Dog Sitting in Rockford

“Elana was our first experience using Rover and won’t be our last. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of our 10mo Great Dane. She sent us daily updates and spent some extra time giving our boy some love. I highly recommend her and will be sure to seek her out next time we go away, our pup was super happy when we came home and you could tell he wasn’t stressed a bit. Huge relief for us because this was the first time we left him. Thanks Elana!!!!”

“If I could give Jasmin 10 stars, I would, but Rover only allows five! She took the time to do a meet and greet with me and my 8-week old puppy. Jasmin is ALWAYS on time which is important to me because we are potty training. She provides recaps with photos and a note. She also came to my rescue on very short notice. I will use Jasmin’s services for as long as I can. ☺️”

“Ysalys is wonderful! My pack of dogs can be a handful and they immediately took to her. She was punctual and took great care of them which really put my mind at ease! I look forward to using her in the future”

About: I am a veterinary student at UTCVM. I got my first dog at the age of 10, so I have been actively caring for pets for more than half of my life. I have worked with dogs and cats in a clinic setting the last 4 years. I have actively pet sat since I was 12 for local people in my neighborhood. I love puppies and I have a lot of experience caring for geriatric patients who need that extra care at home! I am currently in the middle of vet school so I am busy mostly during the week, but I am available on weekends! I am also available on Fridays usually and I am willing to work with you to see if your pet needs any additional care or time! During winter, summer and other week long breaks I am 100% available! I can easily crate your dog if needed and make sure that they have everything they need while their owner is away. It’s important to make sure both the environment and the animal is safe when no one is around and to make the area as pet friendly as possible.

“Elaina was very thoughtful and reliable in her care of our two older female dogs. She was highly communicative leading up to our trip and was willing to do an in-person meet and greet beforehand which made everyone more comfortable. She was consistent in her arrival times and respected our home, keeping it clean and tidy for our arrival. We SO appreciate her care during our time out of town! We highly recommend her services.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. I hope to ease your worries by ensuring your pets are left in the best hands, and will care for them like I care for my own. I work 9-5 with remote flexibility and the ability to pop out and care for pets as needed - if I take a job, it means I can make it work. I like to approach a new home with cautious friendliness to make sure the animals there know I am only here to help (and give treats and pets!)

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, horses, and birds! I spoil my own two dogs and would love to spoil yours. I house-trained both my dogs and have no problem cleaning up accidents for the little ones! I have experience with pets recovering from medical procedures as well. I am a student who has classes most mornings/afternoons, but I am available lots of evenings and on weekends for when you want to go out and have fun! Depending on the day I can also do mid-day check ins or walks. I make sure to pay close attention to your pet's needs and their preferences, so it's important to me that clients tell me everything I need to know to keep their pets happy. I want to get to know your pets so I can give them the best care possible, and I like to follow each client's routines to avoid disrupting their pet's routine.

“Mya is amazing!! Took such great care of our dog- even got her to eat her food (she sometimes refuses to eat when we leave), updated us with pics, watered our plants, brought our packages in, just all around awesome! Your pets will be in great hands. Will be recommending her to our friends and using her any time we go out of town!”

Although I do not have any dogs at the moment, I am able to help other owners take care of their four legged family members! I will treat your animals just the way you treat them, with kind and loving care. I enjoy taking dogs on on walks and can ensure that they will get the exercise they need and make sure to cater to any special needs your animal may need.

“Amazing! She was absolutely awesome. Highly recommend Lauren as she is someone who loves all pets. Went above and beyond and got our dog medication while we were away. Will definitely be using her again on our future trips. Pets were super happy when we returned and really loved everything she did while we were away!”

“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”

“Lanessa was wonderful and really went above and beyond for my two girls. She was very communicative and the cats seemed to really grow to like her over the duration of the time. I would not hesitate to both recommend her to anyone looking, and I would also not hesitate to book her again when I need a pet sitter! Highly recommended!”
