“It is really stressful leaving your dog for a weekend, especially when you’ve been together all day, everyday during the pandemic. Stacy though eased our anxiety completely and she couldn’t have taken better care of our dog. She was friendly and loving towards our dog Mikey when they first met...she stayed and hung out with him to make him less anxious when we were away..and sent us pictures/updates every time she went to see him. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I highly, highly recommend Stacy for anyone who needs a dog sitter. We ll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Joseph always goes above and beyond when taking care of Otis! My dog is so comfortable with him & Joseph sends lots of updates to let me know how it’s going while I’m away. He’s a great sitter!”
“Joy was so thoughtful, paid attention to all the details, and our cats liked her immediately. She took great care of our girls and our home while we were away. She is very responsive and sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”
“David, was great with our 85+lb 1 year old puppy. He kept him safe, gave him plenty of exercise and attention, and even some training reinforcement. David was punctual, neat and tidy in the house, and truly loves animals. I would not hesitate to use him again and have already booked for our next service.”
“Denisse was amazing with my pups! I have 3 dogs so they kept her busy but she handled it like a pro. My mind was put at ease knowing such a trustworthy person was taking care of my pups and home while I was out of town. The dogs got plenty of love and cuddles while I was away. Communication was frequent and loved getting pictures of my dogs comfortable in their surroundings like I never even left. Denisse was sweet and watered my plants for me and grabbed my mail. I will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ll care for your loved one as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.
About: Hello, I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember. our “foster-fail” pup is learning to communicate with Fluent Pet buttons! She’s the friendliest little Morkie who would love some friends while mom’s home! She’s learned hand signals and verbal commands all with positive reinforcement! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all I work from home and already have a pet care routine built in! We go for three walks a day and whatever time in between we spend in the backyard playing fetch or dipping into her mini pool to cool off We currently have a yard, though it’s not fenced is large and set back. we also have set it up with leads for 50 yards. Our home has a crate and pen area “doggie room” id like to call it just next to my desk where I work if crating / alone time is needed. Three walks a day! The honest kitchen is the dog food we use along side fruits, treats, and peanut butter for snacks! Endless toys and enrichment ideas are planned for every day! Rolled towels for treats, boxes for tearing, snuffle mats, lick mats, balls you name it lol! Athena is pretty spoiled and I’d love to spoil your pup too! She gets along very well with friends and has both female, male, toy sized friends, xl golden doodle friends! She LOVE tugging with other dogs it’s the cutest. Going to someone else’s home would be lovely and I’m happy to bring items with me! Just let me know your boundaries and what you’re working on with your pup and I’m happy to help in any way. Older pups are my sweet spot. My late shihtzu diagnosed with cancer was on medication for a bit and needed a lot of extra love and support, happy to provide this as well.
“Abbey was the best! She stayed at our house with our cat. She was very communicative and sent daily photos, which we really appreciated. Super professional and we look forward to having her back again!”
“Vinny did an excellent job taking care of our pets and house while we were away on an international trip! He left the house better than he found it - I was very impressed by his thorough cleaning and obvious caretaking of our pets. I don’t think our fur babies even realized we were gone! I would absolutely recommend Vinny for anyone interested in house+petsitting.”

About: My dog Chanel is my world so it would be a pleasure to share that same love to others. I’ve grown up around dogs between all of my family so this is a joy to experience. I currently work day shifts and very loyal to my schedule of care with my dog at home. It would be no burden or issue at all to care for others 4 legged friends. The same care I provide to my own as if she was my daughter is the same care I’d give to others pets. Any dog in my care is my family.
“Thu was amazing. I had another sitter booked who canceled on me on Thanksgiving morning! Thu saved the day! She spent lots of time loving my babies and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her.”

“We can’t thank Rachel enough! I was nervous to leave The girls with strangers, but my worries quickly faded away! From the very start Rachel was awesome! Sending pictures and even working with our youngest in the back yard. The house was left in perfect order! We can not give Rachel enough praise! Would definitely use and recommend!”
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou
Brant is incredible! From the first meeting, he clearly took the care of our pets seriously. He took time to ask many questions about what would make Mabel comfortable and how he could best care for her. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter through an app, and we chose Brant based on his reviews. And we are SO glad we did! We will be hiring Brant again for our menagerie (1 dog and many cats). His kindness, attention to every need of the pets, and level of both care and communication have been amazing. We now know we can travel with peace of mind. Highly highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manitou
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 8,240 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manitou. 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 Manitou 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 Manitou 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 Manitou 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
