Frequently asked questions
Cat sitter questions in Calgary
How many visits a day does a cat in Chinatown need?
One visit a day covers a healthy adult cat: food, fresh water, litter, and some company. Two makes sense for kittens, seniors, cats on medication, or a multi-cat household. Sitters in Chinatown agree the timing with you before the first visit, and most send a photo at the end of each one so you can see how Calgary looks from your cat's side of it.
Why home visits in Chinatown instead of boarding?
Cats bond to territory rather than to people the way dogs do, so the move itself is the stressful part, not the time alone. That is why the cat service across Calgary is the drop-in visit: your cat stays in its own home in Chinatown and only the person changes. It also avoids driving a carrier across town in the middle of a Canadian winter.
How much does a cat sitter cost in Calgary?
Drop-in cat visits in Calgary typically cost $20 to $30 CAD per visit. The Beltline and Mission sit at the higher end; the deep south and northwest are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $50 to $80 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rates and you see the exact total before booking.
Calgary winters are brutal. Is a drop-in visit really enough?
Yes, for indoor cats it is the right service. The cat stays warm in its own home, never leaves the house, and the sitter handles food, water, litter, and play. Booking the cat into a kennel means a cold car transfer in minus-twenty weather, plus a stress shift for the cat. Drop-in visits avoid both.
Do Calgary cat sitters cover the deep south and the northwest?
Yes. Sitters set their own coverage areas. Many Calgary sitters cover their own quadrant; some cover the whole city. Use the Calgary filter and check each sitter's coverage map before booking. Auburn Bay, Tuscany, and Royal Oak are all well covered.
My cat is on thyroid medication twice daily. Can the sitter handle it?
Yes if the sitter is medication-experienced. Filter for 'medication experienced' and message a few sitters in chat. Show them the pill form (tablet, capsule, transdermal gel), the dose, and the timing. Most Calgary sitters who handle daily medication will ask for a brief demo at the meet and greet.
How do I keep the heating set right during a multi-day booking?
Leave the thermostat at your normal indoor temperature, usually 19 to 21 degrees C, for the duration of the booking. Do not let it drop below 18 in winter; cats can get uncomfortable and water pipes near outside walls can freeze. Ask the sitter to confirm the thermostat reading on the first visit.
Can I find a sitter for a Banff or Canmore weekend?
Most Calgary owners book the sitter to visit the Calgary home while the cat stays in familiar territory. A few sitters do travel to Banff or Canmore for in-home care; mention the location in your booking request. For most weekend trips, Calgary drop-in visits are easier and cheaper.
My cat is older and on a special diet. Will the sitter follow the routine?
Yes. Sitters follow your written feeding instructions exactly. Specify the brand, the portion in grams or cups, and the timing. Many Calgary owners feed senior or renal cats two or three small meals per day; the sitter can split a single visit into two short ones if needed, billed separately.
Is the CAD 32,000 Protection Plan automatic in Calgary?
Yes. Every Petme booking includes up to CAD 32,000 in emergency Protection Plan at any licensed Alberta 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.
