Keep your cat comfortable in a condo-dense city

High-rise balcony safety

Many Burnaby cats live in Metrotown and Brentwood towers. Keep balcony doors locked for the booking and tell your sitter to keep them shut.

Coastal damp

Metro Vancouver winters are wet rather than freezing. Ask your sitter to keep the home ventilated and litter areas dry.

Frequent flyers

Burnaby residents travel often through nearby YVR. A saved, medication-aware sitter makes short-notice trips easy.

About cat sitting in Burnaby

Burnaby sits at the centre of Metro Vancouver, a dense, diverse city where condo towers around Metrotown and Brentwood meet older detached homes near Deer Lake and Capitol Hill. Young professionals and SFU-connected residents make up a large share of cat owners, so single-cat condos are the standard, with two-cat detached homes further from the towers.

Burnaby owners have quick access to Metro Vancouver's 24-hour emergency vet clinics, and family-vet clinics cover every neighbourhood. The Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs, valid at any licensed BC clinic during the sitter's care window.

Burnaby cat owners travel often through nearby YVR: work trips, family visits abroad, and weekends across BC. Petme keeps the cat home in its routine. Most Burnaby drop-in visits run $22 to $30 CAD per visit, with Metrotown and Brentwood at the higher end and the eastern neighbourhoods a little lower.

Practical tips for Burnaby cat owners

Local cat care notes

High-rise balcony safety

Metrotown and Brentwood towers have full-height balcony glass. Lock the balcony door for the booking and tell the sitter to keep it shut.

Coastal damp

Metro Vancouver winters are wet rather than freezing. Ask the sitter to keep the home ventilated and the litter area dry.

Vertical play

Condo cats love height. Ask the sitter to play near cat trees and window perches to keep an indoor cat active.

Frequently asked questions

Cat sitter questions in Burnaby

How much does a cat sitter cost in Burnaby?
Drop-in cat visits in Burnaby typically cost $22 to $30 CAD per visit. Metrotown and Brentwood sit at the higher end; the eastern neighbourhoods are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $50 to $75 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rate and you see the total before booking.
Can a sitter visit my Metrotown tower?
Yes. Many Burnaby sitters cover the condo towers around Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed. Hand over a fob and key at the meet and greet, and note any concierge sign-in or elevator access in the booking so the sitter can reach your cat.
How do I keep a high-rise cat safe while I am away?
Lock balcony doors for the whole booking and tell the sitter to keep them shut. Burnaby sitters know high-rise safety: they check windows and screens, keep the cat off open balconies, and report anything that looks off.
My cat needs daily medication. Can the sitter manage?
Yes if the sitter is medication-experienced. Filter for medication experience and message a few sitters in chat. Pills, oral drops, and subcutaneous fluids for renal cats are routine. Show the dose and timing at the meet and greet.
I travel often through YVR. Can sitters handle short notice?
Yes. Most Burnaby sitters take short-notice bookings once you have done a meet and greet. Save two or three sitters as favourites and message them when travel is confirmed. Same-day bookings work outside peak periods.
Does Petme cover the rest of Metro Vancouver?
Yes. Petme covers Burnaby alongside Vancouver, New Westminster, and Coquitlam. Sitters near the boundary often cover cats on either side, so check each sitter's coverage map when you book.
My cat hides from strangers. Will the sitter find them?
Yes. Burnaby sitters are used to shy cats in condos and family homes. The sitter refills food and water, scoops the litter, looks for the cat without forcing contact, and reports what they saw. Most shy cats relax by the third or fourth visit.
Is the CAD 32,000 Protection Plan valid at BC clinics?
Yes. The Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs at any licensed BC clinic during the sitter's care window. No deductible, no enrollment, no extra fee. Coverage runs from the first visit to the last.
