About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand that every animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I’ve worked with pets of many different temperaments, behavioral challenges, and health conditions, so I’m comfortable adapting my care to ensure each pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for. I approach every sitting opportunity with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, while also providing genuine love, patience, and attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I strive to create a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet. I am currently working in healthcare Monday-Friday 7am-4pm so weekdays are best for evening sitting or boarding pets that can handle being alone for that time. I am completely free on the weekends. I am an early riser and love to get out and enjoy the sunshine with a pet but am happy to stay close to home for pet needs. I do prefer to walk on leash as I don’t have a fenced in area and do like to ensure safety of the pets I care for and others around. There is a fenced in dog park a short walk from my apartment to let dogs run off leash if approved by owner. I don’t have any pets in my home so if I am to sit at my residence the pet would be in a secure and private environment. I keep a clean and safe household for all types of pets. I also am respectful and receptive to all household and pet needs on an individual basis.
“Charlotte was so great with our dog. He is usually very wary of new people, but he warmed up to Charlotte and the others in the house quickly and easily. I would definitely feel great about leaving him in her care again.”
“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Paige took such good care of my dog! From walks to runs in the park, and sent so many pictures to keep me updated. So glad I found her, and that Clark got to play with her sweet dog Aspen ♥️ Thank you!”
“Kaitlin was fantastic! Very helpful, accommodating and timely with communication. She sent several photos of my dog while he was staying with her. Cannot thank you enough for caring for my dog, I know he was in good hands.”
“Kirsten (and family) were great for our dogs! They gave them plenty of love and took them on walks. We greatly appreciated the pictures, letting us know they were settling in ok. Our two large dogs can be a bit to handle, but Kirsten was great! Thanks again!”
“Megan was an outstanding sitter for my pup Chai. She was very communicative, drop off/pickup were easy, and she also sent proactive updates (with photos) at the end of each day. It was clear that Chai had a great couple of days with Megan - I would strongly recommend her to anyone else seeking help for their pup!”
“Lauri is a most generous, caring, loving sitter. Stella loved being with her and was taken on lots of nature walks with Lauri's own pup. Lives in a lovely apartment well equipped for a restful, peaceful stay.”
“Amy was amazing with my little Sola. She (& her dog Jackson) made her feel at home with walks, cuddles, and attention, and, me at ease, it being my first time using Rover. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone and their dog.”
“Suzanne was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Henry who has separation anxiety. She sent us pictures along the way. We enjoyed an afternoon relaxing at the hot springs and dinner out and returned to a very calm pup. Will definitely call on Suzanne again!”
“As soon as we met Teresa we realized our dog Oreo is in a great hands. She is happy, caring person , very energetic! She invited us inside the house and everything looked super clean which I love! When we left she sent us Oreo ‘s pictures. She even made a special bed for her. And when we came to pick up Oreo. She was excited, happy and playful , so I could guess she really enjoyed to stay at Teresa’s place! Thank you We will recommend you and use your services again when we are back to Colorado ???”
“Lu and his family were absolutely fantastic. We were in Colorado visiting family and needed a Rover to look after our pups while we were there. I was a bit nervous leaving them with someone they hadn’t interacted with before, but I was quickly set at ease with the way Lu welcomed them into their home. I got tons of pictures and the dogs were happy as clams. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking for a sitter that treats your pets as his own. Thank you so much Lu!”
“Aaron was great. Was able to take care of my dogs with short notice. Great communication and flexibility. Will definitely reach out to Aaron again if I need my dogs to be taken care of. Thanks”
“We’ve had wonderful experiences boarding our dog with Katie and Ryan. They are communicative, kind and willing to accommodate our dog’s medication schedule. We received regular updates and photos, and it’s clear our dog was happy and well-cared for in their care. Highly recommend!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Basalt sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Basalt landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Basalt home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Basalt.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Basalt sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
