Thank you Talon!”

About: My name is Sonia! I have been dog sitting and walking since 2015 and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I truly love spending time with dogs and enjoy everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to long, adventurous hikes and energetic play sessions. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have two dogs of my own: Blossom, my sweet long-haired miniature Dachshund, and Cactus, my playful black Goldendoodle. They have given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable caring for both high- and low-energy dogs and am happy to tailor walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup prefers a short stroll, a long walk, a hike, or simply some playtime and companionship, I’m happy to accommodate them. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and other special requests. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m available all day, every day for the next six weeks! Beginning in late September, I’ll be available weekdays after 2:00 PM and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide plenty of flexibility for your pet’s needs. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or routines your pet has. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets, so I’ll treat both your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“We had an unexpected emergency and needed someone to check on our dogs at the last minute. He was incredibly understanding, responsive, and willing to help during a very stressful situation. He followed all of our instructions, took great care of our dogs, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so glad we trusted him with Zoey and Luca, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole went above and beyond! She feed, watered, gave pets, and even brushed both dogs during her short visit. As requested, she look great pics so we could see how everyone has doing. Great job Nicole!”
About: I have had dogs and cats for along time. First was pomeranian, dachshund, two golden retrievers. One golden(Nala) lived to 13 my other golden (Jude) lived to be 12. I love having a dog. Need time to heal. That is why I would love taking care of your dog. If your fur baby loves to go on trail walks I am your person. I used to walk with my dogs on trails almost every day. Red Rocks,Garden of the Gods, Bear Creek dog park. I own a jeep so dogs are always welcomed. I am retired. I am home the majority of the day. Plenty of time to cuddle,play,walk,ball throwing anything your furry baby would like to do. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room for them to run around and play. I have one cat. Your fur baby would need to get along with cats if boarding in my home.
“Kevin was great! Got back to me right away when I requested him and was very prompt when I had questions. Made sure my boys had their meals and lots of attention and play time. Felt assured with his experience that they were in good care.”
About: I volunteer at Happy Cats Haven and have worked with kittens, middle aged cats, and senior cats. I’ve had two cats and one now named May, I also had two Golden Retrievers. I’m an animal lover and enjoy giving them love and attention. I love kitty cuddles and playing with cats and dogs. I’m free all days of the week. I provide basic cats needs, food/water, litter box cleaning, playing etc. Whatever the fur baby mom or dad needs me to do. Also applies to dogs.
“We're so glad we found Katilyn! She was attentive, communicative, and took wonderful care of Ahsoka and Thorin. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she made the whole experience stress-free. We highly recommend her!”
“Arianna sent photos daily, but ended up being unavailable one of the days I had her booked for and I was informed 45 minutes after the drop-in time, day of. Luckily, my partner was in town and able to stop by to care for my cats, albeit later than they are normally fed.”
“Josh was timely, friendly, and able to coax my shy rescue outside for potty breaks. He was willing to come by the evening before we left, on late notice, to meet and get acquainted with our dogs. Don’t hesitate to pick Josh if you need reliable service from Rover.”
“Lexie was incredible! Our elderly cat is very shy and runs away from most strangers. By the end of the week, she was asking Lexie for belly rubs! Lexie spent a lot of time with her each day, made sure she got all of her medication, and did an excellent job communicating with us the whole time. She even took care of my plants, including several trays of tomato and pepper starts, and everything was thriving when we came home. We will definitely be using Lexie again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals—-dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I’m a very detail oriented person and I love when an owner gives me as much detail as possible in order to take the best care of their baby ☺️ I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds, all sizes and dogs with different needs (helping a dog thru a weight loss journey, anxious shy dogs, dogs that require medication etc). I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs. I’m currently new to the Colorado Springs area and doing gig work, so I can be available to check on your pets anytime throughout the day! I treat a clients home with the utmost respect and only go where authorized or use only what the client tells me to for their pet! I’m very attentive to pets’ safety and I will treat your baby with the love and respect that I treat my own with ☺️
“Anna is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She is on time, cleans up after my dog, always takes her for walks, checks in with photos, and my dog loves her!!! Thank you, Anna, for being so flexible and sweet! 10/10 will always recommend!!”

Bethany takes great care to go the extra effort and ensure your pup is not only cared for, but loved. My pup was new to being without us but Bethany’s kindness and attention to her emboldened us all. It’s a relief to know that with all the things to worry about when traveling, whether my pup is cared for is not one of them. I’d have Bethany watch my pup anytime.
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!

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.

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.
