About: I grew up on a farm and ranch with horses, cows, dogs and cats where I developed a love for all animals. I rescued my first dog on my own in 2010 and spent 11 fantastic years with him until he passed from cancer. I have experience administering pet medication and caring for animals with disabilities and illnesses. I am currently staying at home full time with my toddler so I have nothing but time to love on and care for your pets. I live on a wooded 12 acres far from the main road. My property is unfenced so my large dog wears a Halo GPS collar when she is outside. I have a doggy door that exits outside into a small dog pen. I will gladly follow your preferences for leashing and outdoor time with your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours like my own.
About: I grew up with cats (5 to be exact) and a dog. Since that time, I have lived with a dog for the past two year. I have been cat and dog sitting for three years in Durango and in my previous home in Salt Lake City. I love most animals and have a lot of patience and love! I work remotely 9-5 from Monday-Thursday, so I can be home with your pet all day! I can walk them before and after work, and let them out to use the bathroom anytime during the day. My only requirement is a quiet space to work and good internet. I will be patient and loving with your pet. I know it takes time for pets to warm up to new people. I am good at approaching animals slowly and calmly so that they feel safe with me!
“Absolutely wonderful stay for our two cats. Jacek sent us lots of photos and videos and it was fantastic to see how much interactivity our cats had with branches to climb, lots of treats, and plenty of affection. Highly recommended.”
“Monique has taken care of my cats twice, which involves staying at our house. She's amazing! She has gone above and beyond just taking care of my two geriatric cats - I really appreciate the extras she has provided such as watering plants, taking in packages and even fixing a zipper on my husband's backpack just because she saw it needed some help. Thank you, Monique!”

“Ashley has cared for my dog several times at her home for several days and up to 2 weeks and treated him like one of her own. I was glad when I found out on the Rover app that she would also do visits twice a day for my 6 mo old kittens! Ashley took wonderful care of them by feeding them every morning and making sure they were safe indoors and feeding them every night. She also sent me texts and photos for each visit! I highly recommend Ashley!”
“Samantha was available on a few hours notice. I appreciate that, and great updates on visits. My puppy chewed up paper towels and she was nice to pick it up. So grateful for her help.”
“Alta made sure our kitty was well fed while we were away for a couple days. I was worried that my cat might not come out or eat her food, as we had issues with this in the past, but there were no issues. Alta was very responsive and asked questions.”
About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends all through my adulthood. Even when I was a child, I would help my neighbors with their Guinea pig and love birds when they went on vacation. I have 2 rescue animals - a sweet grey tabby named Belly and a wild puppy that we found on the side of the road named Hattie. I work from home in Cortez and have availability in the mornings and evenings. Time for drop ins and/or walks and potty breaks depending on the needs. I can help maintain established training methods and crate your dog as requested. I am fit and enjoy walking and running with dogs to get energy out. I will supervise all playtime.
“This is the second time I have asked Suede to look after my two cats. She has always been responsive, accommodating, pleasant and diligent. I look forward to using her services again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since i was a kid. Raised on a farm i cared for many different animals and pets. As an adult i am a responsible pet owner that treats my own pets as part of family and i aim to to treats my clients pets and homes with the same respect. I have trained and cared for my own puppies over the years and as a pet care giver i have taken care of foster pups, changing pee pads, keeping crates clean and puppies fed several times through the day. For my senior clients i make sure to attend to physical limitations, while sticking to important medication schedules. I strive to treat your home and pets with the same care i would treat my own. Supporting any maintenance activities that need attention while home owners are away. With regular check ins with pet/home owners to ensure peace of mind. I am currently unemployed and working to get a rental property up and running. The project requires minimal supervision. So i am able to support your home and pet care needs daily. In home pet care is managed per pet owner instructions with specific parameters being defined during meet and greets with clients and pets. I will travel to you home to review any pet care and home needs and interact with your pets so that we can see how we all get along. While in your home i strive to keep your pets on the same walking, feeding and medication schedules with occasional day trips with the pets away from the home, with pet owner approval. I check in daily with any updates on how the pets are doing. You can rest assured that any maintenance needs and schedules are kept up with around the home. Watering plants and the lawn, putting out the trash, picking up mail and any other light maintenance tasks that are needed around the home, while you are away. Upon departure i will clean up the house and make sure it left in the same condition or cleaner than when i arrived. Washing any dishes and bedding used for overnights or just keeping your home secure when i leave.

“Very helpful! Kind our fur babies loved her, definitely would book again and she sent me good pictures of them.❤️ They felt comfortable with her presence. Kept me updated on her care as well. 👍”
Kenzie H.
“Kenzie absolutely loves animals, all animals. She has several of her own and she is very attentive to them and she’s also very attentive to other people’s animals when they are around. She’s always loved animals for as long as I can remember she’s always wanted to have her own animal sanctuary. She’s very trustworthy and does what she says she’s going to do. She’s an RN as well, but not working much right now as she’s home taking care of her new son instead of working and leaving him in the care of someone else. She would be an asset and trustworthy when you’re out of town to take care of your animals and check them and love them. I have four dogs, a cat, and horses and trust her completely to take care of them if I’m not around.”
Emily L.
“Emily watched my dog Walnut for two weeks while I was traveling. There's nobody I trust more to make sure he has the most reliable and loving care. She works a consistent schedule and spends lots of time out exploring the outdoors, which made her a great companion for my pup. He got long walks and lots of cuddles, and he's still obsessed with her. She's the first person I'll call next time I go out of town!”
