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! I am currently off from work on Mondays giving me lots of time then to walk/check on your pups anywhere in the valley then! On Sundays I can walk/drop in on pups in Aspen and the other days I am often available for early morning or evening walks. 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!

“Nick took great care of my cat, let me know how he's doing and sent photos. He's a very friendly and responsible person and I would happily ask Nick to watch my cat again, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.

About: I grew up with small to large dogs and have had experience with administering medication including shots, as well as wound care and basic behavioral training practices. I currently work a full-time retail job but love animals and am always willing to care for someone’s fur babies when they are away. Working retail means my schedule is never consistent. I mostly work between the hours of 7-7 with the occasional 12-9 or 2-11pm shift. If you have any questions about what times I’m available on a given day check my calendar and reach out! I will care for them by giving them lots of cuddles, playing with them, making sure they have food and water, and walking them to tire them out. I will also make sure they go out at least 2 times a day if not more depending on my work schedule.

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer and fall so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! **A NOTE ON UPCOMING HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY** THANKSGIVING Over thanksgiving (11/25-29) I will be camping in Southern Utah with my sister and her dog friendly labradoodle. I have a large truck camper that I will be staying in. If you have 1-2 dogs that need care during that time, I can bring them with me, so long as they are up for hikes and are friendly with other dogs. CHRISTMAS & NEW YEARS 12/23-25 I will be in the front range at my sister's house to celebrate Christmas. She has a friendly labradoodle. I'm open to taking 1-2 dogs with me to stay there as long as they are friendly with other dogs. 12/26-1/1: HEAVILY DISCOUNTED RATE FOR THE FOLLOWING ACCOMODATIONS: My parents and sister will then be visiting me in Carbondale area for the remainder of the holiday since I will have to be available for ski instructing during the peak season. If you need house sitting during those dates, I can do that, but would need to request my sister's labradoodle and 3 adults (my sister and my mom and dad) be allowed to stay there as well. Though I may have to work during a portion of those dates, my family is off of work so there would be minimal times that your pets would be unattended. Feel free to send a request and we can discuss in more details (I will adjust to the lower rates after we discuss). I will be part time ski instructing at Snowmass this winter so I still have a high level of availability throughout Dec-Apr as well. 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 more than happy to take them on walks, hikes, to dog parks, and out for 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 - I have a truck camper (converted from a former ambulance) as my main vehicle. If there is any concern of me parking it on your property for house sitting or other services, let me know and I can park it elsewhere. It is reliable, 4WD and does super well on winter roads, so if you're up a dirt road, I have no concerns about being able to get there. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask! I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer and fall. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, and evening outings for fetch, dog park hangs, hikes, and walks. I can be available throughout the day full-time. After December, I will be part-time ski instructing for Snowmass. I am still available for all the same services but will need to be gone for a longer portion of the day if I'm working that day. I don't anticipate that it would be longer than 6-8hrs depending on how far away the sit is. A note on boarding - this is if you need overnight care for your pet or pets at MY home. House sitting is overnight care at your home or accomodations, sometimes I know that gets a little confusing. I much prefer house sitting in your home as I find that pets are much more happy in their own familiar environment with the all their comforts that they're accustomed to. If you need boarding outside of your home I can discuss a couple of options with you depending on the temperment of your pet and the length of the request. I will always be up front and transparent if I'm able to accommodate the request. 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. I always make sure we are on the same page about your needs and expectations and that I am 100% available and able to commit. Because of this, I have never cancelled on a client after a booking is confirmed.

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.

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.

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!

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.

About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, consistency, and attention. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and maintaining the routines your pet is accustomed to. I work early in the morning, which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the middle of the day when many people are at work. This allows me to offer reliable and flexible pet care, including midday visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs and can often accommodate weekday daytime requests. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before care begins. In a client’s home, I provide attentive, respectful care while keeping their pet comfortable in the familiar environment they know best. I’m careful to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are safe and supervised. I also treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it. I believe good pet care is about more than simply feeding and walking an animal - it’s about providing companionship, consistency, patience, and peace of mind. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable knowing they are in caring and responsible hands.

This was our first time using Tamarah. She was very communicative ahead of time with arranging a meet & greet (it took a lot of back and forth but we got it done). During the booking, she sent simple rover cards with 1 photo and typically no notes, and responded promptly to messages I sent about packages being delivered while we were gone. Visit times and lengths were varied, which works fine for our kitty as we're pretty flexible on meal timing, but may not work for everyone. We'd book Tamarah again as we came home to a happy kitty.

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 :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carbondale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carbondale on Rover is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $56 per visit. 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 244 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carbondale. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carbondale. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
