Top cities for dog boarding in Canada

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Markham for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Markham Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Markham sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

I've been an animal lover—especially dogs—for as long as I can remember! Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and was lucky to have my own beloved pup by my side for 16 wonderful years. When your fur baby stays with me, you can trust they’ll be cared for with love, attention, and lots of tail-wagging fun. I’ll treat them like one of my own. 
I’m a full-time teacher during the school year, and in the summer, I dedicate my time to dog boarding. I only take one dog at a time to ensure they get my full attention. I’m home throughout the day and love spending quality time walking, playing, and relaxing with my furry guests.
I live in a spacious two-bedroom condo, where your dog will always be safe, supervised, and comfortable. Walks are a regular part of our day, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and affection.


The primary reason I am pursuing pet sitting is my genuine love for animals. I find great joy in spending time with pets, playing with them, and providing attentive care. Additionally, pet sitting offers the flexibility and independence I value, allowing me to manage my own schedule while working with a variety of animals. As a pet owner myself, I have gained substantial hands-on experience in understanding their habits and daily needs.

I believe pets possess a unique charm—they are not only adorable but also bring immense joy and relaxation to our lives. Like cherished friends and family, they offer companionship and happiness. I understand how important they are, and how concerning it can be when work or travel makes it difficult to meet their daily needs. That’s why I am committed to providing reliable, high-quality care, which includes:

- Maintaining a clean living environment for pets
- Providing regular walks and attentive care for dogs and cats
- Following scheduled feeding and hydration routines
- Ensuring adequate exercise and playtime for their well-being
- Conducting safety checks on fences, gates, and doors to keep pets secure

One of my most rewarding experiences was caring for a high-energy, one-year-old dog named Sunny for a three-week period while his owners were abroad. Beyond the essential daily care—including tailored feeding, long exploratory walks, and grooming—I focused on positive reinforcement training to address his mild separation anxiety and leash-pulling. By implementing a consistent routine, using clicker training for calm behavior when I departed, and practicing "heel" commands with treats during walks, we made significant progress. Sunny became more relaxed when alone and far more manageable on the leash. This experience taught me that exceptional pet sitting goes beyond reliable care; it's about patiently reinforcing good habits, providing mental stimulation, and ensuring the pet feels both secure and happy in their owner's absence, which I document with regular photo updates.



I am a passionate animal lover with extensive experience in dog caregiving. Since the age of 13, I have been providing care for my own dogs, forming a special bond with them, and doing my best to ensure their lives are healthy and happy. Together with my spouse, we provided a loving home for our Miniature Schnauzer for 11 years, contributing to his long and healthy life until the age of 14.

Currently, we have been caring for our Wire Haired German for nearly 3 years with utmost dedication. The time spent with him has reinforced the value of the special bond created with dogs. The photos and writings shared on my Instagram account reflect our intimate relationship with dogs and the enjoyable moments we share.

Working with you would be a fantastic opportunity to further broaden my experience in dog caregiving and share my expertise in the field. With strong communication skills and a sense of responsibility, I assure you that I will provide the necessary care for the health, happiness, and safety of the dogs.

Hi, I’m Tanvi, a calm, responsible, and reliable pet lover based in East York. My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of the trust involved in caring for someone’s pet and home.
I shared my life with a Golden Retriever named Ruby, who lived a full, happy life. Caring for her from puppyhood through her senior years taught me patience, responsibility, and how important consistency and routine are for dogs. That experience shaped the way I approach pet care with attentiveness, kindness, and respect for each pet’s individual needs.
In addition to personal experience with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. For everyone’s safety, I prefer to care for vaccinated pets and value clear communication about health, behaviour, and routines.
I offer paid overnight pet boarding, dog walking, daily house visits, and pet check-ins, ideal for owners who want dependable care without overnight stays.&nbsp;
I’m happy to provide regular photo updates and thoughtful communication so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.


I'm a certified position rewards based dog trainer , l lost my dog in March so I'm still grieving . I figured I could still have doggy time this way and make some extra cash. I love big dogs, I know how hard it is to find someone to care for them when you want a vacay. Well I'm here for you. I'll meet your fur babies with you and win them over so you can get some much needed beach time. 
I work full time Monday-Friday so availability depends on if you need 24 hrs care or not. 
I am unable to accommodate separation anxiety at my home but happy to work with it at yours . 
I can do weekends at my home, but I'm in an apartment although it is right by the Don Valley park system. It's not ideal but I can do ( Friday evening to Sunday evening) 
I'm happy come stay at your home while you're away for as long as you need. I'm ok giving medications and respecting whatever protocols you need. 
I can pick up and top off , if they fit in my Honda ;) 
Happy to go to preferred parks or beaches areas for extended outdoor time. 
Leash rules respected. Dietary supplements and raw diet specifics administered as required. 
Please feel free to ask questions .

Hi, I’m Ashley— a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes! I grew up in a dog-loving household and have been a dedicated pet parent to my own sweet cockapoo for the past 8 years.

Since 2018, I’ve been providing dog walking, boarding, and sitting services with a focus on creating a safe, force free, fun, and cozy home-away-from-home for your dog. I understand how tough it can be to leave your pup — that’s why I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re cuddling on the couch, heading to the park, or playing tug-of-war, your dog will be loved, entertained, and cared for as if they were my own.

Why choose me?
•Home full-time (daytime and weekends)
•Rarely gone more than 4 hours at a time and I always monitor pups via webcam if I step out
•Dog-friendly environment in Midtown Toronto with access to several dog parks and walking areas
•Friendly resident cockapoo who loves new playmates
•Flexible scheduling and open communication
•Trusted by regular, returning clients since 2018

Whether your pup loves long walks, cozy naps, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make them feel right at home. I can’t wait to meet your dog!!&nbsp;

Hi, my name is Ilya!
I'm excited to introduce myself as your go-to pet sitter, and I can't wait to pamper your furry friends. With over 35 years of experience caring for pets, I've decided to turn my passion into a fulfilling retirement gig.
My wife and I reside in a spacious detached home with a fenced backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. We share our home with a friendly 10-year-old rescue dog named Bim, who gets along famously with other canine companions.
I offer a range of services, including doggy daycare, dog boarding, home visits and dog walking. However, please bear in mind that I prefer not to work with dogs who are strong pullers to prevent any unnecessary strain.
For the well-being of all our guests, I only accept vaccinated and spayed/neutered pets. Rest assured, your pets will always have company. My wife works from home, meaning we are practically always available to shower your pets with the love and attention they deserve.
To ensure a perfect match, I follow Pawshake's policy of scheduling a meet and greet with you and your pet. During their stay, I'll be happy to keep you connected with updates, pictures, and videos, so you'll always have peace of mind!
Think of me as the spoiling grandpa your pet will love to come back and visit. Let's make your pet's stay exceptional - Looking forward to hearing from you!Ps: I speak English, Russian and Hebrew :)&nbsp;


I am a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. My 13-year-old daughter and I both adore dogs, and we are always happy to welcome them into our home as part of our family. We create a warm, calm, and safe environment where every dog can feel relaxed, comfortable, and secure during their stay.

With a gentle and attentive approach, I carefully observe each dog’s individual needs and personality. I provide plenty of affection, playtime, supervision, and daily care to ensure they feel loved and supported. We enjoy going for walks, spending time outdoors, and maintaining a peaceful routine that helps dogs feel happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

I understand how important trust and clear communication are when choosing a pet sitter. That is why I send regular updates, photos, and messages to keep pet owners informed and reassured. For the safety and well-being of all pets in our home, we only accept dogs that are fully vaccinated.

I've taken care of dogs of every kind most of my life, and I love all animals. I will be able to walk, feed, play with, bathe, your pets and even administer medication(s) if required. I will treat your pup(s) friend like a family member as if they were my own. There are lovely parks in the area and I also have a car to take them to off leash parks in the area. Over the years I have I also volunteered with various rescue organizations and I have taken care of many dogs for both family and friends.&nbsp;
I have an open home, and accept dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and ages, and don't have a dog in my home at present, (which is ideal for dogs that may require solo care).  There are lots of parks in the area and paths we can walk through together, and lots of other pups in the area to play with, (if your pup is good with other dogs).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pups are allowed on my furniture and I encourage it.  I do however, go by your pup's program, schedule and what you wish.  They will be walked every 3-4 hours and also they will be fed based on their current schedule. As I am alone in my apartment, I am able to devote all my time on your pup. The longest I would ever be out of my home is 2 hours however, because I am primarily home, that won't be very frequently.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have a one bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor. I do not have any plants only artificial which are out of reach. I have a very dog friendly apartment.  The building is very dog friendly.  I also have an elevator in case your pup doesn't like stairs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have a balcony which has artificial grass and also I have places for your pup to sit and enjoy a little sunbathing. I will never leave your pup unattended on the balcony.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Before I accept any dog, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet, so make sure we all get along, and so if you think I might be a great fit, please contact me, and let's have a chat!&nbsp;

Fresh water is available at all timesDogs that I sit/walk:- Size isn't much of a determinant as long as I can handle him/her and am able to keep them safe. For very large/heavy dogs they need to walk good on the leash and be calm indoor- Non aggressive (real aggression issues)- Potty trained (I can take them out every 2 hours if needed)Walks and Drop-ins location: Max distance of 1km from Yonge &amp; Lawrence&nbsp;House sitting: Max distance 20km from Yonge &amp; LawrenceMy schedule:I work from home Tue-Fri 9am-5pm (office on Mondays) and I have flexibility to take breaks during the day. Weekday evenings and weekends are my free time, which I love to spend with furry companions giving them extra love and attention.&nbsp;I also provide evening daycare (~5-11pm~)


I have always had a deep love for animals, and becoming a pet sitter is a natural way for me to care for them while helping owners feel at ease when they are away. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and comforting environment where each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

I live near Sunnybrook Park, which is perfect for enjoyable walks in a beautiful, pet-friendly area. I am happy to welcome pets into my home for boarding or daycare, and I can also travel to your home for drop-in visits or walks, depending on what works best for you and your pet.

I have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, as well as taking care of my own dog back home. These experiences have taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each animal’s unique personality and needs.

Walks are a minimum of 30 minutes and can be adjusted depending on your pet’s energy level and preferences. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. During evenings and weekends, I have more flexibility to spend extended time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company.

During home visits, I can also take care of small household tasks such as watering plants, airing out rooms, collecting mail, and providing general home supervision for your peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, and I can arrange visits based on my availability and your pet’s needs.

For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I prefer to care for vaccinated animals. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can trust me to provide them with the attention, affection, and loving care they deserve.
