Cat Sitting in Hesperus

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.

About: I offer dependable and attentive pet care for animals of all shapes and sizes. With a calm and grounded approach, I create a peaceful, safe environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, play, or companionship, I would love to meet your pet! My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m available to offer thoughtful, individualized pet and house sitting. I genuinely enjoy keeping cats company, walking dogs, watering plants, or just making sure everything feels cared for while you’re away. I’m open to daytime and overnight visits. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, needs, and personality. I strive for you and your pet to feel at ease while you’re away. I like to prepare for visits by learning what’s important to you and your pet, what you need from me, and what your pet might need in your absence. I care about cleanliness and do my best to ensure that your space is tidy for your return.

“Samantha was available on a few hours notice. I appreciate that, and great updates on visits. My puppy chewed up paper towels and she was nice to pick it up. So grateful for her help.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I was born and raised in the country surrounded by cats, dogs, the list goes on and on. I started pet and house sitting as a teenager and have continued since then. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. As as homeschooling single mom of two animal-loving kids, your pet won't be left alone all day. I spend a lot of time at home, and my children are kind, gentle, and very experienced around animals. They love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddles (with your permission, of course!). I offer plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I will treat your babies like part of our family. My summer schedule is wide open to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. If you're looking for a sitter where your pet will be treated like part of the fam, I would love to help. I know how important is is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I am very intentional and aware of their normal routines and rituals, give them lots of attention and affection, and bring a grounded, present, calm companionship with me. I carefully follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walks, medications, crating, household preferences, etc. My children and I very respectful of both of your pets and your home, and I am very responsive with my communications with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for and loved!

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 worked at a couple of veterinary clinics as a receptionist and also helped with kennel care, which gave me valuable experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable reading dog behavior, keeping them calm in new environments, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is to follow routines, give attention to detail, and treat every pet with patience and love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m currently balancing a part-time job and my own business, so my schedule can vary week to week. I’ll always be clear about my availability in advance and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Reliability and communication are really important to me, and I make sure each pet I care for gets the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to any routines or quirks that help your pet feel secure. I take extra care to keep doors and gates locked, make sure water bowls stay full, and give plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for until you’re back home.

About: Dog bio - I've been caring for animals of all kinds my whole life. Growing up my family had many different pets ranging from dogs, to cats, to rodents. I've learned to many unique aspects of caring for different creatures of different species and temperaments and I love them all the same. I treat animals with respect and patience and have often heard that aggressive or nervous animals take a liking to me when they normally don't like strangers. As of right now I am the proud dog mom of a beautiful Siberian husky mix with an autoimmune disorder called lupus. She is my first medically fragile dog and I have been managing her medication and symptoms for about 2 years now. She has made amazing progress with her condition under my care and made me more confident that I could care for animals with any types of health condition. I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies as well as cats! I don't currently have a job and I am taking a break from college so I have plenty of free time for your babies! I'm available for pet sitting at your home during weekdays, and I can walk your dog any time, distance, or day of the week. I cannot do overnight boarding for most animals at my home, as I have a dog and cat that both don't get along with other animals of their species. For pet sitting all I need is the expectations for your home and your dogs care. List any health conditions, diet specialties, behavioral issues, or just quirks your animal has that may be worth mentioning

About: I have a big heart for all animals. I’m kind and patient and enjoy playing with dogs and cats and even sitting on the couch snugging up to them. I’ve had a cat that was diabetic, had small dogs and cats that I’ve kept till they past away and now have 6 Frenchies and 2 bigger dogs and cats and a lot more animals I’ve taken care of at my moms house and have a kitten and puppy of my own now. I work for the city of Durango and I have Fridays and weekends off and I would love to spend that time walking dogs and would help me get out of the house. P.s if you schedule for a dog walk Monday through Thursday it will have to be AFTER 5pm, thank you! I am always watching and listening to make sure there not in anything and I have a little camera in my kitchen so I can watch the animals and make sure there okay while I’m at work or running errands.

“Angel was so wonderful with my cats - she got them all to let her pet them even the outside cat! He won’t even barely let me pet him!! She left the house absolutely spotless- she had great communication with me while I was away. I HIGHLY recommend if you are in need of a pet sitter- you can tell she really loves animals”

About: I have a sweet Border Collie puppy, an Australian Shepard and and Australian Kelpie. I have had dogs my whole life and have tons of experience in dog and house sitting! Although I have 3 pets of my own I am always looking for more furry friends and pet loving. I grew up with a German Shepard/Newfoundland, a Great Pyrenees/Bernese Mountain dog and a Pitbull/Lab. I have watched a number of dogs ranging from Golden Retrievers to Australian Shepards to labs to terriers to daschunds. I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Overall, I love dogs of all ages and sizes and would love to care for you dogs! I work full time between two jobs, but have a flexible schedule. I have a degree in Biology. My boyfriend and I have 3 dogs together so when I am pet sitting, he is able to take care of our dogs, meaning I will be able to put all my time and care into yours! I can assure that your pet will get the maximum amount of attention and all of their needs will be met. I always make sure the pets I am sitting are not left alone for too long and ensure that they get adequate exercise. If the owner specifies activities the dog enjoys I make sure to do that with them! You will get daily updates as to how your pet is doing. Pictures will be sent so you can keep updated with your pet’s well-being! I am currently working full time, but always make the animals I am caring for my priority. I make sure pups get walks in and that all animals get love and care they need. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your pets to run around. When staying at you’re place, or mine I make sure to take them on walks and exercise.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. I have had different breeds of dogs such as Schnauzer, Poodle, Maltese, and an Australian Shepherd/lab mix. I have experience in taking care of multiple animals at a time and some experience administering medication to senior cats and dogs. I am going to be doing gig work so my schedule is as flexible as it needs to be. I can sit or drop in during the morning, day or evening. Since I will be taking care of pets in your home, I would utilize what is at my disposal as far as taking dogs out whether that's a fenced in yard or on a leash. I'd like to have a meet and greet to get to know where the food is kept and learn if your pet has any particulars when it comes to feeding, playing, etc.

About: I was raised on a small farm in southeast Georgia which allowed me to gain experience with many different animals - including dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, ducks, goats, & horses! I’m passionate about health and wellness and am in the process of becoming a women’s health coach. I am available for dog walking and housesitting opportunities and my schedule can be somewhat flexible, depending on what kind of care you are looking for! In addition to providing excellent pet care, I have some availability to housesit which includes the following services: Taking pets for walks/hikes and engaging in playtime activities, collecting mail, & watering house plants/garden space. I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, hikes, and engage in play with your pups, and other furry pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort is top priority! Before showing up to a sit I prefer to meet in person to build trust and make sure everyone is comfortable.
