When people start looking for pet care in Canada, Rover is often one of the first names that comes up. It operates in Canada and offers pet care services in many areas, including boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. While it may be a familiar option, availability is only one part of choosing a pet care platform.
Pet parents and sitters also have to think about fees, sitter earnings, booking support, protection options, and how clear the experience feels from start to finish. Hello Marshy is a Canadian pet care platform built to give pet parents and sitters another option. We help pet parents find local sitters, dog walkers, pet boarders, and care providers, while giving sitters a clearer way to offer their services and earn money with pets.
Meet Hello Marshy
Hello Marshy is launching first in the Greater Toronto Area and was built to make pet care feel simpler, safer, and more supportive. Pet parents can use Hello Marshy to find local people offering pet boarding, house sitting, pet daycare, drop-in visits, walks and exercise, and pet taxi.
Whether you need overnight care, a daytime check-in, regular walks, or transportation to an appointment, Hello Marshy gives you one place to find and book local pet care. The platform is also built for pets of all kinds, not just dogs. Pet parents can look for care for cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small animals, and other companions too, because every companion matters.
Built in Canada, With Sitters in Mind
Hello Marshy was created in Canada by Maha Ali and Behroz Saadat, a husband-and-wife team inspired by their own experience fostering and caring for pets. Before starting Hello Marshy, Maha also worked as a pet sitter herself, which helped shape the way the platform was built.
That experience is part of why Hello Marshy is built with sitters in mind. We believe great pet care starts with supported sitters. When sitters feel respected, fairly paid, and in control of how they work, they are better able to provide reliable and thoughtful care for pets. That belief is at the heart of Hello Marshy as we build a platform for pet parents, sitters, and pets of all kinds.
Why Pet Sitters in Canada Are Looking for More Options
Many pet sitters in Canada use a mix of Facebook groups, word of mouth, marketplace posts, and pet care apps to find clients. These options can help, although they are not always enough on their own. Social media can feel informal, and pet parents may want to see more before they book.
A dedicated profile with services, rates, experience, availability, and booking details can make the process feel more trustworthy and organized. Larger pet care platforms can also help sitters get discovered, although fees and control over earnings matter. Hello Marshy gives sitters another way to be found by pet parents looking for local care, while giving them more choice in how they offer their services.
How Hello Marshy Works for Sitters
Sitters on Hello Marshy can join for free, create a profile, and choose the services they want to offer. This can include pet boarding, house sitting, pet daycare, drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet taxi. Sitters set their own rates and choose the pricing option that works best for them.
With the free plan, sitters pay a 12% service fee only on completed bookings. With an optional membership, sitters keep 100% of their booking earnings. This gives sitters flexibility based on how often they book. If you only take occasional bookings, the free plan may be a good fit. If you book more often and prefer predictable costs, the membership option may make more sense.
How Hello Marshy Works for Pet Parents
For pet parents, Hello Marshy makes it easier to find local care in one place. You can view sitter profiles, compare services and rates, message sitters with questions, and book through the platform.
Hello Marshy also keeps pricing clear. Pet parents do not pay extra Hello Marshy platform service fees. You pay the sitter's listed rate plus standard card processing fees, which makes the total easier to understand before you book.
Pet Care Services You Can Find on Hello Marshy
Hello Marshy supports a range of pet care services, so pet parents can choose the type of care that works best for their pet, their schedule, and their home.
- Pet boarding for overnight care in the sitter's home.
- House sitting for care in the pet parent's home.
- Pet daycare for daytime care in a sitter's home.
- Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter changes, potty breaks, playtime, medication reminders, or simple check-ins.
- Walks and exercise for movement, outdoor time, and enrichment.
- Pet taxi for transportation to the vet, groomer, daycare, or other appointments.
Hello Marshy is built for more than just dogs. Pet parents can look for care for cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small animals, and other companions too. Whether your pet needs overnight care, a quick visit, a ride to an appointment, or regular walks and exercise, Hello Marshy helps you find local care that fits.
Why Book Through a Pet Care Platform?
Finding a sitter through Facebook groups, referrals, or casual posts can work, but it can also leave important details scattered across messages. Booking through a pet care platform gives both pet parents and sitters a clearer process, with services, dates, pricing, communication, and booking details easier to track in one place.
With Hello Marshy, pet parents can view a sitter's profile, see their services and rates, ask questions before booking, and book through a platform with support available if something comes up. This can make the experience feel more trustworthy and organized than relying only on informal messages.
For sitters, Hello Marshy gives you a more professional way to share your services, manage booking details, and give pet parents more confidence before they book. Pet parents can also add optional Marshy Cares booking protection on eligible bookings, giving them an added layer of peace of mind when booking care for their pet.
Support and Optional Booking Protection
Pet care is personal, and trust matters. Hello Marshy helps create a clearer booking experience for both pet parents and sitters by keeping important details in one place. Instead of handling everything through scattered messages, both sides have a clearer record of the booking and support available when needed.
Pet parents can also add optional Marshy Cares booking protection for extra peace of mind on eligible bookings. It is designed to provide added support if something unexpected happens during a booking.

Whether you offer pet boarding, house sitting, pet daycare, drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet taxi, joining early helps you get listed as the platform grows.
We are starting local because strong pet care communities are built on trust, real connections, and care that feels personal. As Hello Marshy grows, our goal is to help more Canadian pet parents find thoughtful care for pets of all kinds, while helping more sitters build their pet care services in a way that feels fair, supported, and transparent.
