“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“I love the fact that Maria takes care of small dogs only. My little Layla loves coming to her house! In fact, after staying there just one time, she pulled her leash towards the house the moment she saw it again. Maria’s house is spotless and she takes wonderful care of her guests. I highly recommend her to anyone with a small dog.”
“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“This was my first time working with Zo and I appreciate how responsive and communicative he is! He has a calming presence which is super important for my dog Duke. Even though Duke had to wear a cone on his first day, Zo was very accommodating and asked for as much instructions and details as possible. I also appreciate that he has experience caring for dogs with IVDD which means I did not have to over-explain how to handle my dog (which is something I often have to go through, and while it’s not expected of every Rover sitter to have knowledge of this, it was nice to see Zo have familiarity with this condition!) I’d undoubtedly recommend Zorian to watch your dog. The area they are in also makes for great walks and views so your dog is bound to have a good time!”
“Miriam took great care of Frodo and made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay with her. We received constant updates and she was very responsive to our questions / requests. We also appreciate her flexibility and kindness - especially when we were having challenges getting last minute arrangements due to a family emergency. Will definitely book her again!”
“We always know our boy Zuko will be in the best hands when we leave him with Kirsten and her family. 💙 He has so much fun at their house and comes home nice and tired! 😄 I love that Kirsten sends pictures and updates and it’s so nice to know that he is getting lots of love and attention. 😊”
“Julie and Cyrus bonded instantly. Her attention to his personality and behavior made for a wonderful weekend. I will absolutely book Cyrus with Julie again!”
“Amazing communication, so kind and flexible when travel plans changed because of unplanned medical issues, very loving towards our dog, and sends so many adorable photos. We’re lucky to have found Meagan.”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“So great with her!! My dog is pretty anxious but he was so kind about it, and she warmed up to him quickly. He even took her to a dog park and from the videos he sent they had a blast. Would definitely book again!”
“Brianna was fantastic with Dune. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and videos. He was playing, napping, and didn’t appear stressed or anxious at all. Overall, she did an excellent job! Thank you.”
“I was so nervous to leave my nine month old pup with a stranger. He’s a big boy but loves attention and play and is really sensitive to disapproval. Celia and her family kept him feeling loved and happy the whole week. When my friend (who he adores) picked him up she said he seemed super comfy with Celia.”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“Emily, Patrick, and Conan are such a wonderful family. This was our first time to leave our dog Coco with someone and we were a little worried at first if she would be ok without us, but they took such good care of our dog. Coco is picky about her food, but they made sure she ate properly, and it seems she had fun playing with Winter! Also, we thank Conan for playing with Coco! They also responded quickly and provided frequent updates, so we never had to worry about anything. We're really glad we met this family!”
“My dog LOVED her stay with Elizabeth and her family. It was a huge relief to know that she was well taken care of during my vacation. That knowledge allowed me to focus on my trip and enjoy myself. I’m definitely going to book with Elizabeth again.”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Don is amazing! He was so patient and kind with our older, shy dog. He clearly loves animals and went out of his way to make sure Bella was comfortable. He was flexible about timing and pleasant to work with. I can't recommend him enough!”
“Lorelei was great with our puppy! She was quick to respond to all our questions, kept us in the loop on how her stay was going, and took extra steps to make sure she was happy the whole time!”
“Nathan was excellent and exceptionally good with our senior dogs, a St Bernard and a EC Golden Retriever. The boys were treated well and kept safe. Communication with Nathan was excellent. He would send us pictures of the boys. And we knew that they were having fun. Thanks Nathan.”
“Thank you so much for helping us out in such a pinch and also for being such an incredible friend to our pups. We can get nervous every time we need to go out of town hoping our dogs will do well and we can tell they thrived with you. Thanks for taking care of them! Will be back again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manchester
Jennifer has been an amazing sitter for Katsu. I love getting pics of our pup on adventures or cuddling on the couch. He’s always sent home with an extra toy if he shows interest. I know he’s well taken care of and even though we live in Bremerton, we feel the drive is worth it to know he’s sleeping in a sweet loving home and not a kennel. Thanks Jennifer for being awesome!
Anitra was so great to my Charlie Boy! I loved getting pics throughout the day and he seemed so happy. I also really appreciate her flexibility! I needed someone last minute and she totally came to the rescue allowing me to book the last minute boarding. Thank you and next time I’m in town I’m so ubioking her again!
Wish I lived in the area so I could bring my pups here every weekend! My boys had the best time and they are pooped from just how much energy they got to get out on her beautiful property! And on top of that I myself was able to fully relax and have an incredible weekend knowing that my dogs were in the absolute best possible hands. Would give 100/100 stars if I could.
Top Tier Service !!! Micheal was amazing!!!! Hazel had an accident prior to being boarded he check in on her and made adjustment needed for her stay! He went above and beyond ensuring I she was cared and I didn’t have to worry while she was in his care. I promise you if you pick him as your Rover Sitter you will be at ease knowing your puppers was in a loving environment. I will be booking with him again!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Manchester is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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 5,641 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Manchester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Manchester home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Manchester.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
You and your Manchester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
