I could not be more pleased with Kathleen! She was very well prepared. She took such an amazing care of my baby Jojo, like he was her own. Kathleen is very caring and professional! I got lots of pictures of my dog looking happy and comfortable. I can tell Jojo really loved her and felt at home. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner!

Our pups had a blast running around Victoria's large spacious yard with her friendly pup. She has the perfect set up for watching dogs. With her calm demeanor, I was quickly at ease leaving my dogs with her. She provided the perfect amount of updates and videos while we were away. We will definitely be rebooking.

Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.

I needed someone to watch my dog Tyson last minute because I was going out of town for the weekend and Stella was awesome! If you need a petsitter in Rockford I would highly recommend her and I definitely plan on calling her for petsitting in the future. There were other dogs to play with, Stella was really helpful working with my schedule and Tyson was happy and energetic when I picked him up! Overall great experience :)

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—starting on a small pleasure farm where I helped raise everything from dogs and cats to goats and ducks. As I got older, I worked with licensed rehabbers to help raise and release wildlife, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Today, I’m a stay-at-home dad who homeschools our two children, and together we care for our two dogs and any pup who joins our home. We’re home all day, giving your pet constant attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether your dog loves backyard games, cozy nap spots, or peaceful walks, we tailor their care to make them feel safe and loved. We’re also experienced with: • Puppy routines and potty training • Gentle senior dog care • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Helping nervous or shy dogs settle in We treat every dog like family—with kindness, patience, and lots of tail-wagging fun! Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life! As a stay-at-home dad who homeschools, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant care and attention. We start the day with outdoor playtime and a walk, followed by plenty of interaction, rest, and supervised backyard fun. Since our schedule is flexible and we don’t leave the house for work or school, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Whether it’s weekday or weekend, we’re here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family—every single day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised. We have a fully fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood where dogs can run, play, and relax safely. Our home is dog-friendly, with plenty of space to rest, play, and be part of our daily routine. We keep a calm, structured environment—ideal for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I follow any care instructions you provide closely, including feeding, medication, crate routines, and walk preferences. We only accept a small number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable hands with someone who truly understands and respects animals.

We’ve brought our dogs to James Jankowski multiple times now, and every visit has been fantastic. He clearly has a natural way with animals—our pups settled in quickly and came home happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in a calm, loving environment while we’re away. James keeps things easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Sabrina enough as a caregiver. She’s patient, responsible, and has a natural connection with every animal she meets. Sabrina takes great care of her own pets, who are happy and well-trained—which speaks volumes about the kind of love and attention she gives. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time with your pet, you can trust that they’re in the best hands with her.
