“Cassie has been a huge help to our family for the last few months. She is very responsive and professional in her communication. My dog is very selective when it comes to accepting humans and Cassie has become one of her favorite humans. I think this is due to Cassie’s attention and receptivity to my dog’s cues and personality. I hired Cassie for help walking my dog during the last month of my second pregnancy and postpartum period. She quickly became a warm and welcome presence in our household and routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or say anything but great things about her!”
“Angela is a delight to work with - she made a great connection with my young dog and her communication was excellent. Her "report card" from the walk was comprehensive - and fun! Would hire again in a heartbeat - it's no wonder she has so many loyal clients - thanks Angela!”
About: I've been caring for animals as long as I can remember, from chickens to horses, to, of course, dogs! I grew up living near a lot of farmland, so I always had special respect for animals. Being away from home for my education, I miss my parents' dogs and cats a lot. I've spent a lot of time in Durango volunteering to take my friends' dogs to the dog park, on walks, etc. I'm excited to meet you and your pup! Over the summer, I'm working a part-time job that gives me a lot of free time! More likely than not, I'll have time to take care of your pets. I spend a lot of time pet sitting for friends, so I already spend a lot of time at the dog park and going for walks! The most important aspect of pet care for me is communication with owners. I like to have a good idea of what is best for your pet before I care for them, to make sure that the experience is best for everyone.
About: I had many pets growing up, but I don't currently have any of my own. I love animals and so, for many years, I have filled the pet void by taking care of my friends animals as needed. For 2-6 weeks at a time on some occasions. Its great to know that I'm giving people peace of mind when they are away from their pets. My friends know that their dogs are getting spoiled with outdoor adventures and cuddles on the couch. You shouldn't have to worry about your furry friends when you leave town. Going for a dog walk easily becomes the best part of my day, and so offering my service to folks beyond my immediate friend group seems like a really enjoyable way for me to make some extra cash. I work from home full time, Monday through Friday, and I have a very flexible day-to-day schedule that allows me to provide constant supervision and take frequent breaks throughout the day for sun, exercise, playing and pets. I have a working vehicle that is dog friendly. I am happy to go to the dog park and explore hiking trails, but I also live on a farm and the property is fully fenced in. I have experience taking care of dogs that have recently had surgery and require carrying up/down stairs and lifting in/out of the car, have needed meds both orally and via injection, elderly dogs that need frequent trips outside, and high anxiety dogs that need close contact and attention and don't do well with other animal interactions. I am happy to meet individual pet needs based on health, personality, etc...
About: Dogs have been my constant companions throughout my life, and I've loved training and caring for them every step of the way. Currently volunteering with the La Plata County Humane Society has only deepened my commitment to animal welfare. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I'll keep you connected with plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I do not have any hobbies or obligations that would take me away from them for more than a few hours. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate. I will care for your pets however you may wish! I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks or to the dog park, or simply lounging at home with them. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate.
About: I grew up with dogs of my own and have dog-sat for several friends and employers. I find dog-walking very meditative, and the personality of dogs can really come alive outdoors. I’m very attentive to energy levels, food/water intake, and of course, play time! I’m currently working part-time during the week but have my mornings and evenings open, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to chat more about what your pet care needs look like! Having my own cat, I always cat-proof my home to ensure that my cat is safe whether I am home or not. Before leaving the house, I always ensure my cat has enough food and fresh water. I would not only do this at your home, but I would also leave it better than I found it, treating your home as your sacred space that deserves respect, privacy, and cleanliness.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, and I have been able to spend lots of time with furry friends!! I definitely love animals more than people. My mom has boarded dogs for years, so I have learned to feed, walk and take care of pets. I worked at a doggie/cat daycare and boarding place for a year and a half as a supervisor, and I learned a lot with that experience. I love hiking and going for walks, and I love hanging out with furry friends! I am currently in school, and do not have a job. I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and I am able to stop by often. I will make sure the dog is fed, and gets outside when needed. If the dog needs to be in a crate, I will put them in a crate. If the dog needs a harness for walking I will absolutely use it.
About: Owner of Betty White, an 8 yr old res dog. I've doggysat multiple dogs and exercising them on walks esp on trail. I like to walk them in the am before the heat sets in. I'm pretty available M-F outside of kid dropoff (7-830am and pickup 3-4pm). Weekends are hit or miss depending on recreation. I'm downtown so within a 10 min drive is preferable. I only care for pets in my home if they're vetted with toddlers. Most of my work will be checkins and walks. Our dog doesn't bark so having a barking dog would startle the kids.
About: offering service of house sitting and staying with your pet. I have grown up with a dog(s) all my life, ever since I was a young child. I have a passion for dogs and am excited to help you out! I am used to walking my medium sized dog at my family's home and continue to help my friends and family out when they need walks/sitting for their dogs. I have trained my dog to shake, sit, and wait for treats - because it's a lot of fun! :) I truly love dogs and all animals and hope to help you out on your dog walking, dog sitting, and other services if needed. I fostered a cat in my apartment last year, so I also am good with cats! Usually awake by 6:30/7AM. I work as a server in the evenings for 4 hour shifts. Able to watch and let out dogs throughout the day and stay at your home if preferred. I ensure each pet has been fed, let outside, and walked or activities each day. I make sure they are comfortable with me, and if they like to cuddle, I love to cuddle with them too!

Mark P.
“When my son Mark and I went to the village of Shishmaref, Alaska one summer, he spent his whole two weeks caring for my dad's 12 Iditarod Alaskan sled dogs. It was during the summer when they were tied up. He walked the dogs every day and trained his nieces and nephews on how to care for them. He fed, watered, and walked them around the village one at a time getting know their personalities. Pretty soon they became his best friend! During the summer everyone is busy subsisting for food so this was a great help to my family. My dad running the Iditarod 11 times and came in second in 1980 carries down our strong connection and how to care them. Everyone one of us own a dog!”
Hannah K.
“Hannah was awesome!! Our dog warmed up to her super fast. She was extremely nice and took great care of our dog!”
