Frequently asked questions
Cat sitter questions in Victoria
How much does a cat sitter cost in Victoria?
Drop-in cat visits in Victoria typically cost $20 to $30 CAD per visit. Fairfield, Oak Bay, and downtown sit at the higher end; Saanich and Esquimalt are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $50 to $80 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rate and you see the total before booking.
Do Victoria sitters cover Oak Bay and the Saanich Peninsula?
Yes. Sitters set their own coverage areas. Many cover their own neighbourhood; some cover the whole capital region and into Sidney and Brentwood Bay. Use the Victoria filter and check each sitter's coverage map.
My senior cat is on kidney medication and sub-q fluids. Can the sitter help?
Yes if the sitter is experienced. Filter for 'medication experienced' and message a few sitters in chat. Show the IV bag size, needle gauge, and the volume per session. Many Victoria sitters specialise in senior-cat care given the city's demographics; demonstrate at the meet and greet.
I am taking a Gulf Islands ferry trip. Can a sitter cover it?
Yes. Most Victoria owners book the sitter to visit the Victoria home while the cat stays in familiar territory. Weekend drop-ins are easy. A few sitters travel to Salt Spring or Pender for longer in-home bookings; mention the location in your request.
How do I handle the keys on a Fairfield heritage home?
Hand the sitter a key at the meet and greet and test it on the front door together. Heritage-home locks sometimes need a specific knack. Mention any side or back doors, garden gates, or alarm codes in the booking notes.
My cat is shy with strangers. Will the sitter cope?
Yes. Victoria sitters are used to shy cats in heritage homes. 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 showing up by the third or fourth visit.
Can I book a sitter for a long European holiday?
Yes. Three- and four-week bookings are common in Victoria, especially among retiree owners. Confirm continuous availability with the sitter, do a meet and greet a week or so before departure, and book one or two visits per day depending on the cat's needs.
Is the $20,000 CAD vet protection valid at Victoria vet clinics?
Yes. Every Petme booking in Victoria includes up to $20,000 CAD in emergency vet protection at any licensed BC 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.
