House & Home Minders Inc

Welcome to Toronto's Original pet and Home sitting service. We have looked after generations of families and pets since 1973.

 

We provide pet sitting, dog walking and home security checks when you are away. Our sitters visit your home to care for your pets in their own enviroment, where we believe they are happier and more comfortable. There is no transportation or disruption to you or your pet. The sitter assigned will always meet with the customer and pet before the service begins. While you are away, leave your home in the care of our professionals for your peace of mind.

 

To inquire about our services, please call our office at 416-778-7175. It is often better to talk in person to better understand you and your pet's needs.

 

For employment opportunities, please call the office before 12pm Mon- Fri. We look for mature, reliable and responsible pet lovers and a vehicle is required.

 

Cat Sitting Service

 

Cat sitting can be daily, twice daily, 48hours or live-in. This service includes washing feeding dishes, giving fresh water, feeding, and cleaning the litter. We will also spend some time brushing the cats or playing if you leave toys and of course if your cat/s wants us to. This service also includes picking up mail and flyers and watering inside plants. Once a sitter has provided service to you, it will be that sitter who would look after you for any repeat service whenever possible. The sitter knows the pet and is familiar with the home.

 

Other Pet Sitting Services

 

We take care of a wide range of pets including Birds, Rabbits, Gerbals, Mice, fish etc. This service includes of course fresh water, food, treats and clean up when necessary. Picking up the mail/flyers and watering inside plants is part of our service.

 

Daily or Occasional House Checks

 

Our sitters check the exterior of the home, pick up mail/flyers and enter the home. A walk through is performed on all levels of the home from the basement up to make certain there is no burst pipes, furnace is working, and home is secure. Lights can be moved around, drapes opened/closed to give a lived-in look. We also water inside plants. During the winter months we will sweep snow off the porch/walkway to let the neighborhood know some one is coming and going to the home. In the summer months we water outside plants and gardens at an hourly rate.

 

 Dog Walking

 

This is a private one on one service - no group walks. The dog walker meets with you and your dog before service begins and it is the same walker Monday to Friday. The walkers bond to your dog and develop a relationship with them that can last for the life of the dog. It is a very positive experience for both dog and walker. Dog walking is usually Monday to Friday but can include week-ends as well.

 

 Live-in Service

 

This service is most often for dogs or cats. A sitter is assigned and will meet with you and your pets beforehand to better understand your situation and to get to know your home. The sitter will move into your home and follow whatever routine your pet is on in terms of feeding, walking, playtime or medications. This service gives added protection to the home as well.

 

 Hourly Pet Care

 

This service is usually for a pet who cannot be left on their own because of medical reasons or loneliness.
