“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”
“70-lb Elsie enjoyed her stay with Janae and her friendly dog. She was offered a big bed indoors (but laid next to it, as usual) and enjoyed exploring the large backyard during her stay. Pickup and Drop off were easy, and Janae responded quickly through the app - highly recommend!”
“Anthony and Samantha were wonderful. Very responsive via text messages and lots of pics. You could tell they really love dogs and I felt my babies were well cared for. Very happy pups!”
“Very convenient location to have our doodle minded while we toured nearby Manitou, Pikes Peak and the COG railway. Rachel and Meg tag teamed to give our Ted a mix of indoors and outdoor activities. We would use them again but we 1500 miles away.”
“Melinda and her husband were awesome! Our dog, Goose, loved them and had an awesome time. They were very flexible and responsive. Highly recommend!”
About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.
“Ashley did a great job helping me feel comfortable leaving Loki with her. This was his first time being left with anyone other than family, so I was pretty nervous, which Loki felt. He ended up having fun and took a long nap after getting home.”
“I dropped my pup Monkey off for a few hours with Sarah while my partner and I went to the hot springs. Sarah had a few other dogs in the house and she let us come in and meet the pack/ watch Monkey meet them all. One of the dogs wasn't thrilled about the new member so we decided it was best to keep the pack split. Monkey had a blast playing with a new friend outside in the yard and inside, and Sarah sent me photos and a video which I loved :) I would definitely trust Sarah again to watch my baby girl!”
“Murphy loved his playtime with Buster and Devon! It gave me time to prepare for a party tomorrow AND bring home a tired pup. They were a great match of energy and that’s hard for me to find with larger group settings and I love him not being 1 of 20 at a doggie daycare where everyone is just going crazy. It’s also wonderful to have someone with ACD/Blue Tick experience. You truly know how high energy and anxious they can be. We can’t wait until next time!”
“Giselle watched our dog Benny and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. From the start Giselle was quick to reply to our request for care and was very flexible. She worked with Benny on his training, took him on a long walk and played with him in the yard. He is a high energy dog and she wore him out!😊 If you are looking for someone responsible, attentive and kind Giselle was perfect. I will use her in the future!”
About: I started my pet care journey fostering for an Upstate SC county humane society. I quickly found a niche helping them care for special needs animals; those with behavioral and/or health problems. I continued for years doing this until Covid and semi retiring in Colorado. This is when I decided to take formal training and received my CACTP. I then began working for two multi state dog rescues specializing in large breeds. I specifically focused on great Danes with Dunbar bite scale and rehab needs out of over 16 dogs. I was able to rehabilitate 14 although most of my formal experience is with large breeds, I do have decades of experience with medium and small breeds. I am very active with any dog in my care. Regardless of the weather, I will always find some form of exercise and behavioral training to work on daily. I am a corporate exec and an aviation consultant working on-site and remotely, here in Colorado Springs, CO. So I am home based and able to care for your pet on a flexible basis. My wife and I are empty nesters who live on the west side near Garden of Gods. I have a fenced yard, however, I frequently take animals under my care to dog parks, on walking trails, out to dog friendly errands/pubs, and/or to private/secluded “Sniffspot” areas with my own monthly subscription. We have no other pets, but have frequent deer and squirrel visitors.
“This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!”
“I can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”
“We can't imagine finding a better sitter! We appreciate that she specializes in small dogs and was available for a meet and greet prior to Sassy's stay. We loved the fenced in deck for taking naps and playing outside, and the trails behind her house for walks. Sassy was anxious when we first dropped her off but Lorraine was able to make her feel comfortable after just a short while. She kept us informed with texts and pictures throughout the day and when we saw Sassy having fun on the walks and relaxing on the deck we were confident we had found the right sitter.”
“We're so appreciative of Devon taking care of Zeus! Zeus always seems calm and relaxed after spending the day with Devon. It puts our minds at ease knowing Zeus is taken care of and has someone to hang out with while we're at work 😊”
“Mariah is an amazing dog-sitter!! She was very helpful with last minute booking. Paloma and my boy got along great. At the meet and greet she told us exactly how Zeus would be spending his day. She listened to all our concerns and information. Drop off and pick up were quick and simple. Her kiddos love and respect animals, I know Zeus got spoiled with attention. And lots of fun play time with his new friend Paloma! We will be booking with Mariah and Paloma again.”
About: All of my experience has been from personal pets and pets of family/friends. My current dog, a 4 year old Samoyed named Nimbus, trained at Under the Sun and is very accepting of other dogs. I also have a three year old toddler who is great with animals. I am a stay at home parent and so I would always be here with your pet. I like to play in the backyard with the dogs and if you are comfortable with it, I could take your dog on leashed hikes. My dog has free reign of the house and yours would as well. If I did need to run a quick errand, then your dog would be welcome to join or nap with Nimbus! I am a stay at home parent for our toddler and so I would always be around. We’re have a 4 year old Samoyed who loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate. if your dog enjoys activities, then they would be welcome to come with us on quick errands and or leashed hikes. I would, of course choose activities based on your preferences. I just want to stress that your dog would be treated like part of our family! I know that I want our dog to be comfortable and happy when I’m not with him and I would make sure that yours is as well. My main focus for care is just spending time with them and making sure they are happy! I have a four year old Samoyed who loves playing in our fenced and secure backyard and going for hikes. If your dog enjoys those activities, we would love for them to join! If your dog is older and needs a more relaxed environment then we are happy to just spend time at home with them! I do have a toddler that is not yet in daycare and so visiting dogs that are comfortable around kids would bee important from our end. We spend many days at dog parks and so our daughter is comfortable and good with other dogs and cats.
“Carla was fantastic with my little Peanut. My pup had the best time at day care. She sent so many updates and was super flexible with his pickup/drop off times. I’d love to have her watch him again.”
About: I grew up on a ranch and have been caring for and been responsible for animals almost my entire life! Animals have always been a focal point in my life. I especially enjoy puppies and have an affinity for training. I have had multiple friends leave their puppies with me to potty train, and I’m always the friend people go to for animal advice! Your animals will be loved and cared for like my own while they’re with me. I am a stay at home mom with 2 animal loving toddlers, so I’m almost always available for care in my home. I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and engage with your pups! I have fully fenced back and front yards, and 2 friendly dogs for your pups to play with if they choose. I also have 2 different sized kennels that can accommodate your dogs if needed. I treat my own dogs and will treat yours like my children, and they are always welcome on the couch for cuddles. I have plenty of toys and activities for them, with an emphasis on mental stimulation. We of course also love playing outside and going on long walks! They’ll always be treated with love and compassion while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou Springs
Ashley watched my German Shepherd and two cats so my family could your the area in the middle of a cross-country move. She was very responsive and great to work with. She handled the animal introductions very well and got my dog to eat, even though Rosie was nervous. All the animals were happy and comfortable.

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 pick-up to match your Manitou Springs commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 716 sitters in Manitou Springs, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
