About: Hi! I’m Ophelia, and I specialize in reliable, stress free drop in visits for busy professionals. I know how demanding work schedules can be, and how important it is to have someone you can trust to step in and care for your pet during the day. Whether you’re in meetings, commuting, or working long hours, I make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. During drop in visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection all tailored to your pet’s routine. I’m detail oriented and dependable, so you can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions closely. You’ll also get regular updates and great photos, so you can stay connected to your pet even on your busiest days. My goal is simple: make your life easier while keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for. Looking forward to supporting you and your pet! 🐾 I have free weekends & afternoons with a stable & flexible 9-5 so I can easily do lunch drop ins as well as my open weekends and afternoons/evenings! My pets aren’t just an after though but a priority & part of the family. I’ll treat yours the same way I treat mine, wish love & patience!

About: As someone who not only has pets but spent over a year working at a pet store I’ve cared for many different types of dogs, learned how to read animal behavior, and understand the importance of safety, routine, and trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat, so I’m used to balancing walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I already plan my days around caring for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, drop-ins, and sitting for others. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes timely feedings, regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and I closely monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe.

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!

“Mallory has watched my cat several times and always does a great job. She sends me updates and pictures and I come home to a healthy cat. She is always willing to do a quick meeting beforehand to get the keys and go over anything that has changed since the last time she watched him. Even if there’s a snow storm, I know she will make sure she gets to my cat to check on him and give him lots of treats!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! As the owner of three dogs and a frequent pet sitter for family and friends, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds. I love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like one of my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a full-time student on summer break, I have lots of flexibility and availability throughout the week. Since I already care for my own three dogs every day, spending time with pets is a normal part of my routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I love staying active, going on walks, and giving animals plenty of attention, so pet sitting is a great fit for my schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and visits, make sure they stay safe and comfortable, and keep you updated while you’re away.

About: Is your dog: - High Energy? - Destructive During the Day? - A Little Chonky? Let me help you come home to a happy, tired, fit pup! As an avid runner, I'd love to take your pooch for a long run, chill stroll or anything in between! I'm also willing to do some light housekeeping during drop-in visits. For 11 years I worked at a pet specialty store educating customers about the best ways to care for their pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, geckos/bearded dragons and small animals. During that time I also worked briefly as a dog trainer. I have dogs and cats of my own, and previously kept freshwater fish, an axolotle, Syrian hamsters, anoles, chinchillas and a tree frog. I currently have some early morning availability (6-7) and evening/night availability (after 4:00) during the week. Saturday and Sunday I am generally open and have more availability. Pet safety is my top priority. I always make sure doors and/or gates are secure and that dogs have their collar on when going outside.

About: Hello! My name is Ally and I am a confirmed animal lover! All of my friends and family say that they want to come back in their next life as one of my pets lol. My family has had many different types of animals since I was a baby and love taking care of them. I have extensive experience in caring for cats, dogs, and horses - any size or age. I also have plenty of experience giving medications (pills, shots, ect) and have no issues with special requests. My older dog Dozer (who passed away at age 13 in April 2021) had Addisons and caratracts, so I have plenty of experience giving extra care when needed. I am currently am working a hybrid work schedule, but I work from home Thursdays and Fridays. On the weekends you will most likely find me out and about with my current dog Finnley. Finnley is a 5 year old Goldendoodle who loves life, people, treats and other dogs. We love to go to dog parks, the cottage, trails in the woods, car rides, the indoor dog park, and the Muskegon Dog Beach. I use positive reinforcement only and the dogs are of course allowed on the furniture. I have had many years of experience in training my own dogs and have no issues following any rules that you have for your pet. Finnley and I live in downtown Rockford. While I don’t have a fenced in back yard, Finnley and I take at least 2 long walks a day. I also have access to the Rockford Dog Park, The Pack Indoor Dog park, Townsend Park, Grand Ravines Dog Park, trails in downtown Rockford, Grand Rogue Park, and the White Pine Trail. Finn and I are more than happy to have multiple dogs on our walks with us – the more the merrier! Finnley and I would love to take care of your fur family! Currently I am working a hybrid work schedule and only have to go in to work 3 days a week. The rest of the week I am working from home and take several long walks a day. If the weather is not great (rain, too cold, ect) I have access to The Pack indoor dog park. My current dog Finnley and I love to go for multiple long walks - both off leash in the woods and on leash downtown Rockford. We have multiple potty breaks a day, have plenty of toys to play with, and Finnley loves playing with other dogs. Finnley has full access to water all the time and gets fed twice a day. If I do have to leave the house, it is only for 5 hrs at a time maximum. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I have access to multiple dog parks, trails, and other areas for exercise. Finnley is crate trained and is in his kennel when I am out of the house & at night. I only take dogs out to go potty on a leash. My house is extremely pet proof.

About: I have been with rover, dog bording for about 3 years now. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷‍♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

“They did a great job with the dogs. They were really responsive and attentive. Ours was a last min booking and they responded fast. They also left a nice note for my family after the service was complete.”

About: I grew up with two dogs (Cav King Charles Spaniels), watched my neighbor's dogs as a teenager, and now have my own 7-year-old Heeler/Hound mix. I genuinely love pups of all sizes and ages. I’m currently between jobs & applying in my spare time, so am currently available pretty much 24/7, and can walk/watch your fury friend with short notice. If I'm watching the dog(s) for an extended period of time, I can either stay at the residence or visit as needed, whatever you prefer. I am unable to host/house pets since my current residence doesn’t allow it (terrible rule, I know), but I would be happy to travel to yours!
