We highly recommend YPPS! Our dog Benji is very selective with people and he is scared of strangers but he has loved all his dog walkers with this company over the years. They are very professional, trustworthy, and patient, and have taken the time to learn Benji’s personality and needs. He just adores his dogwalker April❤️. We are so grateful to the entire team! 🐶🤗

We are extremely happy with York Professional Pet Sitting! They have been taking care of our dogs, Praga and Toscana, and the level of professionalism is outstanding. The daily reports we receive are incredibly detailed, which gives us such peace of mind knowing exactly how our girls are doing. The team is very skilled at managing their different personalities and they even go above and beyond with small details around the house. It's a relief to know they are in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommended for anyone in the area!

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this service. From the very beginning, the care, kindness, and genuine thoughtfulness were so evident. It was incredibly reassuring to know that everything was being handled with such attention and heart. Going above and beyond clearly comes naturally, and that level of dedication truly set this experience apart. It’s rare to find a service that is both highly professional and so genuinely caring. I’m beyond grateful, will absolutely be using this service again in the future, and cannot recommend it highly enough!

All of the walkers who have cared for my dog, Bambi, have been exceptional. Paula and Ashley have both been incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable, and it is clear how much care they put into each visit. Their communication is thorough and reassuring, with thoughtful updates that show they are genuinely paying attention to Bambi’s comfort, routine, and wellbeing. They take the time to ensure she is properly prepared for the weather, given opportunities to explore and exercise, and settled comfortably afterward. Most importantly, Bambi is always calm, happy, and relaxed in their care, which speaks volumes about the trust they build with her. I am very grateful for the level of professionalism and compassion shown by everyone on the team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and truly caring dog walkers.

This is an excellent company to work with. From the initial request, the virtual meet and greet and the ease of their booking app - it was all a seamless process. Paula sent me an email after Mocha's first walk with a detailed description of what they did and pictures. I highly recommend York Professional Pet Sitting to anyone looking for this service. Thanks to Morag and Paula for making it all so easy and comforting!

I had such a wonderful experience with YPPS! I needed mid-day visit for my senior dog, Luna, and the level of care and love they gave her went so above and beyond. All my notes and instructions were carefully followed, and they were very responsive whenever I needed to reach out about any changes. It was amazing having peace of mind at work knowing that Luna was getting all the care she needed. Reading the reports the pet sitters would send me after each visit was such a highlight of my day. I could tell by how they talked about my little lady and the pictures they sent me of her, that she was so happy to have a new friend stop by every day. I already knew the team at YPPS was amazing, so my expectations were high, but they still managed to exceed them. I will 100% be using them again in the future when I need them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality pet care.

York professional pet sitting is the utter best of the best. We have 3 cats, one who is easy as pie, one who needs twice daily meds for a heart condition and one who has complex PTSD needs so we were very nervous about it leaving them in the care of others. York professional pet sitting abolished any fears we had almost immediately!!! They Provide such a detailed care experience with Daily photos and a run down of each visit as well as a tick list for each pet. They also made sure our house was secure with our blinds closed at night and opened in the morning. My husband and I are so impressed and will be with York Professional pet sitting for life! If we could give Morag and her team 10 stars we would! Thanks so much for your care of our little freaks!

It was a pleasure to work with York! From my initial contact, to discussing needs and scheduling visits, to getting updates while we were gone, the entire process was smooth and worry-free. I felt confident to leave my dog in our home but in their care with timely visits to be let out or walked. I will definitely contact them again and highly recommend their services!

What an amazing service! We had someone come to our home to feed and spend time with our cat while we were away for a week and everything went so smoothly. They went above and beyond and sent detailed messages of their time with our cat.

I put off finding a dogwalker for quite some time because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to find someone I trusted with my dogs. I reached out to York Professional Dog Walking because of their great reviews and how long they’ve been in business. I was pleasantly surprised by the personalized onboarding and being able to meet the owner. Then came the first walk, I felt at ease about the decision as soon as I met Madi. My dogs love her and it’s been such a weight lifted off my shoulders as a busy entrepreneur. They are super dependable, communicative and kind. Highly highly recommend.

York Professional Pet Sitting and Dog Walking has been an absolute diamond of a find. My partner and I got our first German Sheppard/ lab puppy who is high energy and high attention needs. We both work full time and needed a reliable trustworthy service to take care of our pup (especially before being fully vaccinated and being allowed around other dogs). Morag was very friendly and informative. She took the time to answer all our questions and has been very understanding with our last minute requests for services (as my partner and I can have unpredictable schedules at times). The app is user friendly and the post - visit updates are so sweet. All the staff have been kind, patient and lovely with our growing fur babe - even when he is a little mouthy at times. We love this service and are so grateful we found them! Highly highly highly recommend!!

We had a fantastic experience with York Professional Pet Sitting this past weekend! Lindsay took amazing care of our two pets, Luna and Astro, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. It was clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to two very happy pets and a clean, well-cared-for space. Highly recommend their services — we’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

We left our 18 year cat for 15 days with York Professional pet sitting. We were nervous leaving her as our regular sitter was unavailable.They were amazing. Princess makes strange and very timid with new people in our home. It took her 2 days to warm up and she loved the girls coming in every day. She was purring, rubbing her head on there legs and arms and even took treats and played. We definitely will be using them again for Princess and also our puppy Murphy next time.. Our Vet Dr Knoll told us they are amazing as she uses them as well. She was so right.. I highly recommend them.

We have used York Professional Dog walking and pet sitting to take care of our 2 cats a number of times and have been very happy with their services. One of our cats is very shy and often won’t come out when there are people in the house, especially new ones. By the end of the 1st visit she is coming out and even playing with their staff. That is absolutely amazing! It makes me so happy to know she is happy and getting the love she needs so much. Our cat can be very mischievous and get into things especially when board. The staff pay attention to small details like ensuring everything is put away securely before leaving keeping him safe and not getting into trouble. Love the daily updates and pictures they send. Don’t hesitate leaving your pet with this pet care service.

I cannot say enough positive things about the team at YPPS. They have come through for me and my pup Toby time and time again. My schedule is rather frantic as my dog is occasionally babysat by family and the team at YPPS is always so receptive to our scheduling needs, despite being unpredictable! They are very quick to reply to inquiries, have saved our buns when we have had urgent care needs, and Toby has loved every single walker that's come by. Everyone is kind, respectful, super friendly with my old boy, and takes the absolute best photos of him with every walk! I know I can trust this team with truly any of our pet care needs and I am so very grateful to be a customer of theirs. It doesn't get any better! We will continue using their wonderful services for as long as they'll have us 🙂 Thank you so much to Morag, Lorrie, Shannon, Leigh, and every single other team member!

I have used this service twice now while away and they never disappoint. Their service is truly professional and you can rest at ease that your pets are well cared for in the comfort of their own home. Morag, Lorrie and the rest of their team are spectacular! You will receive a report from every visit with a photo and you will never have to worry about your pets. I have pure bred Labs and when I told my breeder that I was using this service, she said I couldn't have made a better choice.

I really can't say enough good things about our pet sitting family. Sure, it's a business but they really do feel like part of our family. I was very hesitant to have anyone walk my fur baby, especially since she has some fear/aggression issues on leash, but my fears quickly subsided after meeting with the owner Morag and discussing all of our Cali's issues in detail. They took great care and time to get Cali adjusted to her new friend and ensure everyone was comfortable. Fast forward a year now and we've been using them several times a week... and I can't imagine life without them!! Cali loves her best friend Cole and I feel more confident with him walking her than I do myself now!! Prices are more than fair and the team is trained, trustworthy and knowledgeable. They also provide post-walk reports and updates so you're always in the loop and informed. Whether you need relief while at work or just want to provide your pup with some social time out and about, I encourage everyone to consider this family to help yours!!

Incredibly responsive, wonderfully professional and completely trustworthy! Without exception, the best home based service I have ever used. In this “it takes a village”, “social distancing is essential” but “I have a new puppy” world, I can’t imagine how I would raise my little Munro without them. On a personal basis, Leanne is a gift. I can’t recommend them more than 5 out of 5 stars but if I could I would. They offer a variety of services to assist you in these changing times. They show up when they say they will. They take every second of the time allotted to focus on the needs of your puppy. And, in short, I trust them.

Morag and her team were there in 2019 to help me through a difficult health crisis. I knew without a doubt that my dog was being well taken care of, whether she was being taken for a walk...or visited at home. York Professional Dog Walking and Pet Sitting are the ONLY people I call when I need help with my pets. I know that they will be treated with love and kindness and I never need to worry about their safety.

We started using this service a long time ago, but hadn't used them recently until this month. The time in between we had family members at home who would care for the house and our three cats. We found the service of York Professional Pet Sitting to be as reliable as ever. The questions they asked us gave us a comfort level in knowing that they were indeed "professional" because even though we thought WE were thorough, their additional prompts were vital. This gave us added assurance knowing that all possible bases were covered. In addition the "Time to Pet" software was a valuable app for the phone. On a daily basis when we had some downtime, this was our window back to our home and provided us with additional information and daily updates on how our pets were doing. Comments were informative (and humourous). You could tell that the petsitters also enjoyed what they were doing. If that wasn't enough, photos were also provided. These guys take far better shots of our pets than I could ever manage! Just knowing that our home and pets were well cared is huge. This is what I call FULL SERVICE and definitely value added because it was a main contributor in ensuring that our trip was stress free. Upon our return, the house was in even better form than when we had left it. I give an enthusiastic thumbs up in recommending this company for pet sitting. Very thorough, very competent. We will gladly use them again.

If you don't mind being called a crazy dog mom then we are peas in a pod. I will admit that I did NOT want to leave my dogs alone overnight but circumstances were that a boarding kennel wasn't an option this time. Every day that we were away on vacation we received photos five times a day of happy pups in their own home. Their eyes were sparkling and happy. I know they didn't experience the upset of being left somewhere strange. I am a convert and no longer feel chained to the house. I am now comfortable planning more time away from home because this is a great solution for all of our animals. To top it off when we got home we were greeted by sleepy pups who had been in a deep sleep in their own beds. It wasn't that crazy 'I never thought I would see you again' greeting and they didn't smell like 3 days of stress sweat - that felt good. And then Gail showed up for the last walk and the place went wild. They lined up with wiggling bums and tails waiting for their turn to go out with her. Thank you Gail for taking such good care of our herd.

What an amazing first experience with Morag and her team. My husband and I were apprehensive about leaving Indy for 12 days, as this would be the first time ever. They exceeded every expectations that we had and managed to fit in an extra visit in their incredibly busy schedule when they found out our plane had been delayed. Thanks again to you and your team for taking such great care of Indy. We will definitely be using your services again.

FAQ

What areas do you serve?

Since 2000, York Professional Pet Sitting and Dog Walking has proudly provided professional dog walking and in-home pet sitting services throughout Newmarket, Aurora, Sharon and Holland Landing.

Not sure if you are within our service area?  View our service area map here.

What types of pets do you care for?

We care for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rabbits, birds, fish, ferrets, chinchillas, bearded dragons, axolotls and many other legal family pets. If you don’t see your pet listed, just ask!

Do you offer one-on-one dog walks or group walks?

We specialise in calm, one-on-one neighbourhood walks. We do not offer pack walks, visit dog parks or let dogs off leash. This allows us to provide personalised care tailored to your dog’s individual needs while keeping their safety our highest priority.

Are your pet care professionals employees?

Every member of our pet care team is a trained employee, not an independent contractor. They are insured, bonded and professionally trained and supported by our experienced management team.  Meet our Team

Are you insured, bonded and Pet First Aid certified?

Yes. Before caring for their first client, every team member is insured, bonded and completes Pet First Aid and CPR certification.

Can you care for puppies, kittens, senior pets and pets with special needs?

Yes, our team is trained to care for puppies, senior pets, special needs pets including pets with disabilities and those that require assistance and/or medication.  Every visit is customised to your pet’s age, personality, routine and individual care needs.

How do I get started?

Simply complete our getting started form  and we’ll send you a link to create your secure online account. From there, you’ll book a complimentary virtual Meet & Greet at a time that’s convenient for you. Once everything is set up, you can relax knowing your pets are supported by a trusted professional team 365 days a year. Visit our What to Expect page.

How will I know how my pet is doing while I'm away?

After every visit you’ll receive detailed visit notes, along with photos and, whenever possible, videos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing giving you reassurance wherever you are.

What happens if my regular pet care professional is unavailable?

Because we’re a team of trained employees, we always have backup available when needed. If your regular pet care professional is unavailable due to illness, vacation or an emergency, another qualified team member who has access to your pet’s information and care instructions can step in. Our team approach means your pet continues receiving the reliable care they’ve come to know.

Why should I choose a professional pet care company instead of a pet care app?

Choosing someone to care for your pet is about much more than finding someone available.
At York Professional Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, our pet care professionals are trained employees who are insured, bonded and supported by an experienced management team. Every visit follows established care procedures, and our GPS-enabled software allows us to confirm visits are completed as scheduled.

Because we’re a team, there’s always backup available if illness or an emergency occurs. That means you can leave home confidently, knowing your pet is supported by a professional company with systems in place to provide dependable care every day of the year.

That’s one of the many reasons local pet parents have trusted York Professional Pet Sitting & Dog Walking since 2000.

What are your hours?

We provide pet care 365 days a year between 7:00 AM and 9:30 PM. Our office is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM to assist with bookings and questions. The office is closed on weekends and statutory holidays.  

Can I bring my pet to your home or office for care?

No, No. We specialise in caring for pets in the comfort, safety and familiarity of their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and experience less stress. 

How will my keys or codes be handled?

We do not retain keys.    We no longer retain client keys. Access to homes is provided through electronic locks or secure lockboxes. You choose the code, and once your visits are complete, you can simply change or disable it for added security.   Visit our full key control information here.

Will I meet the person caring for my pet before services begin?

Yes. Every new client begins with a complimentary virtual Meet & Greet where we get to know you, your pet and your routine. If you would like to meet your assigned pet care professional before services begin, we’re happy to arrange that. If another team member ever needs to step in due to illness, vacation or an emergency, we can also arrange an introduction whenever practical. Additional in-person Meet & Greets are billed at our regular visit rate.
