She is a wonderful person.”
About: I strive to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets—loving, attentive & dependable. I work from home as a special education teacher for an online school which gives me the time and flexibility to comfort and care for pets with all different kinds of needs. I am an animal lover to the core, the kind of person who always thinks of my pets needs/comfort first. We have a friendly 4 year old dog and an indifferent 17 year old cat of our own, so please keep that in mind when booking. Our home is in the country with a fully fenced/chain link yard. The environment is calm and quiet throughout the day. I take my own dog on at least 2 walks per day, and like to go to the nearby pond when we have extra time. Weekend adventures usually include hikes, playing in the snow (when available), long walks/adventures, etc. Potty breaks are provided throughout the day, at least every few hours and on demand. Giving love (pets, scratches, cuddles) is full time around here! I have had my own pets and sat for family and friends countless times over the years. I started using Rover for my dog last year and loved our experience, so I decided to provide my own services for those who might need it. I hope to build a clientele of returning customers based on my loving/caring nature and attentive home environment. I work from home, so love and attention are provided all day long. I take my own dog on several walks a day and try to squeeze in more activities on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard and 5 acres outside of that. Our home is pet safe/friendly as we have our own dog and cat. Your dog would have full time love and care!
“Samantha and her family treat my pups so well they don’t even want to come home! Super appreciate her knowledge, communication, dog bathing, dog transport, and dog training skills. Grateful to have someone I trust to care for my dogs as well as I do!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and horses. I grew up riding horses and around dogs and cats pigs, etc. I am a complete dog lover have two goldendoodles myself that are my loves. I have volunteered at shelters as well as taken care of senior pets and pets with well special needs. Rescued over 12 dogs through the years. I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of the pups playtime walk time. I make sure there’s plenty of playtime and adventure adventures for the pups on a daily basis. I have a secure fenced yard and two babies to keep them company. I like to make special homemade treat treats and play in the backyard.
“Tom did a great job taking care of our pup Moog. He regularly sent updates and efficiently communicated with us. We would highly recommend Tom to watch your pet and we will use him again!”

“We had to make a last minute booking and I’m so glad we found Mariah. She was great with our three kitties. She followed all our instructions and sent updates and pictures twice a day every day. We’d happily book her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats, I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I have grown up with a cat and 4 dogs and I am familiar with the young stages and the senior years of a pets life. I’m currently in school at Fort Lewis. I have a few classes scattered throughout the day. My busiest day right now will be Tuesdays with back to back classes from 8-2:30. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
“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!”
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: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!
About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.
About: I have 2 mini dachshunds & a golden retriever that the loves of my life. I take care of friend and family dogs as well and have taken care of up to 9 dogs at once! I love animals and it brings me joy to spend time with them and make them happy. I manage a country club in Durango, I work evenings typically not going to work till 2:00-3:00 so I have tons of morning time to spend with your animals! I get off around 9:00 every night. I do not offer bringing other pets into my home. In others homes i find it important to bring pets outside and ensure proper enrichment!
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about the little things. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I’m also happy to help with medications, extra walks, playtime, and keeping things clean and comfortable—including those not-so-fun litter boxes! 🐾 I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
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!

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.
“This was my first time using Rover. What an awesome experience for both me and my senior cat. Angel was very kind, experienced and professional. She followed my instructions and did a great job. I will definately rebook with her in the future.”
About: hi my name is Chloe! My family has 4 dogs who I love to take care of. They are basically my babies. I would love to take care of your pets! I’m super reliable and pretty good about working around times for things needed to be done. I have a big heart for animals and I would love to help you out as well. My schedule is pretty light. I work Monday-Wednesday, and Friday from 3-7:30. Sometimes those hours fluctuate. But other than that I’m pretty available to be there morning, all during the day, and back for dinner time! If I were at my home I would play outside and stay with them till we are ready to come in. I’ll play fetch, tug, go on walks, or car rides! At others houses I would do the same, unless I am told otherwise.

“Kerrin was great and I highly recommend her. She was very flexible and responsive to Archie's needs and sent me pictures. Archie can be barky at a new place at first and Kerrin was very understanding. I could tell Archie had a great time as he just slept when we got home. Thanks, Kerrin”
“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 were visiting Durango in our RV with our two dogs and wanted to take a day trip. We booked doggie day care with Jackson. He was very accommodating and changed our day when the area was impacted by a wild fire. Jackson was professional and friendly. He took great care of our boys for the day, sending pictures and text updates throughout the day. He took them walking, and to work where he has almost two acres of fenced grass. We couldn’t be happier with Jackson and would use him again without a doubt.”
“Mark was absolutely awesome! I was wanting to visit Mesa Verde park and I sent a request to Mark last minute. He responded super quickly and was very helpful. Bella my dog had a great time playing with the other dogs there. Would definitely recommend.”
“Tucker was so happy to be greeted by Samantha as we entered her courtyard area! She made him feel right at home, took him for walks! Sent pictures of him ! She took great care of him! Train ran late and she Samantha was so accommodating! Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Allena took excellent care of our teacup poodle! She sent pictures and provided a loving environment for our dog Misty. Her fur babies Teddy and Lalo were very friendly and welcoming to our little 3 lb dog!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned, cared for, and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from toy breeds to full-grown Mastiffs. My experience also includes working with cattle and ranch dogs, several hunting breeds, and spending time assisting handlers working with K-9 units. That experience has taught me how different every dog can be and how important it is to pay attention to their individual personality, energy level, boundaries, and routine. Whether your dog is a laid-back couch companion, an energetic working breed, a powerful large dog, or somewhere in between, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what they need. My goal is simple: give your dog safe, dependable care and treat them with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home, so pups get plenty of attention, tailored walks, adventures, playtime, stimulation, and a large fenced yard for sunbathing. Trips to the off leach dog park when we are able. I follow each pet’s normal routine and needs, from feeding and walks to playtime, enrichment, and downtime. At home, pups enjoy supervision, a fenced yard, and plenty of attention.
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.
“Pippa LOVES spending the day with Jenny and Luna! Jenny is my go to pet sitter. Great communication, flexible, and was even able to squeeze in a last minute day of day care. Highly recommend!!”
“We were nervous to find someone to watch our dog to go hiking, as he has never been left anywhere before. However I was so relieved to find Kenzie! She was flexible with working with us, communicative, sent photo updates the whole time we were gone, and provided Archie with a comfortable and friendly place to stay! If we were ever in the area again and in need of someone to help with Archie, Kenzie would be the first person we would ask!”
“We feel so fortunate to have access to a trusted person like Suede to watch our dog when we are on vacation and there are activities where dogs are not allowed like the National Parks.”

“I could not have found a better pet sitter for my service animal and best friend. Well visiting Durango it was so worth the little drive. Thank you for taking such great care of my best friend and the photos Cooper had a funtastic time.”
“Kaitlynn and her family were the best people to leave our boy with for the day while we spent time in Mesa Verde. He was loved and cared for with plenty of space to sniff and play as well. Highly recommend!”
“Chris was very flexible in accommodating our Goldendoodle while we went rafting. There was plenty of space for the dogs to play and he was very calm around them. Loved the pictures he sent and he was very conscientious about her food, needs, etc”
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.

About: I have a big heart for all animals. I’m kind and patient and enjoy playing with dogs and cats and even sitting on the couch snugging up to them. I’ve had a cat that was diabetic, had small dogs and cats that I’ve kept till they past away and now have 6 Frenchies and 2 bigger dogs and cats and a lot more animals I’ve taken care of at my moms house and have a kitten and puppy of my own now. I work for the city of Durango and I have Fridays and weekends off and I would love to spend that time walking dogs and would help me get out of the house. P.s if you schedule for a dog walk Monday through Thursday it will have to be AFTER 5pm, thank you! I am always watching and listening to make sure there not in anything and I have a little camera in my kitchen so I can watch the animals and make sure there okay while I’m at work or running errands.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats, I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I have grown up with a cat and 4 dogs and I am familiar with the young stages and the senior years of a pets life. I’m currently in school at Fort Lewis.

I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have always loved animals and my freinds, neighbors, and family always ask me to care for their furry loved ones! I’m currently working only a couple shifts a month at my other job, so I can be reliable and flexible with many different schedules to fit your needs! In my clients home I will be sure the pets have the food/water their owners desire, and I would love to play and run the energy out of your pets during the day while your at work!
About: I've had dogs my whole life, owned a dog daycare business, worked with many dog trainers and animal rescue organizations, and have volunteered as a trained dog handler for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. I love caring for all varieties of doggos and especially enjoy taking them on hikes around Durango. I have a playful Bernadoodle who is thrilled to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. We can’t wait to meet your pup! I have a flexible remote-work schedule and hike with my own dog every day, so I’m available most times throughout the week. I’m happy to work within your schedule. I am very active and take my 4-year-old Bernadoodle, Narly, on several mile walks or hikes every day. Narly loves to play and is friendly to all dogs regardless of size and breed. We often go to the dog park as well. Dogs are encouraged to hang out with me on all furniture, and we have lots of play time. We also have a small fenced-in yard for easy-access outdoor time. I show the pups lots of love and affection, but can be strict if needed, depending on how you typically parent your own dog.
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: I have hands-on experience caring for pets by providing daily feeding, fresh water, and maintaining clean living spaces. I regularly walked dogs, ensured they received enough exercise, and monitored their behavior to notice any changes in health or mood. I also helped with basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur and bathing, which kept pets comfortable and healthy. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of how to meet the physical and emotional needs of animals. Pet care would fit well into my schedule because I can plan feeding, walks, and check-ins around my daily responsibilities. I’m able to manage my time effectively, making sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise while still keeping up with my other commitments. I make sure I give them a reasonable time to relax and make sure they are let outside and have access to anything they need. I would also give walks based on the animals needs.
“Mariah took my girl to one of our favorite walking spots around town. I appreciated that she asked for water and a bowl given the nights are still warm. Appreciate the mindfulness around appropriate times to get a pup out in the summer.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own—a 5-year-old black lab and a 4-year-old German shepherd—so I’m very used to daily care like feeding, walks, and playtime. While I don’t have formal sitting experience, I’m comfortable with different dog personalities and routines. I love being outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks and attention. I also work shorter hours, which gives me a flexible schedule and more time to focus on your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I work shorter hours (about 32 hours a week), so I have a good amount of flexibility. I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and can plan my day around walks, visits, and spending quality time with your pet. I care for pets by sticking as close as possible to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow any specific instructions they leave, whether that’s routines, medications, or preferences. I also make sure pets get lots of love and updates while you’re away. At home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and time outside. Since I already have two dogs, I’m used to managing multiple pets and making sure everyone is comfortable and getting along.
About: I can help with senior pets that have trouble walking and seeing as well as feeding puppies and kittens. I enjoy taking care of any animals. Pet care can be a full time care plan for me. I am free to take care of your pets all week and over night. I have a medium sized fenced yard as well as a dog pen. There are 3 kids in the household as well as 2 family puppies and 1 adult dog.
About: I’m caring, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give extra love and attention to puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable and easy to work with, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep pets safe, follow their normal routines, and pay close attention to their needs and behavior. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: hi my name is Chloe! My family has 4 dogs who I love to take care of. They are basically my babies. I would love to take care of your pets! I’m super reliable and pretty good about working around times for things needed to be done. I have a big heart for animals and I would love to help you out as well. My schedule is pretty light. I work Monday-Wednesday, and Friday from 3-7:30. Sometimes those hours fluctuate. But other than that I’m pretty available to be there morning, all during the day, and back for dinner time! If I were at my home I would play outside and stay with them till we are ready to come in. I’ll play fetch, tug, go on walks, or car rides! At others houses I would do the same, unless I am told otherwise.
About: Hi, I’m Lisa. I provide gentle, reliable pet care for cats and dogs, keeping their routines as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m certified in pet CPR and take care instructions seriously, with a strong focus on safety and consistency. My dog is 17 years young, so I especially enjoy working with pets who are older, shy, anxious, or used to a quiet home. I believe routines help pets feel secure, so I follow schedules closely, keep walks consistent, and watch for any behavioral changes. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m available seven days a week and organize my schedule around pets’ routines. I’m present for morning care, afternoon walks or check-ins, evening care, and overnight stays when booked. I do have two predictable personal commitments each day (late morning and early evening), and I plan pet care around those times so routines remain consistent. Walk times can be adjusted as needed, especially during hotter parts of the day. I treat clients’ homes with respect and care. I keep doors and gates secure, double-check leashes during walks, and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to provide regular updates with notes and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

She is a wonderful person.”
About: I strive to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets—loving, attentive & dependable. I work from home as a special education teacher for an online school which gives me the time and flexibility to comfort and care for pets with all different kinds of needs. I am an animal lover to the core, the kind of person who always thinks of my pets needs/comfort first. We have a friendly 4 year old dog and an indifferent 17 year old cat of our own, so please keep that in mind when booking. Our home is in the country with a fully fenced/chain link yard. The environment is calm and quiet throughout the day. I take my own dog on at least 2 walks per day, and like to go to the nearby pond when we have extra time. Weekend adventures usually include hikes, playing in the snow (when available), long walks/adventures, etc. Potty breaks are provided throughout the day, at least every few hours and on demand. Giving love (pets, scratches, cuddles) is full time around here! I have had my own pets and sat for family and friends countless times over the years. I started using Rover for my dog last year and loved our experience, so I decided to provide my own services for those who might need it. I hope to build a clientele of returning customers based on my loving/caring nature and attentive home environment. I work from home, so love and attention are provided all day long. I take my own dog on several walks a day and try to squeeze in more activities on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard and 5 acres outside of that. Our home is pet safe/friendly as we have our own dog and cat. Your dog would have full time love and care!
“Samantha and her family treat my pups so well they don’t even want to come home! Super appreciate her knowledge, communication, dog bathing, dog transport, and dog training skills. Grateful to have someone I trust to care for my dogs as well as I do!”
