Pet Sitters in Toronto
Verified pet sitters in Toronto for boarding, walks, doggy daycare, and home visits.
Pet Sitters in Toronto
Pet sitters in Toronto cover the full range of care a household might need across the year, including overnight boarding when you travel, daytime doggy daycare during the work week, dog walks for active breeds, drop-in visits for cats and small pets, and pet taxi rides for vet or grooming appointments. Sitters on Hello Marshy live across Toronto neighborhoods like Downtown, The Beaches, and High Park and pass identity verification and a Canadian criminal record check before they appear in search.
You can browse sitters near Leslieville, Riverdale, and Yorkville, read verified reviews from other Toronto pet parents, and open each profile to see exactly which species, sizes, and age ranges that sitter is comfortable caring for. Every sitter sets their own service list, home rules, and rates, so the profile you book is the profile you get. Use a free meet and greet to see the home, the yard, and the sitter in person before any booking is confirmed.
Why Toronto pet parents choose Hello Marshy
Toronto stretches roughly 630 square kilometres around the Lake Ontario waterfront and the ravine network that runs through the city. Sitters based in The Beaches and High Park can reach most addresses across the city inside half an hour outside rush hour, while Leslieville tend to draw sitters who prefer detached homes with yards. The mix of high-rise and low-rise housing in Toronto means you will find sitters who specialize in apartment pets, sitters who offer fenced backyards, and sitters who run small daytime groups, all in the same search.
Demand peaks in Toronto during summer long weekends, winter holidays, and March break, so booking two to three weeks ahead during those windows is wise. Outside peak periods, most sitters can accommodate same-week bookings. Households along Toronto Transit Commission corridors often look for sitters within walking or quick transit distance, while those closer to High Park tend to prioritise sitters with backyard access for active dogs. Many regular pet parents build a short list of two or three preferred sitters across Toronto so they have options when their first choice is already booked.
Pet Sitter pricing in Toronto
Pet sitting rates in Toronto vary by sitter experience, the service booked, pet size, and the season. Holiday weeks tend to command a premium across overnight services, and walks or doggy daycare may carry weekend or evening surcharges set by the sitter. The rates shown are set by each sitter. Hello Marshy charges pet parents 0% booking and payment-processing fees, so no mandatory platform fee is added at checkout, and the full breakdown is visible before you book.
Frequently asked questions
Are sitters on Hello Marshy verified?
Yes. Every sitter must complete identity verification through a trusted third-party verification provider before their profile can appear in search or accept bookings.
Sitters on a paid Monthly or Yearly plan also complete a Canadian criminal record check through Certn, our background-check partner.
Pet parents can leave a public review only after completing a booking through Hello Marshy, so every review comes from a real booking.
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.
