Top cities for house sitting in Canada

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Markham home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Markham.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Markham home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hi there, I'm Ellie.
I am an easy-breezy friend to your best friend.
I grew up with lots of stray dogs and cats surrounding me and always made it my mission to take care of them. My family and I had to move a lot, so my parents never let me keep any pets. So I fed and took care of the surrounding strays all the time. Then I started house sitting for my friends' dogs and cats when they were out of town. I occasionally house at a golden (Pari), a Scottish (Lucy) and a Dalmatian (Puffy).
Two years ago, I rescued Sneezy. She sneezed a lot, so I named her Sneezy. Poor thing had many infections that we had to battle with, but she's all better now due to constant care and determination. Now she lives with my parents back in Türkiye while I do my masters here.
I am a soothing company for your baby in difficult/stressful situations. I took my baby kitty to the vet a thousand times (she hates going outside). Although I don't own a car, so don't look at me for a vet visit that requires a car ride .
I am very aware that your fur babies are the center of your world, and I am more than happy to be in their presence. I will do my best to connect with them and take care of them; watching them and updating you with pictures and videos while you are away. 
For now, I am offering dog walking, home visits and homesitting. I live in Davisville and can commute around downtown. I offer flexible scheduling. Reach out to me!


Hi! I'm Steven, and I'm an Canadian citizen that speaks fluent English and Chinese (mandarin)&nbsp;I'm sitting as a board member of MuttStock, a non-profit providing accessible spay and neuter programs to reduce overpopulation for dogs in underserved communities, I've donated my time in organizing events reaching 7,000+ attendees and media coverage, urgently remaking Muttstock's website in one week, and emailing 2000+ dog lovers in our newsletters. This board position has taught me the responsibility that comes with sporadic timings and the importance of absolute patience during the toughest times.&nbsp;I also owned a cute 8yrs old Corgi back in Alberta, making it together through the toughest winters and hottest summers there. (It's really cold!)What sets me apart:&nbsp;- Someone actively working to improve animal lives- Successfully led a team of 19 people in Junior Achievements and managed complex community projects reaching 8 figures valuation.&nbsp;- Flexible schedule - Studying in York U.&nbsp;- Follows orders

My own pets have included a sweet and hilarious Yorkie named Sunny; a stray turned loving cat, Lucky; and a rescue cockateel aptly named Cheeky, who needed patience, love and gentleness. I have also looked after dogs and cats for family. AJ, a rescue tuxedo cat, is a playful escape artist. Going in and outof the house means remembering to carefully watch for where AJ is. Dickens, is a large energetic shepherd mix that likes long walks. Dickens lives in an apartment building, so I understand the importance of being aware of the surroundings and keeping the dog close and safe in crowded areas like elevators and lobbies.




Hi! I’m Devanshi, a 23-year-old student at Humber Polytechnic with a deep love for animals and a natural sense of responsibility. Growing up in a big family, I was always surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, and even the occasional rabbit! I’ve always been the one trusted to feed, walk, bathe, and cuddle them, which sparked my passion for pet care.

I’m calm, patient, and deeply empathetic, which helps me bond with animals quickly. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, some energetic playtime, or just a cozy companion to relax with while you’re away, I’ll be there to make them feel safe, happy, and loved.

As a student, I bring flexible hours, dependable routines, and a fresh, energetic approach to your pet’s day. I treat every pet like family and understand how important trust is when it comes to your beloved companion.

Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your pet! 

Hiii, I'm pargol, I'm 18 years old and I would love to be your pets new friend.
I love pets so much and they are one of my family, I love spending time with them and take care of them.
In my neighborhoods everyone are pet friendly and so many people have pets.
I could spend 1 hour in your home when you decide that I came to visit your pet or more if you want and how hours do you want when you are in trip, when you are in trip I could be able to water plants.
We could talk about how much time do you want me to walk your dog outside and where.
I'm full available right now.
When I was 14 I often looked after my aunt’s German Shepherd—taking him out for potty breaks and feeding her. 
I also cared for my sister’s cat for 2 years while she was at work: feeding, cleaning the litter, playing, and even trimming its nails and I was with her 12 hours daily.
 I take care of so many dogs and cats for 1 year cause I like spending time with them.
And I can't take cats and dogs to my place cause I'm living with my sisters cat but I will come to your place for take care of them and going out with them and anything else for them I would love to do.

I offer dog walking, one home visit a day, 2x home visit and house sitting for all pets! I cannot offer dog boarding or doggy day care due to my apartment rules.

I have experience caring for dogs, having provided pet-sitting services in my previous building in Brazil. I’m also a proud dog owner to the love of my life, Zuzuco, who has brought endless joy and companionship into my life. Unfortunately, my current residence doesn’t allow me to host pets, but I would be absolutely thrilled to care for your beloved furry friend! Animals are my greatest passion—they embody unconditional love, kindness, and a unique bond that I deeply cherish.

I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s taking them for walks, engaging in playful activities, or simply providing cuddles and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Nothing brings me more joy than connecting with animals and being a part of their happiness. They are the best thing on earth

I offer all services except for the ones that include pet staying in my place, as they don't allow animals in the residence that i live in.

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;

Hi there! I'm Gabriel the Pet Whisperer.
I've been taking care of pets for their owners/parents, and training them since I was a child, but am new to this website.&nbsp;
I often travel, and am now a digital nomad, so I can't responsibly have pets of my own. I'm making up for it by being of service to you and your pets.&nbsp;
I have a world class (human) mental health and communication background, and have taught at a university level. I understand animal communication, and have a knack for building trust and bonding with animals.&nbsp;
Recently, a vicious pitbull - kidnapped as a puppy and forced to fight in underground arenas, who hates men especially, and can't leave the house without trying to murder anything that moves - stepped gingerly up onto my lap and kissed my face. This is a day in the life for me.
When I'm in the city I have been helping my fellow traveling friends to house sit, and have been walking and doing basic training with puppies since elementary school with treats, eye contact, and modified clicker(-free) training and behavioural conditioning.
I do not use punishment as a discipline tactic.&nbsp;
I can brush and clip nails, manage special diets, and deliver medicine if necessary. If they are on a schedule, please have it in writing, and sent by email. I will take photos to show completion of time-sensitive activities/routines, and stay in touch about any changes or challenges.&nbsp;
If my availability shows as open, it means I'm in town, and I can stay for just about any length of time. You may have to check in with me for bookings over a month.&nbsp;
Your home is sacred and I will treat it as such:
Beyond personal hygiene and cleanliness, you can expect basic upkeep and homemaking (my mother taught me well), and if your pet takes homemade meals I am, in fact, a chef fantastique.
If you have a garden - either outdoor or indoor you can count on my green thumb and passion for plants to keep your blooming bébés alive and thriving.&nbsp;
You want to feel secure when leaving your pet in the care of someone, and I can offer you that security and peace of mind if my availability is open.&nbsp;
Also, if they don't bring in the newspaper, I will!
I will regularly update you on the status of your home and pet. If you receive mail or visitors you can count at least a daily update. Or, if you prefer to be left alone or more frequently updated, that can be arranged too.&nbsp;
I'm a digital nomad so my schedule is flexible.&nbsp;
I am fit, and can take your pooch for runs, I can and do play, occasionally for hours, and definitely multiple times a day. I don't have a driver's license, so you may want to keep that in mind if you have appointments more than a 1hr walk away, or if your appointment isn't TTC accessible.&nbsp;
WiFi is non negotiable, and the password must be photographed and sent to me before you leave for your trip because I work from home, and any details regarding your internet service provider should be available, in case the internet goes down for more than a couple days, or at least accessible to you so you can send me the details. I can also supervise home care/construction, and/or let workers in and out, document their work and attendance, but I need to know if there will be noise to prepare my workday.&nbsp;
Any expenses such as food, medicine, grooming, or appointments must be paid for/ purchased in advance, or funds must be available for me to purchase. Receipts will be collected, and any additional fees paid out of pocket will be documented and must be reimbursed. We love good karma! All bookings are done through the site, and I don't take tips.&nbsp;
I always keep at least a few days' buffer after our booking in case your flight or gets cancelled or your travel plans change for whatever reason and you need me to stay longer. Standard rates apply, but I will be amenable to sudden changes in plans unless otherwise noted. I prefer to have a local emergency contact in case I can't get a hold of you, as well as the contact of your vet, and any home or pet service providers you anticipate might be involved in you or your pet's life while you are gone - all in writing and sent by email.&nbsp;
Check my posted schedule, and please reach out to me if you have any questions.&nbsp;
I look forward to loving your pet in your stead.&nbsp;
Warmly,
Gabriel


Hi, I am Glenda and I have been an animal lover since day one. I grew up my entire life with dogs and each one was incredibly loyal and loving. Training and caring for dogs was just natural for me.
About 10 years ago, I had to put down my last dog, then having to move into a condo that did not allow dogs. So, as I look for the silver lining, I looked after all my friends’ dogs.&nbsp;
Moving into their homes and taking care of their babies while they left with peace of mind.  Allowing then to travel while knowing the care their dog would receive.
Being called the dog whisper, dogs and I gravitate to each other and I love every second of it.
Loving the outdoors and being a natural long distance walker makes it a natural addition to my life and to have your special fur baby join me, is the icing on my cake.&nbsp;
As a mature woman, with two beautiful grown children, I cherish. Working online as a life coach empowering people to live a full life and believe that to live a happy, positive life is to know what makes you shine and, for me, it’s dogs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have learned a lot through my life. Respect, understanding and compassion are the important traits in life. I take pride in gaining your and your pets’ trust and providing the best possible quality of love and attention.&nbsp;
If your pet has any special needs, please ask. I will go the extra mile to keep your pet safe, happy and comfortable while you are away.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your pets and hope to provide the best service that I can.&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hi there! I'm Dani. I'm living in Canada since last year and, as you can see, I love animals, specially dogs! I grew up surrounded by them and I'm really happy to say that, because It was the closest experience to friendship and love I could live when I was still a toddler. Since that, me and my family always had animals in our home. Now, I have Luke, my sausage dog that I love so much, that is living currently with my parents, where he has more space. I don't have space in my place to receive, but I can walk with and visit your dogs/pets to take care of them if you need to work outside or travel, as if they were mine. i’m available everyday and here in Toronto GTA. If you need some help, please don't hesitate to contact me here, I'll be happy to Connect! I offer visits and can walking your pet for you.&nbsp;
