Dog Walking Hesperus

About: Raised on a farm in rural Texas, I grew up surrounded by dogs and animals of all types. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog I watch with the same care and attention I give my own! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! My full-time job allows me the flexibility to check on your pup within your desired timeframe. I am happy to accommodate your pet’s unique schedule! I love to go for daily walks with my dog, Oliver, and would be happy to provide your dog similar opportunities for activity and stimulation!

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 had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats, I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently in school at Fort Lewis. I have a few classes scattered throughout the day. My busiest day right now will be Tuesdays with back to back classes from 8-2:30. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.

“Haley is wonderful! She takes great care of my dog- long walks and she always sends updates.”

“Mariah took my girl to one of our favorite walking spots around town. I appreciated that she asked for water and a bowl given the nights are still warm. Appreciate the mindfulness around appropriate times to get a pup out in the summer.”

“Dominic is Amazing! Suk loved the long runs & playdates. Dominic was great with the communication and photos. Will definitely be using him again in the future.”

Tanya P.

“Very responsive, sent us photos of the pups running through the forest. We appreciate Morgan picking up our request last minute!”

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.

“Did an excellent job walking Nala during the day while I was out of town. Lot's of communication, a bunch of pictures, and all around a great experience. Would use again.”

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 overnight, 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’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own—a 5-year-old black lab and a 4-year-old German shepherd—so I’m very used to daily care like feeding, walks, and playtime. While I don’t have formal sitting experience, I’m comfortable with different dog personalities and routines. I love being outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks and attention. I also work shorter hours, which gives me a flexible schedule and more time to focus on your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I work shorter hours (about 32 hours a week), so I have a good amount of flexibility. I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and can plan my day around walks, visits, and spending quality time with your pet. I care for pets by sticking as close as possible to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow any specific instructions they leave, whether that’s routines, medications, or preferences. I also make sure pets get lots of love and updates while you’re away. At home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and time outside. Since I already have two dogs, I’m used to managing multiple pets and making sure everyone is comfortable and getting along.

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.

“Tarah was a wonderful sitter for our two pups! Highly recommend her ❤️”

About: I've had pets since I was little. My passion is to love on the four-leggeds as if they were my own. I am there to help your pets when you need to be away from them. I am solely in the business of caring for animals. I am very flexible. Don't be afraid to ask and I will tell you if I can't make it work. I will treat your home as if it were my own. My clients comment how most of the time they can't tell I've been there as I leave my surroundings in very good condition.

“Jayden was amazing with our boy! She was really great to follow our dog’s routine and kept him very happy and healthy. Jayden was always punctual, attentive, and overall very reliable! She also sent multiple daily updates with pictures and videos, and was super sweet with any q’s we had. Would def recommend her and book her again, our boy had the best time. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals and caring for them. I am patient and understanding of individual pets wants and needs. I am a traveling physical therapist. I recently lost my furry friend, so I enjoy getting to sit and spend time with other animals. I work four days, but off three days a week. I get time during the day to come and let your furry friends out to play as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard, I am home all day, and there are no children or other pets in the home. We have plenty of toys and doggie beds!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I currently have an Australian Shepherd & Red Heeler who I absolutely love and care for everyday. I have experienced grooming and taken care of my dogs, and I always make sure they feel loved and happy! Available to provide walks CO & NM in Durango, Ignacio, Mancos, Aztec, and Farmington. I’m currently a undergrad at Fort Lewis, so I have spare time to play with your pups! 🐶 I’m available for dog walking and would love to meet your doggos! I make sure to keep my dogs safe and comfortable by ensuring they have enough food / water. Making sure to lock doors when I leave.

About: Took care of my own puppy for 15 years before his passing. Love dogs and its not really work if you enjoy it right 😊 Looking for long term puppers gigs. I'm a freelancer so they will have my undivided attention. Prefer a set schedule but I'm flexible if something comes up last minute. Would like to treat your fuzz baby as my own 💛 I provide home services at the owners home to their puppers. We'll play tug of war, find the peanut butter in the kong, chase the strange toy hanging from a string- MUST ATTACK ,let's get clean before bedtime, all until the fuzz face is tuckered out.😊💙

“Lori is awesome! Very professional and LOVES dogs! I’m a busy doctor who needed someone to walk my dog during a few days of being on-call for long hours while my family was out of town. I decided to try Rover.com and was very reassured after meeting Lori that my pup was in good hands. She sent me a pic each day when she walked her and that was so relieving to me!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting more stays with her in the future!”
