House Sitting Hermosa

“Aliza took great care of my pups and the house. We would love to have her back, and I would happily recommend her!”

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!

“Very responsive, Mouse was very happy”

“Micha has an amazing way with dogs. Our dogs can be a bit of a handful, and our dogs could not have been more accepting of him. Great energy, great dog sitter!”

“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!”

“Ana, She is wonderful! Efficient, responsible and a lovely human. She did everything we asked of her in our home. Our home was spotless when we returned (probably cleaner than we left it). The reason I know she was amazing is, usually when we return home to our dogs, they are so excited and can hardly control themselves. When we returned home this time, they were indeed happy to see us, but it was clear that they had been loved, walked, and they seemed very calm for us having been gone for 5 days. This was so comforting. Thank you Ana!!!”

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!

“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!”

Liz C.

“Samatha was amazing! She fed Winter on schedule and didn’t miss any meals. She texted me each day with an update and sent a pic of Winter with it. I really appreciated that. My house was left nice and clean. It was raining and my backyard can get muddy so she was wiping my dogs feet. Winter had an accident on her bed so Samantha washed her bed for her. She was really great so I’d recommend her to everyone! She is a really sweet person!”

Nichole C.

“Merran was great. She updated me with photos everyday. She followed instructions closely and took great care of my babies. Will 100% use Marran again and you should too!”

Heather C.

“Sam took care of our "kids" for a few days and our "kids" had a wonderful time! She was very communicative and we loved getting daily pics. We also noticed how our dogs immediately took to Sam- she definitely knows dogs and dog behavior! It was really nice having someone at our house and we felt very comfortable with that. We will definitely ask her to stay again. We highly recommend Sam and our dogs do, too!”

Cindy & Stu A.

“We would leave 6 stars if we could! Carter was absolutely incredible with our dogs and went above and beyond in every way. He helped water plants, spoiled our pups with walks and hikes, kept us up to date regularly and even cleaned the sheets. Our only problem is that he won’t be around all year round!”

About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!

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.

“Sarah watched our dog and home for a bit over 2 weeks and was absolutely wonderful. She regularly sent us photos of activities she was doing with our dog and was very respectful of our space. This was our first experience with an at-home sitter and we were a bit nervous at first but as soon as we met Sarah we were put at ease. She's kind, respectful and excellent with our dog. Can't recommend her enough!”

Emily & Joseph C.

“We are so happy to have found Alyssa! She was an excellent communicator, took great care of our pups, helped me water my newly planted flowers, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be booking with her again in the near future!”

She gets a hike or run before and after work. I live in a cottage have a fenced in yard. Pets have access to the yard all day. There’s plenty of dog and cat toys to play with!

“Mary was a wonderful house sitter. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. She did a great job communicating throughout her stay and sent pictures and updates regularly. We will definitely book Mary again!”

Karissa D.

“Rachel was fantastic. She kept our girl very active with multiple walks and play dates with other dogs. Xena was very happy in her care. We were able to enjoy our short vacation without any worries how our dog was doing. That is priceless!”

About: *currently located in Durango, CO* 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.
