Cat Sitting in Rockford

“I reached out to Lindsay on short notice needing someone to watch Goliath (my Husky) and she came through. What impressed me most wasn’t just that she said yes—it’s that she went above and beyond the whole time. Lindsay sent me daily videos and pictures of Goliath, so I could actually see him having a great time instead of just hoping for the best. She kept me in the loop every single day with updates, which made a huge difference when you’re away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care—it shows in how attentive she is. Goliath came back happy and well-exercised, which is exactly what you want. I’m definitely booking her again for my next trip.”

“Lauren was very communicative on her drop-ins and spent lots of play time with our puppy. She gave us updates on her energy level and what she played with. She even cleaned up a little puppy accident which was above and beyond in my opinion. Will definitely ask her to sit again!”

“Kerrigan was our first ever caregiver through Rover this past week. She did a wonderful job! I left a few things to her judgement calls based on the weather and how our 2 dogs were doing, one being age 16 years, the other is only 1.5 years. Kerrigan is very trustworthy, and made great decisions for us. She exceeded our expectations on flexibility and excellent communication.”

About: You need someone to take care of your pet with the care and attention that you use to care for them. I am happy to help. I have been around dogs and animals my whole life. I recently lost my lab of 15 years. She was a very busy puppy so I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Please let me support your pet so you can have peace of mind. I work with pets on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. I am happy to provide dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to provide walks to whatever length you prefer. I am happy to provide updates with photos. I can be flexible and supportive. I take good care to watch pets closely. I know many dogs appreciate quality attention.

About: I was raised with dogs of many different breeds and have owned a dog most of my adult life. In more recent years, I have done pet sitting for friends and family, including dogs, cats, chickens and fish. Experienced with younger pets as well as seniors. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give full attention to your pet and housesitting needs. Available for vacations planned well in advance or last minute needs. If you're looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care, I'm your person. I treat your pets and home as if they're mine and communicate clearly and often so you can rest assured everything is going smoothly. As a seasoned veteran, I also take notice of extra details that may need attention or extra care. I often bring my pet loving teenage daughters along so your pets can have some extra loving.

“Alissa has been absolutely amazing to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone. She’s helped us on multiple occasions from house sitting to just dropping by. Our family is very happy to have found Alissa!”

About: I can offer specialized care for puppies, seniors, and high-needs pets. My experience started with helping friends and family as both a boarder and pet sitter. Now through Rover, I have worked with many different families and met so many furry friends! I have experience walking many different dogs and feel comfortable walking larger breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets, particularly rescued ones, I've developed a deep connection with animals. I genuinely respect each pet's unique personality, and provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries. I'm working primarily as a pet sitter. I usually have other personal projects I work on during the day so I will leave from time to time, but never for longer than your pet is used to. The rest of the time I'm happy spend however you usually do with your pet. If you have a high needs pet that requires close to 24/7 attention I would love to help, but I will need to ask for additional compensation. Safety and trust are my top priorities when providing personal in-home care for your pet. I will always prioritize your pet's well-being and respect your home. I want to build a genuine bond with your pet to make them comfortable during our time together. I am happy to send you pictures while I'm with your pet!

About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. As well as drop in visits to feed, walk or let pets out to do their business. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to bath them yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.

About: I have two cats and a crested gecko, so I’m used to complex pet care. As a nursing student, I also have general medical knowledge as well as compassion. I’ve grown up near my grandparents who always have a dog, and over the past several months I have helped care for their mini golden doodle puppy. I work 2-3 twelve hour shifts per week at the hospital, leaving the rest of my week completely open. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I am able to crate your dog in your home, bring them in/outside, and I’m always up for a good cuddle session or some playtime!
