In-home sitters in Toronto for your next trip
Overview
If you have to leave your pets on their own for a period of time in Ontario, you need to arrange some kind of care for them. While some people might look for a neighbor or a friend to provide that care, the best option by far is to instead opt for a professional sitter, who will not only care for your pets but may also provide other services like general house sitting and pet transportation. If you’re looking for an in-home sitter in Toronto, here are a few great options.

PetsGo is an all-inclusive pet care service that sees itself as more of a personalized nanny service than a traditional pet care option. They price based on visits. There are no upcharges for medication administration, mess cleanup, or even extra pets. They even have a client app that allows them to communicate with you directly, keep you updated on the care your pet is receiving, and send you pictures of your furry friend after every visit.

5. Cat's Pyjamas Cat Sitting
Cat’s Pyjamas Cat Sitting specializes in cat-sitting services exclusively. While some pet owners enjoy bringing their dogs with them on trips, cats generally don’t do well traveling. It’s usually considered best to leave cats at home and allow them to maintain their daily routine. Cat’s Pyjamas can help you keep your cat’s routine consistent while you’re gone while also providing general house-sitting services.

Make sure your pet gets the right help
An in-home sitter is a great solution to issues that might arise when you’re planning to leave home for a period of time. However, while pet sitters are trained to look for signs of illness and get help if necessary, it’s still best to make sure your pets are as healthy as possible before you leave them in someone else’s care. Book a virtual vet appointment with Vetster to get information about your pet’s health, including how to keep them healthy and happy while you’re gone on your trip.
