about us
The Toronto Pet Au Pair is owned and operated by LC Martin. LC grew up in a home full of unique animals where she was taught to love and respect all of life’s most vulnerable creatures. She has over six years experience working in Veterinary Hospitals and is in her eighth year running The Toronto Pet Au Pair.
Aside from growing up with animals of her own, LC spent two years working with rabbits, ferrets, birds, and other pocket pets at the Links Road Bird & Animal Clinic in Toronto. Here she spent her time learning from the smallest patients and taking care of the many exotics boarding in the clinic. From there she moved on to an Emergency Animal Hospital working predominately with cats and dogs in need of urgent care. The training she received from consistently dealing with medical emergencies shaped her life and how she would care for animals in the future.
LC began to take care of all the special needs animals she came in contact with through the hospital. These were animals who needed extra medical or behavioural care. She loved helping these animals heal and so The Toronto Pet Au Pair was born! LC has always been committed to maintaining relationships with all the wonderful pets and their human best friends who come into her life.
The Toronto Pet Au Pair completely understands that your pet is part of your family. We take caring for your pets seriously while always making sure they have the best experience possible. The Toronto Pet Au Pair is there when you need us, whether it be for a vet appointment you can't miss work for, or when you’re leaving on vacation. With our care, you can rest assured that your pet is in the best hands.

Our Services
Daily Home Visits
The Toronto Pet Au Pair offers in-home visits, ranging in length of stay with individual care options depending on your pet's needs. These visits can be once daily while you are at work or multiple times daily while you are on vacation.
Diabetic or Special needs pets
These pets are the hardest to leave when you want to get away. Boarding these special little ones somewhere unfamiliar can be upsetting for both pet and owner and cause unnecessary stress. We will visit your pet multiple times a day, and keep their set routine for injections, medications, potty breaks and of course cuddles! The comfort and love that comes with being home safe and sound shouldn't be overlooked for these special pets.
Overnight Stay - live in services
Are your pets used to someone being home at night? We provide overnight stays to help keep them calm and content throughout the night while you are away. This service is great for those with separation anxiety or pets that need to be fed first thing in the morning.
Private Walk
Toronto Pet Au Pair offers one hour private dog walks to get those fur babies moving. The walks are catered to your dogs special needs, but always fun and positive, leaving your dog ready for a good nap.
PET PHOTOS
The Toronto Pet Au Pair provides photography services as well. Check out our gallery to see some recent shots.
Pet Transportation
Does your pet have an appointment and you aren't available to take them? We can help with that! We will drive your pet to the vet, groomer, or play date so they can be ready for snuggles when you get home.
Puppy Training - Potty breaks
Are you working full time while trying to train a puppy? It's tough and accidents happen. We can come by and let your little one out for a potty break to keep them comfortable and help keep them on track with training.
Short Term Boarding
We provide short term boarding services for dogs, cats, bunnies and pocket pets. All pets requiring short term boarding will need to be up to date with vaccines and have basic training.
House Sitting
Need a little extra help from us while you're away? We can water your indoor plants, take out your garbage or help with loose ends. Forgot to pick up the pet food? We've got it covered.
“My cat was in love with her after only one weekend together. I will never hire anyone but LC to look after my sweet, little bear.”
