House Sitting in Crested Butte

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting overnight for many years. I have a golden retriever and we love making new pet friends with all of our clients. Snuggles always included! We can go on several on-leash walks daily and work on leash walking skills. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I am available daily walks and check-ins, as well as for overnight pet sitting any night of the week! You just tell me how you like your pets to be cared for and I’ll do exactly that! Hopefully they like golden retrievers so I can bring my dog along for more play time!

“Anneline was wonderful with my pups! She kept me posted with pictures and my apartment was very tidy and my dogs were happily exhausted when I got home. Highly recommend!”

“Claire watched our pups for a day while we visited ouray. We were able to go for a long hike, enjoy orvis hot springs and have a meal without worrying about our senior girl and our 8 month old puppy. She was sweet with them and I would absolutely book her again if we are in town.”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can give plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup, sticking to a specific feeding/medication routine, or just giving your pet some extra love while you’re away, I make sure their needs come first. When your pet is with me, you’ll get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel at home while you’re away! 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I enjoy morning walks, midday play breaks, and calm evening snuggles. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my routine because I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and cared for. I prioritize safety by following each pet parent’s instructions carefully, from feeding routines to exercise needs. In my home or a client’s home, I create a secure and calm environment where pets can relax. I build trust with consistent care, patience, and affection, and always keep communication open with updates and photos.

About: I’m a former vet tech with 12 years of pet and house sitting experience. I’m reliable, caring, and comfortable with meds, seniors, and pets needing extra attention. I currently work part-time/remotely so I can be around as much as needed for your pets. My schedule is currently open for any overnights and weekends. When pets are in my care, I’m very attentive to their comfort and well-being. Depending on their needs, we’ll enjoy walks, cuddles, or quiet time. I’m there to cater to them fully and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

“Rebecca was incredible! She accepted a last-minute request to stay for a long weekend with Lola, and I am so grateful that she did. Rebecca is a great communicator and made sure Lola was comfortable and happy all weekend. I would highly recommend Rebecca for your pet and house-sitting needs.”

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch raising all types of animals: hereford cattle, dairy cows, horses, suffolk sheep, dogs & puppies, cats & kittens, rabbits, and chickens. I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets. I'm working from home and set my own hours and schedule for getting my work/projects done. I am fortunate to have that flexibility right now and daily am out walking, hiking, or biking. I would be delighted to take your pet with me for plenty of sniffs and exercise! We have a large fenced yard and large deck that dogs love to explore! My husband may join me and your pet when his schedule allows. Regardless, I'm able to be physically present for your pet during the entirety of the time you need me to be. I am completely focused on your pet alone and only allow one pet at a time so they have individually focused caretaking and love!

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!

“Shelby impressed us from the start when she was kind enough to come out for a meet and greet! During our trip she was kept us informed of everything and was incredibly patient throughout the weekend as the door lock, cabinets and even washing machine caused trouble. Your pets and home will be in great hands if you ever work with Shelby!”

“Miles was amazing. Great communication, super reliable, and incredibly helpful with a last minute request. He left everything spotless and took great care of Sienna. Will definitely book again.”

About: I absolutely love spending time and playing with dogs. I have 2 dogs at home in Chicago and I adore them. We go on walks, play catch/fetch outside, go on hikes, and spend lots of time outside. Since I have moved here I am missing so much dog time and would absolutely love the opportunity to meet and spoil your dog in the best ways. I have dog sat and house sat for many people who continue to ask me to dog and house sit when they need it. I am currently employed by a wilderness therapy program where my schedule is 8 days on 6 days off and would love nothing more than to spend time with dogs on my off shift! No matter the age, I am happy to dog sit! I have a 14 year old dog and a 2 year old dog at home, so I have experience with both older dogs and younger dogs.

About: I started out my pet-sitting business by taking care of people's home gardens when they left town. Many of my clients had pets and asked me to pet-sit while they were away. Over the years I have obtained many loyal clients who feel confident that their precious babies are being looked after with lots of loving attention. I am a caregiver at heart and I show my love by engaging with the animals, belly rubs, long walks and by anticipating needs! I take detailed notes of dietary requirements, allergies and other medical conditions and will very carefully cater to every need. I quickly bond with animals since I give my full love and attention and and go above and beyond to make them happy! I always miss the animals when I have to leave them! Thank you for your kind consideration!

About: I have taken care of pets since I moved back to CO and love to get back to helping out families and their pets too. I am currently working part time. My job allows breaks to run home if need be and if not dogs are welcome at my work place. I don’t have a yard but love walking or going to the park. I am willing to stay at a client’s home as well too.

“Hope was a wonderful, professional, and detailed pet sitter. Autumn was basking in the sun happy as a clam when I got home. Autumn has some anxiety and doggy boarding is very stressful for her so it is great to be able to know she is at home way more comfortable and well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring Hope again.”

“Mahlia was flexible, sent pictures and updates during the stay, and overall was friendly and professional. Plus my dog really seemed to like her!”

About: My partner and I have been working with animals since we were kids. Emily grew up on a farm and has raised all sorts of animals, including showing horses. My father is a veterinarian, so I grew up around animals and worked in the kennels while I was in school. We're comfortable dealing with various behavior quirks, giving medications, and we've always got vet advice on call if an emergency were to arrive. My partner and I work at the hospital, but we have slightly different shifts. There are usually only 1-2 days per week where one of us isn't home. When we are both at work, our shifts are staggered enough that we can get home every 4 hours, in addition to morning and evening walks. We are both extremely active people, so our dogs get multiple hours of walking/hiking every day when we're not working. We have an acre of land with two separate fenced-in yard sections, which gives us the ability to divide dogs of various sizes, or those who may be timid/hesitant around others. The lower level of our house has a separate entrance, so there's ample indoor space as well when the weather is too hot/cold to be outside. Pets will be indoors any time that we are not at the house to directly supervise. We walk our dogs multiple times per day, and have trail system access 50m from the house, so we're not reliant on just leaving dogs in the yard for outdoor stimulation.

“Charlotte was the best dog sitter I have used on Rover. She went above and beyond to watch my two dogs Timber and Moose while staying at my house while I went on vacation for 10 days. She was very good at communicating with me about how things were going and put me at ease with pictures and updates. When I came back home both the dogs were happy to see me and seemed so stress free and happy like I had barely been gone. Charlotte took them on long walks and runs and kept my house very clean for my return. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind hearted, and knowledgeable person to look after their pets and/or home!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 10 years old. I’ve always loved caring for animals more than any other hobby. My pets have a very special place in my heart. I am able and willing to watch puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I have a large lab mix who is about 11 that I have thoroughly enjoyed caring for and loving my whole life. I also have 3 cats who I love to spend time with and give attention to. I’ve also cared for geckos, hamsters, chickens, fish and other small animals. Im currently in between jobs, I travel to Colorado every winter to work for a ski resort where I operate ski lifts. Pet care fits into my routine very easily right now, as I’m doing house/pet-sitting full time while in between jobs. When I am caring for pets in my own home I will watch your animals carefully and care for all of their needs. I have a huge wooded yard with access to lots of leashes and 2 small crates. In a clients home, I would do exactly what the client needs/wants and will always respect your property. Some things I offer are feeding, walking, exercising, playing with, washing, cleaning up after, and many more activities depending on what my client requires.

“Skylar did a great job taking care of our pooch and home while we were away. We were able to focus on our vacation instead of worrying about the pooch. They went on multiple walks and our girl seemed perfectly happy upon our return. I really appreciated the pictures she sent us throughoit our trip. Would definitely recommend her services!”
