Pet care experience
MY EXPERIENCE: I have owned, bred, trained, fostered and raised multiple breeds of dogs of my own, as well as rescue dogs. I bred show quality AKC German Shepherd dogs for over a decade. We live 10 miles NE of Durango in the mountains. Depending on the weather, I can meet you in town to pick up or drop off your best friend, if you need. There is an additional $5 for pickup/delivery one way. I currently own 2 dogs; both are 5 y/o long haired German Shepherd spayed/females. I also have 2 cats that complete my family. CLEANING: I do not use chemicals as my major cleaner to clean my home or kennels. I use steam. WE LOVE GERIATRICS (ANY SIZE) AND SMALL DOGS A great fit for my "family" is a small to average size dog (maybe 10-30 pounds). My girls like to play ball and go on hikes - perhaps yours do as well. People always tell me that my pets are the luckiest in the world because of how I take care of them. Any pet who comes into my house gets the personal loving they all need. This is a home - not a kennel. SHOT/BORDATELLA: I ask that all dogs that come into my home bring a copy of their shot records including kennel cough (Bordatella). It makes for a happier, safer visit for all! You or your vet can email this. RATES/CHARGES: Rates apply to a 24 hour day. Thanks!

Daisy enjoyed her first day at Chris's. The yard was welcoming and the other dogs very compatible. We look forward to bringing Daisy back for more visits.
Absolutely wonderful! Our dog Rosie stayed for over a week and she was so happy during her stay. I texted Chris several times while we were gone and she texted right back with pics about how Rosie was doing. I would highly recommend her!!
Sookie came home happy and healthy after staying with Chris. Chris was very responsive to my arrival and pick-up times. And she sent lots of cute pix of Sookie. Thanks.
Chris’ home is peaceful and playful. Two sweet German Shepherd girls live with her and are very welcoming to new dogs. My Taz had an excellent stay and would love to go back. She is my top choice in Durango, Colorado! Happy to have found such a sweet lady!

Information Chris D. would like to know about your pet
Due to my elderly Newfie being a male, it upsets his pack leader senses to have a young large male on the premises. That's why smaller and/or older dogs fit well in here. I do know human CPR.
A typical day
I have a quiet dirt road around my neighborhood I can walk on if the dog can handle that. Otherwise, we play ball in the backyard.
