Medea is THE GREATEST dog lover ever. I have worked for her since I moved into Rockford and am so pleased to have her be in our lives. Despite not having the opportunity to socialize with her, I absolutely feel blessed to have her around. I work overnight shift so during my work week I tend to be too tired to Walk my Matilda as much as she needs but I love that Medea comes in and when im awoken by Matildas over excitement it warms my heart to know that she Loves Medea. Since ive had her work with us my Matilda is happier she only barked once at Medeas arrival and when she saw her she was happy. I think Matilda tends to get happiest the days she has her walks with Medea. I would recommend her services to everyone I know with pets. Most amazing person ever. Thank you Medea for being a blessing in our lives. 😃🐶

This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!

Joel is an AMAZING dog owner. He’s calm, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He’s watched our two dogs for the last few years and every time we know they’re going to be safe, entertained and well cared for. His dog Joel is super chill and sweet too; a direct reflection of Joel’s care. We’ll be choosing him for our dogs every time. ☺️

Erica is such a wonder with my dog. She was there for him since at an early stage and it was necessary as he is an Akita who needs attention. Work for me is extremely on the go and that’s where she steps in. He is a people person but she quickly became a favorite of his so I knew it was a perfect match. I think he likes her more than me now. Thanks to her I can have peace of mind with the care she provides and he can have all the pup cups she’ll give him lol.

Tanya has watched my previous dog several times before. She is by far the best person to have take care of your pet! She treats any animal as her own and makes sure they are taken care of and loved. She will send you photos of your pet and it makes me feel at ease knowing my animal is in good hands. I have never worried about my dog when she has watched him. Your pet will be in good hands with Tanya!

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!

I’ve know Stephani for a couple of years now, and I will say I’ve never met anyone who takes as much pride in taking care of animals as much as she does. From having experience of taking care of her own cats and dogs to ensuring the well being of the animals at the vet clinics she has worked at, she always puts animals first before anything.

Miriam is an awesome pet sitter. She has fed and watered. Played with both my cat and dog. She's scooped litter and walked and doggie baggged my dog 's poop. She's very loving and caring. Extremely responsible, reliable and honest.

About: I have taken care of dogs and children since I was 10 years old. I’ve babysat, dog walked, and bathed dogs of all sizes, and have always owned my own dogs since I was 4 years old. The dogs I owned and cared for ranged from as small as a Tea cup Yorkie all the way to greyhounds and Rottweilers. I am currently working full time, but I work from home. Working from home allows me plenty of time to care and look after your fur babies, and be able to keep an eye on them during the day and send you updates. I am free to sit any day of the week. My house is a great home away from home for your pup. I have a half acre of fenced off yard with plenty of room for your dog to get great exercise and lots of room to do their business. I also have two labs of my own that are great with other dogs big or small and will make great companions while you are away. My mom also works from home permanently and will be assisting in caring for the dogs and showing them extra love and attention. We have plenty of space in the house if you have your dogs crate trained, but if not they can make themselves at home wherever they are comfortable.

Abbey is an amazing care taker for animals of all kinds! She is so sweet and so kind, all of my dogs, cats and rats adore her, even the shy ones! I've never seen my little shy Smokey warm up to someone so quickly, he was in her lap from the moment we left to the day we got home. She made sure the house was just as clean as I left it, and even did the dishes and mopped my floor! She understanding and very patient, works well with all temperaments, was never late on feeding, medication or a walk, took exceptional care of my babies and played with them often. She's my favorite house/animal sitter I've ever had, will always book with her every time I need a sitter, whether it's planned ahead or last minute, she's never failed to make something work!
