Country life close to Durango

Pet care experience

Hi, I've been petsitting for over 15 years in La Plata County and have taken care of many types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and rats. I live off Wildcat Canyon, CR 141, 12 miles S.W. of Durango on 80+ acres with my 2 girls now in middle school and my husband, all whom enjoy our visiting pets. My goal is to make your pets as happy as possible and to let you have peace of mind that they are well taken care of during your absence. **About my home/services** I board dogs in my home with several walks a day around our 80+acre property and/or playtime in the fenced areas. Pets are welcomed to sleep in my home on pet beds and are fed per owner instructions always having water available. I can also come to your home for pet care visits including walks and/or medications for most any type of pet. I service most of La Plata County and can meet in town or at your home for pet transportation. I am located 12 miles S.W. of Durango and can easily meet in Durango for pick up if riding the train or off HWY 160 for those going to Mesa Verde. **About my neighborhood** My home is 1/4 mile from any road traffic and offers more than 200 acres of open space for walks and play time. Occasionally our pond fills for a summer swim. **What to expect** Each pets needs will be followed as per the owners instructions. I am one for a routine so I usually do an early morning walk followed by feeding. Midday is outside playtime and a walk. Evening offers another walk, family interaction, feeding, and settling down time with a final walk before I go to bed. **Special rules or requests** Dogs must not be aggressive as I have children and other pets. Pick-up and drop-off hours are 7am-7pm unless agreed upon,

We have used Michelle’s services many times. Our dogs love her and they always come home in better shape than when they left. We always call Michelle first before contacting anyone else. She is excellent in every facet of the job.
