Dog sitters in Vaughan are the people you turn to when your dog needs more than a quick stop at home. Whether you are travelling for the weekend, working long hours during the week, or recovering from a busy stretch where walks were rushed, a vetted dog sitter in Woodbridge, Maple, and Thornhill can step in for overnight boarding, daytime daycare, scheduled walks, or drop-in visits at your home. Every sitter on Hello Marshy passes identity verification and a Canadian criminal record check before they appear in search.

Profiles across Kleinburg, Concord, and Vellore Village make it clear which dog sizes each sitter accepts, whether they have a fenced yard, how many dogs they host at once, and whether they are comfortable with high-energy breeds, puppies, or seniors with mobility limits. You can filter by service, message a few candidates, and arrange a free meet and greet so your dog can sniff out the home and the sitter before the booking is confirmed.

Why Vaughan pet parents choose Hello Marshy

Vaughan's park and trail network, including Boyd Conservation Area, Kortright Centre for Conservation, and Bartley Smith Greenway, gives Vaughan dog walkers and boarders strong route options around the Humber River valley and the heritage villages of Kleinburg and Woodbridge. Ontario municipalities require leashes in most public spaces outside designated off-leash zones, and winters bring salted sidewalks where paw protection matters for small breeds and short-legged dogs. Experienced Vaughan dog sitters in Maple and Thornhill usually plan walk variety so dogs get mental stimulation alongside physical exercise on every visit, often working Kleinburg into the weekly rotation.

Summer heat in Vaughan pushes morning and late-evening walks ahead of midday ones, and July and August peak temperatures can make afternoon exercise unsafe for flat-faced breeds. Sitters often shift routes toward shaded sections of Boyd Conservation Area or Kortright Centre for Conservation during peak afternoons, and many carry portable water bowls for longer loops. Vaughan winters bring indoor enrichment and shorter outdoor breaks to the front of the routine, with a boot or coat routine when ice and salt make sidewalks rough.

Dog Sitter pricing in Vaughan

Dog sitting rates in Vaughan depend on the service, the sitter's experience, and your dog's size and age. Boarding tends to price per night, daycare per visit, and walks per session by duration. Many sitters offer a lower rate for recurring weekly bookings and a standard rate for one-off visits. The price posted on each profile is the rate you pay, and the checkout screen shows the rate, additional-dog charges, any weekend surcharge, and the standard payment processing fee, all visible before you confirm.

Frequently asked questions

Are sitters on Hello Marshy verified?

Yes. Every sitter who offers services on Hello Marshy must complete identity verification before their profile can appear in search or accept bookings. Sitters upload a government-issued photo ID and a selfie holding that ID, and our team reviews both before approving the sitter.

Identity verification is free. Sitters pay nothing to be verified.

Sitters on a paid Monthly or Yearly plan additionally complete a Canadian criminal record check through Certn, our background-check partner. The background check is included with the paid plan at no extra cost. After bookings on the platform, pet parents can leave public reviews, and those reviews come only from real completed bookings.

How do I find a sitter?

Enter your city and the type of care you need on the Hello Marshy homepage or search page. You can then browse nearby sitters and view photos, a short bio, the kinds of pets they care for, and starting rates for each service.

You can narrow your search by distance, service, price, pet type, and availability. When a sitter looks like a good fit, open their profile to read reviews, check their cancellation policy, and see what services they offer.

If you want to learn more, you can send a message before booking to ask questions, share your pet’s routine, or see if it feels like the right match. There is no cost or commitment to reach out. You only pay once a booking is confirmed through the platform.

Can I meet the sitter before booking?

Yes. We always recommend a meet and greet when booking with a sitter for the first time. It is a good opportunity to go over your pet’s routine, feeding, medication, behaviour, and any other important care details before the booking begins. Many Hello Marshy sitters offer meet and greets, often at no extra cost, depending on the service.

If it does not feel like the right fit, you can continue your search and message another sitter. You only pay once a booking is confirmed.
