The standard for indoor cats. 20 to 30 minutes of feeding, fresh water, litter, play, and a photo update.
For longer trips or multi-cat households. Morning and evening, same sitter, same routine your cat already knows.
Sitters confident with pills, oral drops, ear drops, and (with a meet-and-greet demo) insulin injections.
A sitter stays at your home overnight. Best for very young, very old, or separation-anxious cats.
Drop-in cat visits in Winnipeg typically cost $18 to $26 CAD per visit. Osborne Village, River Heights, and Tuxedo sit at the higher end; St. Vital and the north end are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $45 to $70 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rates and you see the total before booking.
The cat stays in your home, the heating keeps the home warm throughout, and the sitter handles food, water, litter, and play. Set the thermostat at 19 to 21 degrees C for the booking and ask the sitter to confirm the reading on the first visit. The cold is hard on people, not on indoor cats.
Yes. Sitters set their own coverage areas. Many cover their own neighbourhood; some cover the whole city. Use the Winnipeg filter and check each sitter's coverage map. St. Vital, Charleswood, Transcona, and the north end are all represented in the sitter pool.
Yes if the sitter is medication-experienced. Filter for 'medication experienced' and message a few sitters in chat. Show the brand of insulin and the dose. Most Winnipeg sitters who handle insulin will ask for a brief demo at the meet and greet so they are comfortable on day one.
Set the thermostat at 20 to 21 degrees C for the booking and avoid programmed setbacks during minus-thirty weather. Pipes near outside walls can freeze if the house cools too far. Ask the sitter to confirm the thermostat reading at the first visit and adjust if needed.
Yes. Winnipeg sitters book weekend visits regularly during cottage season. One drop-in per day handles a healthy adult cat for two to four nights, two visits per day for longer absences. Book a week ahead in peak summer; the sitter pool fills up faster around long weekends.
Yes. Winnipeg sitters are used to shy senior cats. 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 once the sitter is part of the routine.
Yes. Every Petme booking in Winnipeg includes up to $20,000 CAD in emergency vet protection at any licensed Manitoba 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.
