Pet Sitting in Del Norte

“To say, "Beyond Expectations" is a huge understatement. I was kept apprised daily. I feel like my dogs got to go to camp whie I was away! I was blown away by how relaxed and unstressed they were on my return. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Looks like Hawk enjoyed his visits from Juliza and I sure enjoyed not worrying about him all day. Thank you so much, this was perfect.”

“Nicole is awesome! She always asks tons of questions to make sure the animals are getting everything they need!! This is my second time booking with her and she always makes sure that my babies are well loved when I’m out! Definitely will be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a wee lad!! From chickens to pigs and everything in between I've raised and had as a pet! I especially love dogs!! Woofers are my absolute favorite. I'll make sure to take special good care of any animal I watch :) I'm working part-time with a flexible schedule and I'll be starting school in the Fall semester, but I have every single afternoon and evening off so I have plenty of time to do what you need to be done. I've house sat multiple times in the past. I'm super friendly and willing to help out in any way. In no way will I ever hurt your furballs, nor will I damage anything at the house. Scouts honor, you will be guaranteed have my best efforts in anything I do.

About: I have taken care of dogs from a very young age. I had my first dog at three years old. From then I have always had dogs and cats. I have even owned and cared for rabbits, horses, and frogs. I have nursed sick cats back to health and am willing to give your pet all the love and care it needs. I currently work from home so I am able to keep a good eye on your doggo! If I need to go to your home, I can take my work with me if I have some to do. I have two dogs of my own which I look after everyday! I will feed, walk, and play with your dog(s) as if they were my own! I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own for your dog to play with. I have a crate for my dogs and I can crate yours as well, if needed. I can also follow any instructions you have if I work from your home. I am a work from home mama and fur-mama! I’ll be home for around the clock care so someone will always be home with your pup! I have two friendly dogs who love all people and kiddos and love to play with other dogs! I can also easily crate when needed.

“Cat C. took care of my 18 year old cat Ellie last minute during an out-of-town trip last week. She was wonderful to my geriatric cat and sent sweet pictures of the two of them. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend!”

About: I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs including big dogs. We take walks everyday down the road and back on leash and multiple walks around my fenced in property off leash. With lots of opportunity for yard time inside my 6-ft fenced in yard. We are located in a scenic and peaceful neighborhood in Aspen springs, approximately 6 mi west of Pagosa springs. Your dog will be able to run and play as much as it wants (supervised, of course) on my fenced in one and a half acre property. I was given my first doggie duties at the age of 5, and other than when I was in the military, dogs have always been a part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, one is a german shepherd/catahoula mix at about 2 yrs. old (still an active and playful pup) and the other is a husky/lab mix at about 12 yrs. old. both have lots of experience with other dogs. I don't spend much time away from the property these days. I do however have a part-time job in town that will keep me away from the house for about 4 to 6 hours and it's no problem taking an extended break if dogs need attention. You can be assured that when I'm away your pups will be safe, secure and comfortable. With plenty of space to stretch out in my three bedroom home. I live on just over an acre, in a nice qiuet country setting. The property is completely fenced in and gated with lots of trees and bushes there's also an "inner" yard surrounded by a 6ft cedar fence coming off the back porch of the house.

“We had a great experience with Shannon. She was very kind and approachable, coming to meet our three dogs a few days before the scheduled visit. She communicated regularly and left photos for us to view as well. We will contact her again for pet sitting when we visit Del Norte next summer. I would highly recommend Shannon for anyone who needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Shannon!”

About: Dogs will always be comfortable in my home, and will rarely be left alone if ever! I specialize with reactive and sensitive dogs. I enjoy listening to them and feeling what they need. Mental health for animals is important in our home. Dogs will have access to a fenced in backyard with multiple gates to ensure safety! I work from home and the dogs can go outside as often as every hour if needed. I have previous experience as a dog groomer/bather and worked one on one with many breeds for many years. I am very comfortable handling all breeds and sizes! Chief is eleven years old (and healthy!) and is happy to leave your pup alone all day OR play with them if that is what they prefer. I believe every dog should be taught basic training through positive reinforcement! I will work daily to ensure your dog is busy with exciting commands, frequent potty breaks and lots of attention! I am home full time and will work with your schedule! Pick up and drop off is available if needed. I will work closely with you to create a custom plan for comfortability! I provide a safe room especially for your pup at all times! Inside you will find an XL crate with a bed inside for maximum comfort. I have multiple beds and can switch out as needed. There is also a giant couch in case the dog bed and crate is just not for them. They are welcome up there all day long, provided with pillows and blankets. It makes me feel better knowing they are feeling happy and safe. I can make home made cookies with your dogs favorite ingredients (we will discuss allergies before doing so!). Your dog will get the top treatment they deserve!

About: I live on 5 acres that are not fully fenced in. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of exercise while he/she are staying with us. He/she will go home and just want to sleep! I have grown up with dogs my whole life so I know how to take good care of them. I will be there to feed, walk/run, and play with your dog while you are at work or on vacation. I do have four dogs named Daisy, Rasta, Mollie, and Nevaeh. Rasta and Nevaeh are rescue dogs. I am a stay at home mom with three kids who LOVE animals so your dog would have to enjoy being around kids. Thank you for your time and consideration and happy fall!
