Cat Sitting Carbondale

About: I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and breeds for neighbors and family friends growing up. I love all kinds of dogs and cats, and love spending time with them. I am available starting July 2026 for weekdays 8-5pm I just earned my Masters degree, so currently have a lot of free time in the summer. I am a very thorough pet owner, with timed feeders and water fountains. I have two curious and intelligent cats so I know how to cat-proof a home to keep them safe as well. I plan to apply this into my care of others’ pets as well.

“Tamarah is great! She was quick to respond to my messages, and was so helpful last minute to drop by and take my dog out during the day. I will definitely use her in the future!”

“Lu and family are professional, communicative and very nice people. My cats, who are very shy, loved their company - I was pleased to see how friendly they were with them. Highly recommend!”

“Sara dropped in to visit our pup while we were traveling for the day. During her visits she was very responsive and thorough in her updates. Robin requires some additional attention on walks, Sara seemed while equipped to care of Robin’s quirks. I felt like Robin was in great hands while we were gone :)”

“Jasper took great care of our pup while we were away, and even scheduled an extra last minute visit when our other plans fell through. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs (a rescue and a dachshund) as well as worked for neighbors and friends to help care for their pets while away. I’m have experience with hyper/aggressive dogs (and calmer ones too!) and have also pet sit for puppies. I’m excited to help walk your dog or care for them while you are away! I am home for the summer so my schedule is very open. Reach out to me and I will respond quickly! I am able to care for all types of animals. I am dedicated to caring for your pets in a responsible and thorough way. Whatever preferences you have for your pets activity and rules for in your house will be followed!

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.

“Faith was wonderful… Thank you for taking such good care of our Georgie girl”

About: I have worked with dogs for a few years and grew up with cats. I take care of a lot of my friends and families animals. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am starting the Vet Tech program alongside working at a local vet clinic as well! I am a early riser and will come and feed and let out your dogs. I will be there all night and let them out throughout the night. I am very accommodating. I will not have dogs staying in my home but I will get there early mornings and late evenings to take them out on walks.

“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!”

About: I have grown up with a wide variety of dogs from Yorkshire Terriers to Boxers! I currently have three cats of my own and a German Shepherd Husky mix. I am very good at administering medicine to animals. I am currently working full-time as a high school teacher and my husband is a family physician. So our schedules are fairly the same from 8am-4pm are when we are both away from home. I’m available all day during the weekends to sit, walk, or provide overnight care at your home. During the summer months, I have more flexibility with times. We currently live in an apartment with a pet limit. So unfortunately, we cannot board your pets with us. Happy to take care of your pets in your home so they’re comfortable in their normal environment!

“Laurie was great! She cared for our kitties and gave them lots of scratches and playtime, and shared lots of photos with nice updates. We came home to happy cats and would definitely book Laurie again next time we need a sitter.”

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm happy to take them on walks, hikes, dog parks, and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - In addition to my ambulance camper, I have an e-bike I often enjoy cycling throughout the valley, so parking availability at your home should not be an issue. I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes, or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats.

“Destiny was able to check on my cat during a super last-minute trip. She was very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout my time away. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I started working at a veterinary office in 2002 when I was in my twenties, I was a vet tech and worked in boarding as well. I worked in several boarding facilities and hospitals taking care of dogs and cats that were in the hospital or being boarded. I have experience giving medications, herbal supplement knowledge, raw food diet, preparing cooked foods, bathing pets, leash aggression and I am very tuned into what dogs and cats are communicating. I have experience training puppies and also working with dominant dogs. I'm currently working as a contract worker as a postpartum doula and I have my own herbal business. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being in nature with your pets! Hiking and walking peaks feeds my heart and I love renting my friends dogs to go on adventures with. I can easily care for your pet in your home exactly how you care for them. If they need to be in a crate or walked in a specific area in the yard if there is special needs or request. I also enjoy walking around neighborhoods and parks. I also can offer meal preparation if they are on cooked or raw diet.

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.

“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!”
