House Sitting York Terrace

“Highly recommend Christina for in-home pet sitting! She stayed for over a week and our two dogs and cat seemed very content and well-cared for and our home was in perfect condition upon our return. Her communication is great, stopped by twice prior for meet and greets since this was our first time having her stay. We received multiple pictures each day which was an added bonus. Both of our dogs take medication and she was comfortable handling that and even offered to help with fish, plants, trash, and mail if needed. 😁 Overall very happy with our experience and appreciative of the excellent care we received.”

“Kelly looked after my two cats for 1.5 weeks while I was gone. Both cats recently developed medical conditions that require medication and monitoring, so I was nervous to leave them. Kelly did an outstanding job with everything and was totally on top of their feeding and medication schedules. It was such a reassurance to have her stay, and she was very responsive with updates and photos. I would absolutely book her again!”

“I am always worried when I leave my pets to go on vacation but Nicole kept us updated with pictures on a daily basis and everyone was healthy and happy to see us when we got home. The house was also neat and clean. Thanks, Nicole! I will definitely contact you for future trips!”

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

“I have a problem eater 15 year old Yorkie. Matthew worked patiently with my little guy, coaxing him to eat. This was also the first time my Yorkie had been without me in all his life and he was very upset at first. Matthew worked to calm him down and ultimately Laddie was happy to be with his new "brother". He sent lots of pics and videos. He was great; I highly recommend this young man.”

About: When I was very young I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats with my family .I want to give animals the best care. I have in the navy but my schedule is pretty flexible right now I usually get off after one everyday so I have a lot of times to watch your fur babies ! I currently don’t have any pets at the moment due to my military career but I would absolutely give the best care an attention they need .

“Carissa was so wonderful with my senior pups - handling a complicated med schedule and caring for them so well. Communication was stellar, and really appreciated all the happy pics. Highly recommend!”

“Linda was a fantastic sitter for Shadow and we will definitely use her again when we travel. She kept us very well informed and sent pictures daily. She even washed the sheets and towels used which was an added surprise. It was great to travel worry free with Linda’s care of our girl. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

About: One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand and respond to dogs’ body language. I pay close attention to their behavior and little signals so I can recognize when they’re comfortable, nervous, overwhelmed, or need some space. I have a special soft spot for nervous and anxious dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I’ve spent the past 6 years caring for my own dog, who can be nervous and easily startled, which has taught me a lot about patience, building trust, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. I never want a dog to feel pressured or ignored—I let them come to me at their own pace while giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending lots of time with the pets in my care. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can provide plenty of companionship, attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and adjust my schedule to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because it allows me to stay with pets and give them consistent care and company while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. When house sitting, I keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to their needs, give them plenty of love and companionship, and pay close attention to their body language so I can recognize when they’re happy, nervous, or need some space. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep things clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover who has cared for a wide variety of animals, including cats, kittens, senior cats, ferrets, and dogs of different breeds and sizes. This experience helps me quickly recognize each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and care needs. I can provide attentive and dependable support while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for both friendly and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience caring for puppies. I understand the extra patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement they require. I’ve had my husky since she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of her development. This has helped me understand how a dog’s needs change from puppyhood through adulthood. I can provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for both puppies and adult dogs. I currently care for a husky, a boa constrictor, and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. My experience with exotic pets has made me comfortable following specialized care instructions. I’m also experienced with maintaining precise routines and paying close attention to details that are important for an animal’s health and well-being. Pet care is currently my part-time work. My primary profession involves working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work has strengthened my patience, communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow individualized routines. These skills directly benefit my clients by helping me provide calm, consistent, and personalized care for each pet. I understand the importance of clear communication with owners. I will keep you informed about how your pet is doing. I hope to continue building on these skills as I work with, train, rehabilitate, and study animals. My future goals include working primarily with dogs, exotic animals, and aquatic animals. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. This helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that are shy, high-energy, reactive, or slow to warm up to new people. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to interact at their own pace. I provide gentle encouragement, patience, and reassurance. My goal is to build trust and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I can provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, basic enclosure care, and companionship. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in dependable and compassionate hands. My schedule is mostly remote and very flexible. I am available most days and times on both weekends and week days. I do travel sometimes for my full-time job, which would be the main reason I would not be available. I care for my pets as part of my daily routine and make sure their individual needs are met throughout the day. My husky receives regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, attention, and downtime. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, so caring for her has been a consistent part of my life for years. I also care for a boa constrictor and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. I maintain their enclosures and monitor their temperature, humidity, feeding, water, and overall environment based on their individual needs. Their enclosures are kept secure and separate from my other pets. With any animal in my care, I pay attention to behavior and body language, provide appropriate enrichment and interaction, and make adjustments when I notice their needs have changed. I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and making sure each animal receives the level of care and attention appropriate for their species and personality.

About: I have grown up around animals and am very knowledgeable on how to interpret animal behaviors and enjoy ensuring that your pet has the same standard of care and attention that you would expect of someone caring for your loved one. I currently am not working, so I have even more time to spend taking care of those special ones in your life. I will always make sure to treat your pet as if it were my own. I live in a spacious apartment with dog park and plenty of space for walks and I have a screened-in porch to allow animals to get fresh air regardless.

About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.

“Amazing! Went above and beyond!”

“This is the second time Jenny has stayed at our house with our two pups and I once again, we came home to a clean house and two very happy well taken care of dogs. I love that she sends pictures and updates, it really helps an anxiety pup mom like myself to feel relaxed and enjoy myself while gone. Thank you again so much, Jenny!!!”

“I had to go out of town for a week and Ramona out. Did a wonderful job. Taking care of my pets. Great feedback on a daily basis would very highly recommend. Very trustworthy.”

About: I ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for your furry, scaly, or finned friends while you're away. Whether it's a lazy stroll for your pup, ensuring your cat's needs, or tending to your aquatic or reptilian companions, rest assured that they're in loving and capable hands! I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furbabies, I’m just a call away if there is an immediate need! I’m available at just about all times! I care for pets in my clients home and fur-babies as I do my own, if there is a fenced in yard I always double check that gates are locked. I make sure to check their food, water, look around the home to make sure there isn’t anything that needs to be tidied up. I make sure any non-safe objects are out of reach.

“Kellee allowed us to really enjoy our vacation, free of guilt and worry. She’s mature, thorough and so trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and also regularly help care for cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always follow any special instructions you provide. As a healthcare professional, I’m also very detail-oriented and take safety and routines seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents always know when I’m available. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the routine and instructions you provide. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, and keeping pets secure in their environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.

“My needs changed so Patricia did not end up doing this stay; however, she was very kind and sympathetic and I would recommend her as a compassionate care giver.”
