“Lida and her flatmates were amazing dog sitters! Left my dog for 2 nights and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there, with multiple walks daily, play time and even gave him a shower, plus a lovely gift to top it all. She was proactive with keeping me updated with photos and his status multiple times a day, I was left at ease that my dog was in safe hands - highly recommend.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Annamay and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. My dog Fifi stayed overnight and was clearly so well cared for. Annamay kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was lovely to see Fifi so happy, playful, and relaxed in her care. Communication was perfect from start to finish, and it’s obvious that Annamay genuinely loves and understands dogs.”
“I booked Valeria for two nights boarding with my little doggy Lola, everything went well with Lola happily trotting off with Valeria. As usual Valeria kept me updated with messages and photos which was great and meant that I could enjoy my short break without worrying about Lola's welfare. Lola was so chilled when I picked her up so she'd had a good time as well. thank you Valeria,”
“Louis had a great time with Jamie. They took wonderful care of her and kept us updated with lots of cute pictures. Great dog sitters and we’d be happy to book with Jamie again!”
“Our two Frenchie’s have just had another week with the wonderful Michael. The girls absolutely love him and are so happy there. One of our dogs had a bit of a medical issue before dropping her off but we spoke to Micheal and he was absolutely fine having her and kept us constantly updated with pictures and telling us what they had been up to. Michael is truly a wonderful human that looks after our girls like their his own.”
“Imogen was great with Rudy, took him out on walks and gave him lots of cuddles during his stay! Rudy has been shattered today so he must have had a very fun time. Thank you Imogen, would love to book with you again!”
“Alison was AMAZING! 🤩 she sent me photos and updates of Lily and you could see that Lily was having so much fun! 🩷 Lily didn’t wanted to say goodbye so we will definitely see Alison more often! We are very happy we found Alison! She truly loves dogs and makes sure to treat them as her own 🐶💕”
“Mojo had the best time with Isabel. She was very communicative and sent lots of picture and video updates. She took him on lots of walks and did fun activities with him. Big thank you to her for taking such good care of our Mojo and we will absolutely be booking her services again when we travel.”
“We (and more importantly - our dog) are very happy with Leda. It's our fourth time with her, we are very confident in Leda, she is extremely reliable and attentive. Have experienced 0 issues.”
“Fabulous service, Willow my flat coated retriever tells me she love staying with Hannah and she is always excited to see her when she arrives. I would 100% recommend to any dog owner. Willow needs lots of exercise and takes medication for her allergies and Hannah catered for my daughter's every need. While I have been away on holiday or away on business.”
“Alice and her partner were such a wonderful, friendly, dog loving couple who did an amazing job of looking after my dog overnight. He was clearly well looked after, taken on some lovely walks and I’m grateful for all the photos of him while he was staying with them. I would recommend Alice to anybody and I will be keen to use their service the next time I need some help.”
“Atlas had a great time with Lucy. It’s always reassuring dropping your dog off to hear they’ve plans to take them for a walk in the Peak District, it makes you feel that they really want to look after your dog not just contented minimum. Lucy kept us updated with pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“Always a great experience with Aysha and Mike! They’ve been our regular sitter for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier. You can tell they have a special bond. We’re so thankful for their consistent, loving care 💕”
About: Hello! My name is Karman, nice to meet you :) I had a shih tzu back home and I had him since he was a puppy so I am very experienced with walking and taking care of dogs. I currently have 1 rescue dog from Romania called Ruby and I live in a flat with my dog and my partner. I regularly take care of my friends’ dogs, and I ensure they are always supervised when playing together with my dog. I also regularly take both of the dogs out on walks so I am confident walking two dogs at once, but equally happy to walk them individually so each dog gets all the sniffs at their own pace :) Happy to meet prior to your booking to make sure you are happy with me and our dogs are happy with each other! Can either meet at a nearby park, or can come to my building and meet at a neutral ground for both dogs to get to know each other. To ensure both your dog and my dog can have a lovely time together, I am only able to accommodate daycare/overnight stays for dogs up to 10kg 🐾 I prioritise my dog and her health and wellbeing, so I wake up at 8am to ensure she gets plenty of time to sniff, do her zoomies and do her business in the morning. During my lunch time, I take her out for a potty break and after coming back I then give her a form of enrichment toy/puzzle to keep her mentally stimulated. After work we go on another walk, followed by cleaning her paws, brushing her fur and teeth and cleaning her eyes everyday. We have a balcony but it is secured and my dog cannot get through the gaps nor jump over it. I also make sure to keep my eyes on her whenever she goes near the balcony. We rarely use the balcony apart from when we are cooking and I put up a dog gate so my dog can’t sneak out to the balcony without me knowing. I am very aware of the dangers of dogs eating certain human food, so I make sure to never drop anything on the floor and if I did, I clean it up immediately. I have doggy gates which I use when I need to limit their access around the apartment for various reasons too. This can be because a dog has resource guarding issues and need their own personal space when eating, or it can be because they need time out and one dog needs a nap.
“Josh was nothing short of an absolute pleasure to loose with for looking after my boy, Ronnie! Josh was able to accommodate having Ronnie at short notice and was so friendly. Josh invited me and Ronnie over to do a meet and greet before having Ronnie stay with him. Josh sent me photos and videos of Ronnie whilst I was away. I would absolutely feel confident having Ronnie stay over with Josh again and would fully recommend him!”
“George has had a lovely time with Lucy and has come home looking really great if a bit fatter.She has sent me loads of photos and videos, I would definitely be really happy to go to Lucy again.”

Our Frenchie, Albie, has just come back from another week's stay at Michael's (well 9 nights) and it's clear he had another fantastic stay. Michael provides the perfect amount of updates, which make it very clear that Albie is having a lovely time with him. We never feel worried when Albie is with Michael, we know that he's in the best hands and is being cared for very well. Michael is always our go to for Albie, we couldn't recommend him enough! Thanks so much!
Mus did an amazing job at keeping me informed of Luna’s wellbeing. It was reassuring to see Luna relaxed and at play in a new environment and getting along with other dogs. I’m very happy I booked Luna’s stay with Mus. I highly recommend her and will book again with her in the future.
Such a brilliant experience with Siobhan and Will looking after Lola. Our first time leaving her with soneone and she seemed at home and happy wagging her tail from the moment she met them. Siobhan was brilliant with updatea, communication and took her out on a long walk along the canal. Would totally recommend them, Lola came back haopy, amd as she can get quite amxious it was a huge relief! Great sitters 💫
Soffia was amazing with my little buddy. She and her family have a wonderful home, and she gave him all the love and care he's used to. She was even kind enough to send him back with a little toy that he's fallen in love with. Anyone entrusting their pet to Soffia can sleep soundly knowing their doggo is in loving care

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Manchester

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manchester on Rover is £32.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our 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 dog to the closest vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
