House Sitting in Rockford

About: I've been taking care of dogs all my life. I have whelped 2 litters of puppies from my sweet golden retriever Daisy. We love dogs and long walks on our property! Let your dog get a vacation/retreat from city life and enjoy the fresh air on the mountain here! I am here all the time so your dogs get LOTS of attention & walks. We are home full time so we are here to give your pets the full attention they need! We are excited to have your pet experience life on the mountain with fresh air and long walks! I have a fenced yard, a friendly golden retriever who loves having friends over, and country trails to take the dogs on long walks. Trust us to take care of your pets and allow them to have a retreat away from home.

About: I have taken care of 8 dogs and 1 cat multiple times in the last two years. I have given insulin injections to a senior dog and given vet prescription medicine to another dog. I make the sure the pets are exercised and played with, along with a lot of loving attention. I am currently working part time and have college coming up in the fall. I am able to take care of pets for most of the day depending on my school and work schedule which I will have in the summer. I clean the litter box of our 3 cats, make sure the 2 dogs are fed and have water. I also brush the dogs when they are shedding. I give a lot of affection and attention to the pets in my house. I also own a horse who I feed and water, give exercise to, and make sure is clean and healthy.

“Sophia is always my number one go to when looking for a sitter. Great communication and gets the best photos of the animals. She does such a great job with my dogs and cat, that one of my dogs always sits by the door waiting for her to come back after she leaves lol”

“Emma was absolutely amazing. She took great care of my little Stormi. She sent updates with pictures and did everything I asked. She was very accommodating with my crazy schedule. And was easy to talk to about my needs. I will be using her for now on. Thank you!”

“Jalai was responsive and able to watch our pets very short notice on a holiday weekend! They were well taken care of and happy. Will book again”

“Monique was a delight to work with. She did a great job as our House/Dog sitter She did a Meet & Greet visit to our home prior to booking. She kept us updated with numerous texts and photos that helped us feel relaxed on our trip. Looked like she and our dog Fargo had a great time together. Would definitely use Monique again.”

“When Logan and Xena met Velma, it was ahroo at first sight! Because they are Shibas, this was impressive and we booked with her while we went on a week's vacation. Velma didn't dissappoint! She dropped Xena's eye on schedule and coaxed Logan into his nightly medication. Velma made sure the puppers were happy and cared for. When we arrived home, the house was neat and tidy, just like we left it. Velma will be Xena and Logan's friend furever.”

“Claire was absolutely wonderful with my shy, timid pup--he warmed up to her quickly, and Claire provided constant updates throughout the sitting. I cannot thank Claire enough for her communication, professionalism, and compassion.”

“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”

Robert M.

“Rachel is the best! Very professional and responsive. My dogs love her and are always well cared for while I’m away. She always leaves the house clean and is such a thoughtful house/ dog sitter. Will definitely be using Rachel again and again! She’s very reliable, loving towards the dogs, and when she’s watching the dogs/house we know we don’t have to worry about a thing. Peace of mind is amazing to have while on vacation.”

Mackenzie H.

“Meighan was great with our Tahlia who is a cock-a-poo that thinks she is a human. We used Meighan to stay at our home for a week to stay with our dog so she wasn’t left alone. Communication was great with daily check-ins. Tahlia was well cared for, all directions followed. Our home was in perfect condition when we got back. We would absolutely use Meighan again.”

“#1 Gabby and Kade toke such good care of our doggie! They sent me updates and pictures throughout the day of Maggie and their care of her. They communicated with us so well and made us feel totally comfortable knowing our doggie was still living her best life :) #2 They toke such good care of our home. They went over and above and watered my flowers and left the home just like we left it. Everything washed and put away. So nice. Highly recommend Gabby and Kade!”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

“Shenna was wonderful with our dogs and brought real peace of mind while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, showed genuine affection for the animals, and carried a calm “I got this” confidence from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a clean, well-cared-for home. Her reliability and care truly stood out, and we’d definitely book with her again.”

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: Raised around show dogs, with 15 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator offering loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention. My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.

“We were very nervous using Rover, but Erica put our mind at ease. She took great care of our house and two dogs. We got pictures of everything and she was great about coming before hand so I could meet her.”

“We love when Anna Lee stays with our pups! She is so attentive to their habits and needs, and they have clearly claimed her as part of their pack! She takes excellent care of our home, leaving it as good (if not better) than when we left. It's such a gift to be able to get away and not worry about our "krds" or home!”

Mike K.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Leah to look after my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the initial meeting, Leah showed genuine warmth and care towards my dogs, making me feel completely at ease. She provided regular updates with photos which helped ease my worries about leaving them with someone new. My dogs seemed so happy and well-exercised. I came back to happy dogs and a spotless home! I highly recommend Leah to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. It’s clear that she loves animals and truly cares about giving them the best care possible. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
