Doggy Day Care in Hesperus

“Kristina has been a godsend for my puppy and I. She and her husband have helped to train my puppy, socialize, and exercise her. She comes back happy and exhausted every time. Not only is my puppy cared for, but Kristina is reasonably priced, able to accommodate my wacky schedule, and conveniently located. I'm not someone who typically leaves reviews and I couldn't recommend these guys enough.”

“Ansley is the sweetest and best! She send me several photos throughout the day and I could tell Simba was having a blast and made new friends. I would definitely recommend and will use Ansley’s care again in the future. :)”

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, starting from a young age. My parents had a little farm and a love for Boxers, a very high energy breed. I have a preference for Great-Danes and other gentle giants, but I love all dogs! Our 1.5 acre backyard is fenced and ready for your pet to play, potty, and chill with our 8 year-old graying pup, Olympus. I walk my pet one mile everyday and often run another mile on my own since my dog is elderly and cannot run with me. Meals are twice, sometimes three times a day. I clean the floors, rugs, and all doggie blankets once a week to maintain a hygienic environment. I work from home so I am always around. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your pups needs. I can manage high-energy pups and dogs with separation anxiety. I have air conditioning and I have an insurance plan through Pet Care Insurance.

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.

“Virginia was great with our English Pointer. She spent time making her comfortable and we were very pleased with her. If you want a sitter who cares and understands dogs Virginia is for you!”

About: I have been working with animals since I was a child! I grew up on a farm with horses and our trusty yellow Labradors, learning from an early age the true meaning of taking care of others. I love providing dogs the happiest experience - I find such joy when playing, running, skiing, or hiking with dogs and seeing the BIG smile on their faces! Any pups that stay with me, my husband, and our goofy dog, Miles, will have a fantastic time, as well as guaranteed adventure (as appropriate!). When your pup stays with us, he/she will never be left alone and will be treated as one of our own. Having fur-babies of our own, I understand the importance of knowing that your pup is well taken care of according to his/her needs. We hope to see you soon! I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule. Considering this, your pup will never be left alone and enjoy our company (and snuggles) 24/7. I have a flexible schedule and will update my calendar weekly as needed regarding my availability. Our home is located in Rafter J on three acres, ~10 minutes from downtown Durango. We have one dog named Miles, a seven-year-old Weimaraner who has a goober personality and LOVES to play with other dogs.

“Hobbes had a great time. Received lots of pictures and updates. Aspen was a wonderful playful friend. Definitely will use again for daycare”

“Matthew was AWESOME … with our dog, with us, with communication, even going above and beyond as our informal tour guide! Unfortunately, a wildfire caused us to have to cancel our second day with Matthew, and he was super understanding and helpful about it. I highly recommend Matthew and will definitely reach out to him again next time we are in Durango.”

“We used Michaela while visiting the area for a few days. Great place with a nice back yard. She is a very kind person and will take car of your dog well.”

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.

“Lori saved our trip on Durango train and gave an opportunity to our dog to play and have a nice time. Everything is great about her, and I highly recommend this sitter. If we ever come to Durango again, Lori's our first choice!”

“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our dog. We had a last minute change of plans and he was very flexible and willing to work with us. He’s also very responsive and provided photos of our pup playing during her stay. Our pup came back very happy and we’d definitely book with Mark again if we’re in the area.”

“We feel so fortunate to have access to a trusted person like Suede to watch our dog when we are on vacation and there are activities where dogs are not allowed like the National Parks.”

LoriJean R.

“We were nervous to find someone to watch our dog to go hiking, as he has never been left anywhere before. However I was so relieved to find Kenzie! She was flexible with working with us, communicative, sent photo updates the whole time we were gone, and provided Archie with a comfortable and friendly place to stay! If we were ever in the area again and in need of someone to help with Archie, Kenzie would be the first person we would ask!”

Ireland T.

“Kaitlynn and her family were the best people to leave our boy with for the day while we spent time in Mesa Verde. He was loved and cared for with plenty of space to sniff and play as well. Highly recommend!”

Jordan T.

“Jack kept my puppy happy and took him for a nice walk while we were gone for the day.”

Lori F.

“Sandra was very communicative with us and attentive to our two shelties. They seemed to have a great time with her and her pack! Would definitely recommend!”

Kira H.

“We really appreciated Ashley's flexibility and great communication. Also, she had lots of energy to keep up with Sadie's non-stop ball playing. Thanks, Ashley!”
