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.

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 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 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.

Hello! My name is Parisa. I've been a reliable caregiver for friends and family ensuring their pets receive top care service including feeding, walking, and playing with them. I understand the importance of following the owners' instructions meticulously like sticking to the pets' feeding schedules. Every interaction with pets is a joy for me. I'm dedicated to creating a safe environment for them. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you're going with someone who loves animals and is a compassionate caregiver with a wealth of experience ensuring your pet's well-being. I stay updated with regular photos and videos alleviating concerns about their beloved pet's well-being.
I'm flexible and have availability throughout the week and the weekends, however, I'm a student and have class at certain hours throughout the week. Thursdays and Tuesdays are the only exceptions that I won't be able to(8 am- 11 am). I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet. The safety, comfort, and happiness of your pet are my primary priorities. I promise to give your dog the attention and affection they deserve.
I will love and care for your dogs/cats like they're my own family. Let me know if your doggy has any specific needs / diet I can make sure to follow their diet /needs,


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;


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.
