House Sitting York Cliffs

“Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!”

“My scaredy cats are not overly friendly upon first meeting, but Claire was patient with them and worked her cat whispering magic to draw them out. They had such a good time with Claire that when we got back, they barely noticed. Claire asked a bunch of questions, and I felt comfortable leaving her in charge of my cats. I appreciated the many pictures she sent to let me know that both cats had been sighted and were being well cared for. Thank you, Claire!! Johann and Misha are already wondering when we’re going to leave again, so you can come back.”

About: I have been a pet "Mom" for many years. I treat each furbaby as one of my own. In addition, I'm a reliable, retired home care provider. My own dog is about 80 lbs, and I can expertly manage small, medium, and large dogs. I monitor pets and look for changes. I have partnered effectively with anyone who needs care for their pet. As long as no other owner has booked me, I am available 5 days a week and have flexibility with scheduling at this time. I will follow your instructions with how you keep your pets and your home, including how you manage your routines with food, potty breaks and walks and any special requests you have for their care. I will care for them as I would my own. For myself, I do enjoy quiet activities, and furbaby snuggles are one of those. My dog is a trained service dog. He is welcomed almost anywhere I go. He gets fed twice a day, treats as earned, and lots of love. I would pass these skills and habits along to your home and your pets.

“Beth was super communicative! My pups were in good hands 💕”

“Lorenzo was very kind to our dogs. He was a great communicator.”

“Alex sat our 2 dogs for 10 days in our home and we feel like our "girls" and our house were really well cared for. She was especially conscientious with our nervous girl Millie, working hard to ease her anxiety and gain her trust. We very much appreciated that Alex was mindful of how we do things, she asked questions when she wasn't sure, she was easy to communicate with, and sent us regular updates. A few unexpected circumstances arose that required her assistance with household tasks and she just rolled with it. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

About: Have had dogs and cats my whole life! Currently have two dogs and two cats Can tend to young and/or elderly pets Happy to spend as much of my time with pets as possible!! Pet care is a daily routine as I have an elderly dog who requires more involved care. I fit pet care in any where I can. My pets are my world and I know they are yours too, so I will take care of them as such. I prefer to go to the clients home so that the pet can be as comfortable as possible!

About: I love dogs and they seem to love me! I do not have my own dog currently but like to think of all those I watch as my own. I love to get them (and me) out for a walk especially on a beach or nearby trail. I also have a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and can match that energy level as well! If you need references I will be happy to provide them from Wallis, Teddie, Stella, Franklin, Buna, Wally, Tater, Judy, Kaya or Koda. I work from home so would not be away from your dog for more than an hour or two. If your dog likes the car, they can join me on errands/adventures. Or we can stay close to home for walks or snuggles. I care for dogs in their own home to keep them in familiar settings and routines. Important to know if they can be let outside in yard off leash or not, feeding times, what time is typical for wake up.

“My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!”

About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.

About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet will feel safe and happy in my care. I work part-time, so I'm available most weekday afternoons and weekends. I do have college classes Mondays & Wednesdays, so unfortunately I am unavailable in the afternoon those days. Pet care easily fits into my routine, allowing flexible, reliable service for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, providing personalized attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m unable to host pets due to having my own furbabies, but offer reliable, loving care on-site.

About: Experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I spent most of my life living with cats and dogs. I attended many dog training classes when training my reactive rescue. I usually work 8 - 5 ish on weekdays but can be available for walks, feedings, boarding, and lots of love on evenings and weekends! I currently feed and care for my roommate’s cat and rabbit when she is away (and give lots of attention to them when my roommate is home!). I have done the same for previous roommates’ cats and have pet sit for dogs, cats, and hamsters here and there ever since a child. I am happy to continue working on training your dog or providing more mental snd physical stimulation for your pet in your absence!

About: Hi there! My name is Clay and my Frenchie’s name is Vana. I am a work from home professional and dog sitter with years of experience caring for all types of pups. I am a huge animal lover and have always had a soft spot for dogs. In fact, I currently have a furry four-legged friend of my own who brings so much joy to my life. I understand that leaving your dog in the care of someone else can be stressful, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure your pooch is well taken care of while you're away. I am reliable, responsible, and will always put the needs of your dog first. When it comes to dog sitting, I offer a range of services including overnight stays, day care, and drop-in visits. I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. I am available for bookings on weekends and holidays and am happy to work with you to create a customized care plan that fits the needs of your dog. If you're looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter, I would be more than happy to care for your furry friend. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to book my services. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! As someone who works from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to attend to the needs of the pets in my care, such as providing food and water, taking them for walks, and giving them the love and attention they need. I also make sure to set aside dedicated time for pet care in my schedule. For example, if I am providing overnight stays for a pet, I will plan my work around their needs to ensure they are well taken care of. Overall, pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine, and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible to the animals in my care. When caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. This includes providing plenty of fresh water, a clean and cozy place to sleep, and any necessary toys or other amenities. I also make sure to keep a close eye on the pet to ensure their well-being and address any concerns or issues that may arise. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner and make sure to keep the home clean and tidy while the pet is in my care. I also keep a close eye on the pet to ensure their well-being and address any concerns or issues that may arise. Additionally, I am happy to follow any routines or schedules the pet is used to, such as feeding and walk times, to help make their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible.

“Amanda did such a great job taking care of our 3 rescue pitties! We have one puppy and two seniors, each with their own unique traits and needs. Amanda did a phenomenal job at accommodating their needs and keeping them comfy at home while we were away. We appreciate her attentiveness to detail and her communication skills. We will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her for taking care of your babies!”

About: I grew up with a lot of animals. I’ve also worked on a ranch when I was in my mid teens. I currently have one cat. Her name is Daisy. I’ve had her since 2012. I got her when she was a kitten. I’ve always enjoyed walking dogs! I have a full time time mon-Fri but I’d like to do it part time. I’d like to do part time. I’m available weekends or after 3:30pm on weekdays. My current full time job schedule is Mon-Fri 7am-3:30pm. Around those hours would be best. My cat Daisy is an indoor cat. She doesn’t ever go out because I live on a busy road. She used to be an indoor/outdoor cat until I moved a year ago. We had a little back yard that she could roam around in. She was trained to stay right around the area. I’ve never done professional work before but I’m really good with animals!

“Veronica is the best! Second time booking with her and again she went above and beyond to treat my pups like her own and make sure they were loved while I was away”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”

About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈‍⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please book a drop-in visit if you’d like an in-person meet and greet. I prefer not to be around cigarettes, vape, artificial scents and harsh chemicals (detergents, dryer sheets, perfumes, candles, air fresheners, harsh chemicals, etc.) These are not healthy for us or our beloved animals ✌️🐾♥️). *Important* my house is temporarily limited at the moment, so for daycare services, I’d prefer to entertain your dog (or cat on a leash) around town, hang out at the lodge or go for a long walk or hike rather than back to my place. If this is an issue, please message me before booking. When messaging please include a “💚” so I know you read this. Thank you! Additionally, please message me if you would like to discuss rates. Thank you 🥰♥️🤗 I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.

“Grace was fantastic! She was warm, bubbly, and instantly connected with our dogs—they were snuggling with her before we even left the garage. She was incredibly flexible and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. She gave us so much peace of mind, especially with our 14-year-old senior dog. We’d love to have her back anytime!”
