FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a business licence to sit pets in Canada?
Small-scale sitting can be reported as self-employment without provincial business registration. Registration is usually only needed once you operate under a business name or exceed local thresholds.
Do I have to register for HST/GST?
Yes, if you exceed CAD 30,000 in pet sitting revenue over four consecutive calendar quarters. Below that threshold, registration is voluntary.
How fast is verification?
Identity verification typically returns within 48 hours of submitting your application.
Can I sit in addition to a day job?
Yes. Many Petme sitters fit walks and drop-ins around a day job; boarding works for evenings, weekends, and vacation periods.
How much of each booking do I keep?
Up to 90% of every booking. Petme charges pet owners 0% and keeps a small platform commission on the sitter side. You set your own rate.
Do I need a fenced yard?
Useful but not required. Many city sitters offer daycare from an apartment with multiple daily walks. Sitters with yards typically charge more per day.
How many dogs can I take per day?
You set your own limit. Most sitters cap at 2-4 dogs per day to keep the experience calm. Sitter profiles state the cap; owners filter accordingly.
