Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Rochelle

Rochelle

The 3 parks through which the Four Sisters Bike Path travels are great destinations for dog-friendly activities in their own right! Atwood Park features a 3-mile path for walking and running with Fido in tow, and lots of lawn for on leash romping and lying about with a picnic lunch. It also features a cool playground for the kiddos, and a bandstand with seating for concerts and other events. Flannigan Park is also a family-oriented park with a playground, and of course the Bike Path traveling through it. Picnic tables are scattered throughout for those al fresco meals with family and the pooch! Tilton Park is primarily focused on its sports facilities, like basketball courts, but it also has plenty of grassy areas and trees which make visiting the park fun just to be outdoors. Walks with the fur-pup, picnics or just throwing down a blanket and relaxing are all pawsome ways to enjoy Tilton!

Flagg

Flagg is a community adjacent to Rochelle that is home to the VFW Park, which features the Bark Park, an off-leash, fenced area where your fur-pup can socialize with other dogs and get some exercise. The Bark Park provides plenty of space and shade trees, plus a water fountain and security gate. The VFW Park features acres of grass for on-leash play and walking, along with a picnic shelter, an awesome playground for the youngsters and a basketball court. Benches dot the walkways around the park, which are paved for easy going Be sure to check out the VFW Park – it’s a pawtastic family and Fido spot!

Flagg Center

Flagg Center is a town to the west of Rochelle where you’ll find Skare Park, a wide-open green park that features a pavilion shelter, driving range, and 7 walking trails where you and your fur-pup can amble along through trees and meadow. Part of the Kyte River flows through the park, and the riverbanks offer plenty of opportunities to see amphibians and other wildlife, especially in the early and late parts of the day. Birds are abundant here, and the trails are user-friendly, some mowed tracks through tall grasses. Three of the trails follow the Kyte River’s shores, and some are looped, while others are out-and-back. With this variety, you and your furry bestie have a lot to choose from! Woofderful!

Oregon

The nearby town of Oregon is home to the dog-friendly Lowden-Miller Forest. Covering approximately 2,300 acres of wooded land, the forest features 22 miles of trails including the River Loop Trail, a looped path of almost 5 miles that offers challenges for the casual hiker or runner. It’s also where you’ll find the Lowden State Park, also welcoming to leashed pups, which features a large campground along with 4 miles of hiking trails and other attractions on its 207 acres. Both parks overlook the Rock River Valley, and from the bluffs above the river, you may see raptors riding the thermals above and other wildlife around the river’s edge.

Franklin Grove

The community of Franklin Grove near Rochelle contains the dog-friendly Franklin Creek Natural Wildlife Area. Within these 882 acres are equestrian and hiking trails, groomed for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, and a 200-acre nature preserve that provides endless hours of exploration and discovery for you and your leashed fur-buddy.
