Welcome to Bird Sitting Toronto: Meet Your Bird Sitters

Welcome to Bird Sitting Toronto

Welcome to Bird Sitting Toronto! We're thrilled to have your feathered family member joining us. We're Samantha and Amir Khela, and we founded BST from a deep passion for giving bird owners complete peace of mind when they need to travel or be away from home.

BST is a professional in-home boarding service — we board birds right from our home, which means your bird stays in a warm, residential environment rather than a commercial kennel. We're devoted bird parents ourselves with 12 personal birds: our Budgies Maui, Mango, Achilles, Asia, Algarve, Alesso, Lucky, Mint, and Mochi (three of them hatched this year!), our Conures Miko and Apollo, and our Canary Stanley. Every bird that comes through our doors is treated with the same love and care we give our own flock.

Since launching BST, we've had the privilege of caring for over 1,000 birds from across the Greater Toronto Area — making us the #1 rated online bird sitter in Canada by reviews.

Our Mission

BST exists to provide professional, transparent, and loving avian boarding. We want you to enjoy your time away knowing your bird is safe, stimulated, and well cared for. Every aspect of our home (where we board birds) — from automated environment monitoring to daily photo updates — is designed to give you that confidence.

What Sets BST Apart

• 4-6 hours of supervised out-of-cage time daily — most boarding facilities and vets do not offer this level of hands-on enrichment
• Daily montage video + raw photos and videos sent to your email and portal every single day
• Dedicated bird play area with toys, perches, and enrichment for out-of-cage time
• Over 1,000 birds boarded — top rated online bird sitter, #1 rated in Canada by reviews

Safety & Monitoring

• AI-powered bird detection system — monitors overnight for cage escapes, designed to catch the little engineers who figure out how to open their doors
• Live environment monitoring — temperature and humidity visible 24/7 on the portal
• Air quality monitoring (Airthings) — tracking carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, radon, PM2.5, and more — plus HEPA air filtration throughout

A Message from Samantha & Amir

"When you leave your bird with us, we want you to feel the same peace of mind we'd want if we were leaving our own flock with someone. That's why we send daily updates, monitor the environment around the clock, and treat every single bird like family."
