Pet Sitting in Cortez

“We love having Andy housesit for us and our two dogs, cat, and reptiles! He’s reliable, punctual, and does a great job communicating with us while we’re away. We get lots of updates which is great when we’re missing our pets! One of our dogs is pretty high energy with lots of anxiety and quirks, and Andy easily earned his trust and takes the time to follow our very detailed instructions for taking care of him. We never have to worry about the animals when they’re in Andy’s care. Andy is our favorite house sitter ever, and I can assure you that you’ll feel at ease having him taking care of your pets!”

“Words cannot express how thankful my family and I are to Deb. We had booked with a previous sitter who canceled on us last minute, and we could not change our vacation plans. I sent a message to Deb requesting care for our puppy, she responded within minutes was able to accept our last minute booking. She went to our home, packed up our dog, all his favorite toys, belongings and brought him to her home. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the day, took him on, walks, spoiled him, and loved him like he was her own. Our family was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was being well taken care of by such a loving sitter. I cannot recommend Deb enough! Thank you, Deb!!”

“Sierra did a great job dealing with my antisocial Sunny. She's a one person cat. When I got back she was mad at me but well fed and healthy. I appreciate the way Sierra followed my instructions.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own a Labrador retriever and a shelter rescue terrier. Also 2 rescue cats I have forests, trails, and water bodies near me. I intend to keep the dogs active and outside during the day. Dogs enjoy open space, and exploration. I have a 4runner with plenty of room to do activities with dog/s. I can also feed the dog any special diet, or medications. I have a mountain and dirt bike if your dog is a runner and wants to be tired when given back to owner. My dogs are well trained and are good dog citizens. You can be sure that I will exercise your dog well and take care of them like my own. thanks for reading. I have an outdoor space for dogs overlooking Mesa Verde and building a dog agility course. on obstacle 3. I have a separate room for cats with litter box, food, water and a cottonwood cat house, and cat can stay in one room by themselves if they are scarred of new place etc. I do dog care full time. 7 years of experience with Rover, no accidents or incidents of dogs getting hurt or lost. Dogs are inside house at night. I have a yard primarily setup for dog care. Dog houses, tether poles, set up like a community so dogs stay close to each other.

“Debbie took good care of my two indoor cats at my location while I was away for 4 days. She met with me ahead of time so I could orient her to my requests. She also supported us with other tasks such as bringing in packages that were delivered. My cats seemed well cared for and I'll definitely reach out to her again.”

“Mark was great! My buddy Apollo really appreciates it when Mark comes over when we are out.”

“Ashley was great, I just moved to the area and saw how many positive reviews she had and we definitely made the best choice. The pups looked very happy in the photos and I know they had tons of fun with her. Will surely be booking again for sure.”

About: I was a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and pet sitter for the past 15 years! My experience provides each customer trust and comfort leaving their babies in my care! I am currently working part time from home, so I will have plenty of time for caring/playing with your baby. I am available for all of your pet sitting needs! I can watch your pet in the comfort of their home with frequent visits or I offer my home for boarding with 24 hour care.

“Liz is great! Super passionate about dogs and only wants what's best for your pup. Her experience working at a doggy day care really shines thru when taking care of your four-legged best friend!”

“Monique is a great sitter! As soon as I met her, I could tell she loved animals, was responsible, trustworthy, and our fur babies were in good hands. It really made it possible to actually relax knowing she was dropping in. My dog loved her from the second he met her and he's a great judge of character. Will be hiring her again.”

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was 11. From the neighbors' horses to cats and dogs of family and friends, even turtles and fish. I provide scheduled feedings, brushing and bathing, daily walks, play time, and scheduled medication. I currently work part-time, morning through afternoon. In the early morning, I will feed, play with them, and prepare medicine (if needed). If there is a fenced area around the house and if the dogs are allowed outside, I'll secure the permeameter, leave an appropriate amount of food and water for them, and leash them (if required) so they can do their business and get fresh air. For inside animals, I'll prepare necessities (food, water, medicine etc.) and take them outside to do business (for dogs). In the evenings, I will feed, walk, play, and prepare animals for bed. If required I also provide overnight and weekend sitting. Depending on the type of pet, I'll schedule morning and evening feedings along with any medication prep needed. Give them plenty of time outside to play and do their business. (Walks would be included for dogs.) Then, bring the animals inside and make sure they had everything they needed before leaving for work. If the house has a fenced off area, I would see that everything was secure before letting any dogs outside.

“Kailey is wonderful with dogs. Her love for animals shows through her patience & dedication when caring for pets. My furbabies adore her, she's the only person I trust to care for them!”

“Megan (and Ryan!) did an incredible job watching our 3 cats for a week! We are so freaking grateful to have found them, they were trustworthy, responsible and kind, and went above and beyond to keep our cats happy and above and beyond in keeping us reassured while we were away. Megan sent lots of pictures and stayed in excellent communication, and eased all my crazy cat-mom nerves! Our cats were so well cared for they didn’t even notice our return ? Would definitely recommend using them for your pet care needs, and will definitely be rebooking with them in the future! Thank you so much again, Megan and Ryan!!!”

“I recommend Jack as a sitter, he is very attentive and loves pets very much. He is always looking out for what they need so they are well.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and enjoying being in the mountains with the pups. I’m very active outside and enjoy trail running, hiking and backpacking with the dogs I have had. I have lots of training experience from raising my own well behaved adaptable dogs. Currently I have a three month year old puppy named Haku. I care greatly about the health and wellbeing of my dogs. I try and give love, attention, purpose exercise and a healthy diet to my dogs and any dog I am caring for! I am currently working part time, so I have lots of time to walk and care for a dog. Due to my current living situation ( just being very small without a fenced in yard) I can only walk dogs and do home visits! I always will make sure to have a leash on and treats and water on hand for any adventure- be it a trip to the dog park of a 6 mile hike around dunes above Aztec. Once it starts getting warmer I will be happy to adjust when and where I may take your dog hiking. I live close to Navajo lake or Farmington lake and can bring dogs to both to cool off. I’m also happy and willing to drive up to the mountains for some cooler weather walking. I have a truck and will be well equipped with water and food for day adventures. For home visits I’m very accommodating and respectful.

About: I have had dogs of my own since birth and have 4 now that I’m an adult. I love my fur babies and would love to help with yours! I have a special needs dog and can handle meds and special care needs. I am comfortable with puppies and older dogs too! I work remotely and can work from your home while taking care of your fur babies like they are my own. I can focus on your dog/ dogs all day and give them the love and attention they deserve! I’d rather come to your home so I can keep your dogs in their normal routine. Having dogs of my own, I know some get nervous outside of their environment and I want them to be happy.

“I have known Suede for years through animal rescue and through her work with our veterinarians’ office. I’ve also had the pleasure of having her pet sit for me on several occasions. She is professional, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for the pets in her care. You can feel comfortable knowing she has the experience to deal with any unknown that might pop up, and it’s obvious she just dang loves animals. I would highly recommend her for any type of pet or house sitting needed.”

About: I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for close friends and family for a number of years. I know there is a need for more reliable sitters. I am self-employed part time. I have most mornings and evenings available to help take care of your pet even if it’s just simply taking your dog on a walk. I am willing to take care of your pet at your house. Whatever the needs are, if it works with my current work schedule, I am happy to help!

“Karisa would be a GREAT caregiver and dog sitter. Karisa has loved and taken care of our dogs on many occasions and has shown kindness and compassion as well as fun and playfulness . Karisa has been in charge of our dogs anywhere from one hour to weeks at a time. The dogs are well fed and healthy upon our return. I highly recommend Karisa in all aspects of caring for our/your K-9 babies. She is responsible and on time and will exert and follow the instructions put forth by the owners. Sincerely, April 970-739-1317”
