Local know-how pays off in Laval
A winter visit starts at the thermostat and the taps. January nights average -13.5 and 6.7 of them fall under -20, so a furnace fault shows within hours. Median snow depth reaches 14 cm at the end of February, and the walkway needs clearing before you reach the cat. July delivers 4.0 days above 30, when the job is water and the air conditioning.
When demand peaks
The Centre de services scolaire de Laval breaks March 1 to 5, 2027, and Collège Montmorency runs its catch-up days that same week, so travel stacks into five days. December fills next, with college classes ending December 15, 2026. Summer requests open once the winter session closes May 20, 2027.
Know your Laval areas
Chomedey and Pont-Viau hold the low-rise flats, 51,730 of them across the city, so several visits fit inside a few streets and one round of lobby codes. Sainte-Rose and Auteuil sit at the north end, where a key handover means a drive across the island.
Cat homes in Laval
Laval is mostly houses. The 2021 census counts 76,010 single-detached dwellings against 51,730 apartments in buildings under five storeys, and 47,405 one-person households. Cats stay in from the October 14 first frost, and a January night at -13.5 turns a visit into a heat check.
Bilingual owners book faster
Write your listing in French and keep your visit notes that way. The 2021 census counts 226,675 Laval residents with French as their only mother tongue against 34,175 for English, and 262,055 who can hold a conversation in both.
What a cat sitting job in Laval actually involves
Cat sitting is a drop-in service, so the cat never leaves home. You let yourself in with a key or a code the owner sets up, spend 20 to 30 minutes on food, water, the litter box and some company, check the place over, and send a photo before you lock up. Owners in Laval book it because a cat that stays home stays calm. One traveler booking twice a day for ten days is twenty visits from a single client.
Keys and access
Most Laval 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.

Cat work pays in repetition, not in single big tickets. Two clients in Laval away for a work week, each on two visits a day at CAD 31, is 20 visits and CAD 620. If the two homes sit in one neighborhood, that is a short round twice a day.
Laval areas that book the most
Cat sitting in Laval is booked by low-rise apartment households, 51,730 dwellings across the island, and by the 47,405 homes the census counts as one person.
Quebec licenses no dog walkers or pet sitters. Laval by-law L-12430 requires a leash of 1.85 metres or less in public (article 48). Article 10 requires a permit and a city tag for each dog and cat within 30 days. Article 22 caps a dwelling at four animals and two dogs. Pet-care income is self-employment income, reported on form T2125 with your T1 return. GST/HST registration is required once taxable revenue passes the CAD 30,000 small-supplier threshold in four consecutive quarters. In Quebec the same threshold applies to QST.

What Laval owners look for in a cat sitter
Cat owners book on trust more than on price. The profile details below are the ones they ask about.
Comfort with shy cats
Many cats hide from a stranger for the first visit. Owners want to hear that you will sit with the cat, not chase it, and that a hidden cat still gets fed and its box scooped.
Reliability, twice a day
A cat on medication or a diabetic cat needs visits at the same time every day. Say what your schedule can hold in Laval, and mention any medication experience, even with your own cat.
A tidy visit
Litter cleaned properly, nothing left out, doors and windows as you found them, and a message with a photo. Owners come home and look for those signs before they look at anything else.
