Dog Boarding in Basalt

“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks and outdoor time or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor each stay to their needs. I’ve been dog sitting for several years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—getting them outside, keeping them engaged, or just hanging out and making them feel comfortable at home. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long, and I can adjust my schedule to match their routine. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely full-time, which gives me flexibility for walks, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I do travel occasionally, so my weekend availability can vary—my calendar is always kept up to date. I always follow owner instructions closely and try to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible. I pay attention to each dog’s energy level and personality—whether that means active outdoor time or a more relaxed day at home. I’m mindful about safety on walks, introductions to other dogs, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in a new environment.

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.

“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!”

“Willow had a great weekend with Megan! She came home happy and tired. Megan was great at communication, very quick at responding and sending photos. She also handled all of Willows quirks well!”

Gretchen B.

“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!”

Nancy A.

“Our pup has the best time always with Isabel! She provides the best experience. We can always count on Isabel!”

Hannah M.

“Kasey was so lovely and took such great care of our labradoodle. She was very communicative and flexible to our needs. We’d love for her to care for him again!”

Julia S.

“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.”

Elizabeth A.

“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”

Melissa S.

“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”

“Kirsten helped watch my 4 month old puppy, Ajax, shortly after we relocated to Colorado from the Midwest. I had to get back for my cousin's wedding and had spent months stressing to even see if I could find someone that was willing to watch a puppy for a few days. Her communication was excellent and she and her family showed my puppy compassion and patience. She was even willing to work with me as I had to stay an extra night in Michigan due to some unforeseen circumstances. I was just about as anxious as my puppy leaving him for a few days and she made me feel at ease the entire time I was gone. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

Trevor M.

“We needed someone to keep our dog for the night while we went to a concert in Vail. Lola was so happy at Erin’s with both of her pups, lots of walks, a big fenced yard, and another rover pup to play with. We are so thankful and would absolutely use Erin to watch Lola again in the future.”

Landin N.

“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!”

Frances E.

“Melissa made everything so easy and smooth. I knew my dog was well taken care of, in a safe place and in good hands. I highly recommend Melissa to care for your loved ones!”

About: I have been a dog owner for ten years, have plenty of experience watching pets for friends and family, and before that grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals. I have a relaxed, safe household where your dog will feel at home, and you will feel comfortable leaving them while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home, so can accommodate different needs that your pet may have. I’m happy to chat to make a custom plan! I have one friendly and energetic small dog who loves to play fetch. We live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of dogs, our yard is not fenced, but there’s plenty of area around to go for walks on leash.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love all animals. A lot of my friends and family have cats and I have also cared for them too. I love caring for all animals of all ages. I work 4 days out of the week until 5pm but am available otherwise or for overnight stays if needed. I thought working around that may work. I always let the animals come to me to ensure they feel safe and let them sniff me to get to know me. Then going from there I cook some for my senior dog so I am able to offer any special food needs or potty needs since all pets are different. I know animal cpr (learned just in case I also am trained in human cpr). I am very patient with all animals since they are all different and special.

“Marie was fabulous! Our dog, Lannister, had the best time being spoiled by her. Loved the photos and the daily updates. We can’t say enough good about our experience with Marie! We will use Marie again and again!”

“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.”

“I always know our dog, Kiki, is in good hands with Stuart. He gives her lots of loves, hikes with her, and is patient with her quirky personality. Would recommend!”
