House Sitting Richmond Hill

“Sophia was able to provide my husky that mental and physical stimulation he needs. She was great at updating me with pictures and videos while I was away to show he was having fun and in great care!”

“We can’t thank Solana enough for the incredible job she did looking after both Petunia and our home while we were away. Leaving everything behind for an extended trip can be stressful, but from the moment we met Solana, we knew we had made the right choice. She treated Petunia with so much love, patience, and care. The updates and photos she sent while we were away meant so much to us and made it easy to relax, knowing Petunia was happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of her own. When we returned home, our house was spotless and exactly as we had left it. It was clear that Solana had taken exceptional care of both our home and our beloved pup. Solana is kind, trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Petunia, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dog and house sitter. Thank you, Solana, for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be reaching out to you again in the future!”

About: I have always loved being around animals, and enjoying caring and playing with them. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks. Whether it is walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am very patient with pets who might be a bit shy, and I love taking the time to build a genuine bond with them. I am also highly detail-oriented and reliable, so I never let bad weather stop me from making sure your pet gets their exercise. I know how much you miss your furry family members when you are away. I am happy to send lots of thorough updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease. I am so grateful to have repeat clients who trust me with their pets, and I would love the chance to meet you and your furry family members too! I am a full-time professional who works from home and a part-time pet care provider. I am available on weekdays before 9 am or after 6 pm and flexible on weekends. I can also do short walks or drop-in visits around 12 pm to 1:30 pm during my lunch break on weekdays. I provide pet care exclusively at your home or outdoors, and my approach may vary based on the service you require. Please reach out with your requirements.

“Tatiana did an amazing job looking after my pup! She had taken her for walks and played a ton with her. Tatiana had sent a lot of updates and pics as well so I could be at ease while I was away from home. Tatiana was also able to move the date at the very last minute when I made a mistake. I would 100% recommend Tatiana!!”

About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.

About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.

About: I have worked with big dogs when volunteering on private farms, like Labrador and Great Pyrenees. Usually, I use leashes and short commands to let new dogs get used to my voice. I like cuddling and grooming them when they are relaxed beside me. I provide at least 2 hours of outdoor exercises, including regular walks and game time every day. I have 3 leash-free parks within a 5-minute walk from home. My home is always quiet without loud music or the radio, and no home fragrance except Adaptil / Feliway when needed. I make sure to check their skin and fur every day, and trim the nails/ give a bath when they are comfortable with me. Personally, I do not encourage chains and crates for pets unless there are safety concerns. I'm basically free to accept bookings any day during the week. I have some online program studies with a flexible schedule that suits my own preferences, so I can stay home most of the time for pet care, except for 3-4 hours away in the afternoon for a part-time babysitting job in my neighbourhood. I live in a pet-friendly & no-smoking building, a quiet community in Markham. There are more than 3 parks for dog walking within a 1km distance from home. I only do boarding for 1 pet each time for better care. If your family has 2 pets for boarding, please message me so we can discuss the details. I trained my indoor cat Bentley with a stable daily routine. He is always calm and passive with visitors, even when I'm not around. Never bites or scratches anyone. When a new pet comes to my place, I usually isolate Bentley in a different room for the first few days to establish trust between them slowly. I have my own car for commuting and a G license.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since age 9. From small ones such as birds and fish to cats and dogs. I currently own a Bengal cat, but have previously owned a cocker spaniel, Doberman, and pitbull. I have also dealt with animals that have separation anxiety. I currently work for myself so I am able to create my own schedule. I currently have a lot of free time during weekdays and some evenings. I don’t offer pet stays at my place. However, if I am in your home, just let me know the house rules and we’re good to go! :)

“I can’t say enough good things about Shima! My dog is usually very shy and cautious around new people, so I was a bit nervous about leaving her for two days, But from the moment they met, I could tell there was something special about Shima. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which is very rare. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated and made sure my dog was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. When I picked her up, she was calm, content, and clearly had bonded with her sitter. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with animals and treats them like family, I highly recommend Shima. She’s truly amazing! ❤️”

About: I’ve been the proud dog mom of a very special cocker spaniel for the past 11 years, and thanks to her, I’ve learned how much I enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with love and patience. For me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. I offer calm, safe, and personalized walks based on each pup’s energy and needs. I can also feed them and spend time playing if needed. I truly enjoy giving them love, attention, and a sense of comfort while their humans are away. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pup as if they were their own, I’d be happy to help. I love spending time outdoors and bonding with dogs through walks and playtime. Your pup will be in caring, responsible, and patient hands. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, reading, drinking tea, and spending peaceful moments at home with my dog. I’m a calm, loving, and committed person who truly enjoys being around animals. When walking dogs, safety is always my top priority. I carefully leash each pup before leaving the house and make sure doors and gates are secure. I tailor the walks to their energy levels and personality, avoiding busy or noisy areas to keep things calm and enjoyable. If I’m feeding your dog or visiting your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions with care. I make sure your pup feels calm, comfortable, and loved during each visit. I treat every pet like family and work hard to build trust with both the animals and their owners.

About: Fun, active neighborhood walks! I love getting outside to exercise with dogs, but to keep my home a peaceful sanctuary for my feline guests. I have experience caring for my 9-year-old cat, including feeding, maintaining a consistent routine, cleaning the litter box, grooming, and monitoring overall health and behavior. Caring for a senior cat has taught me to be attentive, patient, and responsive to changes in their needs. I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, and I'm committed to ensuring pets receive reliable, compassionate care. ​Thursday to Sunday: I work from home! I can keep your cats company, stick to their exact feeding schedules, and give them plenty of attention. I am also highly flexible for dog walking on these days. ​Monday to Wednesday: I work away from home during regular business hours. I am still fully available for cat boarding during these days (their routine, meals, and morning/evening litter scoops won't change!), but my availability for dog walking is limited to early mornings or evenings My home is a quiet, low-stress sanctuary. Because I only walk dogs outside and never board them, your cat will enjoy total peace and quiet. The dedicated spare room is completely safe and deeply cleaned and sanitized with pet-safe disinfectants. You will receive daily photo or video updates along with a quick note on how your pet is eating, playing, and relaxing.

About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since a young age. Enjoying every moment of the companionship and responsibilities. Feeding , bathing , teaching the perfect trick over and over. Dogs ask us for so little - just to be loved ❤️ They give us unconditional Love I work from home and have plenty of time to step out for walks and potty relief. My own 14 year old beagle has passed away and the home is empty , needing to be filled with 4 legged fur I can give attention and love to :) I live in a condo , but get out several times a day for walks for myself and my beagle when she was still with us. Doing lots of dog less walks currently , and thought might be lovely to have a walking partner again

About: I have worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2 years. I have taken care of both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and currently own a cat. I’m available seven days a week, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, exercise, and companionship during the day. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with regular meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, litter or potty breaks, and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have so much love and affection to give to your pet! I house sat cats and dogs before. I am here to help out dog and cat owners who need someone trustworthy to take care of their pet like they are my own. I‘m a University student but I decided not to work to give myself the time to try out this wonderful opportunity! I am flexible with time and do not hesitate to call me last minute because I will try my best to arrange something convenient for you. I love to give pets all my attention, making sure they are receiving not only their nutrients but also the affection and playtime they need!

“David stayed in our house and took care of our dog Bumba for 7 days while we were away. He demonstrated to be very responsible and caring. He followed all the instructions we gave for Bumba’s care, and provided detailed updates and photos every day. Bumba is a senior dog with especial needs and David really understood that and made us feel at ease during our trip. He not only took care of Bumba but also of our house. We will definitely work with him again!”

“Mark took amazing care of our pets for over 2 weeks. Did not worry one minute about them. They were well cared for and very happy when we got home. He also took great care of our home and pool. Thank you! If you need someone to stay in your home and watch your pets I would not hesitate to recommend Mark.”

Sharon E.

“I had a great experience! She was super kind and communication was excellent throughout. She accepted a last-minute booking, which helped us so much. Zuko is usually anxious when meeting someone new for the first time, but he warmed up to her as soon as she walked in which says a lot! I would definitely book again and highly recommend her!”
