Suede was great with Rose and kept me in the loop with how she was doing while we were away for the weekend. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for someone to help watch your pup.

Mikkel watched my dog while I went out of town to visit family for several days. She made sure we met in person prior to the trip to discuss specifics and kept me updated throughout the trip. She did a great job and I know my dog was happy to make a new friend. Will be booking again!

Michael was super communicative and took amazing care of my 65lb dog while I was away over a holiday weekend. Cooper can be reactive and worry when he is in the care of others, but Michael managed his anxiety like a dream! Would definitely use Michael again!

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I was born and raised in the country surrounded by cats, dogs, the list goes on and on. I started pet and house sitting as a teenager and have continued since then. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. As as homeschooling single mom of two animal-loving kids, your pet won't be left alone all day. I spend a lot of time at home, and my children are kind, gentle, and very experienced around animals. They love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddles (with your permission, of course!). I offer plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I will treat your babies like part of our family. My summer schedule is wide open to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. If you're looking for a sitter where your pet will be treated like part of the fam, I would love to help. I know how important is is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I am very intentional and aware of their normal routines and rituals, give them lots of attention and affection, and bring a grounded, present, calm companionship with me. I carefully follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walks, medications, crating, household preferences, etc. My children and I very respectful of both of your pets and your home, and I am very responsive with my communications with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for and loved!

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.

About: I have lived in a dog friendly household ever since I can remember. Growing up, my family always had Boxers so I am more than used to taking care of energetic dogs. I have helped raise many a puppy, as well as cared for our family dogs as they eased into old age. I recently adopted a puppy from Northern Arizona Animal Search and Rescue. We are working on socializing her with both dogs and people. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs! I currently work from home full time so I will be home the entire time your pet stays with me. I am also a runner and run 7 days a week, so I would be more than happy to take your pup with me for a short run, walk, hike or whatever it is that you would like! I have a larged fenced in yard with a gate for your dog to play in. I also have plenty of room in my house to store a crate if needed!

Kasey was a delightful person and has a great outgoing personality. Our dog seemed to feel very comfortable. I would recommend Kasey without any reservation.

About: I’ve cared for many different dogs for years. From friends to family, I like to spend time with dogs in their own environment to get them comfortable without their owner and with me. I’ll play with their toys, know their favorite spaces and habits, etc. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away I’m a full time college student at the University of Denver, but home in Durango for the summer. I can do boarding any day and am flexible with my schedule. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions, including medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent.

Staci was wonderful with our three large dogs! It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were traveling out of state. Staci made the extra effort to come for a meet & greet and arrive before we left to ensure the dogs remembered her. Staci’s communication was great and she also left the house well maintained, even going above and beyond by vacuuming the never-ending dog hair, doing the dishes, and leaving us a welcome back treat! I highly recommend Staci and she will be our first call if we ever need a dog sitter again!

Suede was so easy to work with. She made a point to meet me and my dog before finalizing the booking. It was clear she cares about the animals she watches and wanted to help as much as possible. I will certainly schedule with her again!

Suede arrived on time, was super friendly, and made friends quickly with our two dogs. We are staying in an RV park in Colorado and didn't know what to do with our dogs while we toured Mesa Verde NP. I'm so glad we found her. It was a blessing! Thank you, Suede!!!

Suede sat with our two dogs twice while we explored Durango. As we are visiting, and in an RV, we weren't sure we would get to explore the area much. Thanks to her, we did! We visited Mesa Verde one day and on another day we rode the Durango/Silverton train. She was great with our dogs, and sent us pics of their time together. We would definitely recommend her and would definitely request her again (if ever in the area again)!
