Dog Walking in Durango

About: I’ve grown up around pets and have been entrusted since I was 13 years old to care for dogs and clients homes from family and friends and referrals. I currently work part-time and remote so the nature of my life is very flexible to care for the needs of your pet and home. I have cared for dogs with many different personalities and needs and feel more than capable to ensure a safe and trust environment with and for your pet

“Alyssa was fantastic!!!! She came when we expected her. She sent us photos and when we returned our pup was happy happy! Alyssa made our vacation that much better because we didn’t have to worry about if our pup was doing ok. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone needing a pet sitter, walker etc!!! 10 stars if I could.”

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. I currently volunteer at Annie’s Orphans shelter weekly. 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.

“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: I’ve taken care of 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!

“Excellent ! Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Our two dogs were well cared for, received long walks, and our house was left clean and tidy. Brittney was communicative and professional.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have so much love and respect for them. I grew up with mostly dogs and a few cats. My family and friends have always entrusted me with feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and overall looking after animals of all kinds. I love making sure animals get their needs met and live a happy life. I take care of animals full time via walking, check-in visits, and overnight visits. I dedicate ample time to making sure furry friends stay happy, healthy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety is my number one priority. I believe that every animal deserves loving care, so I cautiously work to make sure each animal's specific needs are met.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs that are small to extra large breeds. With my experience I’ve dealt with puppies in potty training and senior dogs who require medicine. I’m always willing to go on walks or just let them out the backyard. I’ve dealt with dogs to snakes and lizards. I’m always up for more than one animal! I’ve dealt with fire drills in pet sitting getting the dogs out safely and calmly with ease. Currently while in college I have no pets to take care of. But, when I’m home I get up early to meet feeding times, potty times, and anything else needed. My dog, Maple, had knee surgery and I made sure to take extra care of her and pay close attention. Always making sure to follow the schedule given to me and keeping it safe. I’m always willing to play with pets and don’t mind if they are snuggle bugs. If there’s any accommodations needed I’m always willing to do so.

“Angela is a delight to work with - she made a great connection with my young dog and her communication was excellent. Her "report card" from the walk was comprehensive - and fun! Would hire again in a heartbeat - it's no wonder she has so many loyal clients - thanks Angela!”

“Truman is great and we are looking forward to using his help more often! He’s timely, professional, and our dog always comes home tired. Thanks Truman!”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and in more recent years have volunteered at an animal shelter as well as been the go-to dog sitter for friends. I'm a recent college graduate and only working part-time, so have lots of gaps in my schedule to fill! My shifts are pretty short and I only work evenings so am rarely occupied for over 5 hours making feeding and bathroom break times accessible. I am a relatively mellow person and find animals to be quickly comfortable around me. I love to play with both cats and dogs, run around outside with them, and take a companion on my daily walks.

“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!”

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: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of dogs for family friends and neighbors on and off for the past 5-10 years. I've been a dog walker, walking puppies/teenage dogs, I have also house/dog sat at others homes and taken care of puppies to old dogs while their families are away. I have recently been working as a dog walker/chicken hand for a family going over everyday to care for the animals I have recently moved so I currently have a very flexible schedule. I plan to keep a flexible schedule once I start working again. I am a very active and outdoorsy person so getting the chance to spend time with animals is a great combination for both the pets and I. At others homes I cater to your dogs normal routine, if you have a fenced in yard or invisible fence or pets that hang around. I am completely flexible and easy going when it comes to your pets routine, I will follow any training methods or tools you have.

“Kelsey is great! I would definitely recommend her for your pup!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean (or cleaner!) than how I arrived. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.

About: I grew up with a household full of dogs, and have taken several animal care-taking positions in the past ten years. I have been walking dogs with another dog-walking app, and have also looked after pets in the neighborhood and for friends and family. I love to walk and be outside, and I am willing to jog with extra energetic pups! Small and medium-sized dogs are my favorite, but I am willing to take care of dogs of all sizes as well as other species. I am usually available to hang with your pup most of the day, and will take them on adventures when appropriate. Right now I work from home so I am very flexible! I usually leave to go running and do errands, but I am usually never gone for more than a few hours. I will follow your pet's usual routine to the best of my ability, and will also do my best to take care of your home.

“Katherine is great.My dog adored her.She was on time and very accommodating.”

About: I grew up in Alaska, surrounded by all types of dogs and have cared for animals from less than 10lb to 100. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and will accommodate to whatever your pet needs are. I’m happy to take a dog for a hike to get all the energy out or just chill with a kitty at home. I’ve had many friends, family and strangers trust me with taking care of their pet. I treat them just as my own, understanding how precious your fur babies are to you! I just got off a fishing boat and have a flexible schedule and can make random times of the day free to play with animals and can accommodate to the pets physical needs. I will follow any guidelines requested for the care of your pet. I’ll make your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible, treating them with respect, patience and calmness.
