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 Toronto 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 Toronto 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 Toronto 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.

Pluto’s Place Ajax, is like a 5 star resort for your dog! Here, you can depend on an experienced, fully insured pet sitter and dog owner. We offer a higher standard of care with a fully supervised, kennel-free home environment, which includes a large deck and fully fenced yard, for your dog to run and play in!

Our Dogs:
We have three friendly beagles (1 foster) who love the company of other dogs. Pluto is a 2 year old male, Betsy is an 8yr old female, and Tango is a 13 year old female. We enjoy daily walks by the waterfront and throughout the neighbourhood and parks as part of our regular routine.

What to Expect:
Unlike a large kennel, we run a premium, semi-private pet service. We prioritise your dog’s schedule, routine, comfort, and needs above all, and as directed by you. 

We provide safe, durable toys of all kinds that your dog may enjoy indoors and out. Inside, we have couches, blankets, and dog beds of all sizes to satisfy the comfort and preferences of all dogs! 

If your dog is particularly active, we provide regular exercise playing fetch, frisbee, and tug in our backyard, as well as daily walks around the neighbourhood, and on the waterfront trail. 

In addition to our large yard, we also have a separate, smaller yard reserved for small dogs and puppies to run and play in with dogs closer in size. Pluto makes for an ideal companion in either yard, as he is very gentle and will match his play style to the size and temperament of the dog he’s playing with. All yard play is supervised. 

For walks, we provide complimentary leash training sessions, using positive reinforcement methods, to ensure all dog may safely join us on walks and enjoy the full experience!

Throughout the day, we’ll provide picture and video updates of your dog on our Instagram account, and sent directly to you, if requested. 

We only accept 2-4 dogs at any time. All dogs are carefully vetted to make sure that they, and the pack they’ll be spending time with is a good fit based on personality, temperament, and play style. The safety and comfort of your dog is our first priority. 

We only accept all dogs who play well with others, are well trained, and who can follow basic commands. Dogs with a history of biting or aggression will not be accepted. 

Please note: For the fall and winter months, we will be accepting larger dogs (over 50lbs) on a case by case basis. Additional rates may apply, depending on their temperament, in-house manners, and activity level. (+10 for boarding, +5 for daycare). 

Daycare hours:
Our daycare rate is priced for up to 9 hrs of care, starting as early as 6am, and ending no later than 10pm. Additional hours are 7$ on a weekday, 8$ on weekends, and 10$ over holidays. 

Drop in Visits:
Please not that we charge an additional rate per additional pet, as well for appointments that are more than a 15 minute drive. 


*IMPORTANT NOTE* 
Before initiating a booking with Pluto’s Place, we kindly ask that you’re certain you’re ready to book, and willing to commit to our services. All Meet &amp; Greets will be arranged upon a confirmed booking, and are mandatory for first time clients. Our time is valuable to us. We prioritise owners who communicate and who are ready to commit to a booking in a timely manner. If consulting with other sitters, or experience a change in plans, kindly inform or cancel the request. No hard feelings! Owners who do not respond promptly will have their requests archived to keep our availability open. We prioritise those who are ready to commit.

Hi! I would be happy to take your pet for a walk or keep it. My dream is to work with dogs, so I'm confirming my knowledge (and getting new ones), studying at the K9 academy to trainer dogs. In addition to my theoretical and practical knowledge, I have been a pet sitter for many of my friends.I have experience with different breeds of dogs as well as cats.&nbsp;I consider myself a responsible person so you don't have to worry about your pet. I can sit with the pet at home, go out for a walk, feed, train, play and also send you a photo report! I hope to find my calling here as a nanny and help a lot of people with their pets.
I work full time, and I would be happy to take care of your pet on weekends. We can also discuss about weekdays after 6pm.
I also speak Russian, Ukrainian and a little bit of Polish so your pet will be comfortable.


Hi I'm Parvati (AKA Paro for short), I grew up with animals my whole life! I have a passion for pets of all sizes and kind l've rescued and taken care of doggos for about 7 years now. I have 3 pets back home and I miss them terribly. I am quick at bonding with pets and I'm sure the next time your pooch sees me, they'd be wagging non stop! I.G: pawwwro ( for more pictures ) Meet &amp; greets are welcome !
I work as an Aerospace engineer for a super cool company downtown! my work is fully remote hence I am home all day. Taking care of pets is something I'm really passionate about. I know how much time, dedication and patience a pet needs, and I won't hesitate to provide my best! I host upto 4 dogs a day , they're allowed on all furniture except kitchen counter tops and some even sleep next to me at night which i loveee! I love going on long walks and to parks. If your pooch is unvaccinated I would only be hosting them at the time.&nbsp;
&nbsp;I never leave a dog unleashed except when an owner requests me to do so and the dog has good recall. When boarding cats, I don't board dogs Being a pet parent myself, I know how attached we are to our babies so Expect many pictures and videos coming along your way when you trust me with them Requested information about your pet Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs, it will help me be more prepared to take care of your furry ball.&nbsp;



I have taken care of people's dogs, both as a Walker and house sitter. Am kind, friendly, and easily relate to dogs as well as cats. Your pet will feel loved for and cared for during the time you're away. Extremely responsible. References available upon request.I am a schoolteacher. This normally keeps me from having pets of my own as I'm gone for much of the day. However, from time to time, I take time away from teaching (like now) to work on my extracurricular pursuits and during that time pick up odd gigs. When I was younger,  before I became a schoolteacher, I would often pet sit/house sit and have been looking to do it again as I  enjoyed it very much. I am mature and dependable and your pet will most likely also think of me as enjoyable company.I am open to taking pets inside my home as well as visiting to pet sit. However, I would like to talk to you first about your situation if you want to drop your pet off. If I am boarding a dog, I will only board a maximum of two dogs, total, at any given time. I live in a two bedroom condo and am the only one living here. Since I teach high school, I will be off work this August, and perhaps also the fall (I may teach night school from home using my computer), and so will have a fair amount of time to look after animals. If you want me to visit your place and pet sit, I am open and flexible and look forward to talking to you about your needs.

I simply love spending time with animals especially dogs!
I have been sending applications for dog adoptions to humane society/ rescue dogs, unfortunately it hasn't been successful because I live alone and work outside during a day. However this doesn't stop me loving a dog, so I shift my approach to enjoy time with dogs by using this app. I don't work on Sunday, Monday and has lots of free time on those days.&nbsp;
I love spending time outside, walking/ hiking in the park. Hope I can find opportunities here to spend more time with dogs in the nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;
