“Matt is amazing! We have a high energy cat and he worked really hard to make sure that he got the love and activity he needed during our time out of town. Will 100% rebook”

“Melanie was so great! She was super flexible when I had appointments at the house while I was away. She took very good care of my pup and was super responsive over messaging when the Rover Cards didn't work while I was traveling in areas without cell data. If I wasn't moving out of state, I would definitely rebook with Melanie in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.
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: 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 as you left it. 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.

“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.”


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.

“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!”

About: I have a little furry cat of my own and have a lot of experience pet sitting for friends, acquaintances, and clients over the years. Some of my experience also comes from volunteering at the humane society and wildlife refuge in the past. My fiancé, Nick, occasionally assists with house sits so your pets get extra attention and company. I’ll always communicate beforehand if he’ll be joining, and if that’s not preferred, no worries at all! I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I work from home on a 4x10 schedule, with many breaks throughout the day. Having a flexible schedule and longer weekends makes it easy for me to care for pets. Your pet's comfort is my top priority. In your home, I provide personalized care, adhering to their routine, and ensuring a stress-free environment. This includes regular feeding, walks, and playtime!
About: I been around dogs my whole life until moving out here for school. I love to play and run with them but am also experienced with older dogs. I will always give them my full attention. My weekends and Tuesdays are completely open. I will have school between 11 and 4 every Monday and Wednesday. Thursday I have school 11 to 1 pm and Friday I have school 11 to 1:30. 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: 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’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.

Deanne was so wonderful! She spent such good quality time with our kitty while we were gone and sent us updates everyday. She followed all the instructions to the letter and was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely use Deanne again when she’s available!
