“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“This is the second time I’ve left my girls with Maria. I am so fond of her and I know that my dogs are the safest with her and have a really great time with her dogs and any other dogs she’s watching. I will always reach out to Maria when I need someone to watch my dogs and I hope that she’s in our lives for a long time!”
“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Miriam! She was incredibly sweet and took great care of Fiona while we were out of town for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and helped us know Fiona was doing well. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and attention to Fiona's needs. We'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Kirsten was gracious enough to take Biscuit with less than 1 week notice because she had the availability. Thank you for doing the meet-and-greet with such short notice as well as allowing me to extend a day when I had to stay on my trip longer. Most importantly Biscuit was happy when I picked her up!”
“One of the kindest & sweetest sitter we have experienced! Julie is so fantastic & wonderful that I can tell little Tobi had a great weekend with her! She kept us updated each day so we were able to put our minds at ease. Thank you so much and hopefully we can book you again!”
“Samantha was totally great with Fergus and the pups played so well together- tons of pictures and updates. We’re looking forward to our next stay with Samantha and team! ❤️”
“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.”
“Lindsey & Jason took great care of my St Bernard!! And I’m especially grateful they were able to take her on short notice when I had to leave town unexpectedly. Thank you so much!”
“This was our first time leaving our 6-month-old Miniature Schnauzer, Shiro, for a vacation, and Jenny gave us absolute peace of mind from start to finish. Her communication is phenomenal. Throughout the weekend, she sent us tons of pictures and videos, along with incredibly thoughtful, detailed updates on his day. It was so reassuring to hear how calmly he settled into her home. Jenny strictly followed all of his specific feeding routines and kept him engaged with training, play, and lovely walks. What truly sets Jenny apart is how she goes above and beyond. It was an absolute pleasure having her care for him, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Alexa was wonderful to work with! She followed all directions, asked thoughtful questions, and took great care of our dog Sucia. We didn’t worry about our pup for a minute with all of the clear communication and excellent care. We will definitely book again!”
“My dog had a great time at Shari's. And I never worried, I got daily or more often updates, pictures and information. Shari is very professional and loves dogs. I will certainly be requesting her the next time we need a sitter, or even for the day!”
“This was first boarding experience at sitters home for my pet and Kenny took real good care and made sure to provide updates almost everyday and also provided good insight into my dogs behavior especially with another dog. Kenny also made sure to go one step above and made sure to accommodate my last minute pickup and drop off changes. I definitely recommend Kenny !!”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“My dog had a great time with Vadzim and his dog. I got lots of photo updates throughout the stay! Vadzim was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would recommend and book him again for future sits.”
“Lorelei came to our rescue! My mom was critically ill and I had to find a cat sitter at the last minute who would take her cat "Hank" in for a long-term stay. Hank was well-cared for and in good hands during his weeks-long stay. Cage-free and lots of attention. I am so thankful to Lorelei for all of her help during this difficult situation.”
“Beth is so good with our dog Chicken! Beth is so easy to coordinate with and is incredibly communicative. Chicken loves staying at Beth’s and knows where we are when we pull up. I couldn’t recommend Beth more as a rover for fur babies.”
“We are so grateful to Loic and Kristen’s family for taking such great care of Bella while we were on vacation. We truly appreciated the daily pictures and videos they sent. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

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 5,619 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.
