“Brandi is so great with Milo! He loves going on walks with her and the treats she brings for him! She’s great about sending update pictures of their walk too!”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! We have 2 dogs between 50-60 lbs each. We were gone for a week during the coldest time and Krystal was fantastic. She was able to walk dogs an hour each day and always sent updates about the weather, how they were doing, and feedback on the walks. She also sent pictures. She was great at very communication and really understand dogs and their behaviors. I highly highly recommend her.”
“Thanks for setting up meet & greet so quickly! I appreciate the pics from your walk today and Bella seems very relaxed and content after her hour walk. Much needed!”

“Amazing! My dog really likes her and she takes very good care of her. Will hire again.”
About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.
About: I can’t remember a time that I didn’t have a pet. Whether that be, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, turtles, ducks and even a tortoise. I have always had a furry friend to take care of. Now as an adult I have 2 big ol’ dogs and 2 cats of my own that keep me on my toes. I have a lot of experience with puppies, kittens, elderly animals and also have experience with providing medication to pets including having to give insulin to diabetic fur babies. I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) and help you with whatever needs they may have! I have a lot of free time these days but also have a 6 year old daughter that takes up some of that time. I am more than willing to allocate most of the remaining time to helping you and your family. I have two high energy dogs with a big fenced in back yard and lots of room to run around. I also have a very big neighborhood that is perfect for long walks.
About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. One of my cats has asthma and takes pills to manage it. I have experience caring for my sister’s chihuahua, and caring for hamsters as my sisters and I had them as pets growing up. Petsitting is my main job at the moment, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than an hour or two, as an example)l. I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot keep up with them enough to give them the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive.
“This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs who are a big part of my daily routine—I play with them, make sure they get plenty of exercise, feed them nutritious meals, and, most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered with a local rescue organization, helping homeless puppies find loving homes. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in need, giving them a safe and nurturing environment while they wait for their forever families. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs with patience and compassion. I’m available on weekends and most holidays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup, including visits to your home if needed. During the week, I work a regular 8–5 job, but I make time in my schedule to provide consistent care. I can stop by for potty breaks and walks in the morning before work, around lunchtime (around noon) if needed, and again in the evening after 5 PM. Your dog’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet—whether it’s in my home or yours. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. I’m always mindful of keeping anything unsafe (like cords, small objects, or toxic foods) out of reach, and I never leave pets unattended in risky situations. When caring for a client’s dog, I follow their routine closely and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether we’re on a walk, having playtime, or just cuddling, your dog’s well-being is always my focus.
About: Throughout my life I have always had a dog. I grew up with a black lab, and also currently have two little rat terriers. Growing up with dogs I know how to take care of them and also know how to interact and treat them well. I love taking dogs on walk and playing with them outside. I am a teacher so I am available early in the morning, all afternoon/night, and I am free weekends as well to take care of your pet. I am very loving and caring with animals and will treat your pet like they are my own. If you have any specific requests you would like to give me about your animal I would be more than happy to fulfill. I am a teacher who works from 7:30am to 2:45pm. I am free early in the morning as well as during the afternoon and at night. Weekends are normally free for me to take care of your pet. I love going on walks with dogs as well as popping in for a play date! Making sure your dog or cat has what they need would be a priority for me, and making sure they feel safe and you feel comfortable will be very important to me!

About: I have had the opportunity to accumulate 15 years of invaluable personal pet sitting experience. From the first moment I took on the responsibility of caring for a neighbor's furry companion, I discovered a deep passion and innate connection with animals. Whether it was providing daily walks, feeding, playing or simply offering companionship, each pet became so very special to me. Through these encounters, I honed my ability to understand the unique needs and behaviors of different animals, ensuring their comfort and happiness during their time in my care. This experience has not only solidified my commitment to the well-being of animals but has also instilled a sense of ease and reliability among pet owners who have entrusted me with their beloved companions. I'm currently working remotely for my family business, but my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can completely revolve my day(s) around you and your sweet pet. I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect, whether we’re in the comfort of your home or out enjoying a walk. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I stay alert, use secure equipment, and follow your specific instructions to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after at all times.
About: I have much experience with animals. I have had a couple pets growing up including dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig! I love all animals! I am currently a full time college student and work full time as well! I am looking for part time work after 3pm Monday-Friday and open availability on Saturday and Sunday! When I had my dog a little over 5 years ago- I had a great set up for him. I had a kennel, leash for walks, and endless amounts of toys and treats! I loved bringing my dog on car rides which included getting a pup cup or some ice cream. I also enjoyed bringing my dog on walk and hikes!
“Abbey was fantastic! Great communicator and sent pics and updates. Will use her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Gracie, a speech pathology graduate student living in the Rockford area. I'm looking for furry walking buddies to make some extra money in my free time.

You're welcome to send me a message with any or all inquires. I'd love to get to know you dog or other pet more. In the meantime, have a wonderful day! I’m currently on winter break in between semesters at college, so my current availability is very flexible to suit your schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your pet care needs. I usually spend my time accompanying the pets when I’m house sitting for my clients. If I need to run an errand or take care of business outside of the house, then I will take your pet for an additional potty break and feel comfortable crating your pet if needed.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs ranging from very small to very large. I am very comfortable around all animals. I am very cautious and alert since I have a husky who runs. I grew up on a farm, so I am also used to all sorts of animals, such as horses and pigs. I am an early childhood education major at Northern Illinois University. I currently work at Rockton Grade, School, as an assistant teacher, and have the summer off, and the fall as I am doing to student teach in the spring. I am very reliable and flexible. I am more of a homebody, so I am usually enjoying activities, such as gardening, reading, and painting. I know how to communicate properly and will always make sure to give updates and stay in frequent touch. I am currently working at Rockton Grade school, but I have the summer off since it is now summer break. I am home until after winter break when I start student teaching! I have open availability Sunday through Monday, but in primarily looking for work during the weekdays of Monday through Friday. I am very accustomed to animals. I currently have a full bred Siberian husky. That is my best friend. We do many things together and he is fully trained.

I make sure to provide a clean environment if animals were ever to come over to my residence. Otherwise, I am very neat and organized. I have no trouble with keeping things clean and safe for animals. I know how hard it is to leave a furry baby and I do my best to make you feel as good as possible, just like I would when leaving my animals!

9. Jaymee D.
“As we all know, our pets are our babies. My dog, Leia, is very skittish, and can be tricky to walk. She needs whoever walks her to pay close attention to her because one loud sound can scare her and cause her to bolt. Leia is also a bit of a couch potato and will refuse to walk at times. Jaymee makes sure to give her the attention and patience she requires. She LOVES to play with her and makes sure shes very active, which I highly appreciate! You can tell that Jaymee truly loves animals and respects their owner.”

13. Anna Q.
“Anna has had at least one dog in her life continuously since she was 3 years old. By observing dog care and training beginning at an early age she has became quite an expert. There have been a variety of other pets and rescue situations that have allowed Anna to become knowledgeable and compassionate where animals are concerned. Her family considers dogs/pets family and treats them that way. She is a hard worker and takes pride in doing a good job no matter what the task may be. Overall, her true love for dogs makes her a perfect person to care for your 4 legged family member.”

18. Brittany T.
“I can’t recommend Brittany enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she truly loves and understands animals. Tito warmed up to them instantly, and I could tell they were in great hands. While I was away, Brittany provided regular updates, including adorable pictures and detailed messages about how things were going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was not just being cared for but genuinely loved and spoiled. They went above and beyond—whether it was extra playtime, long walks, or just cuddles on the couch. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and wonderful with pets, look no further. I’ll definitely be booking Brittany again!”
