“Heather was great with my three dogs. She walked them together and completed the entire walk as requested. My pups are a handful! Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in my life, including cats and dogs. Because of my experience, I’m familiar with the many different scenarios that can come up during pet care. I’m currently unemployed and providing full time services. This means I can work around you or your pets schedule and house/pet sit for hours or days at a time if needed. Frequent potty breaks and walks are also no problem for me. I’m very attentive to animal needs and can recognize different types of body language very quickly. These includes signs of aggression, anxiety, hunger, needing to go out, etc. and I can respond appropriately and in a timely manner.
“Morgan did exactly what we needed for our ride on the Durango Silverton railway. Our pups needed a walk and a potty break while we were gone. He arrived on time for the meet and greet and we received a report card as expected. Thx Morgan!”
About: I've taken care of many different animals. From bunnies all the way up to horses. I primarily enjoy being the caretaker to dogs and cats. I use to work as a Dog Musher in Minnesota. Where I was in charge of 20+ Huskies. I would make sure the were healthy and happy. I have worked with many different dog breeds: Springer Spaniels, Huskies, Pitbulls, Golden retrievers, and many more. I just really enjoy taken care of different animals. They each have their different personalities. I can work with older dogs that may have a condition. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Really well. I have a Job that is very flexible to where I can check on a pet 3 times a day. I also am comfortable house sitting while I'm at pet sitting. Feed the animals 2-3 times a day depending on the owners preference. Very important to know how the owner wants me to take care of them. If the animal needs anything special it is crucial to be exact about how it should be done. For the safety of the animal and person. Also be respectful of someone's home by keeping it the way you found it (if not better).
About: I've had a special bond with dogs my whole life, and have fallen in love with every dog that's come my way. I currently have two dogs back home with high energy levels. Growing up I've always been responsible for taking care of them, like going for walks, and assisting and training a service dog. I miss having furry friends around so I've been spending lots of time at the humane society. I go on daily walks and would love a furry companion to keep me company and get the zoomies out together. I'm currently a full-time college student who has lots of flexible hours. When I'm not in school or studying I spend my time walking around town, going to local trails, and climbing trees! Information I would like to know: what you allow and don't allow your dogs to do on walks. What kind of exercise does your dog like (running, playing catch)? Do they interact well with other dogs? Any other information I need to know to properly care for your dog?
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats, I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I have grown up with a cat and 4 dogs and I am familiar with the young stages and the senior years of a pets life. I’m currently in school at Fort Lewis. I have a few classes scattered throughout the day. My busiest day right now will be Tuesdays with back to back classes from 8-2:30. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
“Mariah took my girl to one of our favorite walking spots around town. I appreciated that she asked for water and a bowl given the nights are still warm. Appreciate the mindfulness around appropriate times to get a pup out in the summer.”
About: I went to school originally for animal science and veterinary technology. I worked in veterinary ERs, general practice, shelters for 6 years out of school. While I have hung up my hat as a vet tech officially in 2009 after I found a passion for a career in nonprofit and outdoor education, I still maintained several dog/cat sitting clients in Telluride where I lived over the course of fifteen years on the side of my full time program director position for a busy summer camp. Now in my 40s I work from home or remotely, for the last six years, as a nonprofit consultant. I have one lab named Zappa who keeps me on my toes the way only labs know how. (I can always bring him with me to your home or let him stay at home.) My lifestyle is active and I stay flexible so I can work remotely for travel opportunities (or to stay with your fur babies in your home!). I love running, hiking, surfing, rafting and riding bikes. Senior pets, meds and special instructions are no problem for me with my certified vet tech background. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! Let me know if you have any questions 💙 I’m typically very flexible since I work from home. I split my time between Mancos/Durango/Telluride so can stay wherever you are or your pet can stay with me, or I can do drop ins. Sometimes I have to drive up to Telluride for client meetings but would know ahead of time and plan your pet sitting around that or just not schedule anything during that time. My house is very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. I have an unfenced yard on 4 acres but would follow your lead on this one. My dog uses a halo collar for his fence boundary at my house. I’ve cared for dogs who need leash walks only too.
About: I'd love to give your pets the royal treatment while you are away! I have had dogs (and cats) all my life, and have cared for many breeds of all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I have also volunteered with a local animal shelter, spending several hours a week caring for sweet pets looking for homes. I dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors, and have recommendations if needed! I work remotely so I'm typically very available to take care of your furry ones! I'm very active and love taking dogs for walks, hikes or runs. I'm happy to follow whatever processes and instructions you provide for your loved furry ones! I am flexible and want your pups and kitties to be as happy and comfortable as possible!
About: I can help with senior pets that have trouble walking and seeing as well as feeding puppies and kittens. I enjoy taking care of any animals. Pet care can be a full time care plan for me. I am free to take care of your pets all week and over night. I have a medium sized fenced yard as well as a dog pen. There are 3 kids in the household as well as 2 family puppies and 1 adult dog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Durango
Angela was great, she was communicative in advance, flexible with our needs, on time for every walk (early actually!), and was very comfortable with our dogs and the process of picking them up and taking them out. Really glad we found her, this was a big help during our visit to Durango. Thanks Angela!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Durango. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
