Local know-how pays off in Moncton
A January furnace failure in Moncton is a pipe problem before it is a cat problem. The month averages minus 13.3 overnight and has read minus 30.9 inside the current normals. Check the thermostat before the bowl, then run a tap. August passes 30 degrees on 2.4 days, so test the air conditioning in a Downtown Moncton flat before a summer trip.
When demand peaks
Université de Moncton empties twice and the cats stay behind. Mid-session study days run October 26 to 30, 2026, which is the first block of week-long visits. Fall exams end December 21 and winter classes do not start until January 11, 2027. That gap is the longest on the calendar and the coldest stretch of the year.
Know your Moncton areas
Downtown Moncton and Lewisville are the key-handover addresses, close enough that two flats fit one stop. Apartments under five storeys are 10,595 of Moncton's 35,115 occupied homes, and that is where the indoor cats live. Caledonia and Mapleton take a drive.
Cat homes in Moncton
Moncton counted 35,115 occupied homes in 2021: 14,765 single-detached and 10,595 apartments under five storeys. Those flats hold the indoor cats. January nights average minus 13.3, so a Moncton cat stays in from December to March.
Bilingual owners book faster
Expect booking messages in French. In 2021, 21,375 Moncton residents gave French as their only mother tongue against 45,765 for English, and the city's call centres hire on that bilingual base. Answer in the language the owner opens with.
What a cat sitting job in Moncton actually involves
Most Moncton cat calls are a key handover at an apartment door, so ask which buzzer code works after six. A winter visit is two jobs at once: feed and scoop, then read the thermostat and run a tap, because six January nights sit under minus 20. By-law H-1322 licenses dogs, not cats, so there is no tag to check on a cat call.
Keys and access
Most Moncton 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.

Moncton areas that book the most
Cat sitting in Moncton comes from the flats, where apartments under five storeys are 10,595 of the city's 35,115 occupied homes.
New Brunswick licenses no dog walker or pet sitter. Moncton's Animal Control By-law H-1322 calls a dog running at large when it is off a leash of three metres or less in a public place, and section 8(1) puts that on the owner. Section 2 requires a licence for every dog unless the dog carries a microchip, and H-1322 sets no cap on dogs per dwelling. 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.

What Moncton 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 Moncton, 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.
