Hi there, my name is Kyla! Most of the time, I work at NIU getting my PhD in psychology. When I can, I love getting the opportunity to care for dogs! I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and I’m always the first one people call on when they need a pet sitter! I treat each and every dog like they are my own and I will go above and beyond to make sure that each walk is specialized to your pup’s needs, whether that be an active run or gentle attention. I can’t wait to meet your dog and get their tail wagging!

I love dogs of all types and since I don't have a dog of my own right now, I'd love to spend time with yours. I also have experience dog sitting and at one point did it for 2 weeks straight! Furthermore, I just graduated high school and am planning on focusing my career on being a veterinarian or even joining the military. I am also trying my best to become a professional athlete and love to play sports such as football and basketball.

I’ve grown up with dogs. I adopted my girl Jill about 6 months ago, she turned 7 after the first month. My heart goes out to those older shelter pups and I’ve dedicated myself to rescuing those “less desirable” doggos. I consider any dog a puppy no matter their age. Love small and large dogs!

Dog Walking in Rochelle
Rochelle is a city located along the Kyte River that once served as a shipping hub for the surrounding farms, then became a meat-packing and produce-canning center. Today, informally known as “Hub City,” it has lots of outdoor spaces for furtastic activities with your fur-baby, including parks, lakes, streams, and rivers. And if your fur-pup needs medical care for an illness or injury, rest assured that help is nearby. With 2 veterinary hospitals in Rochelle and several others nearby, your fur-baby will be better soon!
The dog-friendly Four Sisters Bike Path is a 4-mile multi-use trail that connects 3 Rochelle parks and travels through the suburban landscape as well as fields and meadows with more pastoral scenes. Beginning at Atwood Park and arcing north to Flannigan Park, then south along the Kyte River to Tilton Park, Four Sisters is paved its entire length, so you and Fido will likely encounter bicyclists and skaters along your route, and it is also wheelchair accessible. The city has marked the path as it courses past homes, schools and an athletic complex, and has provided 2 water fountains along the way. There are a few low-traffic street crossings so be sure to keep Fido tightly leashed at these intersections. Parking is available at both endpoints, and at Flannigan Park. Pawsome!
Whether you and your pup live in Rochelle or are just visiting, you’ll find lots to do here and in the surrounding communities!

It also features a cool playground for the kiddos, and a bandstand with seating for concerts and other events.
