Personalized care for your dog or cat - Little York

“She was amazing and was wonderful with my dog. She sent multiple daily updates and photos. Her dogs played well with mine and they had a great time. I will definitely keep her in mind for next booking.”

“My dog had his ‘best vacation’ staying here! I don’t travel often where I need to find him a place to stay—this was the best choice!! He has stayed at the vet before and hated being in a small kennel, he has been to a kennel a couple times, and while taken good care of there—he was separated from being inside a house with a family—what he is used to and what dogs want!!! He is getting older, has medicine he takes and just wants a little love when we were out of town. He quickly made friends with both of their dogs!! Every day I was gone, I received updates throughout the day including pictures showing his fun! I would recommend 100%!! :)”

“Kyla was able to take my Goldens in last minute and very flexible with drop off and pickup times. My guys loved it so much they didn’t want to leave! I will be making Kyla my preferred pet sitter!”

“I was extremely about leaving my super energetic pointer puppy while we went out of town but it turned out great! He got excellent care and looked very content in every picture I received.”

“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”

“Lakin was amazing at letting us know how our little fur baby was coping away from home. She sent us picture and videos and always responded pretty quickly to any message we sent. Our booking was last minute and we are very grateful that Lakin was able to accommodate for us. Would book again!!”

About: I have watched all dogs from puppy to old senior sweethearts, my heart belongs to all animals. My boy loves friends and always ready for a visitor! I am currently a stay at home mother, I have all the free time in the world. I spend my free time with my children and my fur babies!! I have a huge yard, not fenced in but safe and in a quiet neighborhood. All animals will be taken out on a leash and give PLENTY of time to go potty! I have a wonderful comfy couch that all animals are welcomed to cuddle with my family on!

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, from scooping litter boxes to wet and dry food, I know how to give them medications, and provide a well care experience to them.

About: I am a newer cat owner (four years now) but I am loving every minute of it and would love to help care for your precious kitty too.

“Carson was very sweet and we’re so happy we chose her to visit our little guys. The kitties have made a new friend. She took good photos from her visit and we definitely recommend her.”

About: I previously worked at a veterinary clinic for 3 years with dogs and cats! I have experience from puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats and giving some medications. Growing up I’ve dog sat for neighbors and friends. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood! I am currently working part time. However, I am available for in home boarding any day of the week. I’m available for dog walking on weekends or week day evenings. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 2 cats to keep yours company for their stay. There’s a walking trail close to my house that my dogs and I enjoy going to.

“Julie was great! This was the first time we had a sitter for our 6 month old puppy, Charley. Julie was very patient and understanding and very flexible concerning our ever-changing schedule. She kept us updated on Charley throughout his stay. We were very happy with Julie's care of our pup and will not hesitate to request her services again.”

About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new, full-time job, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also recently adopted a guinea pig and am getting a second one very soon, so have experience with “exotic” animals as well! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!
