When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in The Danforth that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from The Danforth to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in The Danforth. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in The Danforth. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in The Danforth.

I have had a dog for 11 years and I have always taken very good care of him, I have a very good relationship with pets, not only with my dog but also with the dogs of my friends and family. I really like to care for and protect pets. I am a person who really likes to walk since it is a form of relaxation for me and it is much more enjoyable in the company of your pet. I will always be with the best attitude and affection to take care of your pet as if it were my own, since I know how important pets are in every home. I am an international student, I come from Colombia and I will be here in Toronto for 2 years and I would like to be able to take care of your pet when you require it, for this reason I would like you to give me the opportunity. to take care of your pets. Pets are the best company for people and they are a fundamental part of the family, so I know that you should always have the best treatment and the best quality of service and I hope you consider my profile as the right one to be able to provide the services you needs. I offer walking service for your pets for as long as necessary, I can also take care of your pets at home if you go on a trip or have a meeting. I also offer a service to go feed your pets when you are not at home. I can give medicines orally to your pets if necessary.

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'm Andrew. I grew up in Toronto and it's where I first fell in love with pets and walking. My first experiences involved walking our family dog, Maggie, around Leaside and down towards the Brickworks via the Don Valley Ravine. Since then, I've spent as much time as possible outside.
I adopted my first two cats (Twinston &amp; Lotus) in 2018 and recently adopted a third rescue, Tuna. My girlfriend has a dog, Roxy, and for the first time in my life I get to spend my days with both cats and dogs. I'm very grateful to them for the time we get to spend outdoors walking and also cuddling on the couch. They remind me to be patient, happy, and to live in the moment. 
I love walks of all distances in all seasons (sun, rain, snow, wind-- I'm ready!) and feel this is a great way where I can blend my love of animals and walking outside. When not walking, I'm ready to play fetch, work with your pet on tricks and cuddle. 
I'm available to walk, feed, and cuddle your pets! Flexible with home visit length and can water plants bring in mail and more. I have full weekday availability and occasional weekend availability. Dog walk lengths are also flexible.
Let's chat! I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! 

As an avid dog lover, I grew up with a border collie (Bingo) and a golden retriever (Sunny), taking them on daily walks, taking care of them, and most enjoyably, playing frisbee with them. During the first year of COVID, I fostered a rescue dog Samantha and cared for her post spay surgery, provided daily exercise (and she needed a lot!), and trained her for 4 months until she found her furever home. Since then, I have dog-sat for and walked many pups of friends and acquaintances (see photos of my many furry friends!).
My experience means I know the importance of a good dog lifestyle and how vital it is that dogs get the exercise, attention, and affection they need to be happy. I’m looking to fill my downtime with some dog love as I’m a big fan of all types of dogs and have lots of love and energy to provide. I live downtown in Toronto on the east end and am flexible in where I can meet. I'm currently awaiting a new full time job start in September, and have a ton of open availability during the weekdays. I'm typically a morning person and would be able to care for pets between 9am and 4pm with some flexibility.
Please let me know if you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer and chat.

Hi there! My name's Santiago and I'm currently working in downtown Toronto. I live with one roommate and sadly my dog lives with my parents back home, so I figured I will give Pawshake a try :)
I enjoy meeting people and their pets, and this seems like a great way to hang out with animals while helping me to find some additional work outside of my job. About myself, I graduated from university here a few years ago after moving from Colombia. My close friend, Pepe the cocker spaniel, is back there with my family. Being highly active myself, I love going for long walks and checking out new places in the city. I'm sure your dog will enjoy exploring the outdoors with me and being my exercise buddy. 
I'm also open to hosting animals in my apartment. I have quite a bit of space and a lot of natural lighting. Overnight visits are fine, as I work from home most days and can wake up early for walks. There are no other pets living in the apartment, so your pet's safety is promised. I prefer to sit only pets that are potty-trained (so if your cat can use a litter box or if your dog isn't prone to accidents, then great!) pets that are vaccinated are also preferable and if they get along with other animals (this is so that walks are safe). 
I also offer drop in visits and will make sure to timely respond to inquiries about your loved ones :) if you need any other services while you are away, for example, watering plants or doing some light clean up, I'm perfectly fine with this too. 
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a big living room and a balcony, with most of room for a dog to walk around. Don River Valley Park is a walk away from my house, a perfect spot to run and even meet some furry friends for any dog. I'm in Toronto year round so if we are a good fit, I'd be happy to pet sit again for you in the future!
