About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.
“Simon was at ease with Lu instantly. The minute she opened the door I don't think he even looked back at us lol! I could he was having fun and very happy from the photos she sent us. Thank you Lu for giving our darling boy a fun afternoon!”
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.
“Paige did an amazing job watching my two mini Aussies for a day. They went on walks and were clearly well cared for, even though one decided to be shy and was a little more difficult. She did a fantastic job trying to make my shy boy feel safe and comfortable, while also not neglecting my more out going pup. Oh, and she also had two more dogs (her personal dog and one other doggy daycare client) to care for and they all seemed to be loved dearly and treated as family for the day. She was also always prompt communicating during the booking and pre-drop off period, and provided updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Paige and would book her again in the future for my own dogs.”
About: I grew up on a farm in the uk with cats and dogs and all of the animals. I’ve been a life long dog owner and currently have a beautiful McNab called Munro I study from home so I’m super flexible and very present with dog care. I prefer to be able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure we all connect . I prefer clients to have a fenced yard but if not then long leashed walks are also fun! Off leash is good too in the dog parks if your furry friend is good at recall.
“Suzanne was so great; very accommodating of our high energy dog. Our dog was happy as ever when we picked her up and you can tell Suzanne has a real love of animals. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially if they need just a day care visit while they check out the beautiful area!”
“Nicole was able to accommodate our last minute request to watch Bucky. She's good with communication and took amazing care of Bucky. We got constant updates with pocs. He got to go on an adventure hike with her and her pup. We'll certainly reach out to her again when we're back in town.”
“Katie was amazing with Harper! As a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous, but Katie immediately put me at ease. She was so friendly and welcoming, and Harper took to her right away. Katie shared the cutest photos throughout the day, took Harper on multiple walks, and clearly made her feel comfortable and included. Harper came home happy, relaxed, and completely tired out from all the fun—which is pretty much the highest compliment a lab can give. I'm so thankful our first Rover experience was with Katie and would happily trust her with Harper again in the future!”
“We are so grateful Andrea accepted our last minute request. She was great at communicating with us and sent us many pictures of Baloo during his time with her. Highly recommend.”
“Monica was very warm and welcoming. Dropped off the pup so I could spend a day at the hot springs. She was eager to hang out with new people and seemed very relaxed when I picked her up. Would definitely book again!”
“Nevada took such great care of my timid dog. Her own personal dog also did a great job of feeling mine feel comfortable and at ease. Nevada sent me pictures thru out the visit and was even able to do pick up/drop off”
About: I love to walk and spend time with pets, they are the best companions. Going for walks with my pet is a joy. I love to play with them and making shure that they have all their needs met. I start my day walking with my pet. When I am home I like to play with them in my fenced back yard. At the end of the day we always go for another walk to the park. I take the pets outside as soon as we wake up. I make sure that they always have access to food and water. Then we go for a nice walk and play.
“Good communication and super flexible. We used Megan for daycare as we hiked close by. Jersey was well taken care of and Megan was flexible with pickup after we finished out hike. Thanks again!”

I grew up with dogs and rabbits. I have a dog named Ulysses. He is a German shorthair pointer. Your animal will have my full attention and affection. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Hope I can help ! I work at a restaurant in Aspen 3-4 days a week. Usually only a 6-hour shift. Tuesday’s, Wednesdays, and Thursday nights are my fixed schedule but may change.

I take my own dog Ulysses to Crown mtn park, Basalt mtn, or up by Sopris at least once a day. The Rio Grande trail is right by my place as well.
“Olivia was awesome! She seemed very considerate and loving of our little old special needs boy. It was great to be able to work and play at our conference knowing he was in good hands”
“Jacqueline and Brad took amazing care of Pepper while I was out skiing for the day. I am so glad to have found them as an option for future day care in the valley!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Basalt commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 78 sitters in Basalt, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
