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 West Hill 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 West Hill.

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 West Hill 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.

I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I started taking more of a direct role in taking care of the family dogs over the years when I was 10 years old. I have experience taking care of small, medium, and large-sized dogs from potty-trained puppies to senior cuties. I have provided dog walking, doggy daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, and house-sitting services for many family members and friends over the years.I have also 1 year of experience in taking care of cats. I have an equal love of cats and dogs in my heart to provide the best care for every pet. I have experience with taking care of single-cat and multiple-cat households ranging in age from litter-trained kittens to senior cats. I have provided drop-in and house-sitting services to many of my cat-owning friends. 
My motivation to being a pet sitter is to provide love and care to every animal I meet while keeping them as cozy and comfortable around me since I understand the strong bond between a pet and their owner.About my services:I am available to offer the following for dogs: dogwalking, overnight boarding, doggy daycare, housesitting and drop-in visits. I am available to offer the following for cats: housesitting and drop-in visits.&nbsp;For dogwalking I can take 30min to 1 hour walks 4 times a day, and can walk up to 2 dogs at once. For dog daycare and overnight boarding I can take care of 2 dogs total in my space, so one client with 2 dogs would be the max in this instance. For house-sitting and drop in visits I offer services to single animal and multiple animal households of dogs, cats and mixed (dogs and cats together). I can administer oral or ointment medications as well as basic grooming (brushing, bathing if messy).Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine very well as I work remotely so I am able to give as much attention as possible with my services and am available every day of the week morning, afternoon and evenings. I am able to supervise pets 24/7.&nbsp;I live by myself in a one-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a concrete patio space. There are multiple parks in short walking distance and green space by the apartment building for pets to use. Guest pets are allowed to sleep anywhere they may like in my care as I believe a comfy pet is a happy&nbsp;pet.During drop-in visits am able to stay with pets for about an hour or so as well as watering plants and bringing in mail. For house sitting I am able to stay in the owner's home during the entire time (with the exception of running errands to a grocery store for instance). I keep the doors locked at all times when I am in or out of the home to keep myself and the pets in my care safe.


My husband and I are an international couple who love to travel. We love dogs and pretty much any furr-baby! We both work flexible hours from home, just need our laptops to do so. Perfect for pet and house sitting opportunities, right? I also really love dog walking as it forces me away from the desk every now and again!We currently live in downtown Toronto in the St. Lawrence Market area between the market and the Distillery.
About me: Home is New Zealand where I usually spend 4-5 months a year. I am in my early 40s and have worked in travel and tourism my entire professional life. I recently became a Canadian resident. Fun fact, I'm also a Zumba instructor. :-)
About my hubby Mike: Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Mike has worked in IT most of his professional career. He's also a professional jazz trumpeter with his own band, touring the world regularly. We met in 2006 in New Zealand while Mike was on a big overseas trip. I will be dog walking / pet sitting mostly on my own. I'm just mentioning my husband in the profile for context of how I ended up here in Toroto ;-)Our lifestyle does not allow us to own pets of our own but we LOVE furry friends - especially dogs. Having recently moved back to Toronto and realizing that there is a need for dog walkers and pet sitters, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to make some new furry (and human) friends if I offer my services.
I have many years of experience as dog walker, house &amp; pet sitter - in New ZEaland, the USA and also here in Toronto. Mike grew up with dogs in his family. We are both very respectful and tidy. We don't smoke, don't party, don't have kids. We also don't have messy hobbies. We're quiet, just working during the day usually and we love exploring new areas - especially on weekends. We also love food and coffee!What I offer:- I offer to care for your pet(s) in your own home and am happy to look after small tasks around the home - like emptying the mailbox or putting bins out on the street on rubbish collection days.- I offer home visits / walks starting at 30 minutes  - which can includes feeding, cleaning litter box and spending time with your fur babies - hugs and cuddles are always included!- I am also happy to walk your dog(s) - maximum of two doogs at a time.My rate for house sitting is negotiable based on how many pets there are to look after, their requirements and how many hours per day you require me to be present. The $95 rate includes up to two dogs with flexibility for me to still attend appointments / go to the gym / go out for dinners.My dog walking / home visit service is limited to Downtown Toronto - preferrably St. Lawrence Market, Distillery, Corktown and surrounding neighbourhoods. I do not have access to a car (I do have a licence though - if you needed me to drive your pet somewhere with your own car, I can do that). For house sitting I am happy to travel a distance within the GTA and even further - just ask.Cancellation: Full refund if cancelled up to 7 days prior to the confirmed service date. 50% if cancelled up to 24 hours prior of the confirmed service date and 100% cancellation fee if cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.Please don't be shy to ask if you have any questions!I look forward to hearing from you!Cheers, Maya




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'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 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;


Being a dedicated pet enthusiast for over 6 years, I'm a proud owner of two exquisite Sphynx cats that have brought immeasurable joy and affection into my life. My journey with them has not only deepened my understanding of the intrinsic needs of pets but has also reinforced the love and care they truly deserve. In addition to my own feline companions, I've had the privilege of hosting various dogs, with some even enjoying long-term stays, allowing me to gain diverse experience in canine care.

Every pet I have the pleasure of encountering quickly occupies a special place in my heart, essentially becoming an extended member of my family. This genuine passion for animals naturally weaves into my weekly routines. My part-time weekend job offers the flexibility I need, ensuring that I have substantial time during the weekdays to indulge in delightful dog walks, playful activities, and dedicated bonding time. I'm devoted to ensuring that these furry companions receive the essential exercise and undivided attention they rightfully deserve.

In my home, the well-being of pets is paramount. My two Sphynx cats are testament to the love and comfort I provide, thriving in an environment filled with a plethora of pet toys, cozy nooks on the couch, specialized pet beds, and an array of pet-friendly plants. Ensuring their comfort, safety, and overall happiness is, and always will be, my utmost priority.

Hi! My name is Dhvani, and I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever. Growing up with dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection in keeping pets happy, safe, and well-behaved.
I provide dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Walks are typically 30–60 minutes, depending on the dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I usually walk one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same household, to ensure full attention and safety. During outdoor walks, I stay alert at all times, avoid unsafe or crowded areas when needed, use secure leashes, and closely monitor the dog’s behavior and surroundings to prevent any risk.
I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including energetic, shy, or anxious pets. I can also reinforce basic training and commands such as sit, stay, heel, and recall during walks to support good behavior and consistency.
I care for dogs, cats, and small pets, but I may not be the best fit for highly aggressive or extremely untrained dogs that may pose a safety risk during handling. I am better suited for pets that can respond to basic guidance or have manageable behavior patterns, especially during walks.
I adapt care based on each pet’s energy level providing active walks and playtime for high-energy dogs, and slower-paced, calm walks or gentle companionship for senior or low-energy pets. My home environment is clean, safe, and calm, with a pet-friendly setup designed for comfort and supervision.
I am available in the mornings through early afternoon, making me ideal for daytime care, walks, and check-ins while owners are at work or away.
In case of an emergency, I follow a clear step-by-step approach: first, I ensure the pet is in a safe position and remove them from any immediate danger. Then I assess the situation calmly, provide basic first aid if needed (only within safe limits), and contact the owner immediately with full details. If required, I will take the pet to the nearest veterinary clinic as per the owner’s instructions or emergency plan. I continue to stay with the pet until the situation is stable.
I always follow owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I treat every pet with care, respect, and responsibility, as if they were my own.

Hi! I’m Christina and I recently moved from London, UK to Toronto, ON. I’m a self-employed personal stylist with a background in marketing and brand management — and I’m a huge animal lover!
While I don’t have a pet of my own yet (my current lifestyle isn’t quite suitable for full-time pet ownership), I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had a German Shepherd and raised him from a puppy — he’ll always be my biggest love. I also adore cats and truly believe they bring such calm, comforting energy into a home.
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my enourmous love for pets. I truly believe in the importance of providing a safe environment, consistent attention, and companionship, so your beloved fur-baby feels calm and secure while you're away.&nbsp;
More recently, I’ve been caring for pets through another app, looking after both dogs and cats in their own homes. I’m calm, responsible, and very attentive to routines — I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and understood. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, walks/playtime, litter box cleaning, and keeping pets company so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, and I always treat someone’s home with care and respect.
I’m especially gentle with shy or sensitive pets, and I take safety seriously on walks and during home visits. I’d love to help you feel fully at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in caring hands.I'm available mornings and afternoons both weekdays and weekends. I only take one booking at a time to ensure your pet received my full attention and love:)
