Top rated Rock Island house sitters
“Amorena is extremely responsible and has a family who steps in when needed. We hired her at the last minute to house/pet sit for our two dogs and kitty. She alerted us when she became ill and offered a family member in her place (her mom) when there wasn’t enough time to find someone new. The animals were well cared for, loved and spoiled. The house looked great when we arrived home. We definitely will try to use her again.”
“Josie watched our furry children (2 dogs and 3 cats) in our home for 10 days. She kept us updated on the pets and when we returned, we could tell our pets were loved and our house was immaculate. She even washed the bedding of the bed she slept in. We highly recommend Josie 100% to care for your pets and home while you are gone! Thank you, Josie! We appreciate you.”
“Paige S. is always so great with our two labs, one who is very high energy! She sends updates regularly and always lets us know if there are any concerns. Plus, our dogs are SO HAPPY to see her which tells us all we need to know. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was phenomenal with my anxious doggo. She was great at recognizing her anxiety cues, redirecting her, and respecting her space. I felt super comfortable leaving my furry friend with Ashley, and she’ll definitely be who I book next time I’m out of town! Thank you so much!”
“If I could give Bree six stars I would. She was amazing with our dog; spent plenty of time playing with him, and made sure our property was well looked after. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for reliable care!”
“Skyler was great! Came home to happy pets (dog and cat). Both of our pets are kind of nervouse and often we come home to super stressed pets, but not this time. We're in the middle of a move so our house is crazy right now, but she still looked after it great just the same. 100% reccomend.”
“Moose absolutely loved Lucia…to be honest I think he forgot about me because of his massive crush on her. Lucia was spot on with everything and I feel bad for all the other Rover sitters cuz I will be using her from here on out and nobody else will get to kick it with Moose.”
“Shelly was super helpful and communicated and sent updates the whole time which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies with her. I’m very thankful for the level of care she gave them while I was gone!”

About: I am a Master Canine Trainer and Behaviorist, breeder of world-class working line German Shepherds, AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, and AKC Temperament Test evaluator, with 20-years experience training and handling tactical working canines, service dogs, and pets. Our 40-acre facility is located on the edge of a 101,000-acre wildlife area in the mountains just 30 minutes outside Wenatchee, and it is a paradise for dogs. We have a secure climate controlled kennel with CCTV surveillance, and 5'x5' individual indoor kennels connected with a dog door to 5'x10' outdoor runs. In addition we have approximately 10-acres that are fenced with 8' wildlife fencing for the dogs to run, play, and explore, with an additional 30-acres for leashed (all dogs) and off-leash (approved dogs) walks, and an obstacle course. We offer board & train options for clients wanting canine training or behavioral modification, as well as pick up and delivery of your dog, for an additional charge. I currently breed and train world-class working dogs at our facility, so accepting boarding clients allows us to work with dogs outside our norm, and give them a unique experience they will enjoy far more than your average boarding facility. We have a secure climate controlled kennel with CCTV surveillance, 5'x5' individual indoor kennels and connected 5'x10' outdoor runs, approximately 10-acres fenced for the dogs to run and play, 30 additional acres for leashed walks, and an obstacle course. Dogs are kept separated unless requested otherwise by the owner. I have been trained in canine health and welfare, canine first aid and life support, and basic canine trauma care.
About: After having a tough time myself trying to hire responsible & trustworthy pet sitters, I realized I could offer better care than most and wanted to start pet sitting for others also having a hard time finding someone to take excellent care of their pets! I grew up in a rural country area and had all sorts of animals from the moment I was born. I got involved in 4H activities and showing animals at the state fair at a young age and have loved animals my whole life. I currently work from home and have 2 cats, a small dog, and multiple parrots. I am comfortable taking care of all types of animals. Currently I'm working very minimal hours from home for myself so my schedule is completely open. I have no kids and am home all day with the exception of running errands. I do not have a fenced yard at this time so I won’t be able to do much petsitting in my own home until I get a fence. I have multiple birds and cats in the house so I won't be able to watch larger dogs in my own home for this reason. I would prefer offering in-home visits in others homes for larger animals. I am also comfortable watching animals besides just dogs and cats so please inquire if you need services for other pets. My home is in a safe neighborhood and covered with cameras that I can monitor at any time and I take safety and trust very seriously in anyone else's home as well. (Update: I am currently not offering petsitting in my own home.)

Jeff B.
“We were referred to Jeff for some behavioral modification and advanced obedience training for our 3YO Austrailian Shepherd. We all had so much fun and got so much out of the training we did with him, we asked Jeff if he could board our boy for 14 days while we went on vacation. When we got home our boy Joey was so happy and tired, you could just tell he had the time of his life at Jeff's. We have used him for boarding three times now, and the last time he taught Joey to detect and find shed antlers as one of activities he did with Jojo while we were away. That little extra he did for us free of charge has inspired us to spend more time hiking and exploring with Jo to out his new skill to use, and it has made our lives and Jojo's better. Another thing we really like about Jeff is that he only boards a limited number of dogs at a time and if he has multiple clients dogs, they are dogs that he knows don't have barking or behavioral issues, so his kennels are quiet and low stress for the guest dogs. We now will only use Jeff for our boarding needs and when we tell Joey he is "going to camp" (Jeff's) he immediately gets excited and goes and stands by the front door to wait for Jeff to pick him up. Jeff is professional, trustworthy, safety conscious, incredily knowledgeable about everything dogs, and he genuinely wants to make sure that the dogs he allows to stay at the ranch or works with have the time of their life. We enthusiastically reccomend him for boarding, sitting, training, and behavioral modification. You will not be disappointed.”
Jennifer T.
“Jennifer has been my pet sitter for over 4 years. I don’t trust people easily and my dog is my baby. She comes to my house once a day when I’m gone at work to let my dog out for bathroom breaks and the occasional walk. She also comes multiple times a day when I’m out of town. I get photos when I’m gone which is so great and my dog loves her! I’m grateful to have someone I trust able to enter my house and take care of my lab!”
Rock Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karli stayed at our place for four nights with our spicy teenage dog. It was our first time away from him. We were worried because he is pretty high maintenance, but Karli took good care of him and our house. He was happy and tired when we got home and the house was immaculate. We highly recommend Karli as a sitter!
