Dog Walking Rockford

“She was amazing! I already talked to her about some doggy daycare if the walks went well and I will definitely be booking for daycare with her!”

“Hurt my leg last month and can't walk my dog. I'm so glad my vet and a couple trainers recommended Rover. Medea's been walking my baby a couple of weeks now. Caoimhe's been so much better behaved now that she's getting some exercise again. Medea is even continuing the training I'd been working on with her. Appreciate Medea so much!”

About: I’ve never not had animals around me. I’ve had to dog sit more times I can count, my parents would foster adults dogs, kittens, even birds, and I would be a vital person in that process, administering care. I’ve had to deal with the oral medications, disabilities, and anxiety from dogs. And I would do it a million times over. I’ve gotten many dogs over their fear of out door walks, including Great Danes! I’ve trained tugging and zig-zag walking in both puppies and seniors. Being patient with dogs is my #1, it’s all about earning their trust. Im unable to have a dog of my own, this really fills the void 🤍 I’m currently a fitness trainer and a cheerleading coach, so my mornings and early afternoons are decently free. As I work sporadically throughout the day. I just recently graduated with my B.S. in exercise science. So getting to take dogs on a walk is my favorite, it’s a win to get steps in, and keep your fur baby healthy, and active! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I live in an apartment. But I am more than willing to go to clients homes to care for their animals. As long as there our notes and descriptions of what your pets need if it’s specialty care!

About: I taught my mother’s cat to give a paw 🤭 I only had to look after my own animals, but this experience is enough for me to take care of your pet, the most important thing is to love our little friends Now I don’t have a permanent job, so your pet will not be deprived of sufficient attention and care, I will do everything for his comfortable stay I don’t have pets and there is a lot of free space in my house where your pets will feel free and protected. There is a small area around my townhouse that is not fenced, so if necessary, I will be under my constant review when walking my pet.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs who are a big part of my daily routine—I play with them, make sure they get plenty of exercise, feed them nutritious meals, and, most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered with a local rescue organization, helping homeless puppies find loving homes. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in need, giving them a safe and nurturing environment while they wait for their forever families. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs with patience and compassion. I’m available on weekends and most holidays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup, including visits to your home if needed. During the week, I work a regular 8–5 job, but I make time in my schedule to provide consistent care. I can stop by for potty breaks and walks in the morning before work, around lunchtime (around noon) if needed, and again in the evening after 5 PM. Your dog’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet—whether it’s in my home or yours. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. I’m always mindful of keeping anything unsafe (like cords, small objects, or toxic foods) out of reach, and I never leave pets unattended in risky situations. When caring for a client’s dog, I follow their routine closely and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether we’re on a walk, having playtime, or just cuddling, your dog’s well-being is always my focus.

About: Growing up I always had dogs in my life from ones we had to nurse ourselves bc their mom's couldn't or the ones on my great grandpa's farm that I would stay outside all day running in corn fields with or laying outside with. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always thought of as my equal. I learned a lot about different diets for different breeds we have had and I also worked as dog bathed for a PetSmart years ago. I always had a heart for the older dogs that were having joint problems and health problems. I always created a bond with them and felt for them. I love puppies too and caring for them like a mother.
