Dog Walking Mancos

“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: I’ve cared for many different dogs for years. From friends to family, I like to spend time with dogs in their own environment to get them comfortable without their owner and with me. I’ll play with their toys, know their favorite spaces and habits, etc. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away I’m a full time college student at the University of Denver, but home in Durango for the summer. I can do boarding any day and am flexible with my schedule. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions, including medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent.

About: I'm an animal lover! We have two dogs (Border Collie mixes) and one cat. I know how important it is to feel like your fur friends are in good hands and I will make sure I do that for you. I have experience giving meds to both cats and dogs, if needed. We have two kids, 5 & 6 years old, who are very good and gentle with pets. They have a lot of experience with animals. All I ask is that your pet is also kid-friendly! They will be closely monitore together. You may have noticed in my photos that we also have chickens! They do have a large, separate yard, so they will be in their own area when we have visiting pets. They are well secured, so if you worry your dog might get excited and chase them, their fence will keep them safe. During the school year, I drop my kids off in the morning, might have short errands to run, home most of the day, then pick the kids up in the afternoon. Our dogs eat in the morning and the evening with many potty breaks in between. As for summer, we spend most of our time outside in the yard. My husband is a wildland firefighter, so I am home with the kids most of the time. As a photographer, my schedule is very flexible. I usually only do photo sessions during the evening and they're only a half hour to an hour long. When I have weddings, it's likely I won't be available because they are long days away from home and I wouldn't want to leave your pet alone for that long, my availability will be updated accordingly. Even with photo sessions and school, I am home a lot! I understand from experience how it can feel to leave your pets somewhere unknown. I will do my very best to keep to the schedule your pets are usually on. Feeding, potty breaks, medication, etc. I will make sure they feel at home, get love and attention, play time, walks, and anything else they would normally enjoy. Feel free to bring them a bed so they have somewhere to sleep. Our dogs sleep on our bed, but we will make sure your pet doesn't feel lonely at bedtime, too!

“Ashley is wonderful! Great communication, flexible, considerate of dog needs and walked them as scheduled. Look forward to working with her again. Thank you Ashley!”

About: Care for animals has been a passion of mine throughout my life. My experience ranges from years working in an animal hospital to simply dog sitting. I cannot wait to meet your pets! During the week we can be available at anytime and we look forward to pet care being an important part of our daily function in life! I care for animals by listening to the owners expectations and then adhering to subsequent schedules and routines to meet all of the pets needs and to make the pet as happy and comfortable as possible.

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’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet!

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.

As an adult i am a responsible pet owner that treats my own pets as part of family and i aim to to treats my clients pets and homes with the same respect. I have trained and cared for my own puppies over the years and as a pet care giver i have taken care of foster pups, changing pee pads, keeping crates clean and puppies fed several times through the day. For my senior clients i make sure to attend to physical limitations, while sticking to important medication schedules. I strive to treat your home and pets with the same care i would treat my own. Supporting any maintenance activities that need attention while home owners are away. With regular check ins with pet/home owners to ensure peace of mind. I am currently unemployed and working to get a rental property up and running. The project requires minimal supervision. So i am able to support your home and pet care needs daily. In home pet care is managed per pet owner instructions with specific parameters being defined during meet and greets with clients and pets. I will travel to you home to review any pet care and home needs and interact with your pets so that we can see how we all get along. While in your home i strive to keep your pets on the same walking, feeding and medication schedules with occasional day trips with the pets away from the home, with pet owner approval. I check in daily with any updates on how the pets are doing. You can rest assured that any maintenance needs and schedules are kept up with around the home. Watering plants and the lawn, putting out the trash, picking up mail and any other light maintenance tasks that are needed around the home, while you are away. Upon departure i will clean up the house and make sure it left in the same condition or cleaner than when i arrived. Washing any dishes and bedding used for overnights or just keeping your home secure when i leave.
