House Sitting Hermosa

“Merran is AWESOME! Two of our three pups are quite shy with new people and they took to her so quickly for her short stay. We loved getting the photos and updates every day while away & felt great about being away for the first time in a while - thanks Merran!”

About: Happy to help with special requests and have experience administering oral medication. I've cared for all kinds of animals and temperments, including big and small dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, mice, and lizards! I'm reliable, hardworking, and I will love your furry friends just like you do! I work 9:15-5:30/6 Sun-Thu, and may have time to do check ins/bathroom duty at lunch. Otherwise, I am available for walks/check ins before work and longer walks/check ins after work. On my off days I can be super flexible. I'll do my best to meet your needs! On overnights, I come to your home so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and routine. I make sure they're fed, watered, exercised, and loved, and I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. Please let me know if you have any special requests when it comes to your home; I will always tidy the place before I leave and am willing to do some extra house cleaning for a small fee. Otherwise, I'll bring my own meals and can send photo updates daily upon request!

About: I have always been into taking care of dogs. Either it being my parents dogs, siblings dog, friends dogs, or anybody in need.. I have always been interested. With being a second year college student, I am really just looking to make sure dogs get the love and treatment they need! I thankfully have a job where I am able to run around quite a bit to make sure everything is in order. I can stop in throughout the day, give walks during the evening, stay over night, etc. I am lucky enough to typically accommodate most needs! I always make sure the dog is in the best environment it can be! I love making sure that the dog is always well exercised, so that when it is back home it can just relax for the rest of the day!

“Michelle looked after Bailey and Dots and our home for a week. She sent us pictures every day of the fun everyone was having. She is a very nice young lady. I would definitely ask her to sit for us again.”

About: I have grown up with animals and taken care of animals my entire life. Grew up on a small farm and have worked with all types of pets. My schedule is very open in the mornings and most evenings. I sometimes work on weekends but very flexible. I go to Durango an Bayfield. I can crate dogs, walk dogs, hike with dogs and just love on dogs. Take dogs on runs, hikes and car rides. Able to do just about whatever is needed.

“Lucy is great! She is super respectful, responsible, and easy to work with. She took excellent care of our large and active dog for 9 days with lots of dog walks, treats, and snuggles! She sent updates and pictures of our dog to set our minds at ease and left our home clean for our return. I will definitely book Lucy again if she is available! Thank you Lucy!”

“Chris did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was very consistent with update and photos, asked questions to make sure the dogs and house were taken care of well, kept the house clean & neat and went the extra mile for us. We will definitely reach out to him when we need someone to look after our dogs. Thanks Chris.”

“Sammy was amazing. We received pictures everyday with a little recap. Luna seemed perfectly happy while we were away, I don't think she missed us at all. Sammy also left the house very clean, which was appreciated when we got home late.”

Madeleine K.

“Sam took great care of our pups and our home! She treated the dogs and our home as if they were her own. The dogs enjoyed lots of TLC and playtime.”

“Trista stayed with my young, sociable cat on short notice for 5 nights. She was communicative and responsive. Trista took care of my space and left it just as she found it -- including washing the sheets on the bed. I came home to a happy and well-cared for kitty. I wholeheartedly recommend Trista as a pet sitter. Thanks Trista!”

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!

“Jillian was great with Pollo and gave him lots of love and play time. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Alyssa was so good with our doggies and took good care of our house while she house sat for us. It made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was at our home spoiling our precious pups. Thanks so much Alyssa !”

About: I work at Willow Tree Kennel in Durango and have learned a lot about dog body language and social interactions. We focus primarily on accommodating to each individual dog’s needs and I would do the same for your dog that you entrust in my care. I have great attention to detail and have a good eye for anything that might be out of the ordinary for dog health. I actively research and gain more knowledge on dog interactions and am accustomed to working with reactive dogs or bite risks that take more time and going slower. I am comfortable working with puppies, antisocial dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that require a slower movement due to bite risk. Additionally, I’m working to become a dog trainer someday and am researching for that as well so your doggie and I can have a fun interactive relationship! My goal is to help fix any issues you may have while walking your dog and also make sure your dog is comfortable with me and their interactions on their walk! I have attached photos to my profile of some of the fun doggie experience I’ve had! A side note is that I have had my own dog and trained her various tricks for fun :) I also have experience in horse care with abused horses and am overall comfortable with all animals and behaviors within reason! I can fit a walk into any of my days but am going to school. I can do house/pet sitting but not overnight stays and am working full time. I can’t board at my home, but in a clients home I would follow the instructions given and make sure to give their pet plenty of attention and care! I have great attention to detail and would make sure nothing went awry with your home or your pets :)

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have constant supervision, care, and companionship. I understand how important pets are to families, and I’ll treat your dog like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care, and I can stay flexible with different routines and needs. Your pet won’t ever be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of playtime, supervision, and care. I have an 8-month-old female dog and a cat in my home, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and making sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. Your animals can play with mine and I always supervise interactions between pets and pay attention to their behavior to keep the environment calm and stress-free. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs, to help every pet feel secure and well cared for.

“Very responsive, Mouse was very happy”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from small to big dogs and have stayed in a lot of homes and never had any issues. I'm working full time , so occasional drop ins to let them out and feed them when I can and then being able to stay the night will help my routine. I always try to keep my home clean and safe for all people and pets and leave my the house I'm staying in better than when I got there.

About: Hi! We’re Britt & James, and we’d love to care for your pets while you’re away. We’re animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Together, we’ve spent years pet sitting through Rover and caring for friends’ and family’s pets, as well as pets of our own. Our biggest teacher has been our own rescue pup, Jessie. Since adopting her, we’ve learned firsthand how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality can be. Watching her grow into a confident, adventurous companion has only strengthened our love for caring for animals. We recently relocated to Durango for the Summer/Fall and are excited to meet fellow pet lovers in the community! While we’re not offering boarding in our home, we’re currently available for: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Puppy care • Senior pet care • Medication administration (oral medications) Whether your dog wants a hike, a stroll through the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, we’re happy to tailor every visit to their routine and personality. We know that every pet is different, and we take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. One of us works remotely, which means we’re often able to provide flexible scheduling. We pride ourselves on being dependable, communicative, and treating every home and pet with the same care we give our own. You’ll receive plenty of photo updates, thoughtful communication, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Our schedule is very flexible, which allows us to accommodate a wide variety of pets’ routines. One of us works remotely, so we’re often available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship. For house sitting, we do our best to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. We understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is an early riser, enjoys multiple walks a day, or simply loves having someone nearby for company, we’re happy to tailor our care to their individual needs. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. When caring for pets, our goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes, playtime, and bedtime routines. We know every pet is different, and we take the time to learn what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Our rescue dog, Jessie, absolutely loves making new dog friends and is very social! If you’re interested, we’re happy to bring her along for walks or playdates to provide your pup with some extra companionship. That said, we completely respect that not every dog enjoys other dogs or may simply prefer their own space. We’ll always follow your preferences and your pet’s comfort level, and Jessie will only join us if it’s something you specifically want. Above all, we treat every pet as if they were our own and every home with the utmost care and respect.

“Kimberly did an excellent job babysitting our white German Shepherd dog and she helped water a new grass and took care of our plants too. Sage loved her. They had a great time together. She is an excellent Dog Sitter and house sitter.”
