“Hi Terri, would like to cancel Clifford’s walk today. He is still upset about the rain and intermittent thunder after his staying in the kennel. We will see you tomorrow. Please give me your phone number when I see you next. Hope you will get this.”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! We have 2 dogs between 50-60 lbs each. We were gone for a week during the coldest time and Krystal was fantastic. She was able to walk dogs an hour each day and always sent updates about the weather, how they were doing, and feedback on the walks. She also sent pictures. She was great at very communication and really understand dogs and their behaviors. I highly highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years to a hairless miniature pincher named Otis! We have just added three new cats to the family Ollie, Pepper, and Buster. Over the years I’ve helped friends and family by watching their dogs ranging from toy to large breed. I look forward to meeting your pup very soon! I currently work from home a majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be hands on with your dog and available for play and potty breaks. If I do need to go to the office it is located in Rockford and typically those are quick trips in and out! If at my house I have my dog Otis and kitties Ollie, Pepper, and Buster to keep your dog company and plenty of beds to lay around on. I live very close to a nice park with a great walking trail. At your home I will be very respectful of your house as well as your dog’s needs and routine!
About: Hi, I’m Bethany! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I’ve worked with them all and love every minute of it. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet baby boy who comes with me on all visits. He’s still little, so he’ll either be in a stroller or being worn in a baby carrier—always calm, quiet, and close to me. Your pet will still receive my full attention, love, and care, with a gentle, nurturing presence alongside us. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I am a stay at home mom so that I can attend to your babies at any given time or help out in an emergency! I can provide for your babies with drop in visits or dog walking! I will provide everything you may need plus got the extra mile for you! I love on each pet as it my own, and send lots of pictures and updates!!

I understand the needs of dogs, and your need to know your pet is being well cared for in your absence. Young, old, big, small, I love them all! *Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to cats. So I am not able to accept requests for homes with cats. I am a retired educator, now a full-time artist, so my schedule is my own; allowing me flexible availability to assist you with your pet care needs I am happy to do drop in visits to check on your pup(s), day stays, overnights and extended stays in your home.

About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.
About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the calm, patient energy I bring to caring for them. While I don’t have formal dog-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and naturally connect with them. I’m great at picking up on their moods and giving them the space or attention they need. I’m responsible, observant, and fully committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently focus on pet sitting full-time, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet I care for. I plan my days around their needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy creating a calm, consistent routine that helps pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and particularly of the family. I have plenty of space for them to relax, play, and explore at their own pace. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtimes, medications, or special comforts they’re used to. I give them lots of attention, gentle care, and one-on-one time. My home is a peaceful space where pets can feel at ease while their owners are away.

I couldn't ask for a better person to watch over my new pup. My dog just loves Hope. Such a good feeling knowing your pet is in good hands when you're out. Thanks!”

“Before going to rover for my pet care needs I got Michelle’s card for Puppy Loves Pet Services. I recently got 2 shepskys puppies wasn’t sure how I was going to handle two puppies at 8 weeks old (also being a single mom of two children 2 & 8). Michelle just recently started training the puppies at my house which makes it so convenient for the kids and me. the advice and knowledge that she gives to us each week is amazing the kids are learning every week something new that they can teach the dogs and be involved. Michelle is so patient with the dogs and the kids and myself because before her we were lost on what to do never really professionally trained other dogs I have had in the past . I highly recommend Michelle for all of your dog needs you won’t be disappointed.”
