“Merran was great. She updated me with photos everyday. She followed instructions closely and took great care of my babies. Will 100% use Marran again and you should too!”
“Deb lived up to her already established 5 star rating. I enjoyed our meet & greet very much and so did Piper and Razzi. The pups get excited when they see someone new and she was able to calm them right down. She is definitely a dog person and they could sense that! I felt perfectly comfortable leaving my fur babies with her and knew that she was going to keep them safe and give them the attention they needed! I hope she will be available in the future since she has already bonded with them! She was also responsible with my home and her arrival and departure times. I would refer her to any dog parents who are looking for exceptional care for their pets and home!”
About: Dogs have been my constant companions throughout my life, and I've loved training and caring for them every step of the way. Currently volunteering with the La Plata County Humane Society has only deepened my commitment to animal welfare. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I'll keep you connected with plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I do not have any hobbies or obligations that would take me away from them for more than a few hours. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate. I will care for your pets however you may wish! I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks or to the dog park, or simply lounging at home with them. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate.
“Mallory & Jonathan were awesome, it was our first time leaving our animals with anyone but family & they made us feel so reassured that they would be in good hands. They came over a couple times beforehand to meet our dogs & cat to make sure they wouldn't be strangers to them which helped so much. They sent photo updates and were on top of any behavior issues they noticed. We would 100% book them again if we go on another trip, and would highly recommend them.”
“Jacob was great. He was flexible and communicated when it was important but he didn’t overwhelm us with communication when we were on our trip. I never once worried about the dogs or the house while we were gone and everything was perfect when we returned.”
“Lucy is great! She is super respectful, responsible, and easy to work with. She took excellent care of our large and active dog for 9 days with lots of dog walks, treats, and snuggles! She sent updates and pictures of our dog to set our minds at ease and left our home clean for our return. I will definitely book Lucy again if she is available! Thank you Lucy!”
“Emily house-sat for us and watched our dog ,Kuma. She did a great job, took very good care of Kuma, sent photos of him on their walks, watered our plants, and left the house nice and clean. We will definitely use Emily again!”
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 grew up with dogs of my own and have dog-sat for several friends and employers. I find dog-walking very meditative, and the personality of dogs can really come alive outdoors. I’m very attentive to energy levels, food/water intake, and of course, play time! I’m currently working part-time during the week but have my mornings and evenings open, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to chat more about what your pet care needs look like! Having my own cat, I always cat-proof my home to ensure that my cat is safe whether I am home or not. Before leaving the house, I always ensure my cat has enough food and fresh water. I would not only do this at your home, but I would also leave it better than I found it, treating your home as your sacred space that deserves respect, privacy, and cleanliness.
“Sam took care of our "kids" for a few days and our "kids" had a wonderful time! She was very communicative and we loved getting daily pics. We also noticed how our dogs immediately took to Sam- she definitely knows dogs and dog behavior! It was really nice having someone at our house and we felt very comfortable with that. We will definitely ask her to stay again. We highly recommend Sam and our dogs do, too!”
“Patty went above and beyond! While I was away, the animals got so much love and attention and the dogs got extra exercise. Patty sent lots of updates and photos and left the house even cleaner than it was before I left. The animals were very relaxed when I got back which tells me they got their needs met. I feel very lucky to have found Patty!”
“Mark was such a help with our short notice plans. Mark stayed at our house and took care of our to pups and did a fantastic job. When we arrived home the pups seemed happy and comfortable which made us so happy. We will definitely request Mark for another stay with our doggies.”
About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!
“Lily was amazing and Maverick (our boxer) loved her! She took him for daily walks, watched the house and brought in packages we received while out of town. She gave daily updates on how he was doing and even included pictures so we could see him while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Lily and will be using her on our next adventure if Maverick cannot go!”
