“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“We’ve had wonderful experiences boarding our dog with Katie and Ryan. They are communicative, kind and willing to accommodate our dog’s medication schedule. We received regular updates and photos, and it’s clear our dog was happy and well-cared for in their care. Highly recommend!”
“We needed someone to keep our dog for the night while we went to a concert in Vail. Lola was so happy at Erin’s with both of her pups, lots of walks, a big fenced yard, and another rover pup to play with. We are so thankful and would absolutely use Erin to watch Lola again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and taken care of family and friend’s for decades. I’m an animal lover of all types, but particularly man’s furry best friend! I work remote for a nonprofit and have plenty of flexibility within my schedule. Wednesday and Thursday nights I am unavailable, otherwise let’s chat and find time for your pup. I do not offer care in my home. I will come to you and provide comfort and care for your dog in the environment they are used to, ensuring whatever unique needs they have are met!
“Monica was absolutely exceptional! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Bea, and treated her like one of her own. Every day she took Bea to the lake to play fetch, which was the highlight of her day, and it was clear she received so much love, attention, and exercise. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would gladly book Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding care.”
“They helped out on short notice. Elwood had lots of play time with other dogs and came home tired. Jana sent photos throughout his stay. Very good overnight boarding service!”
“Mike was amazing! Athena had a great time with him and my husband and I enjoyed our time. If we are ever back in Glenwood Springs we will book Athena with Mike again”
“Tania and her daughter took great care of Bandit for a full week. We received frequent notes and pictures. He had a lot of walks. He loved playing with their dogs and was treated like part of the family.”
“Charlotte is a godsend! Our old dog Mocha LOVES being at her house, which makes traveling so much less stressful for us. I can’t recommend Charlotte highly enough.”
“Suzanne was wonderful in accommodating a last minute request for care. She was super flexible on time and pickup and was very attentive. She took Bodee on many walks and adventures while in her care and even sent pics. 10/10 experience and highly recommend.”
“Kaylie and Axel were so incredibly kind to our beagle, Beau! We received daily updates and pictures. He was well cared for and they went above and beyond to take him on extra walks and adventures.”
“Rachel and her family are amazing! They cared for my dog Rosie as one of the family. This was the most secure I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone while going out of town. I wouldn’t use anyone else if they are available to watch her. Thanks Rachel!”
“Elisabeth was great, super accommodating and took great care of Finn, especially as he had some extra needs with some medications. Appreciated her communication and updates as well.”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for my own and other people’s dogs for 25 years...a wide range of sizes and personalities. I’ve particularly been around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, Goldens, Aussie Shepherds, Havanese, Dachshunds, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Doodles of all kinds, and of course many wonderful mixes. I have had dog parties/sleepovers/boarded at my home and for others in their homes. I’m super happy to cater to your pup’s unique preferences...I can make special foods, pop pills down expertly, change diapers, hang out at the dog park, play fetch, hit the trails, whatever your best friend likes best. Making their day makes my day too! I’m currently working seasonally doing gardening, and am very flexible with my routine. Being around dogs and making them happy is something that brings me me a lot of joy! I will follow whatever normal rules established in your home, or bring them home with me to share space with my two small and friendly dogs.
“Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!”
About: I have been dog sitting for my family for many years. I have 4 brothers who all have their own pets and I have been privileged enough to travel around the world to take care of their pets, of all sorts, from within the United States to Europe. I will love your pets as if they are my own and treat them like family. Our pets lives are so short, it’s our duty to give them everything we can in the short time they have. It means more to them than we ever could imagine. I’m a winter season worker. In the summers I tend to enjoy and travel the world. I am mostly in Colorado when I am not traveling. I’m looking for a job opportunity that allows me the flexibility to travel the world. During the times I am around, I am very available and spend a lot of my time exercising or outdoors around the house, I will spend every second with your pet and provide them with all the care in the world. I live in a private home with a nice yard that allows the animal freedom. I am mostly secluded from other people as many of my neighbors are not even around in the summer time. There is no fence but I am willing to spend much time outdoors with your pets, I do not see many cars or people during the day around my home.
“Ducky had the best overnight stay! You could tell she felt right at home — she came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl. I would definitely recommend Carolina to others!”

“Dylan was very thorough and had a list of prepared questions showing she is an experienced sitter. She took excellent care of our kitties. They are very shy since they are rescues, and only really feel comfortable around us. She respected their boundaries extremely well. We highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“This was my second time booking Marin, and she was amazing yet again! She takes great care of my cat and always leaves detailed descriptions about her visits. She’s also super responsive and even accommodated a same day extension to our booking when I encountered some travel delays. Suuuuper glad to have found her to care for my kitty while I’m away!!”
“Suzanne followed all instructions to a tee and even was willing to use her own cat food when the order being delivered was delayed. She was timely in her visits and sent pictures each time. My cats were happy and healthy when I arrived home. Definitely would use Suzanne again.”
“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.”

Seeing all the cuddles and attention made me feel confident my cat was in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve done drop in cat sitting for a family friend. I’m comfortable cleaning a litter box and replacing food and water as well as playing with cats. I also spend time at the Aspen Animal Shelter with the cats, so I’m very comfortable.
“Calvin did a wonderful job with my critter crew! They all loved him! I came home to a happy and peaceful family. He’s professional, friendly and very skilled in home care as well. His daily pictures and check-ins, willingness to problem solve a sticky entry door and monitor deliveries were managed with professionalism and competence. I will be calling on Calvin again!!”
About: As a dedicated cat lover, my passion for feline companionship goes far beyond the basics. I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. Dogs are great, but I’m definitely a cat person at heart. At nearly every place I’ve lived since I was 18, the “cat distribution system” has found me. I’ve taken in stray cats, gotten them veterinary care, provided a safe and loving temporary home, and helped find them their forever families. It’s something I truly care about and find incredibly fulfilling. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with specific medical needs, including administering medications and closely monitoring their health. I also have a senior diabetic cat of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and following care routines exactly. I’m very attentive to cleanliness and comfort. I keep litter boxes, food, and water areas fresh and tidy, and I’m comfortable with nail trims, brushing, and even bathing when needed. Your cat will be cared for with patience, love, and the same level of attention I give my own.
About: Hi, I’m Christina! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and professional pet groomer with 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from tiny pups to giant breeds, and I’m comfortable with nervous, energetic, senior, and extra-spoiled pets too! Your pets aren’t just “pets” to me—they’re family. ❤️ I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of love while their humans are away. With my professional animal-care background, you can feel confident knowing your pup is in experienced and caring hands. I’ll keep you updated with pictures, plenty of attention, and all the belly rubs they’ll allow. 🐶🐾 I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I work at a veterinary office during the week, so my availability varies depending on my work schedule. I’m generally available for evening drop-ins/walks, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. 🐾 Safety, trust & environment are big things in the relationship with your pet care provider. I plan to write everything you tell me down along with making copies to ensure I have all the information on your pet at all times. I also believe in sending plenty of pictures & videos of your pet to ensure that trust is built.
“Chelsea took amazing care of my two kittens while I was gone for the week. Her thorough notes and many pictures and videos made it much easier to be away from home. My cats are particularly friendly and attention-loving which she was happy to accommodate. You can trust her with your pets!”

“Monica was very warm and welcoming. Dropped off the pup so I could spend a day at the hot springs. She was eager to hang out with new people and seemed very relaxed when I picked her up. Would definitely book again!”
About: I love to walk and spend time with pets, they are the best companions. Going for walks with my pet is a joy. I love to play with them and making shure that they have all their needs met. I start my day walking with my pet. When I am home I like to play with them in my fenced back yard. At the end of the day we always go for another walk to the park. I take the pets outside as soon as we wake up. I make sure that they always have access to food and water. Then we go for a nice walk and play.
“Olivia was awesome! She seemed very considerate and loving of our little old special needs boy. It was great to be able to work and play at our conference knowing he was in good hands”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age and I’ve always had one or multiple in my family!! Now I have my puppy named Figgy and we’re both ready to make some new friends and create fun memories with them!! Coming the off season I have a lot more free time, I’m always off in the mornings and my boyfriend is always home in the afternoon so it works out perfectly for having a happy and always accompanied pet :) I try to be as careful as I can to follow a pets routine wether that be in my house or theirs. I think it’s all built from respect and trust.
About: From a young age I connected with dogs and have loved the special bond and relationship that comes with having them as a pet and companion. I currently own a husky so I am used to dogs of all sizes (and strengths) ! I enjoy any opportunity to give my furry friends extra TLC and lots of exercise outside from long walks to hikes on the beautiful trails nearby! I live in Old Town Basalt and can easily travel from Aspen to Carbondale! I'm currently work for myself so I have a lot of freedom and flexibilty to work your schedule into mine! All I ask is for a days notice to schedule and usually we can make it work! I have a fenced yard and a 4 1/2 year old male husky who is very social and loves a buddy to play with! He gets regular walks/hikes and can be walked with or without your dog based on your preference.
“Jana was great! On time arrival, great attitude and our two picky old dogs took to her right away. She sent a couple of photos during the day. Excellent experience.”
“Suzanne is a gem. I found her last minute for day care when traveling for a ski trip. She is absolutely amazing.. flexible and kind and my dog ran into her house every morning without even a care for me 🤣🤣 I cant recommend her enough.”
“Andrea was excellent in her communication with me and my wife. She was very invested in ensuring our elderly dog was comfortable and well looked after during her time with her. This was all done during a last minute booking. Highly recommend Andrea for your pet care needs.”
“Nicole was able to accommodate our last minute request to watch Bucky. She's good with communication and took amazing care of Bucky. We got constant updates with pocs. He got to go on an adventure hike with her and her pup. We'll certainly reach out to her again when we're back in town.”
“Paige did an amazing job watching my two mini Aussies for a day. They went on walks and were clearly well cared for, even though one decided to be shy and was a little more difficult. She did a fantastic job trying to make my shy boy feel safe and comfortable, while also not neglecting my more out going pup. Oh, and she also had two more dogs (her personal dog and one other doggy daycare client) to care for and they all seemed to be loved dearly and treated as family for the day. She was also always prompt communicating during the booking and pre-drop off period, and provided updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Paige and would book her again in the future for my own dogs.”
“Good communication and super flexible. We used Megan for daycare as we hiked close by. Jersey was well taken care of and Megan was flexible with pickup after we finished out hike. Thanks again!”
“Teresa was so great. She sent us pictures and updates and made sure she knew all of Pancho’s need. She was the perfect sitter for what we needed. If we decide to go back and need someone to watch him for a few hours we’ll be sure to ask her.”

“Katie was so friendly and accommodating during our last minute request! She was so sweet and I immediately trusted her with my Pomeranian. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her highly!”
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.
“Sofía was great! She was very communicative and responsive. I love that she took photos of Charro through out his day and she gave me a peace of mind that he was well. Overall, Sofia was very friendly, easy to work with and I really appreciate her care for Charro while he was with her.”
“Nevada took such great care of my timid dog. Her own personal dog also did a great job of feeling mine feel comfortable and at ease. Nevada sent me pictures thru out the visit and was even able to do pick up/drop off”

“Jess does an amazing job with our pups and all the little random messages I send her! She makes me feel such at ease knowing our pups are well taken care of and got their much needed walks and snacks during the day!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my adult life and for part of my childhood. I enjoy walking with them and getting to know their unique personalities. I have cared for my senior dogs and can give medications/shots if needed. We trained our 3 1/2 year old Golden from 8 weeks and he is now very obedient and can be off leash. I work full time early mornings to early afternoon with a rotating schedule. I usually have off 2-3 days per week. I can feed dogs before I head to work and walk afternoons and evenings. On my days off I can take dogs for longer hikes. I have a home with a large yard for dogs to go out in. We live near a dog park and numerous hiking trails. I have 2 tween/teens at home that love caring for and playing with dogs and cats. I can come to your house for drop ins or have your dog stay at my house. If you have a cat, I will come to your home, so they can be comfortable in their environment.
“Marissa is amazing! She is so thoughtful and caring. Our pets love her even our cat who doesn't like anyone other than family. Our cat will sit on Marissa's lap and is excited to see her!”

“Jasper has been a huge help walking our dog, Birdie. She can be very nervous and somewhat reactive around new people, but he has been incredibly patient and accommodating with her. He’s given her the time and space she needs to slowly warm up, which we really appreciate. Jasper is always timely, responsible, professional, and very communicative. You can truly tell he loves animals, and Birdie is in great hands with him!”

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.

“Such wonderful & caring sitters! Destiny and her partner, Cal, watched our old Golden and gave her so much love and attention. They sent us great pics and updates while we were gone. On the last day of our trip a wildfire broke out up near our house. They saw an alert about it on their phone and didn't hesitate to go grab her and take her home with them when they couldn't get ahold of us. I'm so thankful for their dedication.”

About: I’ve had several dogs since I was a kid. Currently we have 4, including one puppy. I’m used to taking care of all dog personalities, like nervous puppies, grouchy old dogs, and hyper pups. I work occasional nights about twice a week from 4:30-10 at a restaurant. I would be out of the house at that time, but I often get cut early so we can further discuss when booking. I am comfortable crating dogs. I am also used to administering pills to dogs and cats, even those who don’t love to take their medication.

I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from small dogs and big dogs to cats, snakes, lizards, and more. There’s truly no kind of animal I don’t love. In high school, I regularly cared for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, which helped me build a strong foundation in pet sitting and responsibility. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for four years, and later continued volunteering at the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri during my undergraduate studies. I also spent time working in the veterinary clinic there, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care and a deeper understanding of health and safety needs. I currently have two cats of my own that I absolutely adore, including a senior cat who is diabetic. Managing their care has made me very attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable with administering medications, monitoring behavior, and following specific care routines. I work professionally in a detail-driven field, so you can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and organized. Whether your pet needs extra attention, medication, or just lots of love, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Since I work remotely from home, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, medication timing, potty breaks, and playtime without issue. Whether your pet needs frequent care, a structured routine, or just some extra companionship during the day, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure they’re well taken care of. Because I’m not rushing in and out for a traditional 9–5, your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm, stable environment. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. In my home, my cats are incredibly well loved and cared for. Like most cat households, they definitely run the show, but I make sure their environment is clean, safe, and enriched with plenty of playtime and attention. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a calm, low-stress environment. I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral needs. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, so I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any changes. In a client’s home, I treat your space and your pet with the same level of respect and care. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping things clean, secure, and consistent with their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for every step of the way.

“We’ve had wonderful experiences boarding our dog with Katie and Ryan. They are communicative, kind and willing to accommodate our dog’s medication schedule. We received regular updates and photos, and it’s clear our dog was happy and well-cared for in their care. Highly recommend!”
“We needed someone to keep our dog for the night while we went to a concert in Vail. Lola was so happy at Erin’s with both of her pups, lots of walks, a big fenced yard, and another rover pup to play with. We are so thankful and would absolutely use Erin to watch Lola again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and taken care of family and friend’s for decades. I’m an animal lover of all types, but particularly man’s furry best friend! I work remote for a nonprofit and have plenty of flexibility within my schedule. Wednesday and Thursday nights I am unavailable, otherwise let’s chat and find time for your pup. I do not offer care in my home. I will come to you and provide comfort and care for your dog in the environment they are used to, ensuring whatever unique needs they have are met!
“Monica was absolutely exceptional! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Bea, and treated her like one of her own. Every day she took Bea to the lake to play fetch, which was the highlight of her day, and it was clear she received so much love, attention, and exercise. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would gladly book Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding care.”
“They helped out on short notice. Elwood had lots of play time with other dogs and came home tired. Jana sent photos throughout his stay. Very good overnight boarding service!”
“Mike was amazing! Athena had a great time with him and my husband and I enjoyed our time. If we are ever back in Glenwood Springs we will book Athena with Mike again”
“Tania and her daughter took great care of Bandit for a full week. We received frequent notes and pictures. He had a lot of walks. He loved playing with their dogs and was treated like part of the family.”
“Charlotte is a godsend! Our old dog Mocha LOVES being at her house, which makes traveling so much less stressful for us. I can’t recommend Charlotte highly enough.”
“Suzanne was wonderful in accommodating a last minute request for care. She was super flexible on time and pickup and was very attentive. She took Bodee on many walks and adventures while in her care and even sent pics. 10/10 experience and highly recommend.”
“Kaylie and Axel were so incredibly kind to our beagle, Beau! We received daily updates and pictures. He was well cared for and they went above and beyond to take him on extra walks and adventures.”
“Rachel and her family are amazing! They cared for my dog Rosie as one of the family. This was the most secure I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone while going out of town. I wouldn’t use anyone else if they are available to watch her. Thanks Rachel!”
“Elisabeth was great, super accommodating and took great care of Finn, especially as he had some extra needs with some medications. Appreciated her communication and updates as well.”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for my own and other people’s dogs for 25 years...a wide range of sizes and personalities. I’ve particularly been around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, Goldens, Aussie Shepherds, Havanese, Dachshunds, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Doodles of all kinds, and of course many wonderful mixes. I have had dog parties/sleepovers/boarded at my home and for others in their homes. I’m super happy to cater to your pup’s unique preferences...I can make special foods, pop pills down expertly, change diapers, hang out at the dog park, play fetch, hit the trails, whatever your best friend likes best. Making their day makes my day too! I’m currently working seasonally doing gardening, and am very flexible with my routine. Being around dogs and making them happy is something that brings me me a lot of joy! I will follow whatever normal rules established in your home, or bring them home with me to share space with my two small and friendly dogs.
“Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!”
About: I have been dog sitting for my family for many years. I have 4 brothers who all have their own pets and I have been privileged enough to travel around the world to take care of their pets, of all sorts, from within the United States to Europe. I will love your pets as if they are my own and treat them like family. Our pets lives are so short, it’s our duty to give them everything we can in the short time they have. It means more to them than we ever could imagine. I’m a winter season worker. In the summers I tend to enjoy and travel the world. I am mostly in Colorado when I am not traveling. I’m looking for a job opportunity that allows me the flexibility to travel the world. During the times I am around, I am very available and spend a lot of my time exercising or outdoors around the house, I will spend every second with your pet and provide them with all the care in the world. I live in a private home with a nice yard that allows the animal freedom. I am mostly secluded from other people as many of my neighbors are not even around in the summer time. There is no fence but I am willing to spend much time outdoors with your pets, I do not see many cars or people during the day around my home.
“Ducky had the best overnight stay! You could tell she felt right at home — she came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl. I would definitely recommend Carolina to others!”
“John is an excellent dog sitter. Super communicative and he was so kind and caring with my dog. He was very diligent about getting my dog out for his walks and sent tons of pictures as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be using John as a sitter again in the future.”
