House Sitting Rockford

“Jaymee was so compassionate and kind with both my dogs. She kept me up to date with photos and communicated well throughout her stay. Both pups were happy and relaxed when we got back home from our trip. Thank you Jaymee for your kindness and thorough care for our dogs. We appreciate you!”

“Michelle kept us updated on our pups with regular notes and pictures. She made special arrangements to accommodate our dates. We always feel confident our dogs are in great hands.”

About: On top of about a decade’s worth of experience taking care of family and neighborhood pets, I’ve spent the last 1.5 years as a professional dog trainer! I have a passion for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I have taken care of and trained just about every age, sizes, and personality type. As long as you let me know what your babies need, I’m more than happy to help! I am a teacher currently on summer break! I have plenty of time to focus on your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I am open to doing whatever your normal routine is! I have experience with all kinds of care instructions including first aid and medications. Just let me know!

“Miriam is always so great with my dogs. Very caring and patient with my seniors.”

“Medea is wonderful. She took such great care of our sweet big girl. Daily check ins and photos eased our minds and we were able to truly enjoy our time away. She left our house clean and even did laundry (even though we told her not to worry about it). We are thrilled we have someone we can trust with our beloved pet and home. Thank you again for everything.”

“Estefanny took care of our two dogs (one a senior requiring medications, the other a 10 month old puppy) and our bearded dragon this past weekend. She was able to stay at our place and be with them the for the period of time we needed. This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous about it all. But Estefanny alleviated all those nerves! We are so thankful for her! Estefanny took care of our babies with thorough love and attention. She snuggled them, engaged with them, everything you’d want for your animal babies and more! We also received continuous updates via messages, pictures, and videos. This being our first time with a Rover sitter, those updates meant the world to us! We strongly recommend Estefanny as your potential pet sitter! She went above and beyond. She was a true professional and we were so lucky to have the chance to work with her. We already have her scheduled for an upcoming trip. If you need a pet sitter, Estefanny is your person!”

“My pets and I had a wonderful experience with Kaitlin! She took care of both my pets for three plus days, and I could tell they were cared for. She kept us updated with messages and a picture, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

About: Hello! I'm Zach. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of providing quality care and companionship for our four-legged friends. I currently have a lot of free time with school being done. Very flexible on hours any day of the week. Thank you! Best, Zach I take great pride in building strong bonds with the animals in my care and strive to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for them to thrive. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they will be treated as if they were my own, receiving the love, exercise, and attention they need to lead happy and healthy lives.

“We had Brandi watch our two Maine Coon cats while we were in California. These cats are my babies and so I left Brandi 3 pages of instructions on feeding etc. Brandi sent photos of my babies while we were gone and slept at our house. My cats were extremely well cared for in her care. We will definitely use Brandi when we have another trip.”

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)!

“Karen was amazing my animals loved her and I got updates multiple times a day! She walked them multiple times a day and treated them like her own! Highly recommend will book again!”

“Marla was wonderful. Our dogs were very happy when we came home and everything went so smoothly. Great communication and pictures. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”

“Mari took wonderful care of our girls. She came a couple of times in advance to let our older girl get to know her because of how scared Sadie is of strangers. She had a very gentle way with her and gave Sadie time to warm up to her. We will definitely have Mari house sit for us again!”

“There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and even reptiles since I was a little kid growing up in Madison, Wisconsin--we had cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles, often all at once. As an adult, I've kept and cared for cats of all kinds, including ones needing medical care / injections. I truly am a cat person but love all animals. I'm currently a consultant-based worker, so my free time is kinda plentiful. I like playing with and caring for animals, and as a home owner myself, I am very capable of watching and caring for a home while someone is away. I use gentleness and love and the owner's instructions to care for animals in their homes. Currently I don't offer pet boarding, but am great at drop ins for feeding / treats and potty breaks / litter box clean 'n refresh.

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!

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, thats how I learned responsibility. Helping my family take care of dogs feeding, walking, and training as far back as I can remember. Various breeds including dobermans, terriers (jack, pits, etc) Rottweilers, boxers, etc. I've also been the trusted person around town that family friends would pay to watch their dogs, including too many breeds to name! That started in my teens as soon as I could drive to the houses. Im now 32 with a year old pittie and an almost year old German shepard. I have trained both myself (not certified nor looking to train) but I take pride in building relationships with dogs. Any age, any breed, ill treat your pet with as much love and care as you can wish for! I've administered meds, dealt with social/separation anxiety and nothing scares me away to give the patience and time your pet deserves. I work full-time with a very set and reliable schedule. M-F 845am to 515pm. I can stop by both before and after work, for breakfast and stay longer after to ensure more playtime and care. If distance permits, can also stop by at lunch. Weekends are completely open for whatever you wish for your pet. I do have a fully fenced in back yard and both my dogs are friendly, although I don't offer overnight boards in my own home I will welcome weekend day care in my home. Otherwise, I have no issue with crate trained pups. You supply the rules and I will abide with your wishes when it comes to your own in home care.

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.
