“Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!”
“First off, let me say from a very anxious dog mama to leave her babies, Rover made this entire experience seamless and very professional. Kasper was a godsend. Kasper took the time to meet my dogs prior to the booking. Kasper took every concern I had and made sure it was addressed. Not only did Kasper communicate through the whole booking, I received pictures upon pictures of my dogs. There was not one point in my time away when I didn’t know what was happening at my home and felt 100% secure. Kasper was beyond kind and loving to my dogs and I will definitely be using Kasper again. Anybody that needs someone to come and stay with your dogs in your own home, Kasper‘s the best. 150% satisfied and 200% endorse booking with Kasper!!”

“Bryan made our first experience with Rover extraordinary. He took amazing care of our 2 special need hounds; and I can’t thank him enough for the peace of mind we had leaving them for the weekend.”
“Nia was so thoughtful and caring with our dog, Jiffers! We booked Nia for an overnight service in our home and we couldn’t be more happy. She sent us picture updates throughout the day and kept us informed on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”

About: Ive taken care of people's pets while they were away. I even stayed at their house. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of people's pets. I'll make sure the animals are well taken care of especially pets that are older. I currently work full time at a nursing home kitchen as a dietary aide. I usually work 6-2. Tuesdays I work 10-7:30. The only days I am off are Thursdays and Sundays. So anything after 3 is fine and Thursdays I am available all day. I will care for your pets with love and affection. I will walk your dogs and feed them. I will also play with them to get a feel of how they interact. As for cats I will feed them and play with them as well. I enjoy rewarding them with treats.
About: I’ve recently moved to NJ about two years ago. Prior to moving here, I have walked many many dogs including Great Danes, Samoyed, German Shepherds, Yorkies, etc. On occasion I would cat sit my friend’s cats whenever they go on vacation. I love ALL kinds of animals, but do the best when they’re friendly to humans. Im high energy and like to be out going, so I do prefer dogs with lots of energy to play, walk, or run with! I’m a college student working part time over the summer. Despite that, my job is very flexible and I can move things around to fit whatever works best for you. My Saturday & Sunday are busy from 4pm-11pm and my Mondays and Thursday are busy from 11am-10pm, but I can move things around if needed. I only ask that I would get a week in advance notice! I absolutely love playing with animals. I’m high energy myself and seeing any animals happy makes my heart melt. I would take probably hundreds of photos of the fur balls! I work best with animals that are already tamed or don’t bite. I’m also very good with following any type of instructions and would ask questions to sort out any concerns prior to pet sitting.
“Joyce was amazing! She took care of my fur babies like her own. We enjoyed our vacation because we had peace of mind and did not have any worries. Thank you Joyce we will be using you again.”
About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. My experience includes daily care, feeding routines, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, patient, and dedicated to making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I'm excited to help care for your pets! i currently have a decently flexible schedule! Available weekdays after 2pm and all weekends. I can adjust to your pet care needs. Your pet will never know you're gone! I will treat them as my own pet and keep on their current routines to establish a great transition!
“So happy & pleased that we selected Radiance to sit & stay with our pup in-house while we were away from our home for over 6 hours. From our meet & greet to the day of the event, Radiance remained in touch, ensuring we were in good hands! Upon our return, our highly energetic 1 year old pup was calm and relaxed, as a result of Radiance’s loving care and attention during our time away. If you’re looking for someone to walk or stay with your pup, we highly recommend Radiance as your first choice as she is professional, caring and very responsive! We are very happy we selected Radiance, as she will be our “go to” from here on in!”
“Lisa was amazing! She was communicative and so kind to my elderly guy. When I learned that my cat needed daily medication I thought I'd never be able to travel, but Lisa completely put my skittish cat at ease. She made it easy for me to enjoy my trip because I knew my cat was in great hands!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from young puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds, so I’m comfortable handling both small and large breeds. My experience also includes caring for dogs with anxiety, special routines, and medication needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and cared for while they’re with me. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs plenty of exercise, a senior dog who needs a slower paced walk, or a nervous dog who needs extra patience and reassurance, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and dependable care. I have a flexible schedule and can meet any needs your dog(s) have. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will care for your dog in their own home, allowing them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog receives plenty of attention and exercise.

Donia is a wonderful caregiver. Donia gave us a sense of caring the day she met our pets which allowed us to not worry about them while we were away from home. She kept in touch with us throughout which allowed us to enjoy our daughter's wedding. We will absolutely call on her again in the future.
Serena was amazing!! I have 2 bulldogs who are not the easiest but she did great with them and my boys absolutely loved her. She sent pictures and kept close contact the whole time I was gone. She will answer you so fast and kept me so at ease, I was able to enjoy my getaway with no stress which usually doesn't happen for me cause im always nervous about leaving them but not with Serena!! I will definitely be using her again!
Serena stayed at our house with our two dogs for a whole week. We were looking for someone comfortable enough to sleep with our pups and she was that! She was also very flexible with times as we left in the morning and came home late night. We highly recommend Serena and would love to use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manchester Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manchester Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Manchester Township walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Manchester Township maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manchester Township choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
