“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
“Rycheigh, took care of my two dogs for three days. They were well taken care of and happy when we got home. More than anything, Rycheigh made sure he cleaned all the dishes, cleaned the area he stayed including the bathrooms and counter tops. We were very impressed. He is more than a 5 star sitter..”
“Brianne asked questions during our meet and greet to make sure she understood everything my dogs needed. She was patient with my little shy guy, who didn't take long to warm up to her and she was patient with my little old man's needs as well. I appreciated Brianne's frequent pictures and updates. :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter. Kaedon took such thoughtful, attentive care of our boys. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was effortless from start to finish. He was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated. We also came home to an incredibly clean, well kept house, which honestly felt like such a luxury after traveling. It’s clear he treats your home with the same level of respect and care as he does your animals. We would absolutely trust Kaedon again with our home and our pets, and recommend him without hesitation.”
“Nora is the BEST!!! So kind, went above and beyond, and my cat loved her! She regularly sent pictures and updates. It is such a great feeling to know my cat is in great hands when I’m on the road. We are so grateful for Nora and would absolutely book with her again :)”
“Mario is a terrific pet sitter! He made my super skittish pup pretty comfortable. He took excellent care of out pups and home. The house is without a doubt cleaner than when we left. Really just such an amazing sitter. Book with Mario!!!”
“Jamie did a great job dog sitting with our two older small dogs while we were away. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. She was very respectful of our house too. We would definitely schedule her again.”
“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!”
“Dana was great with Rusty. She checked in with us a couple of times a day and sent us pictures to let us know how things are going. We will definitely try to hire her again in the future when we are out of town.”

“Zoe was really great with both of our dogs. Both did not even bark or anything when they met her. It did not even seem like she was here with them, that is how much love she put in to taking care of our home. I will definitely book Zoe again if I can when we go on our next trip 😁”
“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Brianna is wonderful! I recently went out of town and she stayed with my four dogs for the first time and it was a great experience. The dogs adored her, were spoiled with cuddles and walks, and she very respectful of the house. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and followed their feeding and medication needs no problem! Overall, highly recommend Brianna for any pet care needs - she is caring and amazing with animals! 😊”
“Heidi was amazing!! Our fur babies absolutely loved her and we did too! She kept us updated and sent pictures and also took great care of everything! We have definitely found our perfect sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Thanks to Patricia we were able to go away and not worry about our boys. They took to Patricia immediately which also told us that we had made a sound decision to invite Patricia to stay with our special kittens. We received daily updates and pictures, again reassuring us that everyone was safe. Needless to say, the next time we need to go away, Patricia will be our first choice. Thank you so much for taking care of Calyx and Orion. All the best, Nick and Kelly”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! Danielle was incredibly responsive and able to help us out last minute, which was such a relief. She sent tons of adorable photos of our pups while we were away, which we loved. Super responsible, respectful, and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“Meghan was great with my animals! She was easy to work with, was able to help last minute, & was able to handle all their (& my) quirks. I didn't worry about them at all while she was caring for them! I will definitely be booking her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou Springs
We had a great experience with Rycheigh! We originally booked him for about 8 hours while we planned to ride the cog railway up Pikes Peak, but it ended up being canceled last minute due to weather at the summit. Thankfully, we already had Rycheigh scheduled, which gave us the flexibility to pivot and spend the day exploring Manitou Springs and doing a few other things that weren’t pet-friendly. Marty and Simon were happy to see him right away, which always puts us at ease. He also kept us updated with pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated and made it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves. We’d absolutely book with Rycheigh again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and great with pets!
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!
Nora is the BEST!!! So kind, went above and beyond, and my cat loved her! She regularly sent pictures and updates. It is such a great feeling to know my cat is in great hands when I’m on the road. We are so grateful for Nora and would absolutely book with her 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!
We have been using Rover for almost 10 years all over the country and Mary is the best we have had! She house sat with our 2 dogs and cat for an entire week and took great care of all of them. She sent photos and updates daily and left our home in perfect shape! The animals were so comfortable with her and got great exercise in her care! Would definitely recommend for any Rover needs.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,336 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
