going away on but I can have a flexible schedule otherwise. I have two friendly dogs that get along very well with other dogs. The house is extremely clean and my dogs have endless love and walks outside.
About: I’ve absolutely loved dogs ever since I could remember. I worked at a doggy daycare taking care for 2 years and absolutely LOVE IT! I have a little pooch myself and don’t know what I would do without her. I work part-time as a night bartender, so I have a lot of time during the day to go on long walks or do anything. I enjoy working out so this would be perfect. My dog gets a lot of love and attention, I treat any dog like my own. Since working in a doggy daycare I have been taught a few tips and tricks along the way.
About: A lifelong dog lover, I finally have the freedom to do what I love most: caring for dogs and making sure they have just as much fun as I do. I have 2 dogs so once they are cared for I’m yours and I’ll will be ready to care for yours !! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups b I walk my dogs twice a day I play with them I take care of them when they are sick !! Mostly I give them lots of belly rubs & snuggles
The median cost per night for house sitting in Manchester is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
This was our first time using an in home sitter. Danielle was fantastic. She answered all our questions at our first visit. She addressed our concern with our dogs’ feeding and break schedules. She sent texts to let us know when she arrived and sent pictures. We would definitely book with her again.
Stephanie has stayed with my dogs a number of times by now, and most recently for 10 days while we were in California. Knowing she is there enables me to leave without worrying about my pups because I know she is conscientious and loving and will take excellent care of them. My dogs actually get excited when we are leaving and I tell them that Stephanie is coming. And that is a really good feeling! Our house is somewhat complicated to deal with and at least one of my dogs is a little fearful, but Stephanie handles it all with aplomb. I can't recommend her highly enough.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away! Nikera took wonderful care of our pets and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. She truly went above and beyond when an unexpected building inspection came up, stepping in and handling everything so we didn’t have to worry while we were away. We returned home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy, healthy pets! We’re so grateful for her care, flexibility, and willingness to go the extra mile. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Manchester is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $98 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,160 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
