Dog Boarding in Durango

“Starr and EJ were absolutely wonderful with our dog Ed. He is a bit of a nervous boy, but they eased him into the new environment, spending time with him outside before introducing him to the pack. When we picked him up he seemed very at ease and having fun with the rest of the pups. Thank you!”

“Amber was great! Our dog is very nervous around new people but we felt very comfortable leaving her in Ambers care for the day! Appreciated the great communication leading up to and during the stay.”

“There are not enough thank yous for Virginia. Our senior golden hurt her knee and Virginia took over and rendered care like one of her own. She was so helpful and communicative with me. No doubt in my mind we’ll contact her again when we revisit Durango.”

“She was great! Took excellent care of our Dog, sent us photos, and accommodated a last-minute request. Thanks again!”

“It was my partner and I’s first time ever leaving our doggo, we were worried she would be very anxious and would not get a long with other dogs but Tahoe and Lori provided a safe and loving space allowing her to break out of her shell quickly and she was a very happy pup! Lori did great at updating us and sending pictures to ease our mind while we were on vacation and we would def recommend Lori to anyone who just wants their baby safe and taken care of! 💜”

“Jackson was fantastic with Barley. Every day he sent me photos of their adventures together hiking through the mountains. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing a caretaker and friend for their dog.”

“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”

About: Hello! My name is Sav and I loveee all animals. Im still getting to know the town of Durango while I’m in school for wildlife biology so I'm trying to make some extra money. I was a dog walker for someone for 2 years and 5 days a week and also have experience in housesitting, dog sitting, raising puppies etc. I have a beautiful dog named Fera who is amazing with kids, babies, cats, and everything except squirrels. I look forward to meeting your family with paws!!🫶🐾🐾 I’m currently in school, so my schedule is everywhere and very open. Text me and we can work out what’s best for you and me! I have 7 acres of land in the back of my apartments that is basically a fenced dog park with a pond. My place is extremely pet friendly and far from busy roads. :)

“Kristina and her husband were great watching our dog! She sent updates every day, and I could tell he was well taken care of. He is a high energy, rough and tumble dog, and they were fine to manage this. Their dog lucky is a totally sweetheart and liked to play with ours. Thanks so much both!”

“My dog had a happy weekend at Jacob’s and was able to get out on some hikes. Jacob kept me posted with updates and photos. Looking forward to boarding her here again.”

“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a child and have adopted 2 rescue puppies here in Durango. I have looked after friends and my parents' dogs as needed. Daily dog walks - I take our 2 dogs on hikes/walks every day, so your furry friends will fit right in! Personalized attention – I only take one client at a time (up to 2 dogs from same client) and our household is semi-retired so your dog(s) will never be left alone. Safe, fenced yard for off leash play. Convenient in town location. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find sitters you truly trust. I live in town in Durango and have noticed that there are very few local sitters who take dogs on walks. That’s exactly what I'm offering - a comfortable home environment with walks, a yard and no crates. My home is located right in town, with a secure fenced in yard where dogs can run, play, and relax. No long drives out of the way — just easy drop offs and peace of mind. I have two friendly dogs who love to play, we are all very active and will take your pup on regular daily hikes. Whether your pup loves chasing toys or lounging in the sun, they’ll have company and enrichment here. I built this service around what we ourselves struggled to find in Durango: sitters who combine excellent care (daily walks) with in-town convenience. Your pup will be treated like family, with space to play and friends to bond with.

“Allena was a wonderful sitter for our pup Terrapin. She was attentive and communicative throughout his stay. Would definitely recommend and use again!!”

“Danielle was excellent. Walked my dog every day and provided plenty of photos and feedback. Was even returning from a walk when I arrived to pick him up”

John K.

“We had to be gone a LONG time, and Lori took fabulous care of him as she always does. He even got a trip to California with Lori and her dogs, and got to play on the beach! He is a very lucky dog!”

Gail And Richard G.

“Very pleased with Gunner and Krystal for the accommodations and care they made for our pup Juno. If you want folks who care for your animal like you do, then look no further.”

“Was able to vacation worry-free. Puppy was happy healthy and well taken care of. Michaela is great with animals and I hope she will be watching my dog during any future trips. Have no reservations about leaving your dog with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was about 8. I’ve always loved the opportunity to meet people’s pets, I form a good relationship with them pretty much instantaneously. I love being able to help people go on their vacations or get through their work day knowing their animal is being taken care of. My complex doesn’t allow animals, and after the passing of my own pup it’s been nice to meet so many new lil fur friends. I’d love to help you! I work at least 4 days a week, but luckily I have a pretty flexible schedule; that being said, any time I’m not at work would be spent with your fur child. I’ve been trained in dog handling and I’m very gentle but also assertive when the situation calls for it. I’m good at feeling out the animals comfort level and letting them warm up to me in whatever way will be the least stressful for them.

“Rachel was great and communicative!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’ve had a dog in my house since I was born. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds as I helped take care of friends dogs growing up and helped at local shelter. Additionally, both dogs I had growing up were at least older than 8 so I have plenty of experience dealing with older dogs and all their needs. I’m currently a college student in my final year, with minimal classes and a lot of free time I’m free every weekends and all day Monday Wednesday and Friday for boarding or day time care. I look to provide a fun safe environment where dogs are free to move around, play, and lounge without any fear of danger or disruption. Anything that poses a danger to the dog is out of harms way and any requests or specific concerns are the first thing I ask about.
