Local know-how pays off in London
London nights sit at minus 9.1 through January, so a visit starts at the thermostat and the taps before the bowl. February still drops 38.7 centimetres of snow, and a power cut in that kind of storm is the call that matters. The record low is minus 32.8, set on February 9, 1934. July highs of 26.6 mean the air conditioning gets a look.
When demand peaks
Thames Valley schools break March 15 to 19, 2027, and families book the whole week. The summer stretch is July and August, when London households head for the lake and the cat stays behind. December 21 opens the holiday block, which runs past New Year, and Western's exam period ends December 22.
Know your London areas
Downtown London and Masonville carry the towers, and 37,550 London homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, which puts two fobs inside a single stop. Old North is detached streets beside Western, where keys change hands at the door. White Oaks is the far south and takes a drive.
Cat homes in London
Just under a third of London homes are apartments, 55,350 of the 174,655 occupied in 2021, and another 85,275 are single detached. Snow lies on the ground 25.5 days in January, so the cat stays in and the visit starts at the furnace.
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 London actually involves
A London cat job runs to one visit a day, and two when the overnight low sits near minus 9.1. The stop covers litter and water, then a look at the furnace and the window seals. Downtown London buildings hand over a fob or a lockbox code, while Old North and Byron owners leave a key at the door.
Keys and access
Most London 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.

Zoning By-law Z.-1 section 4.10(12) bars bringing an animal into a dwelling for a home occupation. Pet-care income is self-employment income, reported on form T2125 with your T1 return.

What London 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 London, 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.
