Dog Sitting in Markham

About: Hello! I’m Seray! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for a very long time. Although I possess years of experience and skill taking care of cats, I work at a shelter where I deal with all types of dogs. I bring lots of medical and training knowledge as a supervisor at an animal shelter. If you need someone to administer medication to your animal, keep them company, walk them or train your new pet, I will be glad to help! On my days off (usually weekdays) or when I am back from work; I’m glad to provide care for your pets. Usually early mornings or late evenings, feel free to message me for other times. I always recommend crate training to dog owners and a safe space for cats to frequent in emergency situations. Training your pet to gather at a muster point is so beneficial. I always pet proof and remove garbage, food and chemicals away from surfaces they can access. I also avoid giving dogs bones without supervision as it can cause choking or dental fractures. I always keep the door closed and am very careful with door routine. I always provide a detailed report of the walk at the end of the shift in addition to stool score and medical concerns.

About: Being raised around dogs, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My goal with Rover is to support families by offering reliable and loving care for their dogs. Whether it’s following a specific diet, maintaining a routine, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and safe, I’m here to make the experience stress-free for both you and your furry friend. Your pet's needs are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I provide pet care from my spacious home, complete with a fully enclosed backyard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, secure environment with plenty of room to move around both indoors and outside. I’m available anytime, allowing me to give your pup consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether you need morning, afternoon, or evening support, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule. My goal is to stay flexible while ensuring your dog receives attentive, high-quality care in a safe and loving home. I provide pet care from my home located in a pet-friendly, walkable neighbourhood with plenty of nearby green space for daily walks, playtime, and exercise. I live with my parents and our two friendly Labradoodles, so your pup will be in a warm, social environment surrounded by people who truly love dogs. With my experience caring for dogs and understanding their unique needs, I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and never alone. Whether it’s afternoon cuddles, outdoor playtime, or relaxing evenings, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet mom of 5 cats and 2 dogs, and I truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality. I’ve cared for shy, anxious, playful, and high-energy pets, including those who need extra patience and gentle handling. One of my cats is very sensitive and requires special care, so I’m very comfortable working with pets that may take time to warm up. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I always respect each pet’s pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter care, or just quiet companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs. I also enjoy long walks and staying active, so I’m happy to provide quality time and exercise for dogs as well. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I also travel occasionally, but I always keep my calendar updated so you can book with confidence. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I create a calm and stress-free environment, especially for shy or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: My name is Hay, and I’m a reliable and caring house sitter and pet companion who offers one-on-one care in your pet’s home—where they’re most comfortable. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and homes, and I treat each one with the love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I can fully focus on your furry family members while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat just needs a cozy companion, I’ll do my best to keep them safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own routine. You can expect daily photo/video updates, a clean and respectful presence in your home, and careful attention to meals, walks, litter boxes, medication if needed, and any special instructions. I work full-time with a hybrid schedule and usually only go into the office one day per week, on Thursdays. For house sitting bookings, I can walk your dog before work, during lunch breaks on most days, and in the evenings. I will do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine and schedule. For house sitting, I will stay in your home and care for your pet(s) in their familiar environment. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and house rules. I can also follow your regular walking routes and keep your home tidy and secure.

About: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.

“Christy was absolutely amazing! She followed every single instruction very carefully and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She took such great care of my cat and was very attentive and responsible throughout. I could tell my cat was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciate her effort and kindness — I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Your cat will have their own little cozy world here!

About: Ever since I was a little girl I was obsessed and when I mean obsessed I was OBSESSED with animals, more specifically dogs. I would spend my summers volunteering at the OSCPA, I would babysit my neighbours cats and dogs, and try everything in my power to get my parents to get me a dog of my own! When I was 11 I was attacked by a dog and when getting stitched up the only thing I wanted for being so brave was “my own puppy” fast forward two months later and my best friend came into the picture. I have a 13 year old australian labrador who truly is my side kick and best friend. When I was 20 I also fostered a dog from Texas who had been neglected and abused. He found his forever home with the help of me. My love for animals is really true. I hope you know I would do the same for your furry friend. Anytime Anyday works for me. I currently am at home doing school so whatever time you need I will 100% be able to accommodate to you! With my own doggy I would treat yours the same as mine. With love, kindness, silliness, and most importantly keep them safe and well and healthy!

About: 🐾 Animal Experience I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. In my home country, I was actively involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need, helping them recover, rehabilitate, and find safety and comfort again. Through this experience, I have learned how to handle animals with different temperaments, ages, and emotional needs, from shy and anxious pets to very active and social ones. I developed a strong sense of patience, observation, and calm energy when working with animals. This long-term experience has given me the ability to quickly understand each pet’s behavior and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As I am home full-time, I can adapt my daily routine to each dog's individual needs, providing constant companionship, supervision, and personalized care throughout their stay. Mornings: We start the day with a safe, supervised walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some time to settle in comfortably. During the day: I stay home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. They enjoy supervised playtime in our fully fenced private backyard, along with plenty of indoor companionship, relaxation, and personalized attention. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their usual routine. Afternoons and evenings: We go for a second walk to help them burn energy and maintain a balanced routine. Afterward, they can relax and enjoy family time indoors. I also send daily photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and have peace of mind while they are away. My Home & Care Policy To provide a safe, calm, and stress-free environment, I only accept dogs. My home features a fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision. We are a quiet, family-oriented household with a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. My husband is a veterinarian, which reflects our family's love and respect for animals; however, I am the primary caregiver and personally responsible for the daily care and attention of every dog in my home. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where pets are never left unattended and always feel protected and cared for. Trust is built through consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort levels so they feel secure and relaxed during their stay. I also offer a clean, smoke-free, and environmentally friendly home with access to a private fenced green yard and nearby parks. This allows pets to enjoy fresh air, nature, and safe outdoor stimulation in a controlled and responsible way. My goal is to create a peaceful balance between safety, trust, and a healthy environment where pets can feel at home, calm, and happy.

About: I have dog sitting experience for family and friends, and have animal shelter experience helping cats, dogs, and other small animals. I’ll do my best to care for your pets! I currently have very flexible availability and would be happy to find a schedule that conveniently works best for both you, me and your pet! I’m happy to respect the needs and concerns you have for your pet and any routines you lay out in terms of how to best care for your companions.

About: I’ve been the owner of the cutest cockapoo for 5 years now. I’ve always been passionate about dogs ever since I was a girl, and I’m excited to meet new dogs. I’m always offering my friends and family to pet sit their dogs for free! I’m a student who studies from home, so my schedule is relatively free. I’m the primary caregiver to my own dog, and keep very strict schedules when it comes to her feeding, walking, eating, etc. We have two houses right beside each other with large backyards and a cutout in the middle, resulting in 1 extra large backyard. My dog runs around in both, and so will any additional fur babies.

About: Hi! My name is Monique. I bring genuine love, patience, and connection to every animal I care for. Animals are more than pets, they’re family. I treat the ones I care for with the same respect, attention, and affection I would my own. I am trained in dog CPR and First Aid, which gives owners added peace of mind knowing their pet is in safe and capable hands. I also grew up with a beautiful black and brown male Doberman Pinscher named Ninja. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attentive care. My experience started young, caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets, and I’ve always loved being around animals. Ninja regularly had playdates with other dogs, which helped me learn even more about socialization, behavior, and how different dogs interact. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks, reinforcing positive habits, and keeping them active through walks, play, and mental stimulation. My favorite games to play with dogs are hide and seek and fetch. I also love to see how happy they get when they hear the word "walk". The excitement is very adorable and in return brings me great joy. I don't currently own a dog, but I’m happy to regularly help care for two beloved family dogs who visit on weekends. A sweet female senior Shih Tzu and an energetic six-year-old female Giant Schnauzer. I treat them like my own, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me valuable hands on experience. From providing gentle attention and comfort to senior pets to keeping active dogs engaged and happy, I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves loving, reliable care. I am available full time for your pet. Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate different care needs as required. Pets in my care are provided with a safe, structured, and attentive environment. I provide trustworthy care and make sure every walk and visit is safe, positive, and stress free. I can also care for pets in your home, following all instructions and specific needs you provide.

About: Dogs are family! They deserve long walks, belly rubs and play time. I can provide your dog with walks, runs, fun play time or whatever he/she likes when you leave them with me. I love taking long walks and enjoying nature so I believe your dog will love taking walks with me. Also, I make time for relaxing so if your dog does not like being outside, I can plan fun indoor activities for them to enjoy. Putting fun aside, I am a responsible young adult who sees safety as very important when dog sitting. Therefore, I will take every measure to ensure that each dog under my supervision will always be in my sight and out of harms way. Overall, I am very passionate and loving towards dogs. Detailed Availability: P.S. I grew up around dogs ever since I was born. Some breeds that I have taken care of are Shih tzus, Pomeranian mixes, Rottweilers, Pit bulls and German Sheppards.

About: I've been boarding dogs in my home for over a year, welcoming everything from gentle giants like Samoyeds, Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, and Cane Corsos to sweet little Shih Tzus, Malteses, and Miniature Poodles. Big or small, every dog gets the same warmth, attention, and care — my home is their home. I also have experience with cat drop-in visits, stopping by to feed, play, and tidy up so your cat stays happy and comfortable in their own familiar space. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love all kinds of animals and take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a university student who studies from home. Most days I'm around the house, which means your pet always has company and attention throughout the day. My only full days away are Tuesdays and Fridays, when I have on-campus lectures from around 8 AM to 6 PM, but the house is never left empty. My household members are experienced with pets and are always home to ensure your furry friend is looked after, comfortable, and never alone. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have morning lectures, so I'm back home around 3 PM. Thursdays and weekends I'm completely free and fully available. My home is a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment for pets of all sizes. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy with peace of mind. I also share my home with a friendly cat, when boarding larger dogs she's completely comfortable keeping to herself upstairs, so there's no stress for either animal. Most importantly, I believe every pet thrives best when their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, walking habits, house rules, or any other preferences you have. Whatever helps your pet feel at home.

About: I specialize in caring for friendly, calm, and well-mannered dogs in a quiet home environment and beautiful, low traffic neighborhoods. We don’t have pet and your pet will be the ONLY VIP guest in my home. No stress from other dogs, 100% focused attention. My approach is built on reliability and structure: • Routine Consistency: We strictly follow your feeding schedules, and potty breaks to minimize anxiety and house training accidents. • Safety First: Walks are always leash-secure and planned around quieter, low-traffic routes in our immediate neighborhood. My priority is preventing incidents, not reacting to them. • Clear Communication: You will receive detailed photo and written updates daily, covering their mood, appetite, and activity level. I’m a part-time graduate student. So I’m home most of the time. I also have a car and can drive to places needed. Here are the key blocks: • Mornings (7-1 PM): Structured walk, meal prep, and supervised rest during my focus work/study hours. • Afternoons (1-5 PM): Potty breaks, and active companionship from my partner and me. • Evenings (5 PM On): Dinner, a longer structured walk, and quiet wind-down time before bed. In short: Your dog receives attentive care. Consistency and safety are our priorities. Me and my partner live in a house without pets. Unlike sitters who manage multiple dogs from different homes, I limit bookings to one family's pet at a time, ensuring 100% focused attention and minimizing external unsafe factors. Although I have a backyard, for maximum safety and security, I do NOT leave dogs unsupervised in the backyard. All outdoor time consists of active, leashed walks in our beautiful, quiet neighborhood. This ensures zero risk of escape and keeps your pup clean and safe.

“We met with Mark and Charro for a meet up so he could be introduced to Iggy. He was so patient with Iggy and understanding of his needs. Our second meeting was at a dog park with Charro to help Iggy with socialization with other dogs. Mark is more than happy to discuss methods for training and he provided videos to further help us with Iggy's behavioral issues. Thanks again for everything!”
