Angela was amazing to our pups! After every visit, Angela sent us photos of the girls and a little review of how the visit went. She is very loving and kind with our girls, she even left them a little treat at the end of the visit! She was professional and communicative with us, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in both training and care environments, including assisting with board-and-train programs under a professional trainer. This work gave me exposure to structured obedience training, leash handling, and managing dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have also worked with higher-drive dogs, including bitesport and working-line dogs, where clear communication, calm handling, and consistency are essential. This experience taught me how important structure, patience, and reading a dog’s body language are in building trust and maintaining safety. In addition to training environments, I have experience with everyday dog care such as walking, feeding, basic obedience reinforcement, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and balanced while their owners are away. My focus is always on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and understood while providing owners with reliable, attentive care. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I plan my days around bookings so I can be consistent, reliable, and fully present for each pet in my care. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while in their home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and care preferences. For drop-ins, I ensure pets are cared for, have fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention before leaving. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting the walk to the dog’s needs and energy level. I treat every home with respect and understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s pet.

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: Hi 😊 I’m Maru & Mori’s dog mom 🐶🐶 I used to spend every day with my two dachshunds — one is a 15-year-old senior pup, and the other is a rescue baby who came from an abusive environment. They’re currently staying in Korea for a while, and I realized how much I miss the simple everyday moments with dogs — going on walks, hanging out together at home, taking naps next to each other, and just sharing the day 😊 So I wanted to start pet sitting not in a “professional service” kind of way, but more because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and spending meaningful time with them 🫶 For pets who spend long hours alone waiting for their humans to come home, I’d love for them to have a fun, comforting day with a new friend instead of feeling lonely all day :) I work freelance from home, so I’m usually home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention and company. ✔️ Puppies welcome ✔️ Senior dogs welcome ✔️ Shy or anxious pets welcome ✔️ Cats welcome too 🐱 And currently, there are no other pets in my home, so it’s also a good fit for pets who prefer calm, one-on-one attention 😊 🐾 Daycare 🐾 Pet sitting visits 🐾 Boarding at my place 🐾 Walks & playtime 🐾 Photo/video updates 📸 Honestly, I just miss having furry little companions around and would love to spend time with pets the same way I did with Maru & Mori — with warmth, patience, and lots of love 🤍 Feel free to message me anytime 😊🐾 Self employed, and work from home. Very flexible time and availability to care for your dogs. Close proximity to multiple parks downtown and safe walking and bike trails. Able to come to your house as well for dog care! I've lived with two dachshunds in Seoul for 15 years. They recieved two to three walks a day by the Han river and lots of attention indoors during the day. I take care of oets like they are oart of my family

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.

About: I am great with pets and I enjoy animals more than humans most times. I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was in my youth. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as caring for puppies. Dogs bring me such joy. Especially now as I cannot have one where I live. I look forward to the special moments I get to care for your fur babies. I am a trusted pet sitter and I encourage you to view my clients ratings on my profile. I look forward to caring for your fur babies when the time comes. I am a Visual Artist and have most mornings, most evenings and weekends available for your fur babies. I love animals and always try to make time to surround myself with them if & when I can. I make sure pets needs are met! Some say I’m like an animal whisper and have a good connection with dogs. Maybe it’s my positive presence and plenty of love and attention I give them.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Manitou Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Manitou Springs on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,257 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Manitou Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
