Dog Walking Mayday

About: Hello! I’m Katherine and I love dogs! Speaking from experience of being a dog owner I know how tough and stressful it is trusting in someone to care for your pet(s). I take this responsibility seriously and I want you to feel at ease while you’re away! Im guaranteed to send detailed updates and photos frequently throughout my visit, and Im here to provide all the love and care your pet needs. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I have lots of time to for dogs! I can be available for walks, drop ins, or extended stays. Unfortunately I am unable to host any pets at my home. With my experience with dog sitting, working in doggie day cares and with sled dogs, I am very comfortable handling a wide range of dogs and their needs/routine. I am attentive when following instructions and vigilant to their behavior.

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 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.

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.

About: I have taken care of many peoples pets for many years including dogs, cats, reptiles, and chickens. I have administered medication to animals in the past among many other tasks that care for a pets basic needs. Im up for anything a pet may need. I am currently working part time and have a flexible open schedule. Im up for working holidays and weekends if needed and can take in short or longer term jobs. I live close to public trails as well as have direct access to the river trail in Durango. I have two friendly cats at home who are good with dogs. I am also happy to stay at the pet owners home if that is where they are most comfortable.

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: 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: 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 grew up with dogs and cats and love them both! I am reliable and love staying active with them. I’ve worked as a dog sitter for about 3 years and I am ready to take on more. I am very responsible and my schedule is flexible right now. When I pet/house sit it is usually at the client’s house. I am clean and make sure everything is left better than how I found it. I am flexible with my schedule, I am usually out in Pagosa Wednesdays and Thursdays as an esthetician but that is also subject to change based on my appointments scheduled. I unfortunately do not accept onboarding because I live in an apartment with a roommate who has a dog. He is incredibly friendly and loving but still a puppy.

About: I love animals deeply and genuinely love spending the time with furry friends. I also love being active and outdoors, so would love to do so with your pet. Let me know anything you need, I’m very flexible! I give lots of attention and love too ❤️ My job is flexible so I am able to accommodate whenever you need me for your pet. I love to run and be outdoors so pets that need walking will have a great time! I love to spend time, play with your pet, and make sure they are occupied while you are gone. My cat personally gets very lonely when I’m away and I appreciate a sitter who plays with her. I make that a priority!

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've been an animal lover all my life. I started watching rabbits, cats, dogs, and turtles when I was just a kid. I now have a 2 year old Heeler-Great Prynees mix that I've raised and trained from 12 weeks old! Indy is the light of my life and best friend to all. He is extremely friendly and playful with great communication and boundaries. I also was foster parent at the local shelter for eleven different dogs ranging from 4 weeks to 12 years old. I took care of these dogs for an extended period of time until they could find loving forever homes. I have plenty of experience caring for, feeding, walking, cuddling, managing reactive dogs, and training. As a self employed individual, I'm available to work within your schedule and would love to take your pups on long hikes or simple give them some belly rubs on the couch. I also offer additional dog training for $75/hr whether it's just for an hour or during a sit. I am self employed and extremely flexible! I can walk dogs at any point during the day and am available for home visits at anytime. For boarding, I'll be with your dogs almost the entire day. I don't have a fenced yard but I do have excellent trails right across the street from my house and a kennel in my house for dogs that need to be confined when left home alone. I live in a very safe neighborhood .

About: I have grown up with animals and taken care of animals my entire life. Grew up on a small farm and have worked with all types of pets. My schedule is very open in the mornings and most evenings. I sometimes work on weekends but very flexible. I go to Durango an Bayfield. I can crate dogs, walk dogs, hike with dogs and just love on dogs. Take dogs on runs, hikes and car rides. Able to do just about whatever is needed.

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: Hi! I'm Kendall, and on top of having dogs of my own for the majority of my life, I have three years of professional pet care experience. Working at a dog day care and boarding facility gives me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, special feeding instructions and giving medications, grooming, training, and much more. I am also pet CPR and First Aid certified. I currently am working ski school at Purgatory a few days a week, and would love to take your dog on walks, runs, or hikes, or just a cuddle on the couch. I have a large car that can accommodate any size dog(s), so I can pick up animals for boarding if needed. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, and am walking distance to hikes and the river path. I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I am currently teaching ski school at Purgatory, so my schedule is pretty flexible, especially given advance notice. I live in downtown Durango so have pretty easy access to almost anywhere! I live in a duplex with a fenced in backyard with room to play. Depending on your pet's needs, we can play in the yard, or go on hikes or walks in the neighborhood.

About: I have had a cockapoo in the family for 5 years and a yorkshire terrier for 2 years. I have also taken care of my grandfather's Iditarod dog team in Alaska. I can walk dogs Friday-Sunday while I have off from my full time job. If you need weekday care I might be able to accommodate after 6pm. I am primarily looking to walk dogs or do home visits. I can take care of your pets in your home and take them on walks or any other needs the pet has.

“I have an older dog with a couple issues. Lily was attentive, patient and took time for my dog to get accustomed to her. I’d recommend her to any one and will use her again”
