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 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.
“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!”
About: I have a range of experience with different dog breeds, ages, and sizes. I utilize an empathetic approach to pet care, adapting to the specific needs and personality of your pet. As I grew up around animals, I understand and respect the special relationships we form with our furry friends. I am excited to meet your pet! Originally from Texas, I am an educator and I love animals. I love to be active and build relationships, which makes pet care the perfect side gig. I feed, walk, play with and accompany pets in their homes. Depending on the personality of the pet, time spent playing or chilling varies. I enjoy getting to know the characters of each pet, as they are all unique, just like us.
“Matthew was so fantastic! We were in town and needed our dogs walked while we explored. He agreed to three walks throughout the day and took them on extensive walks. Our dogs were happy and exhausted - a great combo for our dogs 😀 very grateful for his willingness, communication, and care of our pups!”
“Thanks Sara! Dogs were relaxed when we got home. Thanks for coming out the day before and meeting us and the dogs. Greatly appreciate. It’s so hard when we are traveling to find someone when we are out for a long day!”
About: Hi! I'm Madeline - aka friend to many dogs. Way back in college, I adopted the free shelter dog - so I'm very skilled in handling pups who may be a little special/quirky/super silly. Like many, I grew up with dogs of many different sizes + personalities. I can proudly say... I've always been the go-to pet sitter for friends/family :) And with that, I extend the same kindness and care to your pups while you are away. I'm a freelancer web developer - so my schedule is very flexible. Reach out with any times, last minute booking requests, misc tasks - I can likely be available! Depending on you & your dogs preference, we can do a range of activities. From a trail run/hike - to a mellow stroll listening to the birds - to playing in your backyard with stuffies. You just let me know what you think is best, I'm very adaptable! I'm open to boarding small/med size dogs at my home or yours on a case by case basis! Or late evenings + early mornings, if your dog can be left alone at night. I'd prefer to get to know your dog/s through walks then happy to discuss :) I'm available most days & most times! As a freelancer, I can work around your preferred times for dog walking and drop ins. If you need to leave your dog overnight - I can attend to your dogs late in the evening for bedtime & come back early in the morning. I'm very good at reading dog body language, and do my best to make them feel comfortable. My life revolves around my dog, and I provide the same exact kindness and care to yours!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have always loved animals and my freinds, neighbors, and family always ask me to care for their furry loved ones! I’m currently working only a couple shifts a month at my other job, so I can be reliable and flexible with many different schedules to fit your needs! In my clients home I will be sure the pets have the food/water their owners desire, and I would love to play and run the energy out of your pets during the day while your at work!
About: Raised on a small hobby farm with a wide menagerie of animals, I've learned to adapt to each need that arises for a bunch of species. Does your dog need a little brush-up on training while you're away for the weekend? Let me build consistency with basic commands. Does your cat need eye drops twice a day? No sweat. As a person who professionally monitors the behaviors of other mammals, I'm highly attuned to the nonverbal communication that animals offer to express their needs and comfort. Providing for their peace and safety is a duty I take seriously and personally! You might notice that I have my own dog. Please rest assured, she will stay with her dad (my fiancé) when I come to stay with and watch over your fur babies. She will only come with me to your place after at least one booking, AND if you and I EXPLICITLY agree that our dogs get along well enough. She will never come with me to the home of a cat! For dog walking clients only- I can provide walks from about 7:30-8:30AM in the mornings and then anytime after 1PM on Fridays, then 9AM-8PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Additional fees may be applicable at the sitter's discretion if the care for the pet exceeds standard care (e.g., puppy or senior care, diaper changes and messes, or returning to your place for a potty break during a workday). I'm an early-career therapist with a deep appreciation for the pure connection with which animals meet us. I would be honored to provide you peace of mind while you're on your travels! I take care to meet all my furry flatmates' wants and needs before leaving for work each weekday around 8-9 AM, then return by 6 PM for evening walks, feedings, and grooming. On Fridays, I finish work by 1 PM and can get home to animals in my care much earlier in the afternoon. As a full-time therapist and part-time graduate student, I like to stay in and attuned to the needs of animals- my simplest clients! For dog walking clients only- I can provide walks from about 7:30-8:30AM in the mornings and then anytime after 1PM on Fridays, then 9AM-8PM on Saturdays and Sundays. I offer care in your home, upholding the Leave No Trace ethic outdoors as well as in, and have been known to leave homes in better shape than I find them. References will attest!

About: I’ve taken care of my own as well as close relative’s pets (cats, dogs, horses, chickens) numerous times. My friend owns 5 cats and each one enjoys my company. I work mornings at my primary job, but after 1 pm, I’m free to begin any services. Two days during the week, I can provide services in the morning as well! I would really like to add a fur buddy or two to my outside time! I’m pretty good with following steps and routines. My friends and family relatives trust me entering their homes and caring for their pets, I’m hoping to be given opportunities to get to know your pets!

A home becomes your personal castle - I'll take care to treat it as if it were my own. This applies to your pets as well!
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 have experience taking care of several types of dogs, cats and even a bird in the last 5 years. Every week, my work does a “Buddy Day” with the humane society where we have an adoptable dog come hangout with us for the day and then I bring them back at the end of the day. This has exposed me to so many different types and personalities of dogs! I’m also comfortable giving medication and taking care of pets that may be under the weather. I’m currently working full time during Tuesday-Saturday (7:30am-3pm) but am able to leave for lunch to check on or let your pet outside to potty or walk. I work and live in downtown Durango. I’m available daily in the evenings. The safety and well-being of your pet is my #1 priority. Making sure gates and locks are secure, proper leashes/harnesses are being used, following all the care instructions exactly and sending regular updates (if you’d like) to keep communication open are a few things I’ve found keep your pet safe and happy. In general, I just want to create an environment that your pet will thrive in.
About: I have adored all animlas my whole life and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I have started dog walking with a senior dog when I was 13 and I am hoping to get back into it! I have also taken care of other furry friends for my loved ones and friends throughout the years. I'm currently a part-time student with a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your furry family members! I have open avaliability Thursday-Sunday with evening avaliability Monday-Wednesday. I also make sure to respect yours and your pets space when entering the home! I have two friendly cats at my own home as well.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets by providing daily feeding, fresh water, and maintaining clean living spaces. I regularly walked dogs, ensured they received enough exercise, and monitored their behavior to notice any changes in health or mood. I also helped with basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur and bathing, which kept pets comfortable and healthy. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of how to meet the physical and emotional needs of animals. Pet care would fit well into my schedule because I can plan feeding, walks, and check-ins around my daily responsibilities. I’m able to manage my time effectively, making sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise while still keeping up with my other commitments. I make sure I give them a reasonable time to relax and make sure they are let outside and have access to anything they need. I would also give walks based on the animals needs.
About: I've had pets since a child, and have been working with dogs and training puppies for several years. I've been involved in my children's multiple 4H projects, learning how to care and provide for many animals - which has only strengthened our love and commitment to our pets! I'm also a nurse, and have some vet tech experience - so I know how to safely watch and care for your pet! Your pets will have my full time and attention, as I currently available most days and work on a per diem basis. Animals cared for will have frequent bathroom breaks and plenty of good exercise to keep them happy! Also happy to bring your pup for field trips/walks around town! I will give your pet lots of attention & will ensure they get the exercise, love, and care they deserve. I am available throughout the day for frequent bathroom breaks, walks & exercise, and can stay in your home or visit regularly as needed/desired. I will be attentive to your care instructions.

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.
