Sunshine Country Retreat

Sunshine Country Retreat Moto: A happy dog is an exercised dog. At Sunshine Country Retreat we value facilitating a great time for your furry friends while you are out living your best life too. We love getting outside and enjoying Durango paw style. I first started hosting pups through Rover when I lived in Tahoe City, Ca— and am really happy I am able to do the same here in Durango, Co.

Nicole was great. She took the dogs for a walk and sent lots of pictures of the dogs having fun. We booked last minute with rough timelines and she was more than accommodating.

Doggy Day Care • aug. 11, 2021

Nichole was awesome from the time I requested to book until the day I picked up my pup from her house. We were traveling to Durango and took the train for the day. Nichole was flexible and accommodating on the hours. She sent photos of my dog and kept me updated on their activities. I felt comfortable and confident my pup was in good hands!

Nichole was great - friendly and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and pics and was flexible with pick up times. My pup came home happy and tired. Would gladly book her services again.

Schedule

Im a field biologist that opens up my availability when I’m off and have nothing but time for your furry family member. Don’t hesitate to reach out if my availability isn’t open— I’ve accepted several requests when my calendar has said I was unavailable. We live on 1.3 acres and our house backs up to the national forest. I’ll take your pup to a local trail for a walk/hike as weather permits.

Pets

A typical day

When you drop your companion off with me they will get plenty of exercise and will be ready to snooze when you pick them up! Whether we are playing fetch in the yard or heading to a local trail for a nice hike - exercise is paramount! If you have a pup that loves to cuddle and relax we can accommodate a cozy day too.

My dog Aspen is very laid back and gives every dog their space. He is a large dog so if your dog doesn’t get along with big dogs we would not be a good fit.
