Pet Sitting Carbondale

“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!”

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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“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 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.

“Nevada was amazing! She helped us out at the last minute and was very professional and accommodating. We’ll use her again for sure!”

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!

“It was a relief having Maya check on our kitty while we were adventuring without cell service!”

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.
