Local know-how pays off in Mascouche
The L'Assomption station, the closest ECCC normals site to Mascouche, records January nights at -16.0 and a record low of -40.0. On a night like that the visit opens with the thermostat and a check that the water bowl has not frozen by a drafty patio door. July days reach 26.6, with 4.6 days above 30, so blinds come down in a house left closed.
When owners travel
Exo's Mascouche train line runs Monday to Friday only, with no service on holidays, and carries weekday commuters between Mascouche and downtown Montreal. Evening visits fit around that timetable, and on a statutory holiday, with no train running, the whole day is open for visits.
Know your Mascouche areas
Vieux-Mascouche sits around city hall and the Saint-Henri church, with old houses close enough to do two visits on foot. Mascouche Heights began as a 1914 subdivision. From the old village, homes near the Parc du Grand-Coteau, the town's largest park since it opened in 1999, are a short drive.
Cat homes in Mascouche
Mascouche is a town of houses: the 2021 census counts 11,790 single-detached homes among 19,980 occupied dwellings. A cat sitting visit to a detached house covers every floor the cat can reach, from the litter tray to the food bowl and the windows it watches from.
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 Mascouche 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 Mascouche 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 Mascouche 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.

Drop-in cat visits
CAD 20 to CAD 35 per 20 to 30 minute visit
House sitting
CAD 40 to CAD 65 per night
At the middle of the Mascouche band, CAD 28 a visit, one week with two clients on morning and evening visits is 20 visits and CAD 560. A single ten-day trip from one owner is worth as much on its own.
Mascouche areas you can cover
Alongside its detached houses, Mascouche has 5,470 apartments in low-rise buildings, 27.4% of occupied dwellings in the 2021 census, so some cat sitting visits are to a flat rather than a house.
Mascouche's animal by-law 1142 makes a cat licence optional (article 6), and article 14 caps any dwelling at three animals. Dogs stay on a leash of 1.5 m or less off the owner's lot. 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 Mascouche 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 Mascouche, 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.
