“When setting up this booking and meeting with Brianne initially to see if she was a good fit, she was punctual, communicated well, and was both professional and kind. She stayed in my home to care for my two cats for two nights while I was away. One of my cats has asthma, so having someone in home while I am gone brings me great peace of mind. She kept me updated regularly while I was gone, as I told her to please do so. She did great with giving the inhaler and oral meds and attended to my admittedly over the top list of instructions for her stay with kindness and professionalism. My house was clean when I returned and my cats were happy. I absolutely recommend her, but fear it will be harder to schedule with her if the word gets out thats she's so great!”
“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!! :)”
“Dawn took excellent care of my two goldens and my cat while we were away from home for a week. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of the pets. She also left the house sparkling clean! I loved having her here while we were away!”
“Mario was great. This was our first time using Rover and he was very reassuring and provided all the background we needed to be comfortable. He left the house clean and in ordered and our pets did not seem stressed at all when we came home. Will definitely rebook if needed in the future.”
“Excellent job, clear communication. Rycheigh is prompt, reliable, and clearly cares about caring for people’s pets and homes. My 3 dogs are a handful and when we returned from travel they were calm and comfortable after time with Rycheigh. Thank you!”
“Meghan did a great job with our dog and cat, as well as watching our home while we were out of town. She took our dog for walks and did a good job staying in touch. We would definitely have her take care of our pets again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and I recently worked at a dog daycare for a year where I learned everything there is to know about caring for furry babies. Since I have my own pup, I’m used to the everyday routine of caring for her, walking her and playing with her during her sudden bursts of energy. Caring for a furry baby requires appropriate communication with the parents and a detailed understanding of what each furry baby needs. It also involves making the environment fun for everyone. I’m currently out of school and have a lot of free time to take care of your furry baby. I live close to 3 big parks and I love to take long walks with my pup every day so an addition is always welcome. When I’m caring for pets in a clients home I make sure I pay close attention on everything that needs to be done to keep your furry baby safe and healthy.
“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 :)”
“Great communication and took great care of the dogs and the house. Wouldn’t even have known anyone had been here. Also went above and beyond with a few extra requests. Can’t recommend her enough and hope to have her watch the dogs and the house again in the future. Thank you!”
“Dora was amazing with my high energy pup and sr dog, super communicative and helpful! I would absolutely trust her to stay in my home and care for my pets at any time. 10/10- she’s my rover choice!”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11! I have dog sat for many families: I began dog walking and doing overnights for the neighbors around me and my name was eventually passed around to their friends and family. I have experience with overnights, dog walking, feeding, grooming, and drop-ins. I am very reliable and committed to keeping your pet happy and healthy! I have a very flexible schedule this summer! I am working a part-time job at Colorado College and usually have 2 hour shifts. I would be able to check on your pet every 2 hours if needed! I am also in town for the foreseeable future so can do longer overnight pet sitting! In clients’ homes I never remove the pet from where they are most comfortable and try not to take over their space. I listen to their needs and try to make my presence as calming as possible in their home.
“We were gone for quite a while and Alexis did a great job taking care of our dogs, keeping us updated on them and the house, and even troubleshooting a few things for us that came up at our home unrelated to the dogs! This was the longest we’ve ever left them and they were in good hands. We would definitely use Alexis again in the future for petsitting!”
“Nicole is the absolute best!! She is my go-to dog sitter. I can tell from the pictures she sends my Poms love when she baby sits. I get updates and I know my dogs are in the best care with Nicole.”
“Ashton was awesome. She took the time to meet the critters and learn about their daily routine before the date of the pet sitting which definitely made us feel comfortable having her take care of the place. She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and three cats. She sent us lots of adorable pictures and gave us updates on how they were doing while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Maria was beyond amazing!!! She was even able to accommodate and stay an extra day when our flights got changed at the last minute. She kept us updated the entire time with videos and photos. She is truly a gem!!!”
“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!”
“Andrea was WONDERFUL!!! I was worried about leaving my dog since he’s used to me working from home and being with him most of the day, but Andrea spent a lot of time time him and made him feel comfortable! I definitely hope to have Andrea stay at my house again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manitou Springs
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! ❤️
Extremely communicative and handled my dog’s injury so well. He took incredible care of her until I got home and kept me posted the entire time with updates and photos. Would definitely use him again to take care of my pups and recommend to anyone to utilize Rycheigh as a dog sitter
Ashley did an amazing job caring for our dog and two cats during a 10-day stay! Her communication was stellar, and she kept us reassured with multiple photo updates every day. It is clear she truly loves animals, and our pets absolutely loved her right back. She went above and beyond by leaving the house tidy, washing the sheets and towels, and even leaving treats for the pets in our fridge. We had a tiny hiccup at the end of the stay, but Ashley handled it with incredible professionalism, integrity and care. She is a deeply trustworthy sitter who is truly dedicated to doing a great job. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,332 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
- 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.
