Pet Sitting in Basalt

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jessie. She did an incredible job with our cat, Willow, during her drop-in visits. Willow was so excited to see her each day when she came through that door. You know an animal person when the first thing they do is sit on the floor to interact with your pet. The communication was excellent, and we loved seeing the photo updates. Jessie also gave us quick little trip recaps that really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Again, couldn’t be happier with her service. Thanks Jessie!”

“Kaitlin was a wonderful pet sitter for Birdy. She was on time and Birdy loved her! She took her out for multiple potty breaks and even checked her water before she left.”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Melissa and I have a history of taking care of dogs, cats, horses and other animals. I’ve voluneered at dog shelters muiltple times. 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. My boyfriend Scott works during the day so he's at home at night while I'm at work. So, there will always be me or Scott at home with your dog and ours. I live in a 2br 2bath apartment with a small patio. The dog parks close by as well as lots of places to walk around town. 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.

“Reagan was fantastic! Our dogs were comfortable with her the second she walked in the door, and they are normally barky and cautious with new people. She was professional and caring with our fur babies. Thanks Reegan!”

About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets. I am great with detail when it comes to pet care and I love keeping pets happy and active while their parents are away! I am available every afternoon after around 5pm, and I am available all day Fridays-Sundays. I work Mondays-Thursdays, although this varies and I am usually available for walks and check-ins every day after 5pm. I am usually available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog sitting, walking, and boarding. My house has a fenced in yard in the front. I also live right next to a lovely greenway to take the dogs out for longer walks. I also have a bed and bowls for food and water.

About: Hi, My name is Ania. I live in the Basalt/Willits area and am from all over the map so it's not really an option to currently have a pet of my own. Growing up I've had three cats and have pet sat/house sat plenty. Seeing as I've never been able to have a dog of my very own, any pup that does come my way gets treated like my cuiriget pet. I'm very active and ensure that your pups get all the exercise they need and get all of their medications and food at their scheduled time. From the spry little things that don't have an off button all the way to the old ladies/gentlemen that are just looking for some love, I am the right person for your little fur baby. I work full time from Sunday-Wednesday in a dog-friendly environment that allows me to bring dogs to work as long as they are well behaved and do ok with other dogs/children. I also get 3 day weekends which is mostly spent outside enjoying the fresh air. I won't leave your dog at home by themselves if I can help it so we can keep each other company all day. I love to sit on the ground so I can be closer to them when it's time to chill. My apartment is very close to many hiking paths and parks in town. My roommates and I are all pup-deprived and I can assure you that your babies will get all the love in the world, and then some.

About: I have been in the Roaring Fork Valley for the past 8 years. I am a very reliable person, and I am committed to the pet-sitting jobs that I take. I communicate well, and I love to be active - so taking your dogs on walks is something I enjoy as much as them! I tutor students online and in their homes a few hours a week, so my schedule is quite flexible. My weekends I enjoy getting out for hikes or long walks, so I can easily take the dogs with me. I currently am not caring for pets in my home. If my housing situation changes, this may be something that I can offer in the future.

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!

“Mary was outstanding with drop in visits for our kitty. He can be shy but Mary knows how to work with animals and made him and us feel instantly comfortable. Mary was prompt, communicative, diligent and caring. She provided detailed messages, wonderful photos, and the peace of mind that our kitty was in great hands. Thanks again Mary!”

About: I love dogs and don’t have my own due to my rental situation. I grew up with three family dogs so know how to care for puppies to seniors. I’d love to help give your doggo the daily care it needs with walks during the week. It’ll give me a break from being a cat lady 🐶❤️ I work 40 hours a week, typically M-F so walks on weekends or in the evenings are preferred. My job is in Carbondale so I can get to your dog right after I’m out of work if needed. I’m eager to walk dogs and give them the exercise and love they need. Work schedules and vacations can make doggy care tough but I’d love to get to know your pup and keep it company as we get our daily steps in.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Madeline provided for our puppy, Charlie! She was incredibly reliable and communicated with us every step of the way, which put our minds at ease. Madeline went above and beyond when she brought her golden retrievers over to keep Charlie company, and it was clear that she truly cares about the pets she looks after. She was a lifesaver for us when we were in a bind, and we’ll absolutely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I was born and raised alongside multiple dogs and most recently helped raised a rambunctious puppy. While I am new to the professional dog sitting scene, I have helped friends and neighbors with their dog walking and housing needs since I was old enough to take them for a walk on my own. I have part time positions so have lots of flexibility with my schedule! Although my daily routine fluctuates weekly I am very willing to accommodate your pets needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. I understand how important your dog is to you and will treat them with tons of love and keep them safe when with me. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any specific requests for caring for your dogs.

“Calvin did a wonderful job with my critter crew! They all loved him! I came home to a happy and peaceful family. He’s professional, friendly and very skilled in home care as well. His daily pictures and check-ins, willingness to problem solve a sticky entry door and monitor deliveries were managed with professionalism and competence. I will be calling on Calvin again!!”

About: I am currently living in Carbondale, 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.
