“Dawn was a wonderful dog and house sitter for me. She communicated frequently and left the house spotless. Pups were given lots of love and cuddles. Thank you!”
“Came home to two happy pups. Jamie is great with our dogs (one a puppy) despite them being a little difficult when together. She updates us with pictures, communicates clearly, and is respectful of our house. Thank you, Jamie!”
“We cannot say enough!!! He sent pics daily of our animals. He was amazing with them!!!! He went above and beyond and we will definitely be using him for all of our pet sitting needs!!!❤️”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
“We greatly appreciated how well Lily took care of our Chex!! She communicated and sent pics regularly which put our minds at ease. And it’s clear Chex liked her and was comfortable as she clearly ate while we were gone (it’s not uncommon for us to come back with a skinny girl from refusing to eat). Also, Lily left our house clean which was greatly appreciated!! We will definitely book with Lily again!”
“Mario took such good care of Tula and Scout. He did a great job of keeping them in their routine and walking them. He respected our home and took great care of it. We highly recommend Mario for pet and house sitting!”
“Brianne was excellent! She sent regular updates and photos without me needing to ask for them, she was on time and stayed until the booking ended, when our flight home got delayed, Brianne offered to watch our pets longer and most importantly I came home to a clean apartment and happy animals. 10/10 would recommend booking Brianne!”
“Zoe was so good with our big boy Ernie. He can be very energetic and a lot to handle sometimes, but Zoe took great care of him. She sent pictures every day and had great communication. Zoe stayed at our home and left it just the way we did. I would recommend Zoe for your next trip away. You will feel comfortable and your pets will feel safe. Thank you Zoe!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog over the weekend and also did an excellent job caring for our home. When our flight was canceled and we needed her to stay an extra day, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Knowing our dog and house were in such capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during a stressful travel situation. Rachel was reliable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would gladly have her care for our dog and home again!”
“Not only did Scarlett watch our dogs in our own home, she left the place immaculate and updated us on everything! My husband and I have two fairly anxious labs, and they seem very happy even though we were gone! I would trust her for all your pet needs.”
“Hanui was an absolute wonder!! She was so caring and attentive to both my senior dog and cat. I felt very at ease having Hanui stay with my furbabies - there’s not many people I trust, but Hanui is one of them!! I highly recommend her!”
“Megan took amazing care of both our dogs and house while we were gone for 10 days! She provided regular updates and was extremely communicative and responsive.”
“Nora was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She was communicative, attentive, and took such great care of them while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for, and we really appreciated all of the little things she did around the house as well. She kept us updated, handled everything that came up with the dogs, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy pups and a house in great shape. We would absolutely recommend Nora and will definitely have her care for our dogs again! ❤️”
“Heidi was so fantastic! My dogs loved her. She communicated well, and took great care of my home in addition to my 2 dogs. I’ll use her again for sure!”
“What I can say, Talon is the best person we met so far over here at Rover! He is calm, has great attention to the details, work well with our furry fellows, provided us some advices how to help our reactive dog, I can keep going and going with all good things. In short, we always hesitate when it comes to another dog sitter but if Talon will be providing service in the future - we wi be definitely in line to ask his help. Highly recommend if you need to have your pups been under great care!”
“Nicole is simply the best! If I could book her for every single pet sitting trip I would! I know when she’s there I have nothing to worry about! I get updates and pictures frequently. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than her.”
“Brittany watched our dog with 1 day notice after a last minute trip came up. I’m so thankful for Brittany helping when we needed it! She took great care of my husky, and called me to notify me when he was sick to ask what to do. Thank you so much Brittany!!”
“Benjamin is amazing! He keeps us updated on anything happening with Harley, asks questions when needed and has allowed us to enjoy our vacations knowing Harley is in good hands. He also leaves our house as good or better than we left. Cannot recommend him enough!!”
“Debbie was absolutely amazing with our two girls, Lucy and Rumi! We were nervous going into this booking because Lucy takes a while to warm up to new people and tends to be anxious/vocal at first but Debbie was so patient and consistent with her that by the end of the stay, Lucy had gone from barking and hiding in the bedroom to a completely zero-bark day, letting Debbie scratch her ears and even walk her on leash. That kind of progress with an anxious dog speaks volumes about how gentle and attentive Debbie is. Rumi, our happy-go-lucky girl, was Debbie's shadow the whole time and clearly felt right at home with her too. Debbie sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, went above and beyond by offering to stay overnight so the girls wouldn't be alone for too long, and even left lights on for us before she left in case we got home after dark. Little touches like that show she genuinely cares. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and total peace of mind. Debbie made it possible for us to enjoy our trip without worrying, and we'll absolutely be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou Springs
My kiddos slept all afternoon which means they must have had fun today. Ashley arrived on time even though I had booked her for an early morning. Her communication was excellent; this was a last minute need and I wasn't as prepared as I had hoped to be, but that was no problem for her. Will definitely book again in the future.
Nora was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She was communicative, attentive, and took such great care of them while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for, and we really appreciated all of the little things she did around the house as well. She kept us updated, handled everything that came up with the dogs, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy pups and a house in great shape. We would absolutely recommend Nora and will definitely have her care for our dogs again! ❤️
Paige seemed to take great care of our two doodles! She sent photos of them daily looking happy and healthy. She was able to follow the instructions for their food, which is a little out of the ordinary from most others. We appreciated her stay and are planning to use her dog/house sitting services again!
Jill is the best!! She took such good care of our dogs, and you can tell she loves what she does. She also has a great knowledge of dog behavior, which was great when introducing her to our more skittish dog. She send lots of pictures of them all snuggling and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manitou Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manitou Springs on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manitou Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Manitou Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Manitou Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manitou Springs. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
