“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.”

“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: Friends say I’m thoughtful, responsible, and passionate and I’ve taken my compassionate nature to caring for “dog babies.” I relocated to the valley in November and am eager to make more furry friends here! I had several repeat overnight and walking clients while living in Chicago. Trusted Pet and House Sitting also granted me the opportunity to pet sit a lovely lab and retriever for 2 weeks in Durango, CO last fall. We had a blast hiking amongst the colorful leaves. I’m an energetic go-getter with a heart that craves new experiences, staying active, and intimate connections. If I’m not soaking up community events or doing something fun outside, you can find me painting and crafting at home. I have a flexible schedule working various shifts in the bar/restaurant industry. I can accommodate weekday and weekend needs and keep pups exercised and loved. Pups are allowed to roam the home and socialize and play with my own pup, a 6 year old terrier/shepherd rescue. I typically bring Bob with me for house visits and walks so your pup should be friendly with other dogs. We love to hike, visit the river and play with squeak toys in the house. If your pup is anything like Bob, they’ll move from place to place with short naps, and follow me everywhere.
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: I have been around dogs my whole life! I absolutely love walking, playing and giving dogs all the love and care they deserve. From taking care of my own dog to helping friends and family out with theirs, I am here to help when you need it! During off season I have lots of free time to walk/drop-in/watch your pups! Walks and drop-ins are more limited on Sundays+Wednesdays with the rest of the week being more open. Feel free to reach out to discuss further! I treat every pet like my own and work with owners to make sure they are getting the care they need. Just let me know how to make your pup the happiest they can be while you’re away!

About: A little about me, I work from home, so I’m around all day to give your pets extra attention. I also love to be outside, so you can expect your pups to get plenty of walks when with me! I have experience watching dogs with a large range of personalities: anxious dogs, older dogs, reactive dogs, and a lot in between. I’m comfortable with pets that have medical needs or unique routines. I also understand how important it is to keep your pet on their typical routine so that’s a main goal of mine when you’re out of town. I also prioritize being communicative, I love to share photos I have taken and updates when I’m with your pup. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extra time with your pets throughout the day as needed. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during both weekdays and weekends. Because of my flexible work setup, I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, walks, feeding, and check ins while helping pets maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets and your home. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while closely following your pet’s normal routines, needs, and instructions. I have experience with pets that have medical needs, behavioral challenges, anxiety, high energy levels, and multi pet households. I’m highly organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing while in my care.
“Leigh is very kind and friendly and has great communication! She seems like someone who genuinely loves animals and wants to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the pictures during her visit.”

About: I’ve taken care of personal and friends dogs for 20+ years. I’ve never had any issues with getting comfortable with pets. I enjoy hanging out with them. I work full time, 7-5 essentially. But I’m a bale to get the pups out a few times a day. Always a longer walk around lunch/after work. When I had a dog, they got at least two walks daily. I pet and played with them whenever they needed it/wanted it. Otherwise let the animals kind of do their own thing.
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.

I am a full-time hospitality associate at Restoration Hardware. As I am a fully remote employee, I have the availability to house and/or pet sit anytime during the week and weekends.

About: Hi! I am an RN in Aspen. I have grown up with German shepherds running around my house, so needless to say dogs do not scare me in the slightest. I think that dogs are so special, and they deserve to have the love they share with humans returned. I am an active person so I love hanging out with dogs as a way to make money and have fun. I have experience with basically every type of dog, from Terriers to German Shepherds. Your dogs will be in good hands with me, and I know that I will equally enjoy their company. I am easy to get in contact with and flexible, so please consider me for all of your doggie-realted needs. It depends on my shift schedule - we can work it out together :) I prefer drop in or dog walking but just let me know your needs I care for pets in the clients home, I am not allowed to have pets in my building. I make sure the pet is cared for well in their usual environment
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 grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.

About: I've been taking care of and raising animals since I was a young child. Throughout my life I've owned many different breeds of dog, as well as sat for friends and family pets. I love to play with pets who are willing, or just hang out with them. My schedule is currently wide open for pet care as I've recently moved here from out of state. I can stay in your pets home, or just check in on them throughout the day. I'm currently not offering sitting in my home because I've got an old pup of my own, but I care for others pets as if they're my own. However if I'm pet sitting in someone else's home I follow the guidelines I'm given to the letter!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Basalt
Jessica was very diligent with check-ins and updates to let me know that my boys were well taken care of! They looked so happy in all of her picture and video updates, she went above and beyond to make sure I knew what was going on while I was gone! Highly recommend as a pet sitter and will be seeing if she’s available next time I go out of town ☺️

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!

Marissa was great with our cat! It made such a difference not having to worry about how he was doing while we were gone, we could relax and enjoy ourselves! Every photo she sent we could tell he was happy, and he loved her right away when they met. Thanks Marissa!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Basalt is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Basalt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
