Summerhill is Newmarket's polished south end — the Summerhill Heights subdivisions that fill in the land between Mulock Drive and the Aurora line, west toward Bathurst and east toward Bayview. It's a newer, planned part of town: wide sidewalks, a Longo's plaza, a tidy network of parks, and the Tom Taylor Trail threading along the old rail corridor just to the east, where the morning regulars walk their dogs past goldfinches working the thistle. The houses skew family-sized, and the commute defines the rhythm here — a lot of Summerhill works in Vaughan, North York, or downtown.
That commuter rhythm is the reason most Summerhill owners come looking for a sitter. When you're already adding forty minutes to the bottom of the 404 or catching an early GO train, you don't have a lot of slack for a bird that needs lifting, feeding, and actual company twice a day. And birds notice an empty house faster than people think — a week of neglect and even a sturdy budgie goes quiet and off its food. We take that off your plate entirely. Your bird boards in our small studio room, one of two households at most, with a routine that holds whether you're gone two nights or two weeks.
Geographically Summerhill is one of our closest neighbourhoods — a quick run north up Yonge or Bayview, well under ten minutes from most streets near Mulock. That makes us easy to fold into a workday: drop the bird on your way to the highway, pick it up on the way home. For longer trips, we'll come to you, so a vacation departure doesn't start with a carrier wedged into a packed trunk.
We keep your bird's world consistent. The food you send is the food we feed; the wake-up time you keep is the wake-up time we keep. No dog, no chatter TV — just a quiet, sunny room and a humidifier ticking away. And every day you're gone, a photo letter arrives: a few real pictures and a paragraph on how your bird's holding up. For a Summerhill family already running a tight schedule, that's one fewer thing to worry about from the road.
