Marissa was great with our cat! It made such a difference not having to worry about how he was doing while we were gone, we could relax and enjoy ourselves! Every photo she sent we could tell he was happy, and he loved her right away when they met. Thanks Marissa!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jessie. She did an incredible job with our cat, Willow, during her drop-in visits. Willow was so excited to see her each day when she came through that door. You know an animal person when the first thing they do is sit on the floor to interact with your pet. The communication was excellent, and we loved seeing the photo updates. Jessie also gave us quick little trip recaps that really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Again, couldn’t be happier with her service. Thanks Jessie!

About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets. I am great with detail when it comes to pet care and I love keeping pets happy and active while their parents are away! I am available every afternoon after around 5pm, and I am available all day Fridays-Sundays. I work Mondays-Thursdays, although this varies and I am usually available for walks and check-ins every day after 5pm. I am usually available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog sitting, walking, and boarding. My house has a fenced in yard in the front. I also live right next to a lovely greenway to take the dogs out for longer walks. I also have a bed and bowls for food and water.

Jasper took great care of our pup while we were away, and even scheduled an extra last minute visit when our other plans fell through. Would definitely book again!

Reagan was fantastic! Our dogs were comfortable with her the second she walked in the door, and they are normally barky and cautious with new people. She was professional and caring with our fur babies. Thanks Reegan!

About: I’ve given love to animals for as long as I can remember. From dog sitting overnight, to helping raise my sister’s kitten, to taking care of stray dogs in Sri Lanka, to loving on kittens in Vietnam, to volunteering at a horse rescue, I am passionate about animals everywhere I go :) I work full time in Aspen but if you are local I can take breaks during the day to take them out on walks or hangout for a bit! I can help train if needed, or help with walks, feeding, along with plenty of playtime! I’m very active so open to hikes and running as well!

I was overwhelmed with a new 6 month old puppy and was exhausted! My Vet suggested I try Rover to find a pet sitter. I was exhausted. So I connected with Megan and asked for "HELP" Within 10 minutes she relied "I can help." So we did a meet & greet with my dog Cedella at my cabin. The next afternoon I was off to a music gig for 7 hours...and kenneled my dog. Megan arrived at @ my cabin, as discussed, and handeled my puppy very professionally. I had no worries and enjoyed my performance that night. Thank you Megan, I look forward to having you take care of Cedella again soon. GG 🐾

About: Hi, My name is Ania. I live in the Basalt/Willits area and am from all over the map so it's not really an option to currently have a pet of my own. Growing up I've had three cats and have pet sat/house sat plenty. Seeing as I've never been able to have a dog of my very own, any pup that does come my way gets treated like my cuiriget pet. I'm very active and ensure that your pups get all the exercise they need and get all of their medications and food at their scheduled time. From the spry little things that don't have an off button all the way to the old ladies/gentlemen that are just looking for some love, I am the right person for your little fur baby. I work full time from Sunday-Wednesday in a dog-friendly environment that allows me to bring dogs to work as long as they are well behaved and do ok with other dogs/children. I also get 3 day weekends which is mostly spent outside enjoying the fresh air. I won't leave your dog at home by themselves if I can help it so we can keep each other company all day. I love to sit on the ground so I can be closer to them when it's time to chill. My apartment is very close to many hiking paths and parks in town. My roommates and I are all pup-deprived and I can assure you that your babies will get all the love in the world, and then some.

About: I am currently living in Glenwood Springs, CO living for the outdoor adventures! I love getting to bring Leo on outdoor adventures with me and would treat your fur baby like my own with lots of love and fun adventures. I decided to get into dog sitting because I’m looking for some side work and what better way to spend my time then with more sweet furry friends! In my personal experience, I have had a wide range of different kinds of pets, such as chickens, lizards, hamsters, cats, and dogs. In my professional life with animal handling, I had the most incredible experience in the past in Colorado to be a part-time dog handler for sled dogs. I have also done a good amount of dog sitting for friends in the past. I can't wait to help out and make some new furry friends and maybe go on an outdoor adventure too! I do work full time but have flexibility in my daily schedule and have weekends open. Just as I treat my dog, I always prioritize a good healthy route and would do the same for your pet. I have a regular route with my dog and would treat and care for anyone else’s pets the same! I understand the importance of a safe and loving experience for your pets as I look for the same for my dog when I’m away. I have a lot of country land I live at with a grassy backyard.

Yazmin was so nice and communicated with me every step of the way. I had peace of mind when I wasn’t home because she would send me updates, pictures, and videos of my kitties... I came home to happy and well fed kitties. I would most definitely book Yazmin again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker for their pets!

About: I love dogs and don’t have my own due to my rental situation. I grew up with three family dogs so know how to care for puppies to seniors. I’d love to help give your doggo the daily care it needs with walks during the week. It’ll give me a break from being a cat lady 🐶❤️ I work 40 hours a week, typically M-F so walks on weekends or in the evenings are preferred. My job is in Carbondale so I can get to your dog right after I’m out of work if needed. I’m eager to walk dogs and give them the exercise and love they need. Work schedules and vacations can make doggy care tough but I’d love to get to know your pup and keep it company as we get our daily steps in.

About: I was born and raised alongside multiple dogs and most recently helped raised a rambunctious puppy. While I am new to the professional dog sitting scene, I have helped friends and neighbors with their dog walking and housing needs since I was old enough to take them for a walk on my own. I have part time positions so have lots of flexibility with my schedule! Although my daily routine fluctuates weekly I am very willing to accommodate your pets needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. I understand how important your dog is to you and will treat them with tons of love and keep them safe when with me. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any specific requests for caring for your dogs.
