“Jenny and her dog, Luna, were absolutely amazing. This is our first time using Rover with our 7 month old puppy and her 2-night stay with Jenny was perfect. We came over for a meet and greet and our dogs instantly hit it off. Jenny was super friendly, offered quick responses via text and the app, and sent awesome photos and updates. Our dog had the best time with her and Luna. We highly recommend Jenny!”
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.
“Virginia was great as always with our three girls! Our oldest lab always gives us the cold shoulder when we pick her up from other sitters. It’s like she’s upset and punishing us for leaving her with someone else. This time, she was bouncing around and seemed so happy. Like she was saying “finally you found the right person to leave us with! I loved staying here!” So thank you so much Virginia and congrats on the new baby!”
“Amber was great! Our dog is very nervous around new people but we felt very comfortable leaving her in Ambers care for the day! Appreciated the great communication leading up to and during the stay.”
“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.”
“Lori had my dog stay over for a week. She provided regular updates with photos, was super communicative, and the dog had a great time! I will definitely have Lori watch him again.”
“Fred came home so happy! Him and Jackson had a fantastic time hiking, snuggling, and hanging. Jackson was great to send us pictures and updates. He was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We are grateful that Fred has a new trusted pal.”
“Tatiana had the best time with Tarah! Great communication, she took her on lots of adventures and made sure everyone felt comfortable! Grateful Tati had so much fun while we were away!”
“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”
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.
“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!!”
“Ansley was awesome! She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures and updates of Luna throughout her stay, and took Luna to do lots of fun activities. Her dog was also great with Luna! I felt like Luna was in great hands while I was traveling. I will definitely plan to book with Ansley again.”
“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.”
“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 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.
“Devon took such great care of Maia for us and the bonus was that she had a new playmate to go on walks with in a beautiful area. She had the best time and we’ll definitely be back soon!!”

“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!”
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Angela for the careful care she provided for my two cats while I was away. Usually when I return from a business trip, my cats are very stressed and irritable with me, but this time they calmed down immediately when I got home and snuggled up with me, which was truly amazing. I am truly touched by your care and will definitely ask for your help again.”
About: I am an experienced veterinary technician for the last 14 years. Here to provide my expertise and experience to help your precious fur babies! I love cats sooo much and am very patient with these sensitive guys.
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 so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your animals at your house or mine during the day or night.

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.
About: I have a sweet Border Collie puppy, an Australian Shepard and and Australian Kelpie. I have had dogs my whole life and have tons of experience in dog and house sitting! Although I have 3 pets of my own I am always looking for more furry friends and pet loving. I grew up with a German Shepard/Newfoundland, a Great Pyrenees/Bernese Mountain dog and a Pitbull/Lab. 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. My boyfriend and I have 3 dogs together so when I am pet sitting, he is able to take care of our dogs, meaning I will be able to put all my time and care into yours! 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! You will get daily updates as to how your pet is doing. Pictures will be sent so you can keep updated with your pet’s well-being! I am currently working full time, but always make the animals I am caring for my priority. I make sure pups get walks in and that all animals get love and care they need. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your pets to run around. When staying at you’re place, or mine I make sure to take them on walks and exercise.
“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!”
“Ana is fantastic! She watched our two cats for six days over Christmas. Our shy cat took to her right away and both cats seemed to really enjoy her company. Ana sent plenty of pictures and updates to put us at ease while we were away. We are happy we found her and will definitely ask her to watch our cats again in the future!”
About: I’ve worked at a couple of veterinary clinics as a receptionist and also helped with kennel care, which gave me valuable experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable reading dog behavior, keeping them calm in new environments, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is to follow routines, give attention to detail, and treat every pet with patience and love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m currently balancing a part-time job and my own business, so my schedule can vary week to week. I’ll always be clear about my availability in advance and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Reliability and communication are really important to me, and I make sure each pet I care for gets the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to any routines or quirks that help your pet feel secure. I take extra care to keep doors and gates locked, make sure water bowls stay full, and give plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for until you’re back home.
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.

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: 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.
“Patricia was amazing! She was able to watch my cats last minute when my original sitter fell through. She spent quality time with them, sent me lots of photos and was great at keeping me up to date. She went above and beyond, I will use her services again!”
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.
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: I'm 29 years old and have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with multiple Golden Retrievers and Australian Shepherds and love all breeds of dogs. I'm currently an ER nurse at mission hospital and miss having fur babies around. I'd love to take your dog on a walk to destress from my own job and also to get outside. I am available! I haven’t started my job yet so I’m super flexible and available to care for your pet needs and am excited to care for them. I unfortunately cannot care for pets inside my own home due to the fact that I have a cat. I am a responsible, reliable, and experienced dog and cat owner and will ensure your pet gets love.
About: I got my dog 3 years ago and raised and trained her from 2 months old! I have also pet sit for cats, great danes, pit bulls, and small dogs. I love taking care of animals and providing them the love and care I would give to my own dog when you are not available! I am currently in college so when I am not in class I will be able to be with your pet, ensuring they are well taken care of and loved on! I have a big wooded yard with plenty of space to run and swim! I also have my own dog to keep your baby company!

“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.
“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!”
“Virginia was super friendly and helped me out with a last minute booking! She was really nice, her house had a fenced in yard for the dogs to play around in, and she sent photos & videos of my dog, Bingo, having fun and playing. Thanks, Virginia!”

About: I am every pups favorite Auntie because I am patient, very loving, and well trained with different breeds, personalities and age ranges. I have experience working with rescue dogs as well as therapy dogs. I am a very active person and love an excuse to get outside and walk, hike, play as much as possible. I have a natural sense as to what the animals are feeling and capable of. I find the company of animals to be significant and always enjoyable. I will most definitely love and take care of your dog with undivided attention as if it is my own. If there's anything you practice at home with your pet, I will certainly help to enforce any rules, training, habits, you wish to maintain.
“Ansley is the sweetest and best! She send me several photos throughout the day and I could tell Simba was having a blast and made new friends. I would definitely recommend and will use Ansley’s care again in the future. :)”
“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!”
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.
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.

“Trixie is so much happier venturing outside with Michelle. Trixie was very traumatized her first year looking for a home. We tried 3 dog sitters but Michelle had the lab touch she was looking for. we love our rescued pups AND getting date time again!”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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 would be honored to look after your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while you’re away. 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!
“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: 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 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 have 100% repeat customers. -I currently have pet sitting insurance; if I have to take anyone to the vet we can be reimbursed. 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.
About: I’ve worked at a couple of veterinary clinics as a receptionist and also helped with kennel care, which gave me valuable experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable reading dog behavior, keeping them calm in new environments, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is to follow routines, give attention to detail, and treat every pet with patience and love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m currently balancing a part-time job and my own business, so my schedule can vary week to week. I’ll always be clear about my availability in advance and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Reliability and communication are really important to me, and I make sure each pet I care for gets the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to any routines or quirks that help your pet feel secure. I take extra care to keep doors and gates locked, make sure water bowls stay full, and give plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for until you’re back home.

“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.”

“Jenny and her dog, Luna, were absolutely amazing. This is our first time using Rover with our 7 month old puppy and her 2-night stay with Jenny was perfect. We came over for a meet and greet and our dogs instantly hit it off. Jenny was super friendly, offered quick responses via text and the app, and sent awesome photos and updates. Our dog had the best time with her and Luna. We highly recommend Jenny!”
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.
“Virginia was great as always with our three girls! Our oldest lab always gives us the cold shoulder when we pick her up from other sitters. It’s like she’s upset and punishing us for leaving her with someone else. This time, she was bouncing around and seemed so happy. Like she was saying “finally you found the right person to leave us with! I loved staying here!” So thank you so much Virginia and congrats on the new baby!”
“Amber was great! Our dog is very nervous around new people but we felt very comfortable leaving her in Ambers care for the day! Appreciated the great communication leading up to and during the stay.”
“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.”
“Lori had my dog stay over for a week. She provided regular updates with photos, was super communicative, and the dog had a great time! I will definitely have Lori watch him again.”
“Fred came home so happy! Him and Jackson had a fantastic time hiking, snuggling, and hanging. Jackson was great to send us pictures and updates. He was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We are grateful that Fred has a new trusted pal.”
“Tatiana had the best time with Tarah! Great communication, she took her on lots of adventures and made sure everyone felt comfortable! Grateful Tati had so much fun while we were away!”
“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”

“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!!”
“Ansley was awesome! She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures and updates of Luna throughout her stay, and took Luna to do lots of fun activities. Her dog was also great with Luna! I felt like Luna was in great hands while I was traveling. I will definitely plan to book with Ansley again.”
“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.”
“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 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.
“Devon took such great care of Maia for us and the bonus was that she had a new playmate to go on walks with in a beautiful area. She had the best time and we’ll definitely be back soon!!”
