About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.

Miriam was great with my dogs while I was out of town and the last minute booking wasn't an issue. One of my dogs takes medicine every few hours and Miriam was able to administer it with no problems.

About: I have lots of years of animal care, animal sitting and house sitting. I've walked dogs of all sizes, big, small, etc. I've been doing pet care since I was about 14 years old, and use to house sit for a close friend of mine for years where I would feed the dogs, let them out to use the restroom, and stay to play with them. Now that I've moved to the Rockford area, I'm looking to establish trust, and offer the best care for your fur babies. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I can let animals out for potty breaks and food bowl checks after 6pm CST on the weekdays, or even late evening walks. Otherwise, weekends are completely open for walks, housesitting, and even overnights. I always make sure that your pet is safe, whether you have a fence, crate, or leash to keep them on. Before leaving, I'll make sure that the house is locked up, and that the pet is safe in their crate if needed. I do a quick last check to top off the water, food, and I'll provide plenty of updates if you wish to know how your dog or cat is doing.

Jaymee was great. She listened to all the instructions we provided, and since it was our first time she helped assure my worries about leaving my girls to someone else's care. During the visits one of our dogs had a medical issue, that needed medication delivered at certain times. Jaymee helped us by working her schedule around to help care for our dog's medication schedule. Overall my girls loved her and had a great time. I will definitely be booking again with Jaymee the next time I need someone to watch my dogs.

Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!

Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!

This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!

They did a great job taking care of my cat, Erika, who was not very happy about us leaving for a few days. Brittany sent me a picture of Erika each day, even when she was being uncooperative and trying to hide. She was responsive to text messages and kept me updated. I definitely recommend Brittany and Branson!

Medea is now our go-to person to help us with our pups. Her love for animals shines through and she demonstrate such kindness and patience. Medea did great with our reactive border collie and now we feel at peace knowing that she can check in on our active dogs while we are at work. Highly recommend and so glad to have found her!

About: I have been an avid animal lover since birth!! I have a wide range of experience with animal care-taking. I have babysat a farm, volunteered at shelters, and have had my own pets. I have had large German Shepherds who I have practiced training. I have managed troublesome groups and have had to del with ensuring dogs are separate for behavioral reasons. Whatever your needs, I promise I may have already done! I am able to drop-in early mornings, but will do most walking/care after 12pm some weekdays due to school. I volunteer at the Prairie land conservancy, so some random times I may be busy, but I promise for good reason!! I am available most weekends. Your pet’s safety is really important to me. I make sure they’re always supervised and comfortable. I follow instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, crate routines, and any medications.

Amanda stopped in to care for our furry “kids” yesterday. She did a great job of communicating with us while taking care of them. She even thought to leave the outside lights on for us as it would be dark when we returned home. Happy to say our search for a new pet sitter has had great results. We will not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Amanda?
