“Oakley was so happy and made himself at home it was adorable! Tomos took him on walks and took good care of him i could tell and would definitely leave oakley with him again!”
“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.”
“Jamie and Nikola were absolutely wonderful with our little princess, Miss Minnie! They took such great care of her, and it was clear she felt right at home with them and their lovely dog, Carlton. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Minnie came back happy, relaxed, and already looking forward to her next stay! We highly recommend this gorgeous couple, they’re truly amazing sitters. 💕🐾”
“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 ?”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and have been lucky enough to own family pets throughout my childhood, through until present day. We’ve always had labradors but I love and have cared for all breeds, big and small! I am a dog lover through and through and since moving away from home, have seriously been craving some dog exposure. My boyfriend and I would LOVE to care for your fur babies. Our days in the office vary week on week, so please feel free to reach out and I’ll keep you informed! Generally, one of us is home throughout the day so your furry friend will have company throughout their visit. Having owned dogs all my life, I am familiar with the safe environment required for animals and know how to build trust with both people, and their pets.
“Darcy was wonderful. Easy to book and made the drop off and pick up really convenient for me. Milo was well looked after and seemed happy as can be coming back from his walks with Darcy. Lots of care and attention I will definitely book Darcy again next time I'm working in the area. And highly recommend her.”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I have previously worked for the RSPCA as an animal carer, I have experience with all sizes of dogs and cats from very young to very old. As well as private dog sitting/walking in the past. I am comfortable grooming animals as well. I have a degree in psychology with a focus on animal behaviour, and I will be starting my animal behaviour and welfare masters in October. Currently looking for regular or one off clients. I am starting a masters in animal behaviour and welfare in October and I am wanting to continue animal care over the summer before starting. As my course has not yet started, I currently have plenty of time in the day to spend with your furry friends! I have a lot of pet sitting and caring experience through previous roles as an animal carer. I am also DBS checked. I understand how important routine is for your animals, so I am happy to follow your schedules to ensure your pet is well cared for.
“Samuel has been fantastic with Wallace. He is kind, conscientious and professional, and uses his knowledge and experience to provide an elevated level of care. We would trust him in a heartbeat and hope that Wallace can enjoy more fun days with Samuel soon!”
“Leda was wonderful with our 1 year old beagle. It was a rainy day and I think he enjoyed having a comfy place to relax with some cuddles while his parents ran errands!”
About: I genuinely love being with animals they are my best friends and best company. I had many cats and dogs in my life. They are part of me! I am not working at the moment or just casual shifts through an agency. I have plenty of free time to look after your pet I will make sure your pet is well looked after with the right amount of food... Clean litter tray... I will spend as much time with them as they need.
“Lockheed had a fabulous day thanks to Nilan! From the moment Lockheed met him, he trusted Nilan completely and the updates from Nilan with photos were great as Lockheed clearly felt at home. Thankyou so much for taking care of Lockheed; I can wholeheartedly recommend!”
“Bugsy had a fab day with Hannah, lots of check ins and pupdates 🥰 Bugsy had lots of play time, good walks and chill time for napping, she was definitely comfortable and happy with Hannah 🫶🏼”
“Annie has been amazing with Ruby, she is normally wary of strangers but after the initial meet and greet, Ruby snuggled next to Annie and was very relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. Would recommend Annie to all doggy parents, and will certainly book another appointment with her!”
“Ishwarya was fantastic with Yoshi! Took such great care of him and sent me lots of updates throughout the day. He was very well taken care of especially with the heat wave! She was so so great! Would recommend; a nice safe loving space for your pets!”

About: Hi! I’m Laura 😊 I’ve always loved dogs and currently have a French Bulldog called Gus, who keeps me on my toes! Looking after him has taught me so much, from daily walks and playtime to understanding different behaviours and making sure he’s happy, healthy and well cared for. We have lots of family and friends with dogs (of various breeds) and I have looked after many of them over the years. I’m confident caring for different breeds. I have plenty of experience with brachycephalic breeds (like French Bulldogs) and I’m more than happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine, training and any instructions you leave so they feel comfortable and settled. I’m a teacher, so one of the best things about my job is that I have all the school holidays free, which means I have lots of time to give your pets the attention and company they deserve while you’re away. I can also be available on some weekends and evenings. I live with my boyfriend too, which means extra love for your pup 😊 I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I’d treat your dog just like my own. I’ll make sure they have lots of love, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe hands! As a teacher, I have all school holidays free, which means I can completely work around your dog’s usual routine during those times. Whether they need early morning walks, lunchtime visits or evening cuddles, I’m happy to fit around what works best for them. During term time, I’m available on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I live in a ground-floor flat with a small private terrace, so dogs still have access to fresh air and a safe outdoor space for toilet breaks. My own French Bulldog, Gus, is used to regular walks throughout the day (he prefers not to use the terrace for toilet breaks!) and lots of attention at home. For dogs staying in my home, I’d need to know they are comfortable around other dogs, as Gus is very friendly and playful and still thinks he’s a puppy! Having said that, he will listen when a dog tells him off. I’d always arrange a meet and greet first to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. I’m also happy to consider staying in your home if that’s what works best for your dog. I’d follow their usual routine and make sure they feel settled while you’re away.

Holly was fantastic with our pup Herbert, she met him prior to booking to introduce herself which we really appreciated. On the day she was patient and caring and provided plenty of updates and pictures to let us know Herbert was having a great day. He was nervous at first being in a new environment but Holly helped him calm down and settle well. She took him for big walk and provided him with all the attention (he is a needy pup). We would be more than happy for Holly to mind Herbert in the future (so would Herb).
Silvia is lovely and took amazing care of my 4 month old puppy Finn. I booked in last minute with her and received a super quick response before and during his day with her, alongside frequent photos and videos throughout. Highly recommend! My pup is now fast asleep 🤣

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Manchester on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,775 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Manchester. About 86% 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 .
