“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.

“Joshua was super friendly and was super flexible with timing for pickup and drop off. His property was perfect for Wilbur and I highly recommend his care! Will be glad to have our dog stay with Joshua anytime.”
“Rachel and her family are the best! I know when Rosie is going there she is going to be a part of the family and have the best time. I’m constantly updated with photos and status updates and never have to worry when I’m gone. I’m glad I found them and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my girl if they are available!”
“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
“Suzanne was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Henry who has separation anxiety. She sent us pictures along the way. We enjoyed an afternoon relaxing at the hot springs and dinner out and returned to a very calm pup. Will definitely call on Suzanne 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 had my 1.5 yr old Porty for 4 nights. Went for multiple walks per day , sent pics of him having fun, and communicated thru out. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup, I highly recommend Charlotte., one of the sweetest and nicest humans I’ve ever met.”
About: I work shift work so I have many days off throughout the week. I have a husky, so dog walks are top priority. I have a backyard and a long lead for your dog to run around! I love dogs and hiking, so this gig is perfect! I've had dogs in my life and had the pleasure of helping my friends raise their dogs as well. You can ensure your dog will be safe, loved and have fun when they're in my care! I usually take my dog on 2 walks or 1 long activity every day! The available days ive set, are my off days so I have the ability to be home or close to home if needed! I can take your pet on multiple walks during the day! I have a backyard with a lead so lots of time can be spent outside if theyd like!
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized attention, patience, and genuine care I provide to every dog—especially puppies. 🐾 I understand that puppies need extra patience, supervision, playtime, and consistency while they learn and grow. I take the time to follow their routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is ideal for me, as I am looking for a flexible way to work while doing something I truly enjoy. I love animals and would be delighted to dedicate my time to looking after dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My apartment is small, but it offers a clean, quiet, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and right at home. 🐶❤️ I maintain a calm, safe space with plenty of personalized attention, ensuring that every pet is supervised and well cared for throughout their stay. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each one.
“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!”
“Olivia and Greg were absolutely wonderful. They watched our dog during our two week honeymoon. He was so incredibly well cared for. Olivia sent us photos daily- lots of walks and cuddles. She was always prompt with messaging me. He even was able to socialize with some of their friends and another dog. Our dog has some quirks, but Olivia took them on without any hesitation, and put me at ease. We could really tell they cared for our pup like he was their own, and truly showered him lots of attention. It was so reassuring he was in such good hands our whole trip. Highly recommend! We are so grateful!! Thank you both!!”

“Suzanne has been fantastic taking care of our cat Dennis. This was the first time we had to travel without our cat and when we came back he was just fine because of Suzanne care.

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!

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.
“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: 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.
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.
“Suzanne was very friendly and has a kind soul. My dog was not sure about being in a new place for the 1st . Suzanne took the time to make her comfortable. I would recommend her”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and taking care of animals has always been something I truly enjoy. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, whether it’s feeding them, taking them on walks, keeping them company, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, however, I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, especially in the morning. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I have one friendly, social dog, who love having company. I always introduce pets slowly and respectfully, and I’m happy to keep your dog separated if that makes them more comfortable. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my priority.
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.
“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!”
“Lu came through in the clutch! We were on a road trip and realized last minute that we couldn’t take Marni on our hike because dogs aren’t permitted on the trail, and Lu saved the day. Lu was super communicative, professional, and clearly comfortable with dogs. Marni had a great time visiting Lu’s pack :)”
About: I grew up on a small farm with lots of animals, always taking the dogs on walks or keeping the cat food away from raccoons. I've walked many people's dogs across the country of various sizes and ages and love having pets in the home while I don't have any myself. I usually am working from home or gone for a few hours a day. I love waking up and walking the dog outside before starting my day and winding down in the evenings the same way. Walking/outside breaks throughout the day is crucial for me and I love having a pet to accompany me. On the weekend I love to hike in the mountains and enjoy taking dogs. I have a park next to my apartment for easy walks., I'm always attentive to their eating schedule. Pets get a lot of attention and snuggles especially in the evening.
“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!”
“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”
“Rachel was great to work with and very flexible with drop off and pick up! It was great to see the pictures updates during the day! After picking up my dog Reggie he seemed content and tired which means he had a great stay!”
“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.”
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.
“The best! Our dog loved being with Marina who walked her, fed her, and spent lots of time with her. Talk about a dog lover, Marina truly is someone who cares about dogs!! We couldn’t have done better ourselves.”

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 was so wonderful taking care of our older dog. She great with communication and sending pictures. Very professional and put our minds at ease knowing she was lovingly watching our dog.”
“Alyson was quick to respond to our last minute holiday request which was so helpful for planning. She made time to come over beforehand and meet us before we left. We were very confident that our pups were in good care. Will definitely use her again!”

“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 love animals! I have grown up with dogs, specifically, my whole life. During college, I dog-sat for many families, one family with two Newfoundlands for three years. So I am also very capable of working with big dogs with big personalities! I do walks, playtime, and overnight stays or check-ins. I am a intern at Walking Mountains.

“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: Grew up with goldens, it’s a relationship unlike any other. I’m grateful to care for your furry loved ones. I work remotely, and happy to be as present as you prefer. Let me know how can I be of service :) I write + meditate early in the morning. Work independently so I’m happy to be flexible with specific requests you may have. Early to bed - early to rise. I am not able to offer house sitting at my home at this time. But I feel this is best to maintain a harmonious experience for your pets. I’ve migrated a lot and am quite skilled at leaving a space better than I found it
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.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and years of caring for a variety of breeds since moving to the valley. I’m skilled at handling multiple dogs at once, including those with different temperaments, ensuring each one receives the care and attention they need. I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to travel to provide my services. With some notice I can be available for anything you need! I have one gray tabby cat who is a little timid with dogs at first but warms up quickly and has made friends with several dogs in the past. We are able to separate her in another room if needed. She is not great with other cats but as stated before we can separate if and when needed to ensure comfort and safety for everyone involved! I professionally care for your home property and pets, handling tasks like plant care, mail collection, bird feeders, snow clearing, feeding and medications if necessary, As well as any other duties during your absence. With experience overseeing properties for extended periods, I ensure all needs are met with direct and frequent communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home and your pets are in trusted hands!

“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!
“Joshua was super friendly and was super flexible with timing for pickup and drop off. His property was perfect for Wilbur and I highly recommend his care! Will be glad to have our dog stay with Joshua anytime.”
“Rachel and her family are the best! I know when Rosie is going there she is going to be a part of the family and have the best time. I’m constantly updated with photos and status updates and never have to worry when I’m gone. I’m glad I found them and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my girl if they are available!”
“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
“Suzanne was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Henry who has separation anxiety. She sent us pictures along the way. We enjoyed an afternoon relaxing at the hot springs and dinner out and returned to a very calm pup. Will definitely call on Suzanne 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 had my 1.5 yr old Porty for 4 nights. Went for multiple walks per day , sent pics of him having fun, and communicated thru out. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup, I highly recommend Charlotte., one of the sweetest and nicest humans I’ve ever met.”
About: I work shift work so I have many days off throughout the week. I have a husky, so dog walks are top priority. I have a backyard and a long lead for your dog to run around! I love dogs and hiking, so this gig is perfect! I've had dogs in my life and had the pleasure of helping my friends raise their dogs as well. You can ensure your dog will be safe, loved and have fun when they're in my care! I usually take my dog on 2 walks or 1 long activity every day! The available days ive set, are my off days so I have the ability to be home or close to home if needed! I can take your pet on multiple walks during the day! I have a backyard with a lead so lots of time can be spent outside if theyd like!
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Olivia and Greg were absolutely wonderful. They watched our dog during our two week honeymoon. He was so incredibly well cared for. Olivia sent us photos daily- lots of walks and cuddles. She was always prompt with messaging me. He even was able to socialize with some of their friends and another dog. Our dog has some quirks, but Olivia took them on without any hesitation, and put me at ease. We could really tell they cared for our pup like he was their own, and truly showered him lots of attention. It was so reassuring he was in such good hands our whole trip. Highly recommend! We are so grateful!! Thank you both!!”
“Megan was an outstanding sitter for my pup Chai. She was very communicative, drop off/pickup were easy, and she also sent proactive updates (with photos) at the end of each day. It was clear that Chai had a great couple of days with Megan - I would strongly recommend her to anyone else seeking help for their pup!”
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.
