“I booked Valeria to look after my dog, Lola, for another daycare session. It was a bit last minute but Valeria was very kind and rescheduled some appointments for that day so Lola could stay with her. Lola couldn't wait to see her. Valeria kept me updated with photos of Lola's activities and walks. Thank you Valeria.”
“Jyothi and his family were really nice and took really good care of Simba. Unfortunately Simba has fallen ill recently and appetite isn't great but Jyothi ensured he tried his best to get Simba eating. Regular updates with photos which definitely put my mind at ease esp when my baby isn't 100%. Can't thank you enough for being so caring and understanding. Highly recommended ?”
“We booked our dog Toby in with Leda this weekend for day care for the first time and will definitely be booking again. Leda was friendly, kept us updated and Toby was relaxed with her. Gave us piece of mind that Toby was in safe hands”
“Hannah was great. Branwen clearly loved spending time with her and the toys she provided by the pictures! Hannah kept me updated throughout the day and clearly took lots of care of Branwen. Would definitely book again!”
“Lucy and her partner were great with Frank! From start to finish, it was a great experience. I felt at ease and knew Frank would be well looked after as Lucy paid close attention to all instructions. She was friendly and communicative, and updated me and took lots of pics! It was only a short stay this time, but I would 1000% boom again for longer stays as I could see Frank was in safe hands and had a lovely time! Would highly recommend. :)”
“Annie was really great with Branwen, she also made sure to keep me updated on how Branwen was doing. She kept Branwen entertained, and played lots of games with her. She was also really good with Branwens difficult walking style really well. I'd recommend Annie, and would definitely use her for day care again :).”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always looked after neighbours and friends dogs whenever needed. I work from home most days so your dog will get constant attention, if needed, toilet breaks every few hours and plenty of during the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, handling high-energy puppies (with experience puppies) and caring for senior dogs with slower routines. I work from home most days of the week so available Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays or post 5pm if needing someone to help out in the evening. When I work from home I’ll be able to provide hourly toilet breaks if needed. I live in a flat but have large parks near by where your dogs will be walked. I don’t have any other pets in the house so all my attention can go to looking after your dog.
“Wei En and her boyfriend were very prompt with messaging and receptive to Bingo's needs. She picked up our request with short notice and communicated often with updates throughout the day. Bingo left a very tired and well-looked after dog and I'd be happy to use Wei En again.”
About: Since I was very young, I’ve had a deep love and care for animals. Growing up, I often volunteered to look after my family’s pets, even before having one of my own. I’ve also been involved in an animal adoption project in South America, where I helped rescue dogs and care for them until they were rehomed. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand and adapt to different personalities and needs. Four years ago, I rescued my own dog in Peru, who had been living on the streets. She’s truly like my daughter. When I moved to the UK for my postgraduate studies, my family kindly took over her care back home, which gives me a lot of comfort while I’m away. Because of her, I really understand what it means to love and care for a dog day to day. I always treat every dog as if they were my own, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while I’m with them. I’m very attentive, responsible, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with them. I’m currently doing an MBA and not working, so I have a very flexible schedule. My class timetable is light and varies week to week, which allows me to be available at different times. I can usually accommodate bookings from Monday to Sunday, depending on the week. I live in a secure flat within a private building that has access to gardens and is surrounded by several parks in the city centre, making it a great area for walks and quick bathroom breaks. At home, I have a comfortable living space and a small enclosed balcony where pets can safely relax and get some fresh air. I’m very attentive and make sure each pet receives the care, supervision, and affection they need at all times. I always aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and at home.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets and have looked after family and friends’ pets while they’re away on holiday, working, or simply in need of a break. I’m a bit of a pet whisperer and can usually tell what they need in an instant (some might say I can speak to them!). All jokes aside, I’ll make sure your pets have a safe, comfortable and happy space where their individual needs are always catered for. Up and out for a morning walk and toilet break to start the day. We’ll have a little run in the park or play fetch with a ball before heading home for breakfast while I work from home. At lunchtime, we’ll head out for another quick walk, giving us a chance to stretch our legs and have another toilet break. Later in the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a longer walk home, taking in the scenery and, most importantly, getting lots of good sniffs in! Back home, we’ll settle in and finish the working day before having dinner together and getting ready for our final and longest walk of the day, depending on your dog’s size, age and needs. I live in a safe and secure flat, with any potential hazards or obstructions kept safely out of reach. Pets will have regular toilet breaks and plenty of opportunities to get outside. There are several parks nearby where they can enjoy walks, explore and have a toilet break. If they’re comfortable socialising with other animals, there will also be opportunities to meet and interact with other pets along the way.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for dogs through my family’s pet shop and grooming business, where I learned how to handle, care for, and understand pets with different personalities and needs. Being around animals every day taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I truly feel a deep connection with animals and love spending time with them, they bring so much joy into my life and honestly complete me. <3 I'm currently working part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate regular bookings as well as last-minute requests when available. This means I’m able to provide attentive care, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a spacious apartment with a large living room in the area Deansgate, Spinningfields. The area is very safe and extremely pet-friendly, with plenty of welcoming spots including coffee shops where they're pet friendly. I’m able to take pets out for walks at any time of day, and there’s a lovely open space right next to my home that isn’t busy with cars, making it a calm and secure environment for walks and play.

Nikol is such a trustworthy sitter. She was so easy to contact and sent regular updates on Gus. She made sure he stuck to schedules for eating and walking for toilet breaks and he was so happy at the end of the day - it was clear Gus had a great time with Nikol and he’s already got his next couple of days booked it 🥰
Dayoun is wonderful! She happily met up for a quick meet and greet to talk though Rocky’s individual needs and quirks and has happily had him for the full day for me! I received lots of updates and pictures which was lovely to see and he came home very happy and tired 🐶 Will absolutely rebook!!
Sam was excellent. He was very quick to respond. He was very thoughtful - he let me know he would be looking after another dog who he plays fetch with in the park and asked if I wanted to bring Wilmas long lead so she wouldn't feel left out. He sent lots of pictures and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Wilma was so comfortable she decided to jump onto his dining room table which I have never seen her do before!
Thanks Campbell, sorry for delay, been a bit hectic since! Thanks for doing such a great job looking after Stanley, he looked very relaxed heading off with the two of you, and your photos were fantastic! Hope to get to meet you again soon, all the best, Tom, Pattie and Stanley 🐶
Imogen was great! Easy to communicate with and took fantastic care of Akira who came back happy and full of beans. Akira can be challenging from time to time so it’s nice to have someone that understands your concerns and reads through some guidance for that eventuality when an Akita wants to go full Akita. 😎 would definitely rebook!
Absolutely brilliant dog sitter! Rocco was so well looked after and came home happy and settled. It was clear he had a lovely time and was really cared for. I had great communication throughout and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Sherry was fantastic, I really can’t think of anything she could have done to improve; her service was excellent, the care she gave our dog outstanding, and everything about the process of booking with her and her day with our dog was professional, clear and friendly. Sherry was a joy to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or rebook her. Thank you Sherry for looking after our dog with such care and attention, he was so very happy!

There are 2,837 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Manchester. About 87% of Manchester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Manchester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
