Dog Sitting in Rockford

“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”

About: I have had pets my whole life and have loved every second of it. I am very available and willing to drop everything for your pet. I have nothing tying me down at this moment. However I will be attending college in the fall at NIU. I am available all summer almost all days of the week. I offer dog walking and dog sitting services( at your house). Your pet's care will be tailored to given instructions. For dog walking, I will take your dog for a long walk with water breaks. For dog sitting I will keep your dog company, feeding, watering, and walking your dog until you return.

“Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.”

“This was our first experience leaving Mabel with someone that wasn’t a family member, and wow…we were instantly at ease with Theresa. It felt like we had known her forever and made us feel so comfortable. Can’t recommend enough and will definitely be reaching out to Theresa again. 🤩”

About: I grew up with small, medium, and large dogs and my family currently has 2 medium/large dogs. In addition, I have extensive experience living with and caring for animals (including a summer on a farm). I have experience pet-sitting dogs (including rescues), cats, and birds. I would love to spend time with your pets over the next few months -- my schedule is flexible given advance notice! I have just relocated back to the US after spending some time in Thailand, so I am working part-time as I search for a more permanent position. I can house-sit, come play with your pups, clean your litter-box, or take your animals for a walk. I am happy to come to your space where your pets are already comfortable and learn their rhythms, routines, and needs. At this time I am unable to board your pets in my home. I am tidy and can assist with basic household maintenance such as taking out the trash while you are away.

“Karen was wonderful with our cats and dog! Very communicative about how the pets were doing and very attentive to them. I look forward to booking with Karen again.”

“Lindsey is awesome! She follows our directions with drop ins and always keeps us updated! She send us picture too! 😊 My pups love her and my cat that isn’t the biggest fan of strangers even loved her! Would recommend her over and over again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and am a giant animal lover all around. I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities giving me an edge on being able to handle any situation. Currently have a Boston terrier who is incredibly well traveled and the light of my world. Daily walks, hikes and treats all around I currently work from 6am-2pm but I can leave my job whenever needed to take care of anything that comes up. After 2pm no interruptions Being respectful of not only your animal but your property. You are trusting someone to come into your home, that’s something I don’t want to break. Animal wise having many animals with different personalities over the years I’m well versed in dealing with most situations

About: I grew up with different types of pets. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets when they need it. My job is pretty flexible with my hours. I am home on the evenings. And all day on the weekends. I will gladly give your fur baby lots of love. My pets are really friendly and will most definitely keep your pet good company. There's a dog park down the street from my house and my pets love it. I will gladly bring your fur baby along to have a good time!

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.

“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!!!”

About: Dog enthusiast, belly rub expert, and treat dispenser extraordinaire. If there’s a pup within a 10-mile radius, I’m probably their new best friend. I’m a professional at fetch, tail wags, and making every dog feel like the VIP they are. Let's trade dog stories or just go on a walk — I’m here for all the wagging moments!" Taking care of your pet would be easy for me as my schedule is super flexible and I can’t think of anything better than taking your fury loved one for a walk or giving them the loving they need! I would treat them as if they were my own and make sure they are well taken of! Your pets are welcome in my home! I have a perfect couch for all the pet cuddles and I keep a huge stash of dog toys that I wash regularly. I have a beautiful park across the street and a fenced in yard!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats about my whole life! I love animals & will do my very best to make sure they get the best care! I’m a newly stay at home mom, with a child in preschool. My schedule is always clear and I’m always willing to work around things! I always make sure that they trust me before I do anything! I’ll start to pet them or play with them, then I’ll check on if they need food, water, to go outside. Basically whatever the animal needs!

“Autumn was the perfect caretaker for our kitty! She is very professional and provided peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely use her services again!”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾 My heart belongs to my 8-year-old miniature schnauzer, my little old lady bestie who came from a tough past. Caring for her through trauma and anxiety has made me a more patient, attentive, and compassionate pet parent which are skills I bring to every pet I care for. Most recently, I welcomed three rescue cats into my life, and let me tell you, they have completely stolen my heart! Every day is a new adventure learning their quirks and showering them with love. Dogs, cats, big personalities, shy babies, I adore them all. Your pet won't just be looked after, they'll be loved, doted on, and treated like my very own. 🐶🐱 I can't wait to meet them! Working from home means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule. I already walk my dog multiple times a day and spend a big chunk of my time enriching and engaging my pets. Adding your fur baby to my routine would be a joy, not a chore. There's almost always someone home, which means maximum love and minimal alone time for your pet! 🐾 Your home, your rules. I'll follow every routine, boundary, and expectation you set to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you're away. My goal is for your pet to barely notice you're gone (okay, they'll miss you but they'll be well-loved in the meantime)!

About: I am back after taking a break to focus on working at the animal shelter and pursuing my bachelors degree in psychology. I have a lifetime of caring for animals has been my joy and passion and my connection with animals runs deep. What sets me apart is not just the extensive experience, but the genuine bond I form with each pet. Your pets aren't just in good hands, they're in caring ones. As a part time worker at an animal shelter, and an online student pursuing my bachelor degree in psychology, my flexible schedule seamlessly accommodates pet care. In my care, safety is my top priority. Your pets will experience a secure and loving environment tailored to their needs. From a pet proofed home to meticulous attention, I ensure a safe haven.

About: Caring for pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, literally since I knew how to walk, I’ve been surrounded by animals. I’ve raised many puppies over the years and know the patience, consistency, and love it takes to help them grow into happy, well adjusted dogs. From energetic playtime to gentle snuggles, I truly enjoy giving each pet the same care and attention I give my own. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they’re family, and I love being that trusted person who keeps them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work a fast paced, stressful job, and caring for pets is truly the highlight of my day. Spending time walking, playing, or just cuddling with your furry family members helps me slow down and brings me so much joy. I look forward to every visit and make sure your pets get all the love, attention, and care they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to follow your rules and routines so your pup feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, keeping up with walks, or honoring special instructions, I’ll do whatever is best for your pet. My goal is to make their day happy, safe, and full of love, just the way you would.

“Lindsay is great! She took excellent care of our cats and we will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I’m a registered nurse who is dedicated to providing excellent services to others who need a helping hand. I’ve personally lived with a pit and a cat for 14 years in the past. My schedule varies every week depending on my full time job. I’m usually free 3 days of the week and my schedule is made 6 weeks ahead of time so we can plan ahead! I follow stranger danger! I will not be answering the door unless asked for special requests. I like to keep a clean and organized space

About: For 12 wonderful years, I had the joy of loving my own dog, and for the past decade, I’ve been capturing the personalities of pets through photography even volunteering to photograph foster animals to help them find forever homes. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I can’t imagine life without. Now, I’d be honored to give your furry friend the same love, attention, and joy I gave my own keeping tails wagging and hearts happy while you’re away. I currently work at a local middle school. I plan to offer pet services on days I am off work and our school breaks. Perfect for any vacations you have planned, I will be available. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep them leashed and secure during walks, and make sure doors and gates are always locked behind me. I’ll check food, water, and comfort levels at every visit — and send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
