“Carolina took care of my beloved Scottish Deerhound for 2 nights. She was very responsive, answered all messages promptly, and sent pictures. This was my first time using Rover-so I was a little nervous but I will definitely use Carolina again! Thank you!”
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.

About: I had my whole life dogs and I had the last 15 years taking care about my own dogs.

“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”

“Highly recommend Stuart! He took great care of our dog while we were away for a long trip- lots of hiking, playing, and interacting with her. Great at sending updates our way during the stay. Our dog is sometimes shy with new people and she warmed up right away with Stuart.”
“Mayra was so thorough with updates and photos while we were away from our pups. She kept us very informed during her stay and kept the dogs happy and exercised during our absence. Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a ton of space for play! We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wolcott walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wolcott maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wolcott choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
