House Sitting Oxford

About: I have grown up with animals and taken care of animals my entire life. Grew up on a small farm and have worked with all types of pets. My schedule is very open in the mornings and most evenings. I sometimes work on weekends but very flexible. I go to Durango an Bayfield. I can crate dogs, walk dogs, hike with dogs and just love on dogs. Take dogs on runs, hikes and car rides. Able to do just about whatever is needed.

“Merran is AWESOME! Two of our three pups are quite shy with new people and they took to her so quickly for her short stay. We loved getting the photos and updates every day while away & felt great about being away for the first time in a while - thanks Merran!”

“Micha has an amazing way with dogs. Our dogs can be a bit of a handful, and our dogs could not have been more accepting of him. Great energy, great dog sitter!”

About: I have lived in a dog friendly household ever since I can remember. Growing up, my family always had Boxers so I am more than used to taking care of energetic dogs. I have helped raise many a puppy, as well as cared for our family dogs as they eased into old age. I recently adopted a puppy from Northern Arizona Animal Search and Rescue. We are working on socializing her with both dogs and people. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs! I currently work from home full time so I will be home the entire time your pet stays with me. I am also a runner and run 7 days a week, so I would be more than happy to take your pup with me for a short run, walk, hike or whatever it is that you would like! I have a larged fenced in yard with a gate for your dog to play in. I also have plenty of room in my house to store a crate if needed!

“Trista stayed with my young, sociable cat on short notice for 5 nights. She was communicative and responsive. Trista took care of my space and left it just as she found it -- including washing the sheets on the bed. I came home to a happy and well-cared for kitty. I wholeheartedly recommend Trista as a pet sitter. Thanks Trista!”

“Samatha was amazing! She fed Winter on schedule and didn’t miss any meals. She texted me each day with an update and sent a pic of Winter with it. I really appreciated that. My house was left nice and clean. It was raining and my backyard can get muddy so she was wiping my dogs feet. Winter had an accident on her bed so Samantha washed her bed for her. She was really great so I’d recommend her to everyone! She is a really sweet person!”

“Chris is the perfect petsitter. My dogs absolutely adore him. They love to follow him. They love all the walks he does with them. He is great with my cat too. Chris left the house cleaner than when he arrived. I don’t like leaving my pets to travel. But my last trip was so much easier for me thanks to Chris. He sent me pictures and regular communication so I was not worried at all. I could see all the fun they were having together. I 100% recommend booking this sitter. He is the best.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have constant supervision, care, and companionship. I understand how important pets are to families, and I’ll treat your dog like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care, and I can stay flexible with different routines and needs. Your pet won’t ever be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of playtime, supervision, and care. I have an 8-month-old female dog and a cat in my home, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and making sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. Your animals can play with mine and I always supervise interactions between pets and pay attention to their behavior to keep the environment calm and stress-free. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs, to help every pet feel secure and well cared for.

About: I work at Willow Tree Kennel in Durango and have learned a lot about dog body language and social interactions. We focus primarily on accommodating to each individual dog’s needs and I would do the same for your dog that you entrust in my care. I have great attention to detail and have a good eye for anything that might be out of the ordinary for dog health. I actively research and gain more knowledge on dog interactions and am accustomed to working with reactive dogs or bite risks that take more time and going slower. I am comfortable working with puppies, antisocial dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that require a slower movement due to bite risk. Additionally, I’m working to become a dog trainer someday and am researching for that as well so your doggie and I can have a fun interactive relationship! My goal is to help fix any issues you may have while walking your dog and also make sure your dog is comfortable with me and their interactions on their walk! I have attached photos to my profile of some of the fun doggie experience I’ve had! A side note is that I have had my own dog and trained her various tricks for fun :) I also have experience in horse care with abused horses and am overall comfortable with all animals and behaviors within reason! I can fit a walk into any of my days but am going to school. I can do house/pet sitting but not overnight stays and am working full time. I can’t board at my home, but in a clients home I would follow the instructions given and make sure to give their pet plenty of attention and care! I have great attention to detail and would make sure nothing went awry with your home or your pets :)

“Kelso was fabulous! She took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our house and things. She left the place clean and tidy and our dogs tired and happy. I would love to book with Kelso again in the future.”

“Kimberly did an excellent job babysitting our white German Shepherd dog and she helped water a new grass and took care of our plants too. Sage loved her. They had a great time together. She is an excellent Dog Sitter and house sitter.”

“Lori was so sweet with our baby! She took the time to meet us the day before as we are new to Rover. Payson took to her immediately so we knew it would be a good day! If we are ever in the Buena Vista/Leadville area, we will definitely reach out to Lori again! Thank you so much!”

About: I have always been into taking care of dogs. Either it being my parents dogs, siblings dog, friends dogs, or anybody in need.. I have always been interested. With being a second year college student, I am really just looking to make sure dogs get the love and treatment they need! I thankfully have a job where I am able to run around quite a bit to make sure everything is in order. I can stop in throughout the day, give walks during the evening, stay over night, etc. I am lucky enough to typically accommodate most needs! I always make sure the dog is in the best environment it can be! I love making sure that the dog is always well exercised, so that when it is back home it can just relax for the rest of the day!

“Staci was wonderful with our three large dogs! It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were traveling out of state. Staci made the extra effort to come for a meet & greet and arrive before we left to ensure the dogs remembered her. Staci’s communication was great and she also left the house well maintained, even going above and beyond by vacuuming the never-ending dog hair, doing the dishes, and leaving us a welcome back treat! I highly recommend Staci and she will be our first call if we ever need a dog sitter again!”
