Questions about pet and dog sitting

No, unlike other platforms, our sitters sit for love, not money. After paying an annual membership, no money changes hands between our members.

It’s a win-win situation. Sitters exchange their love and care for a stay in your home and the chance to make new furry friends. While pet parents can travel with peace of mind, knowing their pets are loved and cared for.

Our sitters love all kinds of homes and locations. For them, it’s less about grand accommodation and more about staying in real homes and living like a local.

They prefer cosy homes where they can embed themselves in the local community, spend time with adorable pets and make special travel memories.

So as long as your home is clean, tidy and welcoming, our sitters would love to stay.

The first thing to do is to register for free. Once you’re registered, you can explore our platform and decide which membership plan is right for you. We offer three annual memberships – Basic, Standard and Premium.

After you’ve chosen and paid for your membership, you can create your listing. This is your chance to describe your home and pets, and add the dates you’ll be away.

As soon as your listing is live, pet sitters can apply. You can browse their applications and shortlist the ones you think are right. You also have the option to invite sitters directly.

We recommend meeting face-to-face or via video call before confirming the sit to make sure it’s a good match for your home and pets.

Most pet parents confirm a sitter within a day. But this can vary depending on your location and the level of detail you’ve shared in your listing.

For extra peace of mind, our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships include a Money Back Promise. Which means if you don’t find a sitter within 14 days, we’ll refund you.

We know arranging to have a pet sitter in your home for the first time may seem daunting. But we do everything in our power to keep all our members safe:

Premium Pet Parent members also benefit from our Sit Cancellation Plan that protects you in case your sitter cancels.

And lastly, our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships include a Money Back Promise. Which means if you don’t find a sitter within 14 days, we’ll refund you.

Our pet sitters don’t charge for their services, and no money changes hands between our members. They do it because they love pets and travel, so, in exchange for a place to stay, they’ll look after your pets and take care of your home while you’re away.

Unlike many traditional pet sitting services, our members sit for free because caring for pets and exploring the world is their hobby, not their job. Staying in new locations, making new pet pals and connecting with likeminded pet lovers is their passion. And it’s a win-win for both sitters and pet owners: sitters get to live like a local with the company of new furry pals, while owners can rest easy, knowing their pets are being looked after by a sitter who’s here for all the right reasons.

The responsibilities of our members pet sitting in Toronto include 1:1, round-the-clock care in the pet’s home environment, along with feeding, dog walking, administering medication (if that’s been agreed with pet owners), playtime, sending photo updates, watering plants, collecting mail and maintaining the home.
