Cat Sitting 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 ☺️”

About: I have a 8 year old chocolate lab that loves all other dogs. I’ve spent a lot of time with all different breeds, just looking to expand who I am sitting for. Im a crew lead for the USFS here in the valley so my schedule changes from time to time. Can provide care after 5:30pm when working Your pet would be more than safe with me. I can provide socializing with my pup, lots of exercise, and whatever else is needed for them to be happy and comfortable!

“Jasper made sure our cat Mochi was well cared for during our time away. I would use him again!”

About: I grew up with small to large dogs and have had experience with administering medication including shots, as well as wound care and basic behavioral training practices. I currently work a full-time retail job but love animals and am always willing to care for someone’s fur babies when they are away. Working retail means my schedule is never consistent. I mostly work between the hours of 7-7 with the occasional 12-9 or 2-11pm shift. If you have any questions about what times I’m available on a given day check my calendar and reach out! I will care for them by giving them lots of cuddles, playing with them, making sure they have food and water, and walking them to tire them out. I will also make sure they go out at least 2 times a day if not more depending on my work schedule.

“So kind and took great care of my cat. Was able to sit in over Christmas and made extra time to pamper and gave so many attentions. Will reserve again for the next trip!”

“Valerie was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my old sweet dog was taken care of. She even went to 2 locations because there was an error in my updated address that I had provided. She took the initiative to reach out to me and go to the corrected address and take great care her. So grateful for Valerie.”

“Danica was wonderful! She took such great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She was able to connect with our cat who is notoriously shy and can take days to come out of hiding. Would recommend her to anyone, especially someone with a shy/anxious kitty.”

Hannah L.

“Highly recommend! She took wonderful care of my cat and was reliable, kind, and attentive throughout my time away. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and videos she sent after each visit. Seeing all the cuddles and attention made me feel confident my cat was in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”

“Lu and family are professional, communicative and very nice people. My cats, who are very shy, loved their company - I was pleased to see how friendly they were with them. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have one dog of my own that would love to be friends with your fur baby! I have 20+ years of experience, and am extremely active. I listen well to instructions and will ensure your dog has the best walk, time or visit I can provide! I have had dogs ranging from large Bernese mountain dogs like my own to a small maltepoo (my parents dog) who has an extremely sensitive stomach and requires extra attention. I also volunteered at the SPCA in San Francisco for 3 years and the Dumb Friends League in Denver for 4 years which gave me exposure to handling dogs from all walks of life - some of them easy and mellow, others extremely shy and required gentle handling and patience, while others were aggressive and required someone who understands how to calm and work with an aggressive dog. I look forward to working with you and your dog! I’m currently home most of the time outside of running or babysitting (and i will let you know if i have a shift that overlaps w your dog’s care). I can offer house sitting if my dog, Aspen, can come with me. I also offer boarding one dog at a time (or 2 if they are both yours) from my townhome in Basalt willits. I take the dogs out every 2-4 hours and Aspen (outside of when we’re sleeping) and I go on a walk every morning. I will do the same for your pup! I ALWAYS keep my eye on the pups and have 1 other very friendly and lovable Bernese mountain dog who can’t wait to welcome your pet!

“Leigh is very kind and friendly and has great communication! She seems like someone who genuinely loves animals and wants to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the pictures during her visit.”

“Calvin did a wonderful job with my critter crew! They all loved him! I came home to a happy and peaceful family. He’s professional, friendly and very skilled in home care as well. His daily pictures and check-ins, willingness to problem solve a sticky entry door and monitor deliveries were managed with professionalism and competence. I will be calling on Calvin again!!”

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.

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.

“This was a last-minute extra visit we added to the front end of an existing reservation that Laurie was flexible enough to accommodate. She is great as usual and we appreciate her flexibility!”

“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 🐾”

“Suzanne has been fantastic taking care of our cat Dennis. This was the first time we had to travel without our cat and when we came back he was just fine because of Suzanne care. We are now thinking traveling more often if Suzanne is able to take care of our Dennis. Suzanne, thank you for your genuine sense of care for our pet.”

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.

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.

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.
