“Jasper has been a huge help walking our dog, Birdie. She can be very nervous and somewhat reactive around new people, but he has been incredibly patient and accommodating with her. He’s given her the time and space she needs to slowly warm up, which we really appreciate. Jasper is always timely, responsible, professional, and very communicative. You can truly tell he loves animals, and Birdie is in great hands with him!”
“Came to walk my dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was settled in. Stayed extra to play with her because she had the puppy zoomies!! Even ensure the safety precautions I have in place as far as rooms blocked off were set before he left and I didn’t even ask him! Great dog sitter”
“She was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the booking. My dog was well taken care of and everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
“Such wonderful & caring sitters! Destiny and her partner, Cal, watched our old Golden and gave her so much love and attention. They sent us great pics and updates while we were gone. On the last day of our trip a wildfire broke out up near our house. They saw an alert about it on their phone and didn't hesitate to go grab her and take her home with them when they couldn't get ahold of us. I'm so thankful for their dedication.”

Because my schedule is now wide open, your furry family member will get my undivided attention, love, and care. Let me be your pet's next best friend! I recently left a 28 year career which allows me the flexibility to spend time with your pup. I do like to ride my bike in the early morning, but otherwise free. I can only pet sit at clients home. Interview and requirements regarding your home is requested. Upmost care and respect for privacy is a standard you can expect from me.
About: Hi! I’m Christina, an experienced pet care professional with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a professional dog groomer, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, build trust with nervous pets, and provide calm, patient, individualized care. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, hiking, or simply curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important it is to keep you updated, so you can expect plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free experience while giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full time at a grooming salon in ocean springs, yet my schedule is flexible to be able to take your pet on walks, play time or to be able to do drop in. Safety, trust & environment are big things in the relationship with your pet care provider. I plan to write everything you tell me down along with making copies to ensure I have all the information on your pet at all times. I also believe in sending plenty of pictures & videos of your pet to ensure that trust is built.

Dogs are man’s best friend and they deserve so much lovings!
“Megan has been prompt, professional and reliable. Great communication. Megan just started walking my dog this week, but she and "Nellie" are already great buddy's. It is reassuring to me that my dog is being exercised and cared on days when I do not have the time. We are looking forward to using Megan lots in the future.”
About: I offer personalized, one on one care in a calm home environment where your dog is treated like family. Unlike crowded kennels or busy households, I care for just one household’s dog or dogs at a time alongside my own friendly and well socialized pup. I provide structure, consistency, and lots of love, with three daily walks and plenty of play and downtime. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and can accommodate basic routines like medications, crate training, and slow introductions. I am attentive, communicative, and committed to giving your pet a safe and low stress experience while you are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home, so I am able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks are scheduled morning, afternoon, and evening, and I make sure there is time for play, rest, and companionship in between. Since I only care for one household’s dog or dogs at a time, I’m able to fully focus on their needs and adjust the routine to match their energy level and habits. I care for dogs in my home, where they can enjoy a peaceful, comfortable environment and lots of individual attention. I only host one household’s dog or dogs at a time, alongside my own friendly and well mannered dog. Dogs have full access to the main living areas, and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to bedtime rituals. They receive three walks a day, playtime, and plenty of affection. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can relax knowing their dog is safe and happy.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and years of caring for a variety of breeds since moving to the valley. I’m skilled at handling multiple dogs at once, including those with different temperaments, ensuring each one receives the care and attention they need. I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to travel to provide my services. With some notice I can be available for anything you need! I have one gray tabby cat who is a little timid with dogs at first but warms up quickly and has made friends with several dogs in the past. We are able to separate her in another room if needed. She is not great with other cats but as stated before we can separate if and when needed to ensure comfort and safety for everyone involved! I professionally care for your home property and pets, handling tasks like plant care, mail collection, bird feeders, snow clearing, feeding and medications if necessary, As well as any other duties during your absence. With experience overseeing properties for extended periods, I ensure all needs are met with direct and frequent communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home and your pets are in trusted hands!
“Jessica is SO great! Communication was easy and I felt relieved knowing my pup was well cared for while at work. I will definitely be using her again for walks and housesitting! Highly recommend her services!”
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: My dog Yuki and I have lived internationally in 3 different countries. We have now called the RFV our home since 2020. I work in Aspen and bring my little floof in to work with me, it is a very dog friendly workplace. While living in Dubai I began watching friends and colleagues dogs while they were away; everything from a little 6 pound shitzu puppy to an 86 pound special needs lab. I hated boarding kennels for my own dog and wanted him to be in an environment as close to home as possible to ease the stress of being away from family. All dogs I meet get the same love and attention I give my boy Yuki, which is quite a bit! I am a certified teacher and Yuki is a service dog who assists in classrooms and in child development. I developed an educational framework for assistance dogs in the school I was a founding member of. In Dubai he helped to build responsibility and empathy in my classroom as well as helped to develop confidence in reading skills to children within the school. If you ever need advice on taking your beloved pet abroad, please ask and I am more than happy to give advice on the processes. I work at the Red Brick in Aspen and can pop out to go for walks with your pup during my work day, Yuki my pup comes into the office and hangs out with other office doggos during the day and we are happy to host additional pups. I am in Aspen 9-5 weekdays. I live in Woody Creek just off the Rio Grand trail, perfect place for long hikes. I am very careful with my own dog, nothing that could potentially hurt them is allowed in the house (no grapes, etc.) Fenced in yard so no escaping through an open door. And, all pups are allowed on the bed (I also have doggie stairs up to keep any little pups hips happy).
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Basalt is $30
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Basalt
Kira was awesome, we were in town for a hockey weekend and had a hectic schedule that required some flexibility and driving to two different locations for dog walking-she rolled with us. By the second walk, our puppy could not wait to get to her with his energy and enthusiasm indicating how great she was with him immediately. He even got a little extra playtime with her puppy, so all in all exceptional service we will definitely work with her again the next time we’re in Aspen.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Basalt. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Basalt.

- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
