“Elle has truly been a game changer for our shy goldendoodle. Our pup, who’s usually hesitant around new people, now gets excited when it’s time to spend the weekend with her. Elle’s professionalism and responsiveness make us feel completely at ease, knowing our dog is in capable hands. She not only managed our pup’s medications flawlessly but also created such a bond that we wouldn’t trust anyone else. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I can’t recommend Elle enough!”

About: In addition to owning and devoting my time to pets for decades, I am a retired special education teacher with plenty of love and patience. As a teacher, I provided dog therapy in my classrooms for nine years. I have cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including puppies and elderly dogs with health concerns. I also have experience with chickens. I am retired from teaching, and have thoroughly enjoyed spending more time with animals, while also providing a much needed service to pet owners. As a pet sitter, I offer in home pet care while families are away, and usually do only one job at a time so I can dedicate myself to your loved ones! I am open to pet sitting most days of the week and have had both short and long term pet sitting experience. I offer pet sitting in your home, which means your pets do not need to leave their environment or routine while you are away. I will follow any directions to a T!

About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and lived with many animals of all sizes. I love dogs but I travel a lot and cannot have my own, unfortunately. I try to get my fix taking care of other dogs when I can! I'm a big trail runner, I take my parents dog whenever I can. He is a big river/water dog so I love taking dogs on trails with water access. I always carry plenty of water and snacks for myself and the pup. I love dogs that are high energy and need to get lots of exercise, I'll tucker them out. I can take dogs on long hikes, runs, or even quick walks. I work evenings bar tending and am available most days before 4pm. I prefer to have one dog at a time so they get proper care and I can keep track of them, especially if they are good unleashed on trails. I am flexible and love to house sit as well so I can stay where the dog is comfortable. I like to have fun with the pups! This is for my own enjoyment and your convenience!

“Azul took care of my GSP Tyoga while we were in Crested Butte. It was by far the best Rover experience we have had and I could not recommend her more. Tyoga and I are very bonded and he usually hates being away from me, but with Azul he was extremely happy - and that made me happy!!! You may want to think about taking a trip to Crested Butte just for your dog's sake - he or she will thank you.”

About: I am an animal loving Gunnison County resident who loves getting outside with furry friends and am looking for extra jobs. I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life from Labradors to tiny chihuahuas and would love to care for yours the way I care for my own. I have tons of dog walking experience as well as pet sitting/house sitting experience with birds, cats, dogs and horses from the last 9 years. I enjoy playing frisbee, tug-a-war, running around with dogs and especially love taking dogs on hikes and to the dog park. Contact me if you would like me to hangout and exercise with your dog while you're out and about, out of town, or just hard at work. I work full-time both in office and remotely with flexible hours and breaks to care for your pets during the weekdays and lots of availability on weekends. I have a very friendly pup that loves all dogs, cats and humans. We currently live in an apartment with a vast amount of trails right out our back door.

Salle Ann took a last minute request when my original dog sitter had to back out for an emergency, and she loved my dog as if it was her own and sent me lots of fun pictures and videos from his stay. Would highly recommend!

Angelo was incredible. He took amazing care of Ernie and sent loads of pics and video. I could tell Ernie had fun because of how tired he was when we picked him up. I was able to leave town without any anxiety. Highly recommend him to anyone with a dog. Very kind man. Also the fact that there is even someone in CB that will watch dogs is a massive bonus. The kennels can get expensive and are picky about new pets.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Crested Butte

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Crested Butte is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $150 per night. 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 51 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Crested Butte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

98% of sitters in Crested Butte can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Crested Butte home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Crested Butte.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Crested Butte sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
