“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 rescued a stray & injured puppy on a cross country roadtrip and ended up taking care of him and nurturing him into a well behaved, loving, perfect dog. I have lived on a farm my whole life taking care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and bunnies with my mom. I love being around animals they will never fail to entertain, make you laugh, and love you! My schedule is pretty flexible, I don’t work long hours. I have a car and I am very willing to find what works best for pet parents. Very willing to do whatever it takes for parents and pets to feel comfortable and for them to stay in routine. I love my daily walks and would enjoy company if walks are part of the routine! Full protection and attention to fur baby always. Love and flexible care provided.
“Lu is fantastic! He went above and beyond in caring for our dog while we were out of town. His love for animals was evident as he made us aware of any concerns and sent us daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Lu for his exceptional services.”
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.
“Suzanne was wonderful with our pups! Sent pics and was very communicative. Our younger puppy was very calm when we returned for the day (which is rare!) and we’re thankful to Suzanne for giving some love to both of our dogs while we were out. Will definitely rebook!”
“This was a last-minute extra visit we added to the front end of an existing reservation that Laurie was flexible enough to accommodate. She is great as usual and we appreciate her flexibility!”
“Amy gave so much love and care to our dogs. I especially appreciated how thoughtful she was in learning about our dogs. She took notes during our welcome visit and ask a lot of questions. I felt reassured with her attention to details. Looking forward to using her for all our pet needs in the future.”
About: I've always grown up with dogs and have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been house sitting and animal sitting for about 10 years now. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they're still happy while their parents are away! This is a win-win situation for both of us because your dog will be well taken care of, and I get to play with it! All fun aside, I do make sure to pay close attention and take care of each dog's individual needs. Everybody's unique so that will always be taken into account. Let me know what you need and I will make sure to help! I'm also a big fan of exercise so if you've got a dog that loves to run, lets run! I have a very open schedule, most of the time I only work at night and rarely for more than 6 hours. I can usually adjust my schedule as needed. Depending on the dog, I always take extra steps to guarantee that they stay safe. Whether that means taking extra note to make sure all doors to rooms are closed, foods are high out of reach, etc.
“Tiffany exceeded our expectations in every way! She took care of our fur baby and was thoughtful enough to wipe her feet down after walking her in the wet grass. Our pup can't wait to have her over again!”
About: I've had pets for my whole life since i was 8 years old so I have 14 years of experience. I've had cats,dogs,kittens, puppies, hamsters, frogs, and even fish. Taking care of their needs being punctual on feeding times, making sure they get their daily walks, and bath when they play in the mud! I've taken care of senior dogs that need special care such as giving them their medication as directed by the pet owner. I work remotely, so I can be there to make sure your pets needs are met. I love taking care of all kinds of pets. I care for the pets solely directed by the pet owner. I make sure everything is precise, and from the notes the pet owner left. I also ask questions on how to care for the pets if the information was not provided, so I make sure the pet and the pet owners are comfortable and build that level of trust.
About: I've taken care of all dogs since I was 4 years old. My favorite childhood memory was walking my dad's dogs every night with my friends. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets during the week and on weekends too. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, it is a great way to have companionship and walk outside on the many trails around my neighborhood.

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.
