“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: 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: 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!
“Tamarah was great with drop in visits for our kitty. She was timely and made sure he had everything he needed and more while we were away. Would definitely recommend. Thanks so much!”
“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 :)”
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.
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 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 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.
“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 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!
“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 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 have had dogs my entire life, also have done dog sitting for neighbors growing up. For a while, I was the manager of a dog daycare/boarding/grooming/retail store servicing any where from 10-50 dogs per day. I’m happy to assist with puppy training, or just hanging out with your senior pup! I have 3 days per week with open availability, and available for overnights in the surrounding area. Let’s discuss how I can help get your pup the care you deserve! I treat all pets as they were my own. I am an animal lover through and through, they all deserve the best, most loving care.
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.

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 :)
This was my first time booking a drop-in visit on Rover for a wedding, and Kaitlin made the whole experience stress-free. She was kind, reliable, and kept me reassured with great communication throughout the process. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I’d highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone in the Rover community!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carbondale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
