LinkedInAbout us
Hello Marshy is a pet care marketplace built in Canada that helps pet parents find trusted care and gives sitters a better way to grow their business.
Our story
Hello Marshy was founded by Maha Ali and Behroz Saadat, a married couple with a shared love for animals.
The idea for Hello Marshy began with Marshy, the first dog Maha ever fostered. That experience changed everything. Through caring for him, Maha discovered a deep passion for fostering animals, helping pets in need, and providing the kind of care that makes animals feel safe, loved, and understood. Marshy became more than the start of that journey. He became the heart behind it.
What began with one dog grew into something much bigger. Maha and Behroz wanted to build a platform rooted in care, trust, and compassion, while creating a better experience for both pet parents and sitters. That vision became Hello Marshy, a platform designed to help pet parents find trusted care and give sitters a more supportive way to grow their business.
Hello Marshy is currently focused on growing in Canada, but the vision is to grow far beyond that. The goal is to build a global platform that brings trusted pet care to more communities around the world, while staying true to the values that inspired it from the very beginning.

LinkedInWhy Hello Marshy is different
We believe great care starts with the people providing it. Sitters are at the heart of this experience, and when they are treated fairly, supported properly, and trusted to build real relationships with pet parents, everyone benefits, especially the pets.
That is why Hello Marshy takes a more transparent and sitter-friendly approach. Sitters keep 100% of what they earn, with no commissions or hidden fees, so they can focus on delivering reliable care.
Sitters come first
When sitters are treated well, pets get better care.
100% earnings
No commissions, no hidden fees. Sitters keep everything they earn.
Care you can feel confident about
Our goal is to make pet care easier to trust. That means open communication, clear pricing, optional protection, and vetted sitters. It gives pet parents confidence in who they book, while giving sitters a better platform to grow and do their best work.
Vetted sitters
Background checks, reviews, and verification you can count on.
All pets welcome
Dogs, cats, birds, fish, small pets, reptiles, and more.
Care that fits real life
Hello Marshy makes it easier to find trusted pet care that fits your routine. From pet boarding and house sitting to drop-in visits, walks and exercise, and pet transportation, there are flexible options to support your pet and your day to day life.
Some sitters can also help with small home tasks, like watering plants or checking in on your space, so your home feels looked after too. With care for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, fish, and more, Hello Marshy makes it easier to find reliable pet care that fits your schedule, and your pet's needs.
