Drop-in cat visits in Quebec City typically cost $20 to $28 CAD per visit. Montcalm and Saint-Jean-Baptiste sit at the higher end; Limoilou and Charlesbourg are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $48 to $75 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rate and you see the total before booking.
Yes, most do. Sitters list their languages on their profile; filter for French if you want to manage the booking in French from chat through to the meet and greet. The Petme platform is available in French, and sitter notes and photo captions can be in French throughout.
Yes. Vieux-Quebec sitters know the walled-city access points and the narrow stairwells in heritage flats. Mention the building address and any quirks (no elevator, key in a lockbox, narrow entry) in the booking notes. Most heritage flats have an outer door, an inner door, and the flat door; label your keys.
Most Quebec City owners book the sitter to visit the Quebec City home while the cat stays in familiar territory. A few sitters travel to Charlevoix for in-home cat care during longer holidays; mention the location and dates in your booking request.
Yes if the sitter is medication-experienced. Filter for 'medication experienced' and message a few sitters in chat. Pills, oral drops, ear drops, and subcutaneous fluids for renal cats are routine. Insulin injections are handled by sitters who have done it before; share the brand and dose at the meet and greet.
Set the thermostat at 19 to 21 degrees C for the booking. Do not let it drop below 18 in winter; pipes near outside walls in heritage flats can freeze. Ask the sitter to confirm the reading on the first visit and adjust if the cat's favourite room runs cool.
Yes. Quebec City sitters are used to shy cats in narrow heritage flats. The sitter refills food and water, scoops the litter, looks for the cat without forcing interaction, and reports what they observed. Most shy cats start coming out by the third or fourth visit.
Yes. Every Petme booking in Quebec City includes up to $20,000 CAD in emergency vet protection at any licensed Quebec vet clinic during the sitter's care window. No deductible, no enrollment, no extra fee. Coverage runs from the first visit to the last visit of the booking.
