Cat sitters in Midtown, Toronto

Drop-in cat visits in Toronto typically cost $22 to $35 CAD per visit. Visits in Yorkville, the financial district, and Rosedale sit at the higher end; Scarborough and Etobicoke tend to be a little lower. Overnight cat sitting (a sitter stays at your home) runs $55 to $90 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rates and you see the total before booking.

For a healthy adult cat, one visit per day is enough for absences up to four nights. For longer absences, two visits per day is the Petme recommendation, since cats notice the silence in a quiet condo after several days. Kittens, senior cats, and cats on medication should always get two visits per day.

Many do. Filter for sitters tagged 'medication experienced' or message in chat before booking. Pills wrapped in pate, oral drops, ear drops, and subcutaneous fluids for renal cats are routine. Insulin injections for diabetic cats are handled by sitters who have done it before; share the brand and dose so the sitter can confirm comfort during the meet and greet.

Most Toronto owners book the sitter to visit the Toronto home while the cat stays in familiar territory. A few sitters do travel north for in-home cat care; mention the cottage location in your booking request and the dates you need covered.

Fresh food and water, litter scoop or change, fifteen to twenty minutes of play with a wand toy or feather, brushing if your cat enjoys it, and a quick check that windows are closed and the balcony door is locked. The sitter sends a photo update before leaving so you see the cat is calm.

Arrange a free meet and greet through Petme chat. Most Toronto owners do a 20-minute meeting where you hand over keys or fob, walk through the feeding routine, show where the litter is stored, and confirm the cat is comfortable. After that the booking is confirmed from the app.

Yes. Plenty of Toronto condos have one bold cat and one shy cat, and sitters are used to the pattern. The sitter still refills food and water, scoops litter, looks for the shy cat, and reports what they observed. Most shy cats start showing up by the third or fourth visit once the sitter is part of the routine.
