Cat Sitting Rockford

“Genuinely loves dogs.”

About: Your dog is like family. I will make sure they are treated like family with love and attention. Let me know what your rules are with your pet and that is how I will be with them. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have flexibility at home / office. Weekends vary but if I’m available that means I’m available to love on your furry family member. I would like details on how your route is with your pet. I have only cats now. Details of how and when you give food and the quantity, give treats, walk and communicate that is used will be helpful to take sure of your pet well. I would like to keep the route is close as possible for your pet.

“Annika and Matt are AWESOME! Great pics and updates and Simba was a super happy boy! Thrilled that I founds such beloved caretakers, so I can travel worry free.”

“Truly a wonderful experience! I was out of town for a wedding, and had to leave my anxious pup alone for the first time. Gabrielle made the process so easy - and made sure to keep me updated and took good care her! She kept up with her meds, and paid close attention to other dogs while out on walks. Will be booking again!”

“Azumi took great care of our cat and sent us photos and updates at every visit. We will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, my name is Karin. I am a farm girl and professional cat and dog groomer. After high school I spent 6 months in grooming school, I then got a job at a salon and worked there as a groomer for 3 years. I have now started my own mobile grooming business. I have experience with and am comfortable with pets of all ages, behaviors, and activity levels or if your pet requires medication or any type of special care. My life revolves around caring for pets and I wouldn't have it any other way! if you're looking for someone with experience and unconditional love for your pet I'm just what you're looking for! I would love to be able to help care for your pets :)

About: Having animals in my life has been a constant source of joy and companionship. From playful moments to nurturing care, my journey with pets have been filled with love and laughter. I currently work full time from home! I am able to leave at any time to check in, play, feed, walk or just love on your pet! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and one cat! Both are very friendly dogs and very friendly cat (with lots of sass).

“Holly was great. I was gone for 26 days and she took very good care of my 2 cats. Sent photos every couple of days. Will definitely hire Holly again”

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

About: Just graduated veterinary school and what to meet and care for the furry friends in the area. I’m here to make sure you and your pets needs are met! I’m currently looking for some part time work. I’m a student so I’m studying at lot in my home, so I’ll be able to keep an eye on fur babies. I’m a proud cat mom and lifelong animal lover, and my veterinary education has given me experience caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I’m active and enjoy getting outside for walks and runs with dogs, while also understanding that some pets would rather stay home and cuddle! I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: (Work schedule : Mon-Thurs 7:30am-3:30pm) I have been caring for the pets of my family and friends for well over 10 years now. I am the first person they call when they need someone to care for their pet. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, I absolutely love all animals And they hold a special place in my heart. I work Mon-Thurs 7:30am-3:30pm and can schedule around these times; including my lunch break. We can talk about what works for the both of us. I am allowed to care for cats in my apartment only, unfortunately. However, I have ample time to come by your home and care for any animals you may have.

“Megan did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 cats, and chickens! I could tell they were well cared for when I got home. I really appreciate the time and love you have them! Thank you Megan!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have loved animals since I was young. I began helping care for pets when I was around 12 years old, taking on responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have gained experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of providing patient, reliable, and loving care for every animal. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work fully remote which allows me to be home throughout most of the day to provide attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I also attend an internship on some weeknights, but I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care and maintain their normal routines. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable.

“Our kittens were so calm when we came home. Even our baby that is scared of his shadow loved her. She texted back within minutes. Our home was spotless.”

“Caitlyn took great care of my senior cat while I was out of town. She provided detailed updates and followed all care instructions. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, cozy snuggles, or catering to unique needs, I’m here to keep your furry friends happy, safe, and well-cared for. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to meet you both! I can fit any pet care into my schedule to whatever the customer needs with their schedule or their animals and I love to help anytime people need I take great care of my cat in my home. I always change his litter and I always make sure he eats at the correct times and I also give him lots of toys.

About: I’ve had an affinity towards the natural world especially animals. One of my mentors who is a wildlife educator and animal handler of over 30 years always tells me, “Mo, no matter what animal I put in front of you, they all want to play with you!” I am a certified vet tech assistant through the Florida veterinary medical association as of July 2011. I love working with animals, it’s my Ikigai! I work in sustainable real estate and start my day caring for my animals that I have rescued and am fostering. I have flexibility throughout my day between meetings and events to take care and hang out with your animals and give them some love. I understand behavior and will take safety precautions when walking and caring for the many animals I am entrusted to care for as they were my own.

About: I've been taking care of pets of all types, shapes, and sizes almost my entire life. I started a neighborhood dog walking "business" when I was 10 years old, I've owned a dog the vast majority of my life, and I have pet sat for friends and family countless times! My most recent dog passed away a few years ago, but he was a very sweet old boy (black lab/ something large mix, 12yo, 140lbs) so I have experience dealing with senior dogs and large dogs first hand, in addition to small dogs, puppies, and everything in-between! I also have experience pet sitting cats, lizards, frogs, fish, and more - I truly love animals of all kinds :) I work part time in Minneapolis and have plenty of time to look after pets! I have lots of free time and can be accommodating to you and your pets needs :) I am very organized and comfortable following any feeding/walking/medicine routine required to make your pet feel most comfortable. I am a very active person and could take your on walks of any length desired at whatever pace you (or your pup) would like!

About: I DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS ALONE AT NIGHT or during the day if requested! I offer 24/7 care for your furry, bald, or scaly family members. For extended stay house sitting I will adjust my service radius and accept further distance or travel time. I know a lot of people do this for extra income, I am a nurse by trade, I’m very passionate about the right of an owner feeling confident and not occupied wondering if someone is there. I don’t leave animals alone at night unless you specifically say so. I have a lot of experience with geriatric animals as well as anxious, barky dogs, cats with mental issues, chickens, exotic animals; reptiles such as large snakes and lizards, spiders, 🕷️ little furry friends, hedgehogs, fish, toucans, macaws, parrots, small birds and ferrets to name a few. I was 6 when I started my first job! I’m happily teaching my daughter young at the age of 4 It was me banging on your door and (without any introductions) yelling excitedly.. “DO YOU HAVE A DOG HOW MANY? ARE YOU CAT PEOPLE!? IS IT NICE ? CAN I WALK IT ? WHATS ITS NAME ? CAN I GIVE IT TREATS ? PEOPLE FOOD ? And yes that was ALL one sentence no response necessary as I welcomed myself further into your house to look for said dog…cat or leash and your cookie jar which led me to my next question; “do you have any cookies or cakes I can have?” .🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily I was just cute and outgoing enough to be welcomed over to play with the pets and tire them out for you! One day you would find me in your (locked or out of reach handle) SIX FOO TALL FENCED INI yard with your dogs or waiting for you to open the door I WAS OBSESSED 😬 eventually when you saw my strong bond and trust with your fur-balls you thought might not like kids…..I WAS IN!! Official dog walker with a new addition to my schedule. Which admittedly did lead to neighborhood search parties for your dog, thinking it ran away from the little girl two young to take care of it! (sorry Fur parents) they were actually sitting with me in my bedroom on my bed/refrigerator box made in to my dog fort (eating approved treats only!!) at my lame goldfish tank petless house. Just 7 wild sisters I couldn’t even trade for one dog!? Come on DAD! Anyways it’s a passion and a hobby, I have trained puppies have several weeks old to sit shake and lay down within a short period of time, I took my Aunt’s dogs always to doggy daycare and as an adult my past babies to fully owner trained facilities, I am a nurse of 14 years so I have all the BLS credentials as well as ACLS medical training, medication knowledge and after so many 20+ year old cats and dogs (my aunt really kept them happy!!) i’ve given just about every injection topical oral anal glandular ointment insulin you anti parasitic viral fungal and nasal! Yea nasal medication there is. At times living with my aunt who always had at least two dogs….and 5 cats…and a squirrel maybe some fish or my secret pet rat she knew nothing about (and was an actual wild rat I befriended) god I hope she doesn’t read this…now at 33 I am comfortable with “very pet friendly” houses, clutter or hoarding does not bother me as I grew up in many different homes and usually had multiple animals ranging from fish, Burmese pythons birds mice dragons, lizards, animal smells do not bother me, I have no allergies, I have no pets myself currently. There are a lot of people who offer cheaper services than I do so if your just looking for someone to basically stop and drop food you can save money picking someone else. I am an on-call Emergency nurse I make my own schedule. I don’t work for anyone but you when I watch your family member(s) I! am flexible with availability, I love animals and offer free grooming in your home for any candidates as well as wound care, med management, and oh yea ALL THE CUDDLES. I can get them to appointments if needed, as a first responder and nurse of 14 years I am very adept at recognizing any signs of distress, distrust, or pain. I have been able to safely manage situations that so quickly could have went bad by recognizing slight stance variation, a quick glance or change in affect on your baby. Typically if someone is noticeably obnoxious (or a kid with no training comes and puts its sticky hand in front of your babes face randomly while on a walk…I would expect nothing less and therefore am prepared. Hey we can’t all get along all the time right? For extended care with any animals that have separation anxiety or disabilities I prefer to care for animals in their home environment. Humans usually prefer this way and animals do as well, it limits anxieties and unknown. There’s at least familiarity and their own controlled routine. I do not mind doing doggy daycare or boarding a Young rambunctious pup that may not be bonded to an environment yet But typically they are so much more comfortable in their home, and you have peace of mind when you are away that not only your babies are being watched, but your property as well. As a basic care provider as well as certifications and years of being an emergency responder, safety is first. First and foremost. That applies to living beings first as well as home and surroundings. Knowing the correct commands and the rules that kids like to break when parents are away is always important and helps Foster trust and confidence between myself and your pets. Just as children crave structure and routine animals are no different! And if I’m being honest, sometimes easier.

“Percy was super communicative the whole time! Any time I reached out for updates on our little guy, he was quick to reassure and respond with pictures. He made me feel at ease and I could tell our cat had the best time and didn't want to leave! 10/10 nicest human being that you genuinely can trust with your little baby”
