“This is my second time having Jessica check on my two cats and it was another great experience. She’s timely, communicative, and the pictures she sends reassure me that they’re in good hands while I’m gone!”
About: I rescued a stray & injured puppy on a cross country roadtrip and ended up taking care of him and nurturing him into a well behaved, loving, perfect dog. I have lived on a farm my whole life taking care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and bunnies with my mom. I love being around animals they will never fail to entertain, make you laugh, and love you! My schedule is pretty flexible, I don’t work long hours. I have a car and I am very willing to find what works best for pet parents. Very willing to do whatever it takes for parents and pets to feel comfortable and for them to stay in routine. I love my daily walks and would enjoy company if walks are part of the routine! Full protection and attention to fur baby always. Love and flexible care provided.
About: I have watched many dogs and house sat for various people as I have been a member on rover for over 8 years. I am very flexible and if you need last minute care for your pets I can help. No matter what size I can help care for your pets. I enjoy playing, caring, and taking care of animals. If you need someone you can trust to be caring towards your pet and your home just contact me. We can then work out a time I can care for your pet! I am currently a part time worker and have lots of availability! I am also an active person who fills my time with outdoor activities so if you have an active pet I can definitely take them along with me. :) I make sure the dog is let out at reasonable times. But primarily I want to ensure the pets are comfortable and entertained under my care.
About: A little about me, I work from home, so I’m around all day to give your pets extra attention. I also love to be outside, so you can expect your pups to get plenty of walks when with me! I have experience watching dogs with a large range of personalities: anxious dogs, older dogs, reactive dogs, and a lot in between. I’m comfortable with pets that have medical needs or unique routines. I also understand how important it is to keep your pet on their typical routine so that’s a main goal of mine when you’re out of town. I also prioritize being communicative, I love to share photos I have taken and updates when I’m with your pup. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extra time with your pets throughout the day as needed. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during both weekdays and weekends. Because of my flexible work setup, I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, walks, feeding, and check ins while helping pets maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets and your home. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while closely following your pet’s normal routines, needs, and instructions. I have experience with pets that have medical needs, behavioral challenges, anxiety, high energy levels, and multi pet households. I’m highly organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing while in my care.
About: I've always grown up with dogs and have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been house sitting and animal sitting for about 10 years now. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they're still happy while their parents are away! This is a win-win situation for both of us because your dog will be well taken care of, and I get to play with it! All fun aside, I do make sure to pay close attention and take care of each dog's individual needs. Everybody's unique so that will always be taken into account. Let me know what you need and I will make sure to help! I'm also a big fan of exercise so if you've got a dog that loves to run, lets run! I have a very open schedule, most of the time I only work at night and rarely for more than 6 hours. I can usually adjust my schedule as needed. Depending on the dog, I always take extra steps to guarantee that they stay safe. Whether that means taking extra note to make sure all doors to rooms are closed, foods are high out of reach, etc.
About: I've had pets for my whole life since i was 8 years old so I have 14 years of experience. I've had cats,dogs,kittens, puppies, hamsters, frogs, and even fish. Taking care of their needs being punctual on feeding times, making sure they get their daily walks, and bath when they play in the mud! I've taken care of senior dogs that need special care such as giving them their medication as directed by the pet owner. I work remotely, so I can be there to make sure your pets needs are met. I love taking care of all kinds of pets. I care for the pets solely directed by the pet owner. I make sure everything is precise, and from the notes the pet owner left. I also ask questions on how to care for the pets if the information was not provided, so I make sure the pet and the pet owners are comfortable and build that level of trust.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I have worked in pet sitting and will always treat your furry baby as I treat my own. The best way only. I work 3 days a week so have plenty time on my hands to help with pet sitting, walking and caring for your furry babies. I live in a pet friendly 2 bedroom condo. I have a cat of my own, who absolutely orders other dogs and cats. We have a very loving home.
“Nadia was great! She was very accommodating with our schedule and took great care of our cat. He has never stayed with a stranger before but seemed very happy and stress free when I picked him up. Nadia also sent pictures from time to time.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Basalt
Jessica was very diligent with check-ins and updates to let me know that my boys were well taken care of! They looked so happy in all of her picture and video updates, she went above and beyond to make sure I knew what was going on while I was gone! Highly recommend as a pet sitter and will be seeing if she’s available next time I go out of town ☺️
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!
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Basalt is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
