“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.”
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.
“Was able to vacation worry-free. Puppy was happy healthy and well taken care of. Michaela is great with animals and I hope she will be watching my dog during any future trips. Have no reservations about leaving your dog with her.”
“There are not enough thank yous for Virginia. Our senior golden hurt her knee and Virginia took over and rendered care like one of her own. She was so helpful and communicative with me. No doubt in my mind we’ll contact her again when we revisit Durango.”
“Valerie took very good care of Millie. She updated me with pictures and a video throughout Millie’s stay with her. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future”
“Jackson was great with our dogs! He sent us cute photos every day of their adventures, and he was able to accommodate providing my dog his medication. I would recommend Jackson to anyone looking for a great and responsible dog sitter!”
“Couldn't have had a better experience. William sent messages and photos to make sure I knew The Dude was not just in good hands, but relaxed and having fun. Knowing Dude was well taken care of made my trip so much sweeter. Great communication. Great care. Great experience.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“What a great experience! Bonita was a wonderful host for our elderly dog! The house, yard and doggy door were a perfect set up for our dog. Bonita was friendly and attentive to our dog. She sent pics often to keep us up to date on our dog's day.”

“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”
“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.”
“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!!”

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. I typically only work during the day, a couple times a week. So that would always give me time with your pets in the morning and all afternoon and night. 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: 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.
“Madeline is fantastic with my cats and always leaves such detailed Rover cards so I know they are safe while I'm out of town. She really goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable and taken care of! I will look to use her first whenever I need a cat sitter every time!”
“Skye was great with our kitties! She was on time and completed what was requested for care. She has a nice calm demeanor which was perfect for our sometimes skittish kitties.”
About: I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs including big dogs. We take walks everyday down the road and back on leash and multiple walks around my fenced in property off leash. With lots of opportunity for yard time inside my 6-ft fenced in yard. We are located in a scenic and peaceful neighborhood in Aspen springs, approximately 6 mi west of Pagosa springs. Your dog will be able to run and play as much as it wants (supervised, of course) on my fenced in one and a half acre property. I was given my first doggie duties at the age of 5, and other than when I was in the military, dogs have always been a part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, one is a german shepherd/catahoula mix at about 2 yrs. old (still an active and playful pup) and the other is a husky/lab mix at about 12 yrs. old. both have lots of experience with other dogs. I don't spend much time away from the property these days. I do however have a part-time job in town that will keep me away from the house for about 4 to 6 hours and it's no problem taking an extended break if dogs need attention. You can be assured that when I'm away your pups will be safe, secure and comfortable. With plenty of space to stretch out in my three bedroom home. I live on just over an acre, in a nice qiuet country setting. The property is completely fenced in and gated with lots of trees and bushes there's also an "inner" yard surrounded by a 6ft cedar fence coming off the back porch of the house.
“Stephanie is very professional and wonderful with my scaredy cat. She has great techniques to offer her connection without making my cat feel pressured. Stephanie is patient and kind. I would highly recommend her for excellent pet care in your 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. 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 been caring for animals my entire life. I was born and raised in the country surrounded by cats, dogs, the list goes on and on. I started pet and house sitting as a teenager and have continued since then. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. As as homeschooling single mom of two animal-loving kids, your pet won't be left alone all day. I spend a lot of time at home, and my children are kind, gentle, and very experienced around animals. They love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddles (with your permission, of course!). I offer plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I will treat your babies like part of our family. My summer schedule is wide open to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. If you're looking for a sitter where your pet will be treated like part of the fam, I would love to help. I know how important is is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I am very intentional and aware of their normal routines and rituals, give them lots of attention and affection, and bring a grounded, present, calm companionship with me. I carefully follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walks, medications, crating, household preferences, etc. My children and I very respectful of both of your pets and your home, and I am very responsive with my communications with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for and loved!
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I’m based in beautiful Durango, Colorado, and I’d be thrilled to care for your furry (or fluffy!) family members. I’ve been around animals my entire life and was lucky enough to share many amazing years with my sweet husky girl before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Because of her, I understand just how much love and trust go into choosing the right sitter or walker. I have experience with dog walking, boarding, feeding, and giving medications — and I’m all about customizing care to fit your pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long mountain walks, your kitty enjoys cozy cuddle time, or your houseplants need a little extra TLC, I’ve got you covered! 🌿🐶🐱 I have a reliable vehicle and can travel up to 40 miles from Durango. My schedule is flexible, my energy is positive, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel happy and at ease while you’re apart. Can’t wait to meet your beloved companions and learn how I can help make their days a little brighter! I am a massage therapist in the area so my schedule is fairly flexible and shifts I work are short. I have availability twice a day to walk your pups and would make sure your animal gets all the love and minimal time without human companionship. I treat any animals that I care for as my own. I can easily let your dog out multiple times and day in addition to at least two walks a day. I have experience with housekeeping, farming, and animal care so please don’t hesitate to ask if you need more that just pet care.
“Julianne was an excellent dog sitter! I felt confident leaving Tarzan in her care. And when the weather got really bad she even took Tarzan home with her! She really knows dogs!”
About: I grew up with cats (5 to be exact). I have always had a cat in the house hold. Right now, I don't have a cat and I miss them! I'd love to hang with your kitty. I'm patient and loving with cats. I'll give them all the snuggles they ever want.
About: I have experience taking care of and training dogs from puppy to senior. I have knowledge of animals with special diets, medical conditions, or behaviors that might differ from an average pet. I take care of all animals with love and attention to detail. I also have experience with many breeds of dogs and energy levels. I have cared for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatics in the past. I am extremely active and have no problem getting dogs required exercise or just being a couch potato with the seniors who just need company. I have one dog named Wallie who gets along with everyone. He has the energy to play all day and the know abouts to respect and leave alone dogs who want nothing to do with him. I also have the ability to watch aggressive dogs due to easy and secure house devision.

“Lori was WONDERFUL! I was visiting the area for the day and needed another for my anxious pup. We were able to do a virtual meet and greet and Ethel was introduced to the pups slowly on her day with Lori! Ethel had SO much fun. Lori was an excellent communicator and so reliable. Thank you again Lori!”
“Bonita saved the day and night! So glad we found her to watch Scout our 7 1/2 month old Golden Retriever. We felt 100% confident leaving Scout with Bonita. She sent us pictures through his stay which was great. If we are ever in Pagosa Springs again we will definitely be giving Bonita a call. You should too! ?”
“Beanna took great care of Sturgill, took him on many walks and she sent many pictures. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and communicative.”
“Kristina is fantastic! My Zoe had lots of fun with her dog, Lucky. I wish I lived in the area so that she could watch my girl whenever I do something that doesn’t welcome dogs. There is lots of room for a dog to roam within a fenced area and they are welcome inside and outside the house. She even took her for a 3 mile walk! I definitely recommend!”
“Valerie was outstanding! Was visiting Pagosa for the weekend and needed day care for my 7month old puppy while we soaked. Our plans changed a couple of times and Valerie was able to accommodate us. She was great with my pup and even was willing to introduce him to her kitty and they got a long!! Now I know he is good with cats. Chewby enjoyed his stay with Valerie and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend Valerie.”
“I’m so thankful for Tammy! We didn’t have to worry one bit while we were on the mountain skiing because our sweet Aspen was in such good hands. She kept us updated throughout the day which was great. Aspen loved Tammy, her beautiful home, and all the space she had to run and play! Next time we are in town, we will for sure be requesting Tammy to watch our dog! Highly recommend.”
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.
“Fun place for my dog. He enjoyed going to daycare after the first day. It’s great that he got to play with other dogs since he doesn’t normally have that. Chris was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which I really appreciate. Will definitely send my dog to Chris’ daycare again.”
“Skye was great with my pup! She is responsible, very kind, communicative and flexible. She sent plenty of pupdates and I felt comfortable leaving Lilo with her. 100% recommend!”
“We were passing through on a road trip and stopping to do the train ride and needed a place for our pup to hang for the day, and Virginia’s place was perfect! She was kind and professional and we were grateful for the love she showed our pup.”

“Diesel absolutely loves his time with Candace, Wes, and their dogs. Every time he has stayed with them for a day, he comes back happy and tired. Candace is by far one of the best Rover sitters, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Diesel in her care.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been pet sitting independently for a few years. I work from home and get to spend all day with your pet! I have a friendly german shepherd, and a fenced-in yard. We go on daily walks in the national forest, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I have a reliable and caring place for your dog to stay. I work from home and am able to be with the dogs all day. I have one dog of my own. We go on a 2-3 mile walk every morning, and typically another mile walk in the evening. I am able to accommodate additional needs if you have a specific schedule for your dog. I have a fenced in yard in my single family home. I take the dogs on walks in the national forest and around the neighborhood. My dog is trained both on and off leash, and I will default to more conservative on-leash walking for your dog, unless the dog is adequately trained and you have given permission to be off-leash. I do have a crate in-home we can use if you prefer your dog to be crated, or you can bring your own. I do not require crates.
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: Hi, I’m Sam! I have a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young and I truly feel the most comfortable when helping others and their pets.

I love to take long walks, and have a lovely dog park one block from me, should you choose to board your dogs with me for a while. I fully understand the commitment and responsibility of caring for your pets, and will truly treat them as my top priority! I have a little dog who loves dogs of all sizes and will want to play with your pets all day long! I can’t wait to meet you and your gorgeous fur babies! On the days I have marked available I am home all day and I am not working so I will have full attention on your furry friends! The apartment is fully puppy proof seeing as I have one of my own!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from very small to giant breeds. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs with heath issues. I have a very flexible schedule and either me or my husband is home at all times. I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs for 20 years. I live in an area with lots of room to roam, fenced back yard and I live on 4 acres. I am a registered nurse currently working part time and my husband works from home. So we coordinate our schedules so that someone is always home with our dog and son. I have a large area for pets to be outside that is fully fenced. Very nice neighborhood with easy access to my home. I have one small dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I am also willing to accommodate your needs to make you more comfortable with caring for your pets, as a long time per owner I know how stressful it can be to leave them and having someone wonderful care for them is extremely important.
“My 2 dogs took to Carole the minute we stepped in the door. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for the day. They were very well cared for. Communication was very good while scheduling the visit and the day of services. I highly recommend Carole!”

“Lori is awesome! Very professional and LOVES dogs! I’m a busy doctor who needed someone to walk my dog during a few days of being on-call for long hours while my family was out of town. I decided to try Rover.com and was very reassured after meeting Lori that my pup was in good hands. She sent me a pic each day when she walked her and that was so relieving to me!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting more stays with her in the future!”

“Mallory and Jonathan are the absolute best— in every possible way. My dog is wary of new people but they had her totally comfortable and loving them within the first two minutes!! In addition to their clearly loving and being fantastic with animals, they are also totally reliable, go the extra mile, are mature and responsible, and are just lovely people. I can’t say enough good things about both of them!”
About: I have worked in the animal care field for years- as a shelter manager, a veterinary office manager, and a pet store manager. I even own my own pet sitting company! I love all breeds and types and would go above and beyond to care for your fur baby. I’m reliable, professional, a fast learner and passionate. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your dogs/cats. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and multiple dogs at one time. I have cats of my own, and have lived with dogs. I’ve been around animals for most of my life and am looking forward to a career that allows me to spend more time with them. Thank you so much for your consideration!
About: I absolutely adore animals & love spending time with them! I've had pets my entire life, primarily dogs --small & large breeds! I'm familiar with all types of breeds of dogs & temperaments. I currently have one Aussie-dog named Huckleberry, ( shown in the first couple photos )-he is super friendly with anyone & all animals! When he is around dogs he adapts to different personalities, if your dog is calm he will be calm or if they are playful he loves that too! He is excited to make new friends with your pet! I'm a small business owner & make my own schedule throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible & can adjust it to new routines for your pets special needs any day of the week! I'm very active person & love taking walks everyday around my peaceful neighborhood by Lake Pagosa! I have a clean & safe home to watch over your pet! I do not currently have a fenced in yard but will be able to walk your dog or take them potty on a long leash in my large yard! You can trust that your fur baby will be safe with me & get the attention he/she needs while you're away! **I will not take any dogs that are aggressive in nature & would prefer them to be potty trained.

Your dog will be able to run and play as much as it wants (supervised, of course) on my fenced in one and a half acre property. I was given my first doggie duties at the age of 5, and other than when I was in the military, dogs have always been a part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, one is a german shepherd/catahoula mix at about 2 yrs. old (still an active and playful pup) and the other is a husky/lab mix at about 12 yrs. old. both have lots of experience with other dogs. I don't spend much time away from the property these days. I do however have a part-time job in town that will keep me away from the house for about 4 to 6 hours and it's no problem taking an extended break if dogs need attention. You can be assured that when I'm away your pups will be safe, secure and comfortable. With plenty of space to stretch out in my three bedroom home. I live on just over an acre, in a nice qiuet country setting. The property is completely fenced in and gated with lots of trees and bushes there's also an "inner" yard surrounded by a 6ft cedar fence coming off the back porch of the house.
About: I Love dogs and cats and quite honestly they love me. I seem to have a very natural and comforting way with animals that they pick up on almost immediately. Most warm up to me very quickly. Good vibes for all. I've been walking, sitting, visiting and playing with dogs and cats for over 15 years. It all got started with neighbors and friends often asking me to check on, feed, walk and play with their furry friends when they were away. I've been a Rover sitter for over 5 years. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat soon! Your fur babies safety, happiness, comfort and well being are top priorities while they are in my care. I work part time and have plenty of flexibility to come and play with your pet, do drop in visits mornings, mid day or early evening before 6. In your home making sure they have everything they need, food, water, toys, treats, etc. When out walking them keeping them on a leash or within voice command if you let them run more freely. If you have a fenced yard and they enjoy playing... we'll play fetch or other games that get them exercising and having a good time while making sure they take care of business too. And lots of pets and belly rubs if that's their thing .
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from very small to giant breeds. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs with heath issues.

I live in an area with lots of room to roam, fenced back yard and I live on 4 acres. I am a registered nurse currently working part time and my husband works from home.

I am also willing to accommodate your needs to make you more comfortable with caring for your pets, as a long time per owner I know how stressful it can be to leave them and having someone wonderful care for them is extremely important.

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.

My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space.

About: I've been an animal lover all my life. I started watching rabbits, cats, dogs, and turtles when I was just a kid. I now have a 2 year old Heeler-Great Prynees mix that I've raised and trained from 12 weeks old! Indy is the light of my life and best friend to all. He is extremely friendly and playful with great communication and boundaries. I also was foster parent at the local shelter for eleven different dogs ranging from 4 weeks to 12 years old. I took care of these dogs for an extended period of time until they could find loving forever homes. I have plenty of experience caring for, feeding, walking, cuddling, managing reactive dogs, and training. As a self employed individual, I'm available to work within your schedule and would love to take your pups on long hikes or simple give them some belly rubs on the couch. I also offer additional dog training for $75/hr whether it's just for an hour or during a sit. I am self employed and extremely flexible! I can walk dogs at any point during the day and am available for home visits at anytime. For boarding, I'll be with your dogs almost the entire day. I don't have a fenced yard but I do have excellent trails right across the street from my house and a kennel in my house for dogs that need to be confined when left home alone. I live in a very safe neighborhood .
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I was born and raised in the country surrounded by cats, dogs, the list goes on and on. I started pet and house sitting as a teenager and have continued since then. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. As as homeschooling single mom of two animal-loving kids, your pet won't be left alone all day. I spend a lot of time at home, and my children are kind, gentle, and very experienced around animals. They love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddles (with your permission, of course!). I offer plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I will treat your babies like part of our family. My summer schedule is wide open to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. If you're looking for a sitter where your pet will be treated like part of the fam, I would love to help. I know how important is is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I am very intentional and aware of their normal routines and rituals, give them lots of attention and affection, and bring a grounded, present, calm companionship with me. I carefully follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walks, medications, crating, household preferences, etc. My children and I very respectful of both of your pets and your home, and I am very responsive with my communications with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for and loved!
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I’m based in beautiful Durango, Colorado, and I’d be thrilled to care for your furry (or fluffy!) family members.

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.

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.

I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”
“What a great experience! Bonita was a wonderful host for our elderly dog! The house, yard and doggy door were a perfect set up for our dog. Bonita was friendly and attentive to our dog. She sent pics often to keep us up to date on our dog's day.”

“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”
“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.”
“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!!”
