About: I’ve worked at a couple of veterinary clinics as a receptionist and also helped with kennel care, which gave me valuable experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable reading dog behavior, keeping them calm in new environments, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is to follow routines, give attention to detail, and treat every pet with patience and love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m currently balancing a part-time job and my own business, so my schedule can vary week to week. I’ll always be clear about my availability in advance and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Reliability and communication are really important to me, and I make sure each pet I care for gets the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to any routines or quirks that help your pet feel secure. I take extra care to keep doors and gates locked, make sure water bowls stay full, and give plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for until you’re back home.

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. :)
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have constant supervision, care, and companionship. I understand how important pets are to families, and I’ll treat your dog like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care, and I can stay flexible with different routines and needs. Your pet won’t ever be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of playtime, supervision, and care. I have an 8-month-old female dog and a cat in my home, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and making sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. Your animals can play with mine and I always supervise interactions between pets and pay attention to their behavior to keep the environment calm and stress-free. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs, to help every pet feel secure and well cared for.

About: Does your dog need a vacation from their everyday life while you’re on vacation? I’m Tarah. I have a 9 year old boxer mix Mack and 4 year old Tabby cat Juniper. We live an active lifestyle while having a full time job. Your dog will enjoy all the finer things in dog life such as Running, skiing, hiking in the mountains, swimming and paddle boarding . Your pup will get to enjoy the great outdoors and after spoiled with lots of treats and fluffy blanket snuggles. I currently work 8 hour shifts at the hospital. I come home during lunch to let my dog out to walk. She also gets to run, ski , or hike before or after work or both. I live in a cottage have a fenced in yard. Pets have access to the yard all day.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I love to play and run with them but am also experienced with older dogs. I will always give them my full attention. I will accept requests every day of the week unless I’m out of town. I work at the Durango Hot Springs as well but I’m very available! I live in a house with some friends that all love dogs. There is plenty of space in the living room or my room to make your dog comfortable. Whenever I’m at your house or walking the dog, they have my full attention to anything needed.
About: Family animals have been part of my life since I was 7 years old, so I have extensive experience in the emotional and practical needs when taking care of animals. I understand that pets are a part of the family and I will pass this compassion on to your loved ones. I love to play and spend quality time with them to keep their energy high and healthy, especially when their family is temporarily away. I understand that the absence of a loved one can be taxing on animals, so I will practice extra attentiveness to ensure they still feel lots of love! I recently moved to Durango and my schedule with my other job is fairly flexible. My living situation (Roomate who is allergic to dogs and cats) requires that I care for your animals outside of my home (no boarding). When your pet is in my care, we would spend quality time outside and inside! I can alter our activities to the needs of your animal. I enjoy taking walks, playing games, and giving them lots of pets!
“Patricia is amazing! This is the second time she’s watched my cats while I’ve been out of town, and I will always look to see if she’s available in the future. She keeps me up to date with how they’re doing, spends quality time with them and sends lots of photos. Thank you Patricia!! :)”

About: I love all animals, domestic and wildlife alike. I have taken care of my own animals - labs and an Aussie, two cats (one of them three-legged), and chickens for 15 years. I also worked with wildlife for 2 years and have experience with birds and a variety of other species. My husband and I have fostered and rescued a number of abandoned dogs and have worked hard to fix, train, and find new homes for them. I am more than happy to accommodate a wide variety of people and their pets' needs. I'm a high school teacher who is living in Durango for the summer and looking for work to pay for play. I am here to get outside in the mountains for short stints but am living in town to enjoy this lovely place. My schedule is completely open but I will be hiking, biking, and hopefully rafting here and there. I LOVE all animals and would be delighted to help take care of your pets as needed. I am unable to host any pets say this current time as I'm renting a space here in Durango.. Hopefully in the future I will be able to accommodate pets.
About: I have had dogs as pets most of my life but love any kind of pet. I have also fostered puppies and kittens. I am responsible and trustworthy and will love and care for your pets while you are gone. Drop ins, walks or overnight care at your home. I work from home so my schedule is flexible to make drop ins, go on walks or stay overnight if needed. I will accommodate whatever your pets need while you are away. I can take care of your pets at your home where they are comfortable. I will treat your home with respect and love on your pets so you can have a relaxing time away.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since birth! My dad was a k-9 cop so I’ve been around all kinds of dogs. I love cats too and my cats are my babies!!! I am looking for sitting closer to the downtown Durango area or Home Depot area. I teach preschool in town so I would love to be able to spend quality time with your pets in the mornings before work and in the evenings and weekends after work. I would prefer to be at a client’s home. I live far out of town so it would be more convenient for me to follow the instructions of the client.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Durango
Gracen was a God send! We are travelling in a Sprinter van with our 2 cattle dogs, and wanted to take the Durango/Silverton train, which meant we would be gone all day. On short notice, Gracen made this possible! Since the van is our home away from home, Gracen came twice to our van (parked at a hotel) while we were gone to give our “kids” potty breaks, and belly rubs. The updates and photos gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy the spectacular train ride. So thankful!
Was super nervous to leave my girls, but that was quickly quelled by the lack of Alexa notifications from my dogs barking during Deidra’s visit. One of my dogs has anxiety and Deidra was able to get her to follow her feeding and outside routine flawlessly. She was such a relief to us with a tight week and will definitely be working with her again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Durango stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Durango choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Durango with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
