“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!”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Melissa and I have a history of taking care of dogs, cats, horses and other animals. I’ve voluneered at dog shelters muiltple times. I grew up with dogs and rabbits. I have a dog named Ulysses. He is a German shorthair pointer. Your animal will have my full attention and affection. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Hope I can help ! I work at a restaurant in Aspen 3-4 days a week. Usually only a 6-hour shift. Tuesday’s, Wednesdays, and Thursday nights are my fixed schedule but may change. My boyfriend Scott works during the day so he's at home at night while I'm at work. So, there will always be me or Scott at home with your dog and ours. I live in a 2br 2bath apartment with a small patio. The dog parks close by as well as lots of places to walk around town. I take my own dog Ulysses to Crown mtn park, Basalt mtn, or up by Sopris at least once a day. The Rio Grande trail is right by my place as well.
“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!”
“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.
“Destiny was able to check on my cat during a super last-minute trip. She was very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout my time away. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets.

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.
About: I am an active, responsible dog lovin’ gal. I have experience with over night care with multiple dogs as well as day time walks, feeding, and going on safe on and off leash pup-friendly adventures. I foster dogs throughout the year and have experience with all ages. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

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.
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.
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.

I am available starting July 2026 for weekdays 8-5pm I just earned my Masters degree, so currently have a lot of free time in the summer. I am a very thorough pet owner, with timed feeders and water fountains. I have two curious and intelligent cats so I know how to cat-proof a home to keep them safe as well. I plan to apply this into my care of others’ pets as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Basalt on Rover is $22.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Basalt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Basalt. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
