Know your Caledon areas

Cat homes in Caledon
Caledon cats live in owner-occupied houses: the 2021 Census puts home ownership at 89.4% of the Town's households. On a cat visit, walk every floor, check that the basement door is shut, and look for a cat hiding in a closet or under a bed.
Bilingual owners book faster
Canada is officially bilingual, and in Quebec, parts of New Brunswick and the Ottawa region owners search and message in French. A sitter who says in their profile that they work in French as well as English books faster in those neighbourhoods.
What a cat sitting job in Caledon actually involves
Every visit happens at the owner's house. Ask for a spare key and the vet's number before the first visit, and find out where the furnace switch sits in older Caledon farmhouses. Take a photo of the bowls and the litter box before you lock up.
Keys and access
Most Caledon owners hand over a spare key, a lockbox code or a smart-lock code at the meet-and-greet. Agree where the key lives and how you get in if the code fails, and confirm it before the owner leaves town.
The visit
Fresh food and water, the litter box scooped, a look at the cat and a few minutes of play or a brush. You note anything off, like a skipped meal or a hidden cat, so the owner hears it from you first.
The update
A photo and two lines in the app after every visit. Owners who cannot see their cat for a week live on those messages, and a sitter who sends them without being asked is the one they rebook.
