“Kim was able to take my last-minute booking without a problem. She didn't flinch when I described my crazy deaf Dalmatian with her high energy level and considerable high anxiety. Spice went right to Kim when we got there like she'd known her all her life, and Kim said Spice was really good during her time with her. That's unusual for Spice to be that open to new people and new situations. We appreciated the care Spice received while with Kim. We will definitely book with Kim again in the future.”
“Janae has been incredible and a huge help to our family. My 5yr old husky loves spending her days with Janae and her family. We're so appreciative of all of thier hard work and flexibility when it comes to schedule changes etc. Couldn't recommend her more !!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Rosie!! She obviously had a great time, she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up. Thank you for the pictures! You really helped me out more than you know!”
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.
“Samantha was absolutely amazing. Our dog was very skittish when we dropped him off but Samantha made sure he felt safe and secure. I received the cutest updates of his progress during his visit. I would highly recommend Samantha!”
“Melinda was very easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my little dog, who can be anxious around new people and other dogs. I would definitely ask her to watch my dog again in future!”
“Ashley and her family took great care of Steaky. The location was very convenient if you are visiting the area, Ashley was very communicative from the start and I felt safe leaving Steaky with her. Steaky had a great time!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Had a great experience with Tatum! She is very communicative, flexible, and willing to work with our schedules. Our pup has a great time each time she watches him!”
“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 wanted to be able to take Pikes Peak Cog railroad but it was not pet friendly. We where able to drop our dog Lexi off with Devon while we when up Pikes Peak. She did a great job of taking care of Lexi.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mariah was great. Our dogs got along really well and my pup came home happy and tired. Mariah’s communication was great throughout the day and she was flexible with pickup time.”
“Amber was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, and her home felt very welcoming. My dog was happy and quickly made himself comfortable. I highly recommend Amber and will definitely rebook when I'm back in Colorado Springs. She truly is the best dog sitter in the area, offering excellent service at reasonable rates. Rocky looked happier than ever!”
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.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Manitou Springs is $32
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou Springs
Ashley was amazing. So Accommodating it made the whole experience a blast. Mildred felt so comfortable she didn’t even worry about us leaving her she went right along with Ashley. I highly recommend if you are in this area and need her services schedule with her
Devon was wonderful! Being from out of town and unable to meet with a boarder in advance, it was a little unnerving to leave our dog with someone. But from the moment we arrived and met Devon, I was completely at ease. We were able to ride the cog railway up to Pikes Peak and spend some time enjoying Manitou Springs. Thanks Devon!

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, 89% 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.
