Services
What I can Do For You.
-
Walking
Do you work all day and need someone to get your pup out of the house? I can tailor this service to you and your dogs needs from simply swinging by for a potty break to extended walks or other activities!
-
Sitting
We have many years of experience watching dogs while their owners are away. And, while our main focus is dogs, we are happy to care take for just about any living thing from horses to plants.
-
Training
I have been training dogs at the shelter for over 3 years and am now offering private puppy and basic training sessions to the greater Durango area. I take a relationship-based approach to training dogs and seek to build a stronger bond between you and your pup throughout the training process.

Wedding Dog Coordination
Want to have your dog in your wedding but don’t have someone to manage them? We are here to walk them down the aisle or guide them through any other wedding festivities.
-
Grooming
Katie, owner of Durango Dog, also grooms dogs at Durango Pet Spa and is currently accepting new clients.
walkING & Drop-In’s
With 11+ years of experience walking dogs, we have found that the best activity for a dog is the one they love! That is why we offer more than just walking. We have taken dogs running, swimming, hiking, and even kayaking. On top of these epic adventures, we are also happy to just go for a stroll around the block or play in the backyard if that is all they need. All Drop-In visits consist of a potty break, play time and/or snuggles.
How it works
-
Send me a text or email to set up a free phone call for us to chat about you and your pet’s needs. On this call, we will set up a meet and greet.
-
I always like to meet a dog in its own environment with its owner present before walking them. In addition to getting to know each other, this is a chance for you to show me around. If you will not be present when I come to walk your pup, I will need to know how to get to them and where their leashes and gear are.
Pricing
All services can be tailored to your pups needs and capabilities.
Book on an ‘as needed’ basis or get on the weekly schedule.

SittING
Headed out of town? We are happy to help take care of things while you are gone! If your dog is very active and gets along with other dogs, they are welcome to stay in Katie’s home where they can play with 2 dogs all day long. If your pet is more comfortable in their own space, we can provide you with a sitter who can stay with them there. We have taken care of just about every animal from horses to hermit crabs and I are always willing to learn something new if you have an animal that we haven’t watched.
How it works
-
Send me a text (or email) with your requested dates, approximately where you are located and a short overview of the job. I will get back to you with my availability and we can set up a free phone call to chat about you and your pet’s/home needs.
-
I come to your home for a visit. Here, I can get instructions on how to properly take care of your home and pets while you are away. If I was unable to quote your job over the phone, I will definitely be able to give you a price at this meeting.
Please note; if your trip is more than 6 weeks out, a second meeting will be necessary closer to your departure to ensure instructions are still the same.
-
Once our plan is set, you get to leave on your vacation with peace of mind knowing your pets and property are well taken care of!

Training.
I have spent many years training dogs for family, friends, and shelters. I have found a passion for dog training and I am now offering private training sessions. I would love to help your pup with basic obedience and puppy training! If you are struggling with your dog and need some guidance, contact us to book a private session so we can get to the bottom of it!
My approach to training is a little bit different than many other trainers. I use phycology and relationship-based training methods that seek to change your relationship with your dog to provide them with the guidance and structure they need. My goal is not to simply train your dog to obey commands but instead to coach you through building a relationship built on trust so your dog can gain confidence and enjoy your life together.
