Pet Sitting Rockford

“The girls were so happy to see Mandee! She took so many pictures. I could see how happy they were that she was able to spend quality time with them. She is great!”

“Keerigan was awesome and the dogs loved her (they told me so). Will be booking her again. Responsive and thorough in communication. Highly recommend.”

About: For dogs who need more energy burned off, I’m happy to do a run instead of a walk, depending on weather and your dog’s needs. My pace tops out at a 10-minute mile, and I can get down to a 9-minute mile as the weather cools. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs, I’ll also bring along my own dog, a blue heeler, to run together. On the flip side, I’m also a big believer in “sniff walks” — letting the dog lead the way and take in all the smells they want, at their own pace. I listen to podcasts during these, so I’m well-practiced at going slow and staying patient. I treat every pet like my own: plenty of attention, patience, and care, plus updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule this summer and into the fall, which gives me time most mornings for pet care. I’m out and about with my own dog anyway, so fitting in visits or walks is easy. I’ll be taking on as many visits as I can, since it fits naturally into my routine right now. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely — feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs the pet has. Clear instructions upfront make for an efficient, friendly visit and a happy pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before and after a visit, and I send updates and photos so you know exactly how things went.

About: I have always had passionate for animals since I was a kid; I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. In order to fulfill this dream, I am majoring in animal science at Michigan State University as a third year student! Additionally, I volunteered at the Humane Society of West Michigan and Second Chance Cats. I would walk dogs, social cats, and clean litter boxes, bowls, and surfaces. As a volunteer, I learned how to understand behavior of pets to prevent a situation from escalating and promote the safety of the pet, myself, and others. I am excited to meet your pets and provide excellent care! I am not currently working right now, so time is flexible here! I am willing to work around your schedule and the best time for you. I am not available anytime on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. As I care for your pets in your home, I will make sure to follow all pet care instructions, whether it's dietary needs or medication regimens. I'll provide food and water when needed. Also, I could never forget to provide enrichment if the animal is comfortable. While I meet the basic needs, I will also be cautious of behavior in order to promote security for myself as well as the pet. Not only will I take care of your pets, but also, if comfortable, I can bring in mail, vacuum, or do laundry while respecting privacy and maintaining appearance of activity at client residence. Most importantly, I will secure locks and entryways to prevent unauthorized access by persons not approved by owners, and respect the boundaries of the home. As it goes for dog walking, I will be cautious of my surrounding environment, such as cars or other dogs, to promote safety for myself as well as the pet. Also, I'll never yank or pull harshly on the leash that could possible harm the pet. I'll always pick up after the animal.

“Debbie was great with my maltipoo! I could tell from the pictures she sent me that he was very relaxed with her. I highly recommend her and plan to use her again soon!”

“Izzy has been so attentive with our pets during visits. Her communication and photos are very much appreciated. We highly recommend her and will continue to book with her in the future! Thank you Izzy!”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since I was a kid. I have currently have a dog of my own, but enjoy quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.

About: I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly (can't seem to figure out how to add her name but she'll also be helping with sitting), two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard, a dog specific area over the garage and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, they have the loft, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

“Julie does a great job feeding and watering our cat and giving him some much needed attention when we are out of town. We really appreciate her!”

Robin C.

“Liz is AWESOME! She not only took great care of our girl, Analiese, but she watered all our newly planted trees for six days, and when our flight home got canceled she continued to care for our pup for another day, saving us from one more worry! She is the best, and her Rover Card reports kept us smiling the entire time we were gone!”

“Allison was fantastic! Great communication and she went way above and beyond! I know my dog was very well cared for while I was away. Will absolutely book with Allison again.”

About: I have decades of experience living and working with dogs and cats. I also have animal training experience. I enjoy meeting new animals and their people. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to take frequent breaks to give animals care, attention and activity. I currently have a house with lots of space, with a big yard and 40 acres of walking trails to entertain your special fur baby.

“Mackenzie was great! We hired her to house sit for our pups and bunnies. She communicated regularly and was very reliable.”

Lauren C.

“Ivana is a punctual and a conscientious sitter and took great care of my dogs and my place. She takes her job seriously, was respectful to me and went above and beyond to care for my dogs. I will definitely use her services again. I am happy to have found her.”

Carol G.

“Alaina was amazing! She clearly cares about animals & made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats with her. She took the best photos & gave amazing updates! Thank you!!”

“Sidney did great the pups really seemed to enjoy her. The only thing that she forgot was locking the back slider door upon leaving the house, but still totally worth a five star review despite the small over sight.”

About: Experienced dog sitter with several years of providing reliable, loving care. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Skilled in feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining clean environments. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog like family. I’m currently working a full time job Wednesday through Saturday but the rest of the week I’m free! So I have plenty of time to play with the pups! Most clients I dog sit for has fences up but if not no problem at all I can be outside and play with the dogs outside

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 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.
