I was so nervous about leaving my babies but I was reassured by them it would be alright. They came for a meet and greet and the dogs loved them. They sent pictures and loved them like family. They were respectful of our home. We came back to happy dogs and the house just the way we left it. Would highly recommend and look forward to booking with them in the future.

About: I have had 3 years of experience house sitting for families with dogs and cats, big and small, young and old. I love to be able to help families and be able to keep their animals happy and well fed. I am currently working a full time job but have plenty of time on the weekends or after work to check on your pus, give them a walk and some love! I have a yorkie poodle named Phoebe, she is my baby and I love her so much. I will make sure to always treat your babies the same. All dogs or cats need love and attention. Sometimes the owner can’t always be there. I will be glad to lend a hand!

About: I’ve cared for many different dogs for years. From friends to family, I like to spend time with dogs in their own environment to get them comfortable without their owner and with me. I’ll play with their toys, know their favorite spaces and habits, etc. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away I’m a full time college student at the University of Denver, but home in Durango for the summer. I can do boarding any day and am flexible with my schedule. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions, including medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent.

About: I have former experience an Animal shelter technician as well as being a vet assistant. These jobs specialized in medical attention and care of dogs and cats. I currently babysit in the morning, nights and weekends are preferred but I’m willing to house sit as well as pet sit. I have a pretty flexible schedule. A typical pet sitting day is, feeding, letting the animal relieve themselves, walk or let out into the yard. Return later to feed and crate or if the animal has specific living accommodations.

About: I have lived in a dog friendly household ever since I can remember. Growing up, my family always had Boxers so I am more than used to taking care of energetic dogs. I have helped raise many a puppy, as well as cared for our family dogs as they eased into old age. I recently adopted a puppy from Northern Arizona Animal Search and Rescue. We are working on socializing her with both dogs and people. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs! I currently work from home full time so I will be home the entire time your pet stays with me. I am also a runner and run 7 days a week, so I would be more than happy to take your pup with me for a short run, walk, hike or whatever it is that you would like! I have a larged fenced in yard with a gate for your dog to play in. I also have plenty of room in my house to store a crate if needed!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from growing up around animals on my grandparents’ farm to raising and rescuing my own. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue cat, and I’ve also fostered animals, including raccoons, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Since 2020, I’ve provided pet care professionally. From 2023–2025, I worked full-time in Colorado with a partner, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve also cared for small animals like ferrets and gerbils. I have extensive experience with anxious and reactive dogs and understand how to handle them calmly and safely. I’m comfortable using different leash and harness setups, following specific routines, and administering medication when needed. I prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, structure, and respect for their individual needs. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize pet care around my day to make sure your pets get the time and attention they need. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and extended care, including weekends. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, use proper leash and harness setups, and make sure all doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs, so I stay calm, aware, and in control in different situations. I respect your home, keep things clean, and communicate clearly throughout each visit.

Eric took good care of my two dogs. They bark a lot which puts people off and are really protective. Eric was punctual, wasn’t intimidated. He took them for walks. I’m so glad I found someone reliable. Kathleen

Staci was wonderful with our three large dogs! It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were traveling out of state. Staci made the extra effort to come for a meet & greet and arrive before we left to ensure the dogs remembered her. Staci’s communication was great and she also left the house well maintained, even going above and beyond by vacuuming the never-ending dog hair, doing the dishes, and leaving us a welcome back treat! I highly recommend Staci and she will be our first call if we ever need a dog sitter again!
