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 twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening, before and after the hottest part of the day. 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, I have air conditioning, and I have an insurance plan through Pet Care Insurance.
“Amber was amazing! I appreciated her communication and flexibility. Frank came back from her home happy and tired, and she showed me pictures and videos of him having a great time. Thanks Amber!”
“Virginia had been one of the best dog sitters we’ve had. She came through in a pinch when we had a last minute cancellation from the person who was going to watch our senior dog. Virginia sent updates and made sure our little gal was well taken care of. She’s got a great setup for dogs with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Courtney is an amazing pet sitter! I reached out to her just a few days before we were headed out of town and she was able to accommodate my request. She provided daily updates, loved on our pup, took him out for lots of activity and went above and beyond to provide the best care to him. I would highly recommend Courtney to care for your animal. She is a wonderful person.”
“Sarah boarded my cat for two weeks. She was so good with my typically skittish and stranger-shy cat. My cat was very relaxed when I picked her up. Sarah sent pictures and updates throughout her stay and was so easy to communicate and coordinate with.”
“Jacob and his boys did an amazing job dog-sitting Tesla overnight! She was happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable with the family. In fact, she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! It’s obvious he genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I would absolutely trust him with Tesla again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Becca was great! Very responsive in communications, and very understanding of our unique Emmitt. It was a great match, and Emmitt and Kodak are now BFFs. I won't hesitate to use Becca in the future.”
“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.”
“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“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!!”
“Lori was phenomenal! She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and clearly wonderful with our pup. We were attending a festival outside of Durango and wanted someone who would be a good fit for our semi-anxious dog, and Lori exceeded our expectations. Because we were driving several hours from home, coordinating drop-off and pick-up times could have been stressful, but Lori was so accommodating and flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated throughout the stay, and we felt completely confident that Frankie was in great hands the entire time. We highly recommend Lori and would absolutely love to book with her again in the future!”
“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 many dogs and horses as well in the past 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.
“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.”
“Allena took very good care of our puppy! Great communication throughout, and many good photos. Now that we're home Tubbs seems so happy and contented, it's obvious he had a comfortable and lovely stay.”
“Mark went above and beyond for our pups when we were out of town. Our dogs are a little quirky in new places so Mark was happy to accommodate by coming to our house to care for them. We got pictures and updates each time he went over to look after our pups. He had great energy and truly enjoyed spending time with them. They were tired and happy when we got back. Already looking forward to booking with Mark again! You won’t be disappointed when having Mark care for your beloved pets!!”
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.

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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’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’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.
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.
“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: I was raised on a small farm in southeast Georgia which allowed me to gain experience with many different animals - including dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, ducks, goats, & horses! I’m passionate about health and wellness and am in the process of becoming a women’s health coach. I am available for dog walking and housesitting opportunities and my schedule can be somewhat flexible, depending on what kind of care you are looking for! In addition to providing excellent pet care, I have some availability to housesit which includes the following services: Taking pets for walks/hikes and engaging in playtime activities, collecting mail, & watering house plants/garden space. I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, hikes, and engage in play with your pups, and other furry pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort is top priority! Before showing up to a sit I prefer to meet in person to build trust and make sure everyone is comfortable.

“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Jenny was very accommodating about drop off and pick up time. She communicated promptly in setting up the day care. She sent pictures of Lefty having fun and playing throughout the day. He obviously had a great time with Jenny, her dog Luna, and guest dog Reuben. I highly recommend Jenny and would bring Lefty back to her any time I'm in the area. Thanks Jenny!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Piper and Ellie both had a great day. We had never used Rover before so we were pleasantly suprised! We had a great day riding the Durango Silverton Natrow Gage railroad without having to worry about our sweet pups left behind. Highly recommend Virginia!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was a child! I grew up on a farm with horses and our trusty yellow Labradors, learning from an early age the true meaning of taking care of others. I love providing dogs the happiest experience - I find such joy when playing, running, skiing, or hiking with dogs and seeing the BIG smile on their faces! Any pups that stay with me, my husband, and our goofy dog, Miles, will have a fantastic time, as well as guaranteed adventure (as appropriate!). When your pup stays with us, he/she will never be left alone and will be treated as one of our own. Having fur-babies of our own, I understand the importance of knowing that your pup is well taken care of according to his/her needs. We hope to see you soon! I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule. Considering this, your pup will never be left alone and enjoy our company (and snuggles) 24/7. I have a flexible schedule and will update my calendar weekly as needed regarding my availability. Our home is located in Rafter J on three acres, ~10 minutes from downtown Durango. We have one dog named Miles, a seven-year-old Weimaraner who has a goober personality and LOVES to play with other dogs.
“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!”
“Our dogs seemed to like Jackson right away. He was very accommodating and willing to meet us at a convenient location. The dogs were just fine and happy when we picked them up.”
“Very convenient and close to Mesa Verde National Park to allow our family to enjoy the day. Rogue had a nice place to play and relax for the day. Would recommend to anyone!”
“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.”
“Lori was fantastic. I had a last minute change, and needed a new Rover for my two dogs. She responded quickly, and my dogs had an absolute wonderful time playing with her and her dogs.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”

About: I’ve cared for many different dogs for years. From friends to family, I like to spend time with dogs in their own environment to get them comfortable without their owner and with me. I’ll play with their toys, know their favorite spaces and habits, etc. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away I’m a full time college student at the University of Denver, but home in Durango for the summer. I can do boarding any day and am flexible with my schedule. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions, including medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent.
“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 work at Willow Tree Kennel in Durango and have learned a lot about dog body language and social interactions. We focus primarily on accommodating to each individual dog’s needs and I would do the same for your dog that you entrust in my care. I have great attention to detail and have a good eye for anything that might be out of the ordinary for dog health. I actively research and gain more knowledge on dog interactions and am accustomed to working with reactive dogs or bite risks that take more time and going slower. I am comfortable working with puppies, antisocial dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that require a slower movement due to bite risk. Additionally, I’m working to become a dog trainer someday and am researching for that as well so your doggie and I can have a fun interactive relationship! My goal is to help fix any issues you may have while walking your dog and also make sure your dog is comfortable with me and their interactions on their walk! I have attached photos to my profile of some of the fun doggie experience I’ve had! A side note is that I have had my own dog and trained her various tricks for fun :) I also have experience in horse care with abused horses and am overall comfortable with all animals and behaviors within reason! I can fit a walk into any of my days but am going to school. I can do house/pet sitting but not overnight stays and am working full time. I can’t board at my home, but in a clients home I would follow the instructions given and make sure to give their pet plenty of attention and care! I have great attention to detail and would make sure nothing went awry with your home or your pets :)
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 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: Working with pets is something I truly love. I grew up on a farm with countless cats, cows, pigs, and horses, where I think that love started. Since, I’ve volunteered for an animal shelter, cared for other’s pets (housesitting, walking, drop in visits), and had my own doggo for thirteen years, and recently adopted a sweet family dog. Under my care, you can trust that your pet will be safe and happy. At the moment, pet care is my main priority! I haven’t any major responsibilities competing with it, so I can dedicate a great deal of time and love into pet care. I’d love to make a schedule where I can take your dog on long walks/hikes and cuddle, or give your kitty lots of love throughout the day! When I care for a pet, I take that responsibly very seriously. I follow instructions closely and give the cat and/or dog all the love and pets! I’m happy to provide as many updates and pictures that you’d like to give you peace of mind, as that’s what I would want as a pet owner myself!
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals and caring for them. I am patient and understanding of individual pets wants and needs. I am a traveling physical therapist. I recently lost my furry friend, so I enjoy getting to sit and spend time with other animals. I work four days, but off three days a week. I get time during the day to come and let your furry friends out to play as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard, I am home all day, and there are no children or other pets in the home. We have plenty of toys and doggie beds!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I currently have an Australian Shepherd & Red Heeler who I absolutely love and care for everyday. I have experienced grooming and taken care of my dogs, and I always make sure they feel loved and happy! Available to provide walks CO & NM in Durango, Ignacio, Mancos, Aztec, and Farmington. I’m currently a undergrad at Fort Lewis, so I have spare time to play with your pups! 🐶 I’m available for dog walking and would love to meet your doggos! I make sure to keep my dogs safe and comfortable by ensuring they have enough food / water. Making sure to lock doors when I leave.
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.

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.
“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.”
“Allena took very good care of our puppy! Great communication throughout, and many good photos. Now that we're home Tubbs seems so happy and contented, it's obvious he had a comfortable and lovely stay.”
“Mark went above and beyond for our pups when we were out of town. Our dogs are a little quirky in new places so Mark was happy to accommodate by coming to our house to care for them. We got pictures and updates each time he went over to look after our pups. He had great energy and truly enjoyed spending time with them. They were tired and happy when we got back. Already looking forward to booking with Mark again! You won’t be disappointed when having Mark care for your beloved pets!!”
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.
