“We appreciated Lori’s care so much of both of our dogs and their varying needs. She kept us updated with pictures and reassuring words, readily available to engage in exchanges. We are very thankful and will seek Lori’s care again when we have future travels and unable to take our dogs along.”

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.
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!

Our dog had the best time with her and Luna. We highly recommend Jenny!”

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: 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: 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: 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 used Rover in several states and in many cities. My 5 years of Rover experience includes doggy daycare and boarding in the sitter's home. This daycare outing with Lori was an exemplary experience. First, the setting is ideal for my dog, safe but free to roam a sizable and appropriate space, outdoors and indoors, with her other dogs, and Lori is the consummate dog lover and handler. Her warm, calm and kind nature along with her qualified experience immediately establishes trust and confidence in her caring for my dog. She is a caring human being towards people as well, never making me feel like I was bothering her with my questions or conversation; she never rushed me. Honestly I will look for opportunities for my dog to have daycare with Lori and her dogs because it is so good for my dog to have fun, be able to socialize with other dogs in another environment, and be looked after by people other than me or my husband. We are relatively new to this town and are so grateful to have found Lori.”
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.
“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”

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

“Katelyn was very kind to accept our last minute request to daycare Inky. She gave us feedback and sent photos and Inky had a good day. We look forward to using her services again next time we are in town!”
“Bonita watched our two pups for a day while we explored the town. She was very communicative and sent a lot of sweet picture of our pups. Highly recommend Bonita as a petsitter!”
About: Whether you’re hitting the trails, skiing at Wolf Creek, soaking in the hot springs, rafting the river, or heading out for a full day of exploring, you shouldn’t have to spend your adventure worrying about the pets waiting back at your cabin, Airbnb, or home. I offer reliable, attentive pet check-ins and boarding throughout the Pagosa Springs area. I’ll make sure your pets get the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while you’re away — including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications as needed, and plenty of belly rubs. What sets me apart is that I’m a registered flight nurse and Army officer, so being dependable, responsible, and calm under pressure is quite literally part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. And most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat yours like I’d want someone to treat my own. Perfect for Pagosa Springs locals AND visitors who need someone trustworthy to pop in while they hike, ski, soak, explore or simply enjoy a long day out. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care and drop-in visits into my week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether that means an early-morning potty break, midday walk, dinner-time visit, medication on a specific schedule, or some extra playtime and companionship, I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and consistent. I especially enjoy helping Pagosa Springs locals and visitors who want to spend a full day hiking, skiing, soaking, or exploring without worrying about their pets back at home. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable planning my day around the animals in my care — because when you trust me with your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, and my very friendly dog loves making new friends and playing throughout the day. In clients’ homes, I can provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space and their pet’s normal routine.
“Skye was so accommodating to our needs. She genuinely cares about the comfort and safety of her charges. I'm very thankful for her help with our 2 year old vizsla. I highly recommend her!”

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.

“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!”
“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.”

“Ansley and Molly were so great with Buddy. If I lived closer I would for sure take Buddy there. I fully recommend Ansley. If you want to take the train she is minute’s away from the Depot.”
“Sarah took care of our Jack Russell for an overnight stay. She was very quick to respond to all messages and sent me some pictures during the stay. I would highly recommend Sarah!”
“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.”
“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”
“Courtney was super communicative and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and pictures of my pup while staying with her. I could tell Courtney really loved dogs and they mean the world to her. Would definitely use her services again when in the Durango area.”
