“Jenny has been an amazing dogsitter for us. We have started using her every time we go out of town. Our 3 dogs have very different personalities. One is old, one is a very large puppy, and the third doesn't love to play with other dogs. Despite their differences, she has been able to manage them seemlessly. She is caring and truly loves our dogs. She sent lots of pictures so we could se how cuddled and happy they were. I would highly recommend Jenny's services.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, starting from a young age. My parents had a little farm and a love for Boxers, a very high energy breed. I have a preference for Great-Danes and other gentle giants, but I love all dogs! Our 1.5 acre backyard is fenced and ready for your pet to play, potty, and chill with our 8 year-old graying pup, Olympus. I walk my pet one mile everyday and often run another mile on my own since my dog is elderly and cannot run with me. Meals are twice, sometimes three times a day. I clean the floors, rugs, and all doggie blankets once a week to maintain a hygienic environment. I work from home so I am always around. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your pups needs. I can manage high-energy pups and dogs with separation anxiety. I have air conditioning and I have an insurance plan through Pet Care Insurance.
“I was so happy to meet Ginia. It was Easter weekend and wasn’t sure if anyone would be able to watch my pups for a few hours. Ginia was available and quickly responded to my request. Her gated back yard is perfect for my pups. She sent me pics and videos of the two pups which eased my anxiety of leaving them with someone else. Highly recommend Ginia with your animals. Clearly she loves animals. She even has chickens and quail. She even shared her quail eggs with me. Thank you Ginia for taking good care of my fur babies.”

“Absolute best dog sitters EVER! my girls had the best time. Updates and everything and absolutely loved everything about this. I usually have a hard time leaving them alone but not this time. Such a great choice. Thank you again ?”

“Our pup loved staying with Lori and her crew! We were worried that he might not want to come back home after his sleepover with them and the yard full of balls ;) We will absolutely be booking again in the future, thank you!”

“MaKaya, was excellent to work with. She was always responsive in communication. Her puppy and my old dog got along very well. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend MaKaya!”

“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”

“My first time using Rover did not disappoint! Jackson was a god send and exceeded his 5-Star rave reviews! He immediately put my mind at ease with his calm demeanor and stellar communication skills. From his prompt response times to the updates he sent throughout the day, I knew my sweet pup was in wonderful hands! Grateful is an understatement!”

“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”

“Courtney went above and beyond in caring for our dog, Tug. She sent pictures and videos every day. He had a minor eye problem that she communicated immediately to me. Then she drove to my house to get some meds I had for him to treat it. She also dropped him off at our house at the end of his stay. I highly recommend her. Tug got along great with her dog. He also got to snuggle with Courtney and Dax and sleep on the bed just like at home. I am very pleased with the care he recieved-really put my mind at ease as we were gone for over 2 weeks.”

“5+ stars. Ulli is still a pup and this was the first time I left him with a non-family member. Ulli had a blast and came back happy and healthy. Nichole sent lots of pics of him out enjoying Tahoe life. She even went above and beyond by giving him a brushing and organizing all of his things for pick-up. Really the best. HIGHLY recommend.”

About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 20 years providing pet care and dog training, holding multiple dog training certifications with the leading organizations in the country (KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, CTC). I offer limited-capacity boarding in my home on a quiet 3-acre property near the Durango Airport. Keeping my group small allows me to provide personalized care, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of downtime. Whether your dog loves activity or prefers a quieter environment, I tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Every boarding stay includes: • Complimentary pickup and drop-off within the Durango, Bayfield, and Ignacio areas • Regular photo and video updates • A bath before your dog goes home • Care from an experienced professional who understands canine behavior My goal is simple: to provide a safe, comfortable stay for your dog and peace of mind for you. Because I keep my boarding group small, availability is limited. Reserve your dog’s spot early by scheduling a meet and greet. Reach out today to book your dog’s stay! Pet care is my full-time profession, and I tailor each day to fit the needs of the dogs in my care. Because I keep my boarding group small, every dog receives personalized attention, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of downtime. Dogs spend their days enjoying a balance of outdoor time, supervised play, walks, enrichment activities, and relaxation indoors. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide a safe, low-stress experience while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel at home, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, professional care throughout their stay. Safety is my top priority. As a professional dog trainer, I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. My home features a large securely fenced yard for outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs stay in the home as part of the family and have access to rest areas, quiet spaces, and appropriately sized kennels when needed for meals, bedtime, or individual downtime as needed. I keep my boarding group small so I can give each dog the attention and management they need. Dogs are never forced to interact and always have opportunities for rest, quiet time, and personal space. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where every dog can relax and enjoy their stay.
“Tarah is an angel. Our flight was delayed and we ended up getting back a day late. She was extremely patient and understanding and took incredible care of Nala throughout the ordeal. She even took Nala camping for the weekend while we were gone. She's the best!!!”

“Heather did such an amazing job with our dog, Bruno! It was such a relief to know that he was having so much fun and being so well cared for while we were gone. We were afraid that he wouldn't want to come back home! She also sent the most amazing pics of him for us to enjoy! Thank you so much! Bruno can't wait to stay again!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from small to big dogs and have stayed in a lot of homes and never had any issues. I'm working full time , so occasional drop ins to let them out and feed them when I can and then being able to stay the night will help my routine. I always try to keep my home clean and safe for all people and pets and leave my the house I'm staying in better than when I got there.
About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.
About: Since childhood, I’ve always felt most at home among nonhuman animals, and I’ll never understand humans who treat animals as less deserving of love, respect, and care. My animals are my family, and I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I have experience with cats and dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs has a history of reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. I feel very comfortable managing this type of behavior using treats, ecollar, muzzle, prevention techniques, and communication with other dog-owners. I’m also experienced managing groups of dogs off leash and will work with your dog to reinforce good recall and safety behaviors (such as stopping at intersections, waiting before they go out of sight, sitting for cars, passing other dogs, etc.). I am a writer who works from home. I am available for daycare, afternoon walks & drop-ins, and select boarding for dogs who get along well with my two dogs and are good with cats. If your dog is trained off-leash, has solid recall, and is either good with other dogs or muzzle trained, I offer pack hikes and walks. I have a large fenced yard with a dog door that goes into the main living areas. My two dogs & 4 cats are onsite. Your dog must be good with cats and other dogs or be muzzle-trained to attend daycare or boarding at my home. Your dogs will get a walk or adventure during daycare (unless you prefer them not to, in which case they must be able to stay home alone for 1-2 hours either kenneled or loose without becoming destructive). To attend off-leash pack walks/hikes, your dogs must demonstrate reliable recall even when triggers are present (such as an other dogs, wildlife, cats, cars, etc.). Your dog must also have no history of aggression towards other dogs or people OR be muzzle-trained.

“Angela regularly watches my three cats when I am out of town and it is obvious they adore her! Even my sweet tortie who is often very shy. I also appreciate how communicative she is and the amazing pics she sends. Highly recommend.”


“Michelle watched our dog Cheeto for a bit while on vacation in Durango. She followed directions, was on time, and most importantly loved our dog! I would highly recommend her anytime while in Durango!”

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!
“I felt so at ease having Ana stay at my house with my elderly special needs kitty for 2 weeks. She is caring, communicative and reliable! It is hard to find good reliable people to watch our special furry family members so I am highly recommending Ana to everyone!!”


About: Although I only recently started caring for cats, I’ve spent years taking care of many different animals and learning how to be attentive and gentle with pets of all personalities. I currently have a cat in my home, so I’m becoming more experienced with daily cat care, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their environment. I understand that every cat is different, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental overnight, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.
About: Hello! My name is Kimberly and I would love to be your dog sitter! I love to play/walk and take care of dogs. They seem to love when I give them my full attention! I've had dogs my entire life and I'm very comfortable giving them the care they need. I've dog sat in New Jersey for a few years and then when I moved to Durango, I found more wonderful pets to hang out with. I’ve always had great experiences. I'm really good at following any type of schedule you may have for your pets. Currently, I'm pretty available, I'm teaching yoga part time and can bounce around to take care of your pups needs! I actually find that the fact that I teach yoga, help when caring for dogs. I'm very mindful and loving when approaching dogs for the first time and they seem to warm up to me pretty quickly! I hope I get the opportunity to work with your dog :) I’m an artist so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! I work about 4 hours in my studio on studio days which are about 3/4 days a week. I care for pets in the clients home so they feel comfortable in their space. I learn their routines and take time to really get to know them. When walking dogs, I make sure to watch for how they’ll react to other dogs/humans and make sure they are safe and happy.
“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!”

“Matt was extremely attentive and loving when it came to taking care of my cat while I was gone. He went above and beyond the normal standard, making sure Carbon (my cat) felt loved and that I felt assured while traveling. I was able to enjoy my holiday even more receiving daily updates, videos and pictures of their time together. Matt is an amazing caretaker and I would confidently recommend him to anyone wanting their animal in good hands while they’re away!”

I have watched a number of dogs ranging from Golden Retrievers to Australian Shepards to labs to terriers to daschunds. I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Overall, I love dogs of all ages and sizes and would love to care for you dogs! I work full time between two jobs, but have a flexible schedule. I have a degree in Biology.

I can assure that your pet will get the maximum amount of attention and all of their needs will be met. I always make sure the pets I am sitting are not left alone for too long and ensure that they get adequate exercise. If the owner specifies activities the dog enjoys I make sure to do that with them!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was ten years old. I love spending time with animals, giving them love and taking them for walks, hikes or even a swim.

I am currently working part-time Monday through Thursday afternoons. The rest of the time I’m available to take care of your pets. My work hours are somewhat flexible. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door and a shaded porch. There is always water available inside and outside. And of course, I love to give snacks if allowed. I have an 18 month old mixed breed female who loves most other dogs. Hence, it would be important to have a meet and greet to be sure our pets get along.

“We were so happy to have found Jenny. My dog Freya and her pup Luna had a blast playing, napping and hanging out at Jenny's place. Jenny was responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Freya can't wait for her next doggie daycare or overnight! We highly recommend Jenny (and Luna) :-)”

About: Hi, I'm Christa, and I'm located on the north side of Durango, Colorado. My home is set up perfectly for dogs, with a great yard for them to play in. Though we don't have pets of our own due to our travel needs, my daughters and I absolutely love caring for animals. We're excited to welcome your furry friends and provide them with all the love and attention they deserve. I'm home full time and offer a very flexible schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet's needs throughout the week, with only occasional travel interruptions. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. I provide a secure and comfortable environment in my home, with supervised outdoor play in our spacious yard. My family and I are attentive caregivers who prioritize creating a stress-free, loving atmosphere for every pet. In my home, your pet will feel like a part of the family. With full-time supervision, I offer regular walks, outdoor playtime in our open yard (always supervised), and plenty of affection to keep your furry friend happy and healthy. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and follow your care instructions to make the transition as seamless as possible for your pet.
“Carole was perfect for our pup. She got down on the ground with her when we arrived and left, and sent pics throughout the day. If I find myself in Durango again, I’ll definitely use her!”

“Aspen did an amazing job of caring for my pup while i was playing in Durango. She kept me up to date on how she was doing, and played her favorite thing…the garden hose. Thanks, Aspen!”

“We dropped our fur baby off while we went to the Durango train for the day! The whole family was welcoming and we felt so comfortable leaving Kobe with them. Gave us several updates and I know our dog had fun playing with theirs! Thank you for an amazing first-timer Rover experience!”

“Virginia had the perfect place for dogs! Her and her husband also helped us when our jeep decided to break in their driveway. We didn’t get to go on our train ride but we broke down in the perfect place since we had their help. The dogs loved playing with a couple new friends there so got their playtime in while we took care of the jeep. We will be back”

“Becca was great! Will definitely be using her next time we are in town. Our dog was able to play with hers and relax outside throughout the day. He did not want to leave his new friend when we picked him up. Would 100% recommend!”

“We had never left our puppy at a Doggie Day Care and Gabby and Josh have set the bar very high for the next day care we use. Rocky had a great time and we felt so comfortable leaving him for the first time. They were excellent in communicating with us before, and during Rocky's stay. Their location was perfect for our day trip on the Durango/Silverton Train. We highly recommend them to anyone needing Doggie Day Care or even a dog walk.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly 30 years — from growing up with our family’s Border Collies and house cats, to raising my own Jack Russells throughout adulthood, to caring for two rescue kittens in college. I’m equally comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. What sets me apart is the range of care I’ve provided. I’ve raised a Jack Russell puppy from the wild, zoomie-filled stage into a well-behaved, confident adult, so I’m patient, consistent, and great with puppies who need structure and gentle training. I’ve also cared for a 17-year-old senior dog during his end-of-life stage, which taught me how to support pets who need slower routines, medication, and close, intuitive attention. I fostered an entire litter of puppies and their mom from an overcrowded shelter, so I’m familiar with round-the-clock care, monitoring, and meeting shy or sensitive animals where they are. Between that and my own lifelong pet experience, I’ve worked with animals at every life stage and energy level. I’m single with plenty of free time, which means your pets get steady attention, affection, and a calm, reliable presence while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because of the flexibility I have in my career. I’m a real estate agent with a team beneath me, which means I create my own schedule and have other agents I can rely on if I’m ever occupied. That gives me plenty of space in my days for walks, check-ins, playtime, and consistent attention. I’ve actually considered getting another dog over the last couple of years, but I haven’t felt ready for the full-time commitment again. A friend suggested I join Rover as a way to support other pet owners in the community while still getting to pour my love, energy, and care into animals — and it’s the perfect fit. Your pets get someone who’s genuinely excited to spend time with them and has the availability to be fully present. I’m very affectionate and hands-on with the pets I care for — they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love walking, so having a dog join me on my daily walks is the best part of my routine. Whether it’s a neighborhood stroll, a peaceful loop along the River Trail, or a fun outing to the Smelter dog park, I make sure pets get the activity and stimulation they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely so everything feels familiar and comforting. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, behavior changes, and whatever little rituals make each pet feel at ease. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and engaging experience — whether they’re with me for a few hours or a few days.
“Allena took great care of my poodles while they stayed at her place for 8 hours. They came home happy and relaxed. She even made a treat to-go bag with Mila and Prince’s picture on it—highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a child and have adopted 2 rescue puppies here in Durango. I have looked after friends and my parents' dogs as needed. Daily dog walks - I take our 2 dogs on hikes/walks every day, so your furry friends will fit right in! Personalized attention – I only take one client at a time (up to 2 dogs from same client) and our household is semi-retired so your dog(s) will never be left alone. Safe, fenced yard for off leash play. Convenient in town location. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find sitters you truly trust. I live in town in Durango and have noticed that there are very few local sitters who take dogs on walks. That’s exactly what I'm offering - a comfortable home environment with walks, a yard and no crates. My home is located right in town, with a secure fenced in yard where dogs can run, play, and relax. No long drives out of the way — just easy drop offs and peace of mind. I have two friendly dogs who love to play, we are all very active and will take your pup on regular daily hikes. Whether your pup loves chasing toys or lounging in the sun, they’ll have company and enrichment here. I built this service around what we ourselves struggled to find in Durango: sitters who combine excellent care (daily walks) with in-town convenience. Your pup will be treated like family, with space to play and friends to bond with.
“Lori was WONDERFUL! I was visiting the area for the day and needed another for my anxious pup. We were able to do a virtual meet and greet and Ethel was introduced to the pups slowly on her day with Lori! Ethel had SO much fun. Lori was an excellent communicator and so reliable. Thank you again Lori!”

“Angela is a delight to work with - she made a great connection with my young dog and her communication was excellent. Her "report card" from the walk was comprehensive - and fun! Would hire again in a heartbeat - it's no wonder she has so many loyal clients - thanks Angela!”


About: Raised on a farm in rural Texas, I grew up surrounded by dogs and animals of all types. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog I watch with the same care and attention I give my own! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! My full-time job allows me the flexibility to check on your pup within your desired timeframe. I am happy to accommodate your pet’s unique schedule! I love to go for daily walks with my dog, Oliver, and would be happy to provide your dog similar opportunities for activity and stimulation!
“Michelle has been so valuable training up our new foster pup on leash. Our lab has also settled in so well with her! we are reaping so many benefits since Michelle has added another physical component for them that we can no longer do. Highly Recommend josie n tim”

“Sara is by far the best pet walker out there! She is responsible, kind, and extremely trustworthy. She is also an expert on walking dogs - truly! I have two big dogs (one is 135lbs and the other is 70lbs) who are a bit leash reactive after deer/cats. I typically never walk them together because they are so strong. Sara brought over her harnesses and was able to get them to walk by her side and have them ignore distractions - AMAZING! She sent me lots of videos, pictures, and updates. I asked her if she would be open to teaching me her tricks and she was more than willing. I would recommend her to anyone and any dog! Do not hesitate to book her!”

I work full time at Fort Lewis, so I am completely available after 4 pm Monday through Friday with an hour during the day for walk breaks. During the weekend I can be fully available.

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: If your dog needs more exercise than a typical walk, you’ve found the right place. I’m an active dog owner who runs 4–8 miles most days with my friendly German Shepherd, and we love bringing a well-behaved adventure buddy along. These are not short neighborhood walks — they’re 1–2 hour trail hikes or runs designed for dogs who thrive on movement and outdoor exploration. Because these outings are active and often on trails, I’m selective about the dogs I take so everyone stays safe and has fun. Ideal dogs for these adventures: • Friendly with other dogs, people, and trail traffic • Comfortable around bikes and other runners • Have reliable recall and good listening skills • Enjoy long hikes or runs and have the stamina for it I usually take one client dog per outing, and they’ll join me and my German Shepherd for a trail run or hike. Depending on the season, we may explore local trails or head up north for cooler mountain hikes. Either way, your dog will come home happy, exercised, and tired in the best way. I know how hard it can be for busy humans to keep up with high-energy dogs — especially larger or working breeds that need serious movement to stay happy and balanced. My goal is to help give them the exercise, enrichment, and adventure they crave. After every outing, I’ll return your pup safe, satisfied, and with paws cleaned up. Perfect for local dogs who need extra exercise, but I’m also happy to help visiting dogs if you can confirm they have strong recall and reliable trail manners. Send a message and let’s see if your pup would enjoy joining our adventures! 🐕🦺 I spend most of my time at home working on my laptop, which means I’m always around to keep an eye on the dogs in my care. I already have a dog of my own, so outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of attention are naturally part of my daily routine. Whether it’s a break for a run, some playtime in the yard, or cuddles during downtime, your dog will be treated like part of the family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, ensuring your pup gets the love and care they deserve! In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. With my own friendly and playful dog to keep them company, your pup will have a built-in buddy for fun and companionship. I provide constant supervision since I work from home, ensuring their needs are always met. Whether they prefer snuggling up in bed with me or resting in a crate, I’ll follow their routine to make them as comfortable as possible. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities!
About: Hi there! I’m originally from Germany, but I’ve been living in America for the past seven years. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born, and I’ve always had a special bond with them. Currently, I’m the proud Momma of a lively 5-year-old male boxer—a true play and walking enthusiast! He’s not just my pet; he’s my adventure buddy, and we explore the great outdoors together. What I Offer: Playtime: I believe that every dog deserves some tail-wagging fun! Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or a game of hide-and-seek, count me in. Your furry friend will have a blast! Walks and Hikes: Fresh air, scenic trails, and wagging tails—what more could a dog ask for? I love hiking, and I’d be thrilled to take your dog along on our outdoor escapades. Tailored Care: Every dog is unique, and I’m here to cater to their individual needs. Let me know what your furry companion requires, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and well-cared-for. Get in Touch: Have specific requests or questions? Reach out, and let’s chat! Whether it’s belly rubs, dietary preferences, or favorite toys, I’m all ears. Your dog’s happiness is my priority. Looking forward to meeting your adorable furball! I‘m free and love to spend my time outside. Walks and hikes are my daily routine. I’m putting an individual plan together based on your dogs breed, personality and age. Secure Environment: I’ll check doors, gates, and fences to prevent any accidental escapes. Safety is my top priority! Trust and Comfort: I’ll let your pet set the pace. Whether it’s a shy cat or an exuberant dog, trust is built through patience and kindness. Consistent Communication: I’ll talk to your pet, reassuring them with familiar words. They’ll know they’re in caring hands.
About: Hi! I'm Allie, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet like they're part of the family and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have my own dog, so I'm very familiar with the daily routines, exercise, patience, and attention that go into keeping pets happy and healthy. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! During the week I work in an office downtown full time. I have a flexible work schedule if i need to make a lunch stop! Otherwise available before and after work and on the weekends! I make sure the home stays tidy and clean so pets don't get into anything they shouldn't. If i'm just taking them on walks, I make sure to know how they interact with other dogs and animals. Having a dog myself, it's ideal for me to watch your dog at my house that has a huge fenced in yard if your dog is friendly with other dogs. But i am flexible to stay at your place as well!
“Nichole was amazing! She walked our 12 week golden retriever during last weekends snow storm. Nichole was quick to respond to our inquiry, willing to make an extra visit to meet us, and so dependable. We are very grateful and hope to see her again on our next visit.”
“Ana was an outstanding walker for Remy. She took great care to introduce herself and showed us how she would walk him during her walks. She was extremely transparent in her communication with us as well as when she picked up and dropped off Remy. We will defiantly employ her services again when the situation arrises.”
“Christopher has been great on walks with my very hyper German shepherd. She's always worn out after their walk/jogs together and loves the attention. Can't recommend him enough.”

About: Growing up my family always had pets- dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. My first job in high school was a kennel assistant at an animal hospital. I would take pets for walks, administer medications, feed them, etc. I spent a lot of time in exam rooms and surgeries assisting the veterinarian as well. My entire adult life I have had a dog or 2 dogs. Currently I have two, Mishka and Milo. They are super sweet and love making new friends! I run a cleaning business, which allows me to be flexible and make my own schedule. If I do need to leave for a work day, the pups would have a safe place to be for the day. I never leave for more than 6 hours. Ideally, when caring for someone else’s pup, I would make my schedule so I don’t need to leave them home alone. I am happy to accommodate! When I am caring for someone’s pet in their home, I will work with your pet’s regular eating and potty schedule when planning my visits! I am happy to care for your pet in my home, or in your home! My dogs do great in other people’s homes when I housesit. I have a safe and comfortable home. Typically once or twice a day I take the dogs on a walk where it is safe for them to be off leash and run. If your pet needs to be on a leash for walks, that is ok with me too.
About: Hi, my name is Danielle, I am 24 years old and have lived in the area for about 6 years. My pet experience includes the little family dogs we had ever since I was 4 years old. I have helped raise, train, exercise, etc. many dogs of different breeds and sizes. I have house sit both dogs and cats for neighbors and friends. Just this past year I have rescued my own pit bull, Jax, and he quickly became the best decision I’ve ever made. I also recently spent some time in North Carolina where I often walked dogs for extra cash. I’m always walking around and exploring anyways so I might as well bring the furry friends with me so we can enjoy this beautiful town together!
About: I approach pet sitting in a professional mindset. I’m calm, caring, and clean. 1. Daily picture updates and communication. - For house sitting I vacuum the floors, clean the kitchen and all sinks, and wash any fabrics that are used during the stay to ensure your home is well cared for. Your home will be all clean and ready for your arrival. I can also include details about your pets pees and poops if you would like. Every pet is treated equally with care. -Drop in visits- 1-2 daily visits available. I’m respectful of your home/neighbors while visiting. I carefully follow feeding instructions and bathroom needs. Picture updates ensured as well as bathroom updates available. I brush and show kind affection to your pets. They will be treated as royalty. 2. My history: I grew up and lived on a 100 Acre horse farm most of my life. We always had dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens/rabbits. I’m confident with any size pet. For 5 years I solo managed my families farm after a parent passing. On the farm we also have 3 rental houses that I was land-lording and performing maintenance. I am confident with taking care of your home and treating it with respect. I was taught to care for the land and homes. While you are away, I’m good with communicating and letting you know how your loved ones are doing. I love taking dogs for walks and can do playtime with cats. I have pet sit for many different families, big dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and birds. I take pride in being hard working, caring, honest, and helpful.

I added home insurance too incase something breaks during a stay. -I also completed a dog first aid course. Thank you, Matt I am available full time for pet sitting. I can feed/walk 2 times a day for drop ins or 2-4 times for house sitting. I am happy to give your pets company while you are away. I provide multiple updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. I can take them on their favorite walks and let them get lots of outside time. I also enjoy brushing their coats while showing them love and attention. I’m happy to help out! I’m careful when entering a home, being sure to close any doors/gates. I follow all feeding directions carefully. When walking, I’m careful with the leash and don’t let them get close to other pets. I also pick up anything after the pet. I also remove my shoes before entering the house and clean up everything from my visits. I stay on the walks for as long as the necessary to give them time to do multiple bathroom breaks. I try to help your pets to feel calm and loved. Your pets and home will be well cared for.
“Isabel did a great job caring for our elderly dog. I really appreciated the meet and greet beforehand and all of the detailed reports. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat! This was also our first time using rover, and we were very pleased!”

“Jenny has been an amazing dogsitter for us. We have started using her every time we go out of town. Our 3 dogs have very different personalities. One is old, one is a very large puppy, and the third doesn't love to play with other dogs. Despite their differences, she has been able to manage them seemlessly. She is caring and truly loves our dogs. She sent lots of pictures so we could se how cuddled and happy they were. I would highly recommend Jenny's services.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, starting from a young age. My parents had a little farm and a love for Boxers, a very high energy breed. I have a preference for Great-Danes and other gentle giants, but I love all dogs! Our 1.5 acre backyard is fenced and ready for your pet to play, potty, and chill with our 8 year-old graying pup, Olympus. I walk my pet one mile everyday and often run another mile on my own since my dog is elderly and cannot run with me. Meals are twice, sometimes three times a day. I clean the floors, rugs, and all doggie blankets once a week to maintain a hygienic environment. I work from home so I am always around. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your pups needs. I can manage high-energy pups and dogs with separation anxiety. I have air conditioning and I have an insurance plan through Pet Care Insurance.
“I was so happy to meet Ginia. It was Easter weekend and wasn’t sure if anyone would be able to watch my pups for a few hours. Ginia was available and quickly responded to my request. Her gated back yard is perfect for my pups. She sent me pics and videos of the two pups which eased my anxiety of leaving them with someone else. Highly recommend Ginia with your animals. Clearly she loves animals. She even has chickens and quail. She even shared her quail eggs with me. Thank you Ginia for taking good care of my fur babies.”

“Absolute best dog sitters EVER! my girls had the best time. Updates and everything and absolutely loved everything about this. I usually have a hard time leaving them alone but not this time. Such a great choice. Thank you again ?”

“Our pup loved staying with Lori and her crew! We were worried that he might not want to come back home after his sleepover with them and the yard full of balls ;) We will absolutely be booking again in the future, thank you!”

“MaKaya, was excellent to work with. She was always responsive in communication. Her puppy and my old dog got along very well. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend MaKaya!”

“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”

“My first time using Rover did not disappoint! Jackson was a god send and exceeded his 5-Star rave reviews! He immediately put my mind at ease with his calm demeanor and stellar communication skills. From his prompt response times to the updates he sent throughout the day, I knew my sweet pup was in wonderful hands! Grateful is an understatement!”

“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”

“Courtney went above and beyond in caring for our dog, Tug. She sent pictures and videos every day. He had a minor eye problem that she communicated immediately to me. Then she drove to my house to get some meds I had for him to treat it. She also dropped him off at our house at the end of his stay. I highly recommend her. Tug got along great with her dog. He also got to snuggle with Courtney and Dax and sleep on the bed just like at home. I am very pleased with the care he recieved-really put my mind at ease as we were gone for over 2 weeks.”

“5+ stars. Ulli is still a pup and this was the first time I left him with a non-family member. Ulli had a blast and came back happy and healthy. Nichole sent lots of pics of him out enjoying Tahoe life. She even went above and beyond by giving him a brushing and organizing all of his things for pick-up. Really the best. HIGHLY recommend.”

About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 20 years providing pet care and dog training, holding multiple dog training certifications with the leading organizations in the country (KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, CTC). I offer limited-capacity boarding in my home on a quiet 3-acre property near the Durango Airport. Keeping my group small allows me to provide personalized care, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of downtime. Whether your dog loves activity or prefers a quieter environment, I tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Every boarding stay includes: • Complimentary pickup and drop-off within the Durango, Bayfield, and Ignacio areas • Regular photo and video updates • A bath before your dog goes home • Care from an experienced professional who understands canine behavior My goal is simple: to provide a safe, comfortable stay for your dog and peace of mind for you. Because I keep my boarding group small, availability is limited. Reserve your dog’s spot early by scheduling a meet and greet. Reach out today to book your dog’s stay! Pet care is my full-time profession, and I tailor each day to fit the needs of the dogs in my care. Because I keep my boarding group small, every dog receives personalized attention, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of downtime. Dogs spend their days enjoying a balance of outdoor time, supervised play, walks, enrichment activities, and relaxation indoors. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide a safe, low-stress experience while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel at home, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, professional care throughout their stay. Safety is my top priority. As a professional dog trainer, I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. My home features a large securely fenced yard for outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs stay in the home as part of the family and have access to rest areas, quiet spaces, and appropriately sized kennels when needed for meals, bedtime, or individual downtime as needed. I keep my boarding group small so I can give each dog the attention and management they need. Dogs are never forced to interact and always have opportunities for rest, quiet time, and personal space. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where every dog can relax and enjoy their stay.
“Tarah is an angel. Our flight was delayed and we ended up getting back a day late. She was extremely patient and understanding and took incredible care of Nala throughout the ordeal. She even took Nala camping for the weekend while we were gone. She's the best!!!”

“Heather did such an amazing job with our dog, Bruno! It was such a relief to know that he was having so much fun and being so well cared for while we were gone. We were afraid that he wouldn't want to come back home! She also sent the most amazing pics of him for us to enjoy! Thank you so much! Bruno can't wait to stay again!”

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.
About: Since childhood, I’ve always felt most at home among nonhuman animals, and I’ll never understand humans who treat animals as less deserving of love, respect, and care. My animals are my family, and I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I have experience with cats and dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs has a history of reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. I feel very comfortable managing this type of behavior using treats, ecollar, muzzle, prevention techniques, and communication with other dog-owners. I’m also experienced managing groups of dogs off leash and will work with your dog to reinforce good recall and safety behaviors (such as stopping at intersections, waiting before they go out of sight, sitting for cars, passing other dogs, etc.). I am a writer who works from home. I am available for daycare, afternoon walks & drop-ins, and select boarding for dogs who get along well with my two dogs and are good with cats. If your dog is trained off-leash, has solid recall, and is either good with other dogs or muzzle trained, I offer pack hikes and walks. I have a large fenced yard with a dog door that goes into the main living areas. My two dogs & 4 cats are onsite. Your dog must be good with cats and other dogs or be muzzle-trained to attend daycare or boarding at my home. Your dogs will get a walk or adventure during daycare (unless you prefer them not to, in which case they must be able to stay home alone for 1-2 hours either kenneled or loose without becoming destructive). To attend off-leash pack walks/hikes, your dogs must demonstrate reliable recall even when triggers are present (such as an other dogs, wildlife, cats, cars, etc.). Your dog must also have no history of aggression towards other dogs or people OR be muzzle-trained.
