“Karson did an exceptional job watching our little Ruby. Ruby is only 4 months old and to say she’s a handful is an understatement. Karson was very patient and attentive with Ruby and even took the time to help train her and tame her energetic puppy behavior. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Appreciated tremendously and would highly recommend booking with them.”

About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a child, and have always begged my parents for a cat! I have experience pet sitting both dogs and cats, and have been in the business for more than 5 years! I can administer medicine, and any special care your animal might need. I’m happy to accommodate! I am a college student who has class MWF until 1:30! After that, I have the rest of the day to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment with grass all along the property. There is plenty of space for walks, and any exercise your pet might need!

“Carrie and her family recently cared for our doggie for a week at their house, and I could not be happier. They provided amazing care for her and kept us up to date with photos and videos the entire time. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time and I'm sure she would be thrilled to go back and see Carrie anytime!”

About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.

“Avery and Layton were so sweet and great with my dog, Sadie. I usually leave her with my family but wasn't able to this time, which made me really worried. However, all of my worries quickly disappeared due to the consistent communication and photos that were sent to me. I was out of the country without cell service, and Avery and Layton were very receptive and understanding and communicated via the app. They treated Sadie like their own with frequent walks and even some new neighborhood dog friends. I was really pleased with my experience, but most importantly, Sadie was clearly impressed. I would highly recommend Avery and Layton and hope they're available any time I leave town in the future.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. Two night minimum required. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 11:30-1:30 p.m. and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 10 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! 🐈

About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas and cared for and helped train K9 dogs, so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of administrating medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.

About: Since I was a kid, I've been an avid animal lover of all creatures big and small. I've fostered, rehabilitated, and cared for countless animals (pets & wildlife) with a focus of kindness and respect first and foremost. I have hands-on experience with agression, reactivity, separation anxiety, high-energy, and sick/poor health. I currently have 2 dogs in my care (7 & 6) that I rescued as puppies and they've traveled with me all over the southeast. Our favorite activities are exploring in the woods and seeing who is the muddiest at the end of each adventure. I'm very intentional about creating a space for animals to exist as they naturally do, it's a wonder to see how each animal navigates the world and to see their unique personalities shine. I'm currently between jobs, working self-employed gigs here and there, leaving my schedule flexible and open to last-minute care for your pets! I keep my calendar updated daily to ensure accurate availability and give priority to return clients. I am very adamant on making sure your pet receives the same care and routine they are accustomed to. I have experience in a wide arrange of personalities and have personal experience in dogs that need special care and attention with behavior. I do hands-on training with my dogs daily to work on their behavior (one of them is very leash/dog reactive) I have experience is caring for animals with heath needs and stubborn behavior, from administering oral medicine to grooming/nail trimming.

Viviana took great care of my dog and provided many pictures of Goose exploring her property. I could tell that he was enjoying himself while staying with Viviana. She did an excellent job in communicating with me when I was delayed in my return. I will be using her when I go on my next adventure.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Rockford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Rockford is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $33 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 403 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockford. About 96% of Rockford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
