Doggy Day Care Vallecito

“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!”

About: I've had dogs all of my life of all sizes & energy levels! Josh, my partner and I adopted Luka in 2020. He is a golden retriever .Josh assists in sitting the dogs as well. We are very active & love to be outside, so does Luka! Luka is a very gentle giant who enjoys other dogs. We can accommodate all sizes & energy levels, although, we prefer to house dogs that tend not to bark a ton & are well behaved. Please let us know how your dog acts. We have a fenced in backyard and work from home so they will get all of the attention! Josh ans I work from home! We have a Golden Retriever who is home with me 24/7. He is our world! He is Super friendly - We go on daily walks/hikes. We are dog lovers! We will walk, play, feed, & care for them as our own! Oh, & lots of pictures! :) We are happy to board your pup!

“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’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.

“Hobbes had a great time. Received lots of pictures and updates. Aspen was a wonderful playful friend. Definitely will use again for daycare”

“Here for a visit and wanted to go on the train (who don’t take dogs). Dogs were very happy and we would definitely use Caroles services again.”

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.

“Dottie had a great little vacation day! Makaya sent pics and took good care of our little girl.”

“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!”

“Kimberly was wonderful, Beetle had a great time with her pup and I will definitely be booking her for future needs!”

Heather M.

“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're excited to welcome your furry friends and provide them with all the love and attention they deserve. I'm home full time and offer a very flexible schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet's needs throughout the week, with only occasional travel interruptions.

I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and follow your care instructions to make the transition as seamless as possible for your pet.

“This was our first time using Rover and William and Amanda provided the best experience for our 4 month old puppy Hobbes. He had a blast with their other dogs and was so happy. I received regular updates with pictures and they were so accommodating of schedules and timing for pick up and drop off. We will be using them again with Hobbes and we navigate our puppy's new adventures. Thank you for all of the great work.”

“Brooke is very communicative and provides quick responses. She updated us with pictures of our pup throughout the day and was understanding when my pup was having stomach issues.”

Katlyn M.

“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!”

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.

“Kaija and family were so helpful to us and watched Frank while we traveled out of town for the day. Highly recommend Kaija and her pet sitting services when you visit Durango.”
