A trusted sitter stays at your home in Markham while you are away.
House sitting in Markham lets your pets stay in the home they know best while a vetted sitter moves in, follows their normal routine, and keeps the household running. Pets that do better with their own bed, their own yard, and their own feeding schedule often settle more easily than they would in a new home, which matters for senior pets, shy cats, and multi-pet households in areas like Unionville, Cornell, and Cathedraltown.
Markham sitters who offer house sitting can feed, walk, and medicate your pets, and they often handle small household tasks such as plant watering, collecting mail, rotating lights, and taking out the bins. Neighborhoods from Berczy Village, Wismer, and Markham Village all the way to the eastern and western ends of the city are covered by sitters on the platform, so you can filter by distance from home and pick someone who can drive in or transit to your address quickly.

Markham spans roughly 213 square kilometres, and traffic patterns differ sharply between neighborhoods. A sitter based in Cornell can reach most addresses in Cathedraltown and Berczy Village inside half an hour outside rush hour, while cross-city trips at peak times take considerably longer. When you book, consider travel time, parking realities for weekly visits, and whether the sitter can arrive before your departure for a short walkthrough of feeding areas, medication, and any alarm or building entry details.
House sitting rates in Markham usually price per night, with additional fees for multi-pet households, medication routines, or extended daytime stays. Many sitters show a small additional-pet rate for second and third animals, and some adjust weekly pricing for longer trips. You see the full breakdown and processing fees on the checkout screen, and Marshy Cares booking protection is available as an optional add-on for extra peace of mind on longer stays.
Yes. Every sitter who offers services on Hello Marshy must complete a two step verification before their profile can appear in search or accept bookings. Step one is identity verification using a government issued photo ID matched to a live selfie. Step two is a Canadian criminal record check run through a licensed background screening partner.
The verification fee is a one time payment at checkout, not a recurring charge, and it covers the cost of running the background check with the screening provider. The fee amount is shown before you pay.
Experienced sitters who already have a proven record on Rover or Wag can skip the verification fee by linking their existing profile so the Hello Marshy team can review their history. After bookings on the platform, pet parents can also leave public reviews, and those reviews come only from real completed bookings rather than from anonymous visitors.
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.
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.
