“What a great experience ! The dogs love Gabrielle ! She was wonderful with our dogs . We were going to take them to a kennel "resort" that has concrete floors... I AM SO GLAD WE CHOSE ROVER ! AND SO GLAD WE CHOSE GABRIELLE ! Highly recommend !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both friends and family for about four years now. I have experience with both young and old, I’ve taken care of my own dog since she was a puppy and she is now almost 12. I do not currently have another job, but I am a student at York College. I have lots of free time during the day to take your babies on walks, have play dates, and sleepovers! I work well with instructions because I think it is best to keep them with the same schedules they are accustomed to. I love to keep them comfortable and give them tons of attention.
“Cynthia took terrific care of our three cats while we were on vacation. She sent frequent communications along with photos and videos so we could see our cats were in good hands. One of our cats requires medication twice per day and Cynthia handled it like a pro, even though our kitty decided to play hide and seek on a few occasions. This was the first time we've had someone outside of our family watch our cats so we were a little nervous at first, but it was a great experience!”
“Kiah has been doing a great job with our active German Shepherd! She keeps us up to date on what they do when she comes to let her out and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“Ronny was very professional and thorough when I needed him to come over and take out my 15 month old Brittany, Nova. She can definitely be hyper, but he was patient and went above and beyond what I would have expected. I will definitely contact Ronny the next time I need someone to check on Nova.”
About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
About: I don't have a ton of experience with pet-sitting, but I LOVE animals. My two cats are my life, and I always do what I can to ensure they are happy in their forever home. I've always grown up with animals in my home, so adding some more fur-rends (please laugh) temporarily is always welcome. My days are usually very open, since I just graduated high school. I'm mostly doing this as a summer gig, since I'll be off to college come August. I have a fenced yard and two cats! They are very shy around other animals/people, but are in general very friendly. The yard is huge, with a ton of space for an animal to run around and play.
“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. From untrained and accident prone puppies to mature Great Danes, I’ve walked, watched, visited, and stayed with them all! I currently walk and sit dogs/cats for a lil side hustle. Once Summer starts, I hope to keep hanging out with pets to make some extra money! I’m a very flexible person. If your dog needs to be hand fed or sleep in my bed, I have no problems! I’ll do mostly anything to make sure your dog is comfortable while you’re away!
“Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!”
“Natalie is fabulous! She took detailed notes about my cat’s care and sent several pictures each day. I had a better vacation knowing that Natalie was taking such good care of my cat.”
About: Hi, I'm Kiran! With over a decade of experience caring for my three dogs and various pets like birds and bunnies, I truly love animals. Your pets will be in great hands with me! I am currently a student at Wilmington University and am available anytime after 11 a.m. due to lacrosse practice. Also I am available for house sitting overnight Since I have pets of my own. I only offer services at client homes. But I have lots of experience and will spend time throughout the day with your pet playing with them, feeding them and giving them water.
“Lauren has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always respectful of our home and incredibly compassionate with our cats. Her communication is excellent both before and during each visit, and I truly appreciate the thoughtful notes and adorable pictures she sends. They provide peace of mind while we’re away. I always feel confident that my babies are safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care in her hands.”
“Lauren was available to come and let Ruby out on short notice. She had to wear a cone and I was stressed leaving her alone. Lauren sent me a picture and eased my stress. She’s great.”
About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner with five pets of my own, I understand just how important it is to have someone trustworthy and experienced caring for your animals. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills to every pet sitting job, ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family members are treated like part of mine while you’re away! As a dedicated teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive—qualities that naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. Having lots of free time on weekends and throughout the summer allows me to give pets the consistent attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and genuinely cared for as if they were my own. I provide loving, dependable pet care right in your home, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for while you’re away. With patience, attention, and genuine affection, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Alexa agreed to help us last minute after our original sitter had to cancel due to a personal emergency. She provided great care for our two dogs during her drop in visits. She played ball and sent several pictures of them throughout the weekend. She went above and beyond by reaching out after our duck was locked out of the chicken coop after dark, even though she was not responsible for our chickens and ducks care. We highly recommend Alexa for any pet sitting needs.
Melinda responded promptly to my last minute request and showed up on time. She listened and followed directions and was respectful to my wishes. Melinda was friendly and handled the animals with care. She was kind to the humans too. I recommend her and will use again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Manchester on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,999 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
