Doggy Day Care in Rockford

“Josh was great. It was our first time leaving our pup with someone that was not family. He sent pictures and kept us up to speed on how he was doing. Felt very comfortable with Josh taking care of our pup and would definitely book again.”

“Puppy is home after his stay, and is happy, clean and very tired! Sitters are extremely responsive and accommodating, will definitely trust them with my boy again!”

“So great with my 4 month old puppy! Recieved lots of photos and videos and he was really having the best time. You can tell she loves what she does, and the dogs love her just as much ❤️”

“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”

“Ross did a fantastic job watching our golden retriever. He provided lots of phots, updates and allowed me to extended her stay by an extra 90 minutes.”

“We were so lucky to have found Elise last minute - she was wonderful! Super helpful, thorough and sent us the cutest pictures. Highly recommend!”

“I appreciate Christine being flexible with our schedule for a special occasion! Mickey had a great time and enjoyed the treat puzzle. Thanks Christine”

“Kathy did a great job with my little girl Marley. I usually get a little nervous trying out a new sitter but I've been trying to find the perfect fit and I think I finally found it. She had zero anxiety she felt totally comfortable and at home and even ate all of her dinner which she never does when she's nervous or in a new place that she's not comfortable in as soon as Kathy said she was curled up on her lap sleeping I know we found a winner. I would refer her to anyone looking for a loving caring laid back sitter with a few furry Friends for your fur baby too have for company”

“If Ru isn’t available, we do not travel.”

“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”

“Another good care giver day for our dog. It was a treat to see that Soraya now has a fenced in play area. Having other dogs to romp with is Hershey‘s favorite thing.”

“Thankful to have found Bree! She was very attentive to Grace and sent lots of pictures. Would not hesitate to recommend and return.”

About: Hi! I have grown up with large dogs my whole life. I now own a Great Dane who loves to host doggies in his home. I do have a cat who ignores all dogs and hides upstairs! My house is completely doggie proof and ready for any size puppy. The back yard is completely fenced off, just make sure your puppy is up to date on flea and tick since it is partially wooded. Who is ready to play? I work 2 days a week 12 hr shifts as a nurse. If your puppy stays over night I would prefer they are crate trained. My husband also works 12s and is sometimes home if I am at work. I will give potty/walk breaks as frequent as your puppy needs but if boarding they will have to be alone for the night if it overlaps the 2 days I work that week. Other than that I will feed whenever and they are free to do as they please. If your dog feels uncomfortable with the size of my dog I am able to separate them and try to keep them on separate outside schedules. I will send plenty of pictures during their stay :)

“Kerrigan has always been so unbelievably passionate about animal welfare, she’s always the person to go to for anything related to my pets. She’s been doing amazing veterinary work for over 5 years and I’m always impressed. She loves every animal she interacts with as her own and has helped out a lot with my cat and dog. She knows how to train, groom, and handle different types of animals together. Kerrigan works incredibly hard and will always put your animals first.”

About: If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment or maybe a date night. Recently our 13 year old Staffordshire terrier/boxer- Zoey, went to doggie Heaven. She was a gentle soul who we miss immensely. We have 3 kitties who are like my tiny babies- all very spoiled. Bam, who loves walking all the pups, and Pumpkin, and Elsa. All three are rescues. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so. Animal caretaking is my full time job and my family is 1000% okay with that. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t want to bring home with me. Your fur baby is invited and encouraged to make our house their home away from home. They will be well spoiled and loved, as my entire family will be doting on them.

“Caroline was awesome! She sent updates throughout the visit and sent cute pictures of Rondo! She took him for a walk and played with him throughout the day. He came home a tired and happy puppy :) I’ve already booked rondos next stay with Caroline.”

“Alissa was great at sitting our nervous, separation-anxiety ridden dog! We were attending a wedding and Alissa was flexible about our shifting time table. Chip was happy with multiple water and pee breaks.”

“Alicia was so lovely and took care of my dog super last minute! She provided photos throughout the day of our pup, and had a lovely back yard for my dog to play with her sweet lab. I would highly recommend Alicia and would take my dog to her again and again!”

“To whom, Suzanne has cared for our dogs for many years. Her and her past husband used to have dogs and they were with her all the time. She’s a bit of a dog whisper and loves the canine tremendously. She would be a great fit for a sitter and walker. Thanks John Arntz”

About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. Growing up we had two dogs, Charlie and Tuffy. As an adult, I raised two dogs, Sammy and Gracie, both lived until they were fifteen years old. I have a lot of experience and love for puppy training, playtime, long walks and senior care. I worked for a Community Outreach Program in Kent County, providing services for thirty three years and have recently retired. I am looking forward to using my free time and flexibility to do something I really enjoy. To me there is nothing more enjoyable than being around dogs. I will take care of your pet with love and respect. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone you don't know. You can trust that your pet is in very good hands with me.
