Pick the right one for your trip:
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.
It is the most common reaction and it does not affect the visit. An experienced sitter in South Surrey will not force contact: food and litter get handled, the cat comes out on its own schedule, and most appear by the second or third visit. Until then the photos and the litter box tell you what you need to know, which is that your cat is eating and using it while you are out of Surrey.
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 Surrey is the drop-in visit: your cat stays in its own home in South Surrey and only the person changes. It also avoids driving a carrier across town in the middle of a Canadian winter.
Drop-in cat visits in Surrey typically cost $20 to $28 CAD per visit. South Surrey, Morgan Heights, and Cloverdale sit at the higher end; Newton, Whalley, and Guildford are a little lower. Overnight in-home sitting runs $48 to $75 CAD per night. Sitters set their own rates and you see the total before booking.
Yes. Sitters set their own coverage areas. Many cover their own pocket of the city; some cover the whole of Surrey and into Langley or White Rock. Use the Surrey filter and check each sitter's coverage map. South Surrey, Cloverdale, Fleetwood, Newton, and Guildford are all represented.
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 volume per session. Most Surrey sitters who do sub-q fluids will ask for a demo at the meet and greet so they are comfortable on day one.
Yes. Two-week bookings are common in Surrey because many families travel internationally. Confirm with the sitter that they have continuous availability across the dates, book one or two visits per day, and arrange a meet and greet a week or so before departure.
No. Townhouse cats live across multiple floors and sitters know the routine. Mention the layout in the booking notes, point out the litter location and the favourite sleeping spots, and the sitter will check each floor at every visit.
Set a temporary code for the duration of the booking if your alarm allows it, or share the standard code in writing at the meet and greet. Many Surrey owners use smart locks with one-time codes per sitter. Confirm with the sitter how the alarm is set when they leave each visit.
Yes. Surrey sitters are used to shy 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.
Yes. Every Petme booking in Surrey includes up to CAD 32,000 in emergency Protection Plan 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.
