Dog Walking Rockford

“Thanks for being Kevin’s walking friend!”

Joyce W.

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. With permission, I often bring my pet loving teenage daughters along so your pets can have some extra loving.

About: I've been working with animals since my first job, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine. Working at a pet store has given me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I do work full time about 40 hours a week. My schedule does vary but I’m very flexible and would love to figure out what works best for us both. Certified in Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR. I have two dogs and two cats. I do drop ins, walking, and overnights! I will do the best of my ability to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me. Food, water, walks if needed, lots of fun play time and treats!

“As sweet as they come. Very attentive…”

“Tania was great! She was able to help out with a last minute request. Will be using her again!”

“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

“Super quick to reply and attentive! Sent me some cute pics of my dog too! 🐶💕”

“We love having Ava walk our lively Schnoodle. He needs his walk every day, and his humans are sometimes busy or not feeling well enough to take him. We really appreciate her! And it makes Kevin very happy!”

Joyce W.

“Anna did an amazing job with Maple! She was so communicative and really eased my anxieties being so far from home. Will definitely be using her services again, and recommend her to anyone looking for care!”

“Mandy is a great communicator, she sends lots of photos and has been a great, reliable addition to our pet care routine while my husband is traveling.”

About: ​Hi, I’m Erika! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring that lifetime of comfort and familiarity into caring for your fur baby. ​Currently, my days are filled with pet care. I am a proud cat parent, so I am completely in tune with feline body language, routines, and the exact spot they like to be scratched. I also care for my neighbor’s dog on a part time basis. This means lots of walks (I love trails!), dog parks, playtime and providing companionship! ​Because pet care is a natural part of my everyday life, you can head out the door with total peace of mind knowing your pet will receive reliable, attentive, and tailored care that keeps their usual routine perfectly on track. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to walk/care for your doggo! It helps me get my steps in along with getting your dogs energy out! ​Whether caring for your fur baby in your home, walking them, or doing a drop in, my top priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and security. I strictly follow the routine you’ve established by keeping feeding, medication, and walk times exactly as they are used to so their stress is minimized while you're away. ​I treat your home with the highest level of respect, ensuring it stays clean, quiet, and secure. You can also count on regular updates and photos after our visits so you always have total peace of mind knowing your pet and your home are in safe, responsible hands

About: Are you in need of someone who is trustworthy to take good care of your dog? I’m your gal! I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I know how important it is to have a reliable, loving & dependable sitter! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. Having two older & special needs dogs of our own, we are always making sure they aren’t left too long, get lots of exercise, play time and lots of attention. I have 2 small, friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We don't have a fenced in yard, but please don't worry....I NEVER let the dogs out with out having the harness and leash on. I take EXTRA caution with this, as it would be a fear of my own. Our two dogs go out several times a day - always on a leash. You fur baby would be in good hands with me!

About: I’ve had pets most of my life. 😊 Our family currently has a 5 year old Austrian Shepherd and a 3 month old kitten. I live an active lifestyle and love to be outside! I work from home and enjoy short breaks away from the computer! My children are mostly grown and I have a lot of spare time now that I’m at this stage of life. I’m good with animals and quick to learn their temperament! I’m pretty high energy and enjoy long walks and being outdoors. I pay attention to detail and instructions well.

About: I have had animals my whole life (cats and dogs) and would love to help care for yours in any way I can. I work from home unless otherwise scheduled (which I will know in advance) so I can be very flexible in that respect. I aim to help care for your animals with compassion, respect, and fun! I am available during the day and evenings all week unless otherwise stated on my Rover calendar and/or in messages. I would love to get the chance to meet your furry friend!! I am able to care for your pets in any way that is necessary. Walking, feeding, playing, cleaning, and more! I don't know much about medications, but I am a quick learner and would be agreeable to learn from you and help if needed. I volunteer at a cat shelter and have a cat and dog of my own, so I do understand the need for good care!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. Family friends woukd trust me to to take care of their cats and dogs when they went away for a while. I would help take care of the house as well. I love to go for walks with my dogs and go about 3 days a week with my dog Remi. I can watch dogs and cats when my family friends need me too. But also work part time at Pet Supplies Plus so I need a bit more time to plan when I work and when I can stop by and take care of pets. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, follow their normal feeding schedule, provide exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also administer medication if instructed, keep their environment clean and safe, and update owners with photos and messages. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”

“Hanna does really well with my dog. She’s very patient with his high energy. She does tricks and commands with him to earn treats. I will definitely be using her again to walk my dog”
