About: Hi! My name is Nicole! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I will make sure your pets are provided with the individualized care that they need and deserve. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed, reinforcing basic commands and routines, helping maintain the structure pets are used to while you're away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have six years of experience caring for snakes, so I’m comfortable providing care for reptiles as well. I understand the importance of proper feeding schedules, habitat conditions, and gentle handling. Whether your companion needs a good walk, a daytime check-in, company while you’re traveling, or care for a reptile friend, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am a licensed massage therapist that has a private practice out of Old Colorado City. I work about 3-4 days a week and have a fair amount of flexibility the rest of the time. And with some notice, I can block out my work schedule for Rover clients. I have a 14 y/o Chihuahua mix that I walk, cuddle and play with daily. We are close to my office, so we either drive or walk to work where she greets my massage clients and naps during sessions. As for home sitting clients, I abide by their care guidelines to make sure their home and pets are treated with care and respect. I keep a clean home and will leave your home in good standing.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. As an older, dependable caregiver, I bring patience, reliability, and a calm presence that helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I also cared for my own senior dog through his later years, and understand the extra attention and compassion older dogs need to stay healthy, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, medication reminders, or simply a caring person around, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I have for my own. I’m a school teacher currently out for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends. I’m also an early riser, which makes me a great fit for morning walks and dependable daily care. My availability allows me to give pets consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. My home provides a safe and comfortable environment for pets, including a secure 6-foot fenced yard, a covered porch for shade and relaxation, and easy access to the house through a doggie door so dogs can move comfortably between indoors and outdoors.
“Luke took on the job of walking and feeding my bloodhound while we were out of town - and he did a great job! She can be a huge brat on walks, but that didn't deter him from braving the early morning sidewalks with her. We got daily pictures and regular updates which always makes mom happy. We'll definitely use Luke's services again!”

About: Currently have two heeler mixes (7&9 years old) who are social butterfly’s and enjoy having friends over for playing in the yard and sharing snacks! My heart has a special place for senior dogs, as I had a JRT mix for 17 years. In college I worked at a Petco and was mentored by the dog trainer there. That experience helped me learn so much. I often pet sit for my parents who have 6 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I am comfortable with both small and large breeds. I would love the opportunity to host your dog at my home or be a guest in yours to keep them company! I am currently a stay at home dog mom! We get up early in the morning, about 4:30/5am. The dogs enjoy plenty of yard time and walks around the neighborhood during the day. Breakfast is usually kibble topped with vitamins and a farm fresh egg! Dinner is less exciting but they get plenty of treats to make up for it. We have a fenced backyard and tend to hang out in the yard with the dogs, especially if I am watching a known fence jumper. When meeting new dogs I prefer using the backyard and letting one dog out at a time. I always want to make sure there is room for everyone to feel comfortable. I do have a kitchen divider gate to separate dogs for breakfast/dinner time. Our dogs are friendly with food, but I know guest dogs may feel unsure in new space at first. If I am coming to your house, I would prefer to have clear communication of where dog leash, harness, cat/dog food, toys, treats, etc are as I want to respect your home and not be poking about unnecessarily. I am happy to walk any dog that has appropriate leash manners, or if you have a yard I am happy to play with the dogs there or simply hang out with them so they can enjoy the sun. ☀️ I am not able to watch a cat in my home, I can only visit cats. My cat does not do well with other feline friends, and I have to respect that boundary.
About: I’ve taken care of many cats & dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting for 8 years! I fall in love with every pet i meet and want to give them the love and care they deserve! I can do medications & am willing to learn any specialized care to care for your pet family. I have experience in taking care of senior dogs, and providing different types of medications to pets. I love to work on training with dogs and think it’s pretty fun to try to teach cats too when the occasion arises! I’m not a professional trainer, I just find it very engaging and love to build that bond with another animal. I can also understand the high needs of puppies & younger dogs & have experience taking care of them. I would love to get to know your pet whether they’re shy, outgoing, large, or small. I’m very adaptable and can learn swiftly how to best approach your unique pet! i work part-time right now and have all the time during the week to care for your pet! Friday-Sunday I’m at work but can still do evening check ins and walks, willing to adjust however we can to figure it out together! You just tell me your routine and I’ll do it! Whatever your pet is used to and comfortable with, I will do my very best to fulfill. I don’t mind staying in your home to keep your pet from feeling too stressed out! It’s very helpful if you have their care info written out in advance in some form, so that way I can be sure I’m doing everything they need at the right times! I want to do my best to keep to your pet’s routines to avoid stressing them out!
“Dylan is the guy you want caring for your feline babies- he is professional, prompt and a lover of all kitties. We already have asked him to watch our baby again!”

About: I was a member of Rams for Rescues, a animal shelter volunteering club at Colorado State University. While there, I gained significant experience in caring for our furry friends! I can walk dogs, clean up after them, make sure they are fed and also play with them! I have two cats of my own, and because of this I have experience giving medication. I’m currently a college student looking for a job, and thought that pet sitting would be the perfect fit! I’m super flexible and available most days of the week, including overnights or weekends if needed . I prioritize keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their normal environment and routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any specific instructions from owners. I treat every home respectfully and make sure pets receive reliable care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away!
“Teagan did such a great job with my two kitties. I needed a sitter last minute for three days and she was able to accommodate them into her schedule. One of them needed oral medication, she was such a trooper and amazing at making sure he took them. She sent lots of photos also!! I would 110% recommend her!”


About: I’ve always had a dog in the house for as long as I can remember. I love pet sitting for friends and family, I understand how hard it can be to find a sitter. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I’m currently working part time with a schedule that’s kinda all over the place. I also have practice mon-thur 4pm-7pm and will be returning back to school in August. I have two very playful pups that love attention. I’ve always found love for animals and I think they all deserve someone to play with throughout the day
“Stephanie is an exceptional cat sitter! Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals made us feel at ease during our time away. Marlowe was well cared for, and we received photo updates with each visit. We highly recommend Stephanie's services and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: I am very experienced in the care of animals in general, but especially with cats and dogs. I’ve cared for just about anything with four legs, and a few with less or more. Including farm animals, large birds of prey, and tarantulas. Anything you got that needs care, I gotchu! I will play the ukulele for your pets while you’re gone upon request. 🐾 Right now I'm a full time college student and my schedule is open. A lot of my time is filled with school work and most of it is online so your cats are welcome to hang at my cute little cabin and help me do my homework. Dogs can assist me in my homework from your living room. For my home, I'm in a cute cabin in Manitou from which I will gladly welcome your cats, and will come to you for cat care as well. And dogs, I can take care of from your home.
“Laura was great and was always on time to feed our cats everyday, they’re usually scared of strangers but she made them more comfortable and social than they have been with previous cat sitters!”

About: Hi! My love for animals started early—I grew up with cats and small dogs and have always enjoyed caring for them. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and favorite ways to spend time, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I offer walks for small dogs and drop-in visits for cats and dogs, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and plenty of affection and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for pet care! I can give your fur baby as much attention and care as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special preferences. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own home, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent and giving them plenty of love, patience, and attention while their family is away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manitou Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Springs 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!
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 .
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Manitou Springs with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manitou Springs. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
