House Sitting Vallecito

“Merran is AWESOME! Two of our three pups are quite shy with new people and they took to her so quickly for her short stay. We loved getting the photos and updates every day while away & felt great about being away for the first time in a while - thanks Merran!”

“Micha has an amazing way with dogs. Our dogs can be a bit of a handful, and our dogs could not have been more accepting of him. Great energy, great dog sitter!”

“Sammy was amazing. We received pictures everyday with a little recap. Luna seemed perfectly happy while we were away, I don't think she missed us at all. Sammy also left the house very clean, which was appreciated when we got home late.”

About: I've taken care of a multitude of pets since a small boy, but i have over 16 years experience training military, police and pet dogs. I work full time job during the day, but I am available for in home pet care and training (extra fee) if requested, throughout the week. I have a lifetime of care experience for dogs, but i am trained in basic dog care and can treat and identify minor issues and respond accordingly.

“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 have grown up with animals and taken care of animals my entire life. Grew up on a small farm and have worked with all types of pets. My schedule is very open in the mornings and most evenings. I sometimes work on weekends but very flexible. I go to Durango an Bayfield. I can crate dogs, walk dogs, hike with dogs and just love on dogs. Take dogs on runs, hikes and car rides. Able to do just about whatever is needed.

About: I have lived in a dog friendly household ever since I can remember. Growing up, my family always had Boxers so I am more than used to taking care of energetic dogs. I have helped raise many a puppy, as well as cared for our family dogs as they eased into old age. I recently adopted a puppy from Northern Arizona Animal Search and Rescue. We are working on socializing her with both dogs and people. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs! I currently work from home full time so I will be home the entire time your pet stays with me. I am also a runner and run 7 days a week, so I would be more than happy to take your pup with me for a short run, walk, hike or whatever it is that you would like! I have a larged fenced in yard with a gate for your dog to play in. I also have plenty of room in my house to store a crate if needed!

“Lori watched our dog while we were out skiing and did an amazing job. She sent us lots of pictures and updates during the day so we knew things were going well, and we got back to a tired and happy pup who had been taken on a nice walk. Communicationn was smooth and organization was easy. We'll definitely ask Lori for help again when we're back in the area!”

“Chloe is awesome! She is very professional, responsive and was great with my dog. I used her for an over night trip into the following day. She came over, took care of my dog, fed him and played lots of fetch, and he was a very happy dog when I got back home. 10/10 recommend and I’ll be using Chloe again for dog sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. 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. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.

“Patty was excellent! She is very communicative, sends tons of updates, reliable and a true dog lover. She made me feel so comfortable watching our pup while we were out of town.”

About: Ive been house/pet sitting for folks in my neighborhood since I was in middle school. I've always loved animals and always had a few of my own my entire life, ranging from livley puppies to much older dogs (same with cats), I can easily say ive taken care of many animals of different kinds of training and age ranges. Some dates around August might be a little finicky as I'm planning on moving but until I know more details I'm keeping my availability open! I am currently working part time! Typically my schedule is mid-day shifts (10-4) on the weekends, the weekdays I work 4-8 on Tuesday and Thursday and 11-8 on Wednesday. That being said my schedule is fairly flexible especially on weekends, my Mondays and Fridays I have off entirely! I can crate any pets that may need it, will happily stay in the same space for extended periods of time, and when on walks or outdoor activities keep the dog on a leash unless in an enclosed space. I'm open to instructions especially if there are certain ways that a household does something.

“Kimberly did an excellent job babysitting our white German Shepherd dog and she helped water a new grass and took care of our plants too. Sage loved her. They had a great time together. She is an excellent Dog Sitter and house sitter.”

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.

“Kelso was fabulous! She took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our house and things. She left the place clean and tidy and our dogs tired and happy. I would love to book with Kelso again in the future.”

About: Hello! I live near Purgatory Ski Resort and work in town. I have a hybrid 4/day work schedule. I am very flexible and can come to your house or they can stay at mine. I love dogs and getting them out and about. I love taking fur babies on adventures downtown or up in the mountains :) I am currently working a hybrid office job which is very flexible. My days off are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and I work from home Tuesdays and Thursdays. I would plan to take them out for the day to get your pup some exercise. I don’t have a yard but I have a nice neighborhood to walk in.

“Staci was wonderful with our three large dogs! It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were traveling out of state. Staci made the extra effort to come for a meet & greet and arrive before we left to ensure the dogs remembered her. Staci’s communication was great and she also left the house well maintained, even going above and beyond by vacuuming the never-ending dog hair, doing the dishes, and leaving us a welcome back treat! I highly recommend Staci and she will be our first call if we ever need a dog sitter again!”
