I am a massage therapist in the area so my schedule is fairly flexible and shifts I work are short. I have availability twice a day to walk your pups and would make sure your animal gets all the love and minimal time without human companionship.

Pet care experience

Hello fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I’m based in beautiful Durango, Colorado, and I’d be thrilled to care for your furry (or fluffy!) family members. I’ve been around animals my entire life and was lucky enough to share many amazing years with my sweet husky girl before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Because of her, I understand just how much love and trust go into choosing the right sitter or walker. I have experience with dog walking, boarding, feeding, and giving medications — and I’m all about customizing care to fit your pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long mountain walks, your kitty enjoys cozy cuddle time, or your houseplants need a little extra TLC, I’ve got you covered! 🌿🐶🐱 I have a reliable vehicle and can travel up to 40 miles from Durango. My schedule is flexible, my energy is positive, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel happy and at ease while you’re apart. Can’t wait to meet your beloved companions and learn how I can help make their days a little brighter!

Meridith was great with our dogs and took great care of our house while we were gone. We will certainly be reaching out to her again in the future. Thanks!

Meridith was outstanding!! My golden retriever is older and was tired from our trip. Meridith not only took her for a short walk but gave her a gentle massage. Goldens are always happy to meet new people, but I think she would love to see Meridith again. If you are in Durango be sure to give Meridith a call.

Meridith was great! Very friendly, welcoming and easy to work with even when we needed a sitter last minute. I will definitely use her again if I’m in the area and would recommend her to anyone.

Meridith goes above and beyond for the care of others and animals. She is one of the most trusting friends I have by far :) I would trust Meridith with my dog Pennie always!
