“Nicole is an amazing dog walker! I was nervous at first as Kiva gets nervous around new walkers or sitters. She picked him up and took him to the dog park. He loved the walk and the time with her. Nicole was prompt, great at communication and has a really positive and awesome personality . So grateful for her!”
“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”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and taking care of animals has always been something I truly enjoy. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, whether it’s feeding them, taking them on walks, keeping them company, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, however, I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, especially in the morning. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I have one friendly, social dog, who love having company. I always introduce pets slowly and respectfully, and I’m happy to keep your dog separated if that makes them more comfortable. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my priority.
“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!”
“Melissa has been such a huge help with Hatchet! He's so much happier having his daily walk with her when I'm working. She's considerate and responsive for schedule changing and that's a huge plus!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. From dog sitting overnight, to helping raise my sister’s kitten, to taking care of stray dogs in Sri Lanka, to loving on kittens in Vietnam, to volunteering at a horse rescue, I am passionate about animals everywhere I go :) I work full time in Aspen but if you are local I can take breaks during the day to take them out on walks or hangout for a bit. I can help train if needed, or help with walks, feeding, along with plenty of playtime! I’m very active so open to hikes and running as well.
About: I grew up on a small farm with lots of animals, always taking the dogs on walks or keeping the cat food away from raccoons. I've walked many people's dogs across the country of various sizes and ages and love having pets in the home while I don't have any myself. I usually am working from home or gone for a few hours a day. I love waking up and walking the dog outside before starting my day and winding down in the evenings the same way. Walking/outside breaks throughout the day is crucial for me and I love having a pet to accompany me. On the weekend I love to hike in the mountains and enjoy taking dogs. I have a park next to my apartment for easy walks., I'm always attentive to their eating schedule. Pets get a lot of attention and snuggles especially in the evening.
About: Lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter ready to spoil your pup! After wrapping up my formal career, I am excitingly turning my focus to my favorite passion—spending time with dogs. 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.
“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.”
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.
“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've cared for dogs and cats for around 15 years of my life, I have also had 2 dogs and two cats since I was around 5 years old, one before that as well. I have helped out friends and relatives by caring for, feeding, cuddling, giving medication, and letting their dogs out to potty or cleaning their cats litter boxes. I am a huge animal lover and will open all pets with open arms and the best care. I'm currently working part time for the remainder of September and October, so I have plenty of time and love to care for your pets! I think it is important to learn how each owner keeps their pets safe, every family is different. For example, if you like your dog let out only on leash, if you have a fenced in backyard they like to run in, if they sleep in a crate at night. These are all important factors I'd love to know, so your pet is safe and happy. Your dog and or cats safety is my top priority and I will do everything to keep them happy, protected and having fun.
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).
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!
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!

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.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Basalt. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
