“Taylor was an absolute lifesaver for us! When an unexpected family emergency arose and my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital, we were stressed about our cat being home alone. Taylor was available on short notice, went all the way to the hospital to pick up the house keys from my mother-in-law, and then headed over to our house to take care of our kitty. She handled a stressful situation with so much kindness and professionalism. We truly, truly appreciate her help and will definitely be booking with her for all our future visits. Thank you for such a great job, Taylor!”
“Samantha is amazing! She took a very good care of our cat while we were traveling. She checked on her twice a day and fed her and played with her. Our cat is very happy :) and we’re happy as well. Very trustful and kind person. She’s gonna be our choice from now on! Thank you Samantha! ☘️”
“Anthony has been absolutely wonderful with our young puppy (from 10 to 14 weeks)! He has taught him to walk with manners and helped us with tricks! Our puppy absolutely adores him — we will continue to rebook! Thank you so much, Anthony!”
About: All my life ive been around animals. From dogs, to cats, to ferrets and beyond. I love learning new animals and all their personalities! Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets around my schedule. Usually I have Wednesdays and Sundays off, and im usually home by 7. When you need those late night dates nights, to when you just need a break, i can always be there to help! I am a 22 year old animal lover with a strong passion for helping people in whatever they need! I am more then willing to help clean up a little if you just need a mental break, or if the animal im sitting just needs some extra care, whether that be accompanying you to the vet, or getting them out of the house for a bit, so you can relax. Pet ownership goes both ways, and I know how important both sides health goes.
“Hana was terrific! The dogs loved her, and she loved them. She was on time every day, fed them according to our instructions, and hung out with them and played with them, which was extra. We will definitely use her again.”
“Alicia took wonderful care of my cats - she was very thoughtful and kind with them and I could tell they were loving the attention and playtime from the photos she sent. 10/10 would rebook and recommend.”
About: Dogs and cats naturally gravitate toward me. For the last six years I have had the opportunity to watch a wide variety of animals in various stages of life and states of health, including extensive experience with ailing pets. Unrivaled personalized attention. This is my full time job - I walk and sit pets and it is my job and my passion - I am fortunate to be in a situation where your pet is my number one priority. I give full service, concierge level care to all the pets I watch. I am diligent, attentive, and observant, keeping a close eye on your pet's well being and happiness at all times. Pet sitting and dog walking are my full time job, so it is the first and most important part of my day and your pets will know it! I live in a large single family home with a big yard with a run for dogs and plenty of comfy places inside for dogs and kitties too!
“Danielle is great with my 3 dogs and cat. She shows up on time and follows all instructions. I have a picky eater, a sometimes grumpy old dog and a hyper golden retriever. She is able to tend to all of their different needs and understands all their different personalities!”
“Would 💯 recommend Olivia. I just moved to the area this area this winter and don’t have many people locally who can help me take care of my dog. It has been great having her help she is super dependable and responsive.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and adore caring for them. From walks to belly rubs, I make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I am a mom of two girls and currently in nursing school and work per-diem as a nurse assistant. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide a calm and caring environment, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Owners can trust that their pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for.
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: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and just love animals. I currently have two cats of my own and plan on owning a dog once I’m out of an apartment. I’ve been pet sitting for about 3 years now since I’ve been out of college. I have experience with cats dogs and bunnies and the most I’ve handled at one time is two dogs, three cats, and a bunny for one family on their home. I can provide overnight care, or dog walking in the morning or evening. I do work full time during the week as a civil engineer but can be available on weekends or before or after work. I work full time during the week but am available morning/evenings and weekends to check in and play with your pets. I can do some overnights in your home if needed. I make sure your dogs are going out as much as they need to and fed when needed. I make sure your cats are fed at the times needed and they always have a clean litter box. I only care for pets in your home.
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!
“Jenny is a wonderful sitter. She does drop in service for my 2 dogs. She worked through some confusion on the first day responsibly. Most importantly, my dogs feel comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with boxers since I was ten, I love dogs and just pets in general. I am young and energetic so no dog is too much for me! I’m working part-time currently so I am free many weekdays and weekends, as my schedule changes so will my availability, but if there are any changes I’ll let you know ahead of time to work around it. I grew up with pets so I know how much energy they can have! I will bring them out for daily walks, and make sure they come back satisfied.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Lindsay is amazing! She is flexible with our hectic schedules. She treats our crazy puppy with love and compassion ! He looks forward to seeing her every time. Lindsay goes above and beyond and even gives us tips and tricks for training our baby. We love Lindsay!
Stephanie was fantastic! She was a great communicator, followed all of our instructions, and spent quality time socializing with our kitties every day. We loved receiving her updates after each visit and seeing all the wonderful photos she took, they gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and she even brought in packages that were delivered while we were gone. We really appreciated her care and attention to detail and highly recommend her!
Melanie was an excellent caretaker of your two cats while we were gone on vacation. She was always on time and spent time with them. She oversaw our needs that we indicated to her and felt that she was very experienced and loving towards our cats. We would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a pet caretaker.
She was awesome being able to help me out with a couple days notice. She was able to follow my instructions of feeding my cats loving on them and ironically, most importantly, keeping my plant/flowers alive while I was on vacation by watering them. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Manchester is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per visit. 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 2,020 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
