“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 had pets my entire life and am a devoted dog mom to Pepper. I also have a young child at Basalt Elementary School. Our previous dog was a pug & beagle mix named Hercules who lived to 18. I love animals and would love to check in on your pets or walk your doggies 🖤 I’m currently a stay at home mom and my daughter is in daycare four days per week. I’m available to drop in (check on, feed, & play) with your pets or walk your doggies every day except for Wednesdays. I’m available in downtown Basalt, Willits, and the surrounding area We have a 3 year old rescue named Pepper who we’ve had since July 2025. She spends her days with me at home, running errands, etc. or with my husband at his office. She loves kids, other dogs, and doing zoomies at Arbaney Park. I would be happy to play with your dog in your backyard or take them on walks. Also happy to drop in for feedings or to check in on your fur babies
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.
“Mariah recently came and walked my dog while we were out for a long day with family in town. I will definitely be having her come back! She communicated quickly, took great photos, and my dog loved her!”

About: I am an active, responsible dog lovin’ gal. I have experience with over night care with multiple dogs as well as day time walks, feeding, and going on safe on and off leash pup-friendly adventures. I foster dogs throughout the year and have experience with all ages. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can adjust my schedule as needed based on the hours or care you need for your dog. I am a responsible care provider and have house sat and dog sat for the last 10+ years. I am happy to adjust to your needs in our home or yours!
“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.”

“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 have plenty of experience caring for pets of any type. I grew up caring for cats of my own as well as helping walk, feed and play with family dogs. I can help reinforce training of any animal. I am currently working part time and am available during the week at any time as well as weekends. I prefer mornings or early afternoon. I am unable to care for pets in my own home, however I am happy to travel to any location to care for any and all furbabies.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. One day I dream of opening my own dog daycare. Family, friends have always gone to me for dog sitting, walking and I find great joy in spending my day with dogs. I just moved to Colorado and not sure what I want to do with my career. So I am available during typical work hours, not afraid of early morning. Pet care does not feel like work to me so I will always make time I have an extremely sweet, loving German Shepherd if your dog wants a buddy to hang with. I also am a long distance runner who will take your dog any distance you want. For drop ins I will spend quality time and give quality attention to your dog. If you go with me I promise your dog will thank you
About: I’ve given love to 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!
“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!”

“Christine was very prompt and professional and we could tell she really loved spending time with our Dog Duke. Definitely would recommend to any folks looking for a great dog sitter/walker.”

About: From a young age I connected with dogs and have loved the special bond and relationship that comes with having them as a pet and companion. I currently own a husky so I am used to dogs of all sizes (and strengths) ! I enjoy any opportunity to give my furry friends extra TLC and lots of exercise outside from long walks to hikes on the beautiful trails nearby! I live in Old Town Basalt and can easily travel from Aspen to Carbondale! I'm currently work for myself so I have a lot of freedom and flexibilty to work your schedule into mine! All I ask is for a days notice to schedule and usually we can make it work! I have a fenced yard and a 4 1/2 year old male husky who is very social and loves a buddy to play with! He gets regular walks/hikes and can be walked with or without your dog based on your preference.

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.
