Cat Sitting Gilman

About: I love spending time with animals, whether that's an energetic dog looking for adventure or a cat who just wants some good company. I'll treat your home with care and respect while I'm caring for your pet. I bring 35 years of hands-on experience with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so I know how animals think and what makes them feel safe and happy. I grew up with dogs and have had 3 of my own as an adult. I have had 3 kitties of my own and have helped care for many others. For dogs, expect my full attention: walks, playtime, and if your pup has energy to spare, I love taking adventurous dogs out for hikes or even a trail run. For cats, I'm just as happy to slow down — feeding, litter box care, and plenty of quality time so they never feel alone while you're away. Cats have my heart just as much as dogs do! If you want someone active, experienced, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I'd love to help! Dogs and cats are a huge part of my everyday life! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so hanging with the kitty or walking the dogs a couple of times a day is a natural (and favorite) part of my routine. Whenever I'm in your home, I treat your pets like my own — lots of hugs, affection, and real one-on-one attention, not just a quick in-and-out visit. For dogs, that means walks or hikes to help them burn off energy, followed by some relaxed downtime. For cats, it's feeding, litter box care, and plenty of cuddle time or play so they feel just as loved and cared for.

“Taylor was so wonderful. She came exactly when she said she would. She sent us detailed notes about her visit. She loved up our kitty and sent us pictures! We are so grateful.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience watching neighbors’ and friends’ pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. With my active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and care. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions carefully while keeping the space clean and respectful. I give pets lots of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

“I highly recommend Madison! ? This was our first time using Rover and she made it so incredibly easy for us. Our cat immediately warmed up to her and was definitely well cared for during our time away. This pet sitter has great communication skills, was super friendly, easy to trust and was great with our cat. Thank you! ?”

About: Our furry friends give us so much joy, it’s my goal to ensure they are well cared for and loved. I have years of experience with dogs and cats in all stages of life. For years I’ve been a trusted sitter, walker, pet parent and friend to many animals in my life. I am responsible and organized and would love to take care of your pet! I currently work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to provide the care your companion needs. I spend a lot of time walking, training and playing with our sweet pup, Camber! With a young dog at home, my house is comfortable and safe! With my history of pet care I am educated on dangerous foods, plants and toys and am mindful of what we keep in our home to ensure your pet’s safety. I have a large, energetic and friendly dog at home who loves making new friends.

“Easy to book for last minute help. Alex was diligent at coming the same time everyday.”

About: I love dogs! After losing two of my own pups, I’m not ready to be a full dog mom again, however I’d love to care for yours while you’re away. While you’re away you can leave your dog with me and I can guarantee the highest level of certainty and peace of mind. I’ll care for your dog like they are my own. I’ve watched small, medium, large dogs. Dogs that are low maintenance and dogs that need higher levels of attention. If my profile is active it is because I’m either available to watch your dog on weekends or I have extra availability. I can be flexible to your dogs schedule and needs. Currently I am not hosting dogs at my house. Only available for dog walks and house sitting. Again I can adapt to your dogs needs.

About: I’ve taken care of more than just my pets for the past 10 years! My neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their dogs and cats for years. I have walked, washed, fed, and kept loads of furry friends company. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies. I have also volunteered with the SPCA for two years, walking and caring for some wonderful shelter pets. I work a 9-5 with off days on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to get up early and come by late to meet pet needs Making sure dogs have the right amount of exercise, play, and outdoor time is so important to their health, so spending quality time with pets is a priority.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a horse farm in Virginia, surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior dogs who deserve extra care and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether it's a walk or an overnight stay, I'll keep your dog safe, active, and happy. I'll provide walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Corrie was a great pet sitter, even the cat thought so! He doesn’t react to everyone the way he warmed up to her. We felt our baby was in very good hands! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Kiyah 🐾 I’ve lived in the Vail Valley for 8+ years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and dog sitting has become something I genuinely enjoy doing. I have lots of experience dog sitting and house sitting, primarily for homeowners in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch. I’m very comfortable staying in their homes while they’re away and making sure their dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their normal routine. I’m the kind of person who will happily spend extra time on a walk, play outside, give lots of cuddles, or just hang out with your pup on the couch. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, clean, trustworthy, and communicative, and I’ll treat your home and your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🤍 I work full-time during the day, so my pet care fits best around my work schedule. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying in your home and keeping your pets on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the attention, walks, playtime, and care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well! 🐾 Your pets aren’t just a job to me — I genuinely love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and your pets routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or drop in visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they’re used to. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ve spent lots of time caring for pets and staying in clients homes throughout Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch, so I understand the trust that comes with having someone care for both your pets and your home. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have for mine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little checkins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Marissa saved the day. With work commitments & a pup with upset stomach, she dropped-in twice in one day. And despite our efforts, Beacon had accidents, which she kindly cleaned up. No one likes being sick, Marissa shared empathy and is now on Beacon's "keeper list."”

“Melissa was quick to reply to my texts and provided Bulleit with great care! I appreciated the photos along with his report card! I would definitely book with Melissa again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with me. I’ve also worked closely with professional dog trainers with my own dogs, which has given me experience with training techniques, reinforcing good behaviors, maintaining consistency with commands, and understanding canine body language. I’m very attentive to the signals animals give and am comfortable adjusting my approach. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I genuinely love building trust with them. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and attention or prefers someone who will patiently let them come around at their own pace, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. My schedule is currently wide open, as I am searching for a full time job. I am excited to be able to pet sit in the mean time :) I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm attentive to body language and will always respect each pet's individual boundaries and personality. I'm happy to follow your normal feeding, walking, training, and medication routines so your pet has as much consistency as possible while you're away. I'll also be sure to send as many pictures as possible, because I also enjoy receiving those!

“So glad I was able to book Carolina to house sit and take care of Ozzy! Even though Ozzy is a scaredy cat, Carolina persevered! I would totally have Carolina house-sit and take care of Ozzy again.”

“My dog loves guys and she sure loved Dillon. He was able to give her insulin while she ate too. Will absolutely book again with him in the future!!”

About: Want your dog to be tired and worn out after a fun day exploring? Then I'm the guy for you. Hiking and adventure is what our mountains are about and the dogs love it just as much as we do. I've had dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. Your dog and I would become best friends. I've got experience with young puppies as well as seniors. I also will watch cats if you need. Just contact me for more info. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon! I work as a real estate broker and have the flexibility to let your dog out regularly and spend lots of time interacting with them. Yard out back for walks. Daily visits to the dog park and nature preserve half a mile from my house to go hike and play with other dogs.

“Hunter was Great. Out dogs (who can be a bit particular) warmed up to him instantly and they were fast friends by the end of the day. I highly recommend him.”

About: Hello! I was in the service industry for over 25 years, and developed lots of allergies…so I am now the Barktender! I own my own business, offering cleaning, petsitting and other services my commUNITY may need. Very rewarding! Love my life! I am using Rover to fill in the few gaps I have, hopefully outside my home area, to travel more. The winters are getting too long for me, after being in the mountains for almost 20 years. I have been apprenticing under a dog trainer for several years and about to venture on my own! I have experience with some livestock and eager for more experience! I have a thirst for knowledge and learn quickly. I love animals and do my best to treat all the animals as my own. I own my own business and try to schedule jobs to accommodate to your pets needs. I do cleaning, yard work etc on the side and my schedule is very flexible. I can not have pets in my home. This is why I started the business. I love animals and hard to find pet friendly places in the mountains! Your pets are my priority!
