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:

Verified by us
We do background and/or ID checks, ask for external references and verify email addresses and phone numbers.

Verified by others
After a sit, our pet parents rate and review their sitter and give honest feedback.

Verified by you
You can screen sitters before you commit by meeting them face-to-face or via a video call.
Our Home and Contents Plan covers you for up to $1 million against property damage, theft and sitter accidents. This is included in our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships.

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.
When you arrange a pet sitter through TrustedHousesitters, you only pay for your annual membership – no other money changes hands.

Like you, our pet sitters pay an annual fee to join our community and use our platform. They don’t get paid or charge for their services.

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.

If you book a sitter who isn’t part of our community, the average cost of pet sitting in Toronto, ON is $2.33 per hour, $93.33 per week for 40 hours or $303.33 per month for 130 hours.

The average nightly rate for a dog sitter in Toronto is $87.33 - that’s over $600 on average for just a week’s vacation. Luckily, there’s no such thing as pet sitting rates here at TrustedHousesitters. Pet parents simply pay one annual membership fee which gives them access to as many verified sitters as needed, all year round.

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.

Welcoming an in-home Toronto pet sitter means your furry family can stay together in their home environment, where vets agree they’re happiest. Being looked after by an experienced pet sitter means 24-hour care and sticking to the daily routine that makes them feel calm and content.

And whether your pet has a special diet, you’ve got multiple pets or your furry pal is on medication, welcoming a sitter tends to be a less stressful option than other forms of pet care. Why? Because pets don’t have to move an inch from their familiar surroundings, and sitters care for one furry family at a time, personalizing their approach for each new pet pal they look after.
