“Victoria is AMAZING! She took care of all three of my creatures while we were gone for a few days. She is excellent with animals, even challenging ones. She is prepared and communicative. She also gave great recommendations for what was needed while we were gone. She is trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”
About: I am new to Rover specifically, but have always grown up with dogs of my own and taking care of my neighbors pets since I was a kid! I have experience pet-sitting dogs, cats, fish, and even rabbits! I have ample of free time in between classes to tend to your pet, and I will care for them as if it is my own! I am a full-time college student at the moment, but I have plenty of free time during the day for check-ins and walks! I am used to particularly playing with, feeding walking, and grooming the dog, but am open to whatever your dog needs! I am looking to make the dog feel as safe and comfortable as possible without their primary owner!
“Jennifer is incredible!! She came and helped me very last minute and my dogs absolutely loved her. She is kind and caring and played very well with the pups! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“When my planned sitter had to cancel for an emergency, Sharon was available last minute (on a holiday weekend) to step in. She was attentive to the medical and behavioral needs of both my cats, and was a flexible problem solver when necessary. Thank you so much Sharon!”
“Corey was wonderful for a last minute drop in visit. I felt very comfortable having her come into my home and caring for my fur baby. Will definitely use her again hands down.”
“Cindy was a wonderful sitter for my shy, timid cat! Even though my cat wouldn't interact or come out much, Cindy still was patient and kept trying to make her comfortable and ensure she had everything she needed. Cindy also was so kind to go above and beyond and out of her way to water my plants while I was gone. I'd absolutely recommend Cindy as a pet sitter!”
“Maddy is the absolute best. loved meeting her such a friendly outgoing person, and she was absolutely great with my senior cat spending time giving him lots of love while I was on vacation.”
About: I've been an animal lover since I was a child. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat. I work remote several days a week which make sitting at your home easy. I would love cuddling with your fur babies. I work remote several days a week making it easy to work from your home while caring for your pets. I'm available nights and weekends. I have a fenced in area for my dog to go out. I also love to cuddle my dog on the couch while watching television.
About: I have a special needs pup, so am good at giving medication and doing physical therapy exercises. I am also an outdoor enthusiast who is extremely patient, so I will take your dog out on the trail (if ok) and let them smell things as long as they want and provided it is safe to sniff! I do work a full time job, but remotely. I prefer morning, evenings, or weekends. And if I'm pet sitting, I will make sure to stick around and give your pet some attention- even during work days as I can work remotely! I follow medications and schedules. I will walk dogs I'm pet sitting a minimum of twice a day with let out in the middle of the day. I also believe attention, if the animal wants it, is important!
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child. I grew up on a farm and had to care for the family pets. I have watched a plethora of dog breeds for a night, weekend, week, or just to check in. I have experience clipping nails, bathing, and administering medications. I love pet snuggles and giving treats as well as being very active with my pet friends!! We can be flexible with pet sitting needs and am able to provide services during the day, evenings and weekends. We provide boarding, sitting, drop in visits, and walking. We do not provide housesitting overnight at this time. We have a loving energetic 4 year old black lab mix who loves friends to play with and a 12 year old daughter who loves caring for pets. We have a cozy ranch-style home with a small fenced in yard for free play. We can easily crate if needed/preferred. We prefer you provide your own dog food, but we have pedigree high protein kibble if needed. We like to give training treats for a job well done. We always use positive reinforcement with our own pets and others!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract.

About: I’ve had various pets since I was about 4 or 5 years old. Early on it was a variety of cats and then in 2003 we brought home JJ, our beloved long haired dachshund who lived for 17 long years. Throughout JJ’s life I encountered the full spectrum of pet care. Everything from the daily routine of feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime etc to more challenging health issues involving his mobility. After JJ passed in 2020, I did not have a pet of my own but tangentially helped with our friend’s cats, ferrets, rats, and birds. In 2022 we brought home my current pet, a tiny Tortishell cat named Nyx who is the sweetest creature to ever exist. I also often pet sit for our friend who has an elderly dachshund and a large cat. I work full time Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5pm but I am more than able and willing to make time before work or after work to help take care of the wonderful critters we call our pets! I also am more than happy to set time aside on the weekend as long as my schedule allows for it and I have enough notice. As of now my main goal is to take care of pets either at a client’s home or designated area that they wish (park, backyard, etc). But I am incredibly respectful of other people’s space as I would want the same from someone entering my home. I also believe strongly in respecting any animal’s boundaries, personal space, and personalities and will do everything in my power to make sure they receive the best care possible and leave the space/area as clean as it was when I arrived. The animals deserve just as much respect as the humans involved!

“Midi is a Great sitter. My cat loves her and comes running to her every time she comes to feed him. She is very responsible and makes your pet feel at home. She sends pictures and updates me every time she visits Thank you Madi!”
“Another vacation without having to worry about my cats!! Maria does such a good job looking after them: she sends detailed reports and pictures, and most importantly when I return home I can tell my cats have been well cared for. My elderly cat who needs medicine (this time by oral syringe) twice a day to help her metabolism feels like she’s kept it up/ not lost weight which puts my mind at ease. My shy cat isn’t scared and afraid she’s her normal self as Maria is a person she trusts to be in her space.”
“Samantha worked with us to find times that worked for all with the drop-in visits. This was very helpful for my dog sitter, who needed a little extra help with a high energy dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 916 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manchester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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
- 93% 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 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.
