Local know-how pays off in Quebec City
January nights average -16.7 in the 1991-2020 normals, and 10.8 of them drop below -20, so a visit starts at the thermostat and a running tap. At the end of January the ground still carries 46 cm of snow, so you clear the walkway before you reach the door. July is mild at a 25.0 high, and the 2.0 days above 30 are about water and air conditioning.
When demand peaks
The Capitale school board breaks March 1 to 5, 2027, the same week Université Laval reads, so those five days book first. The December holidays come next, after the fall session ends December 11, 2026. Summer requests open once Laval classes stop April 23 and the cottage weeks begin.
Know your Quebec City areas
Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Montcalm are apartment blocks behind a lobby door, and 45.5% of Quebec City dwellings are flats under five storeys. Keys and entry codes change hands there, so several visits sit inside a few streets. Sillery households book the longer trips.
Cat homes in Quebec City
Apartments in buildings under five storeys are 45.5% of Quebec City dwellings, against 30.4% single-detached (2021 Census). That is a lot of indoor cats behind a lobby door. January nights average -16.7, so a visit is a heat check as much as a food check.
Bilingual owners book faster
Write your listing in French, because that is the language the messages arrive in. The 2021 census counts 491,515 Quebec City residents with French alone as a mother tongue, against 7,690 for English. One English line at the end covers the rest.
What a cat sitting job in Quebec City 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 Quebec City 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 Quebec City 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 Quebec City 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.
Quebec City areas that book the most
Cat sitting requests in Quebec City come from the apartment blocks of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Old Quebec, where the household travels and the cat stays home.
Quebec licenses no dog walkers or pet sitters. By-law R.V.Q. 2698 sets a maximum leash length of 1.85 metres at all times (article 14). A dog owner must obtain a city permis de garde within 30 days of acquiring the dog (article 36). Minding pets at home for pay is a use associated with a dwelling under zoning by-law R.V.Q. 1400, capped at four pets by article 174, and the city requires a certificat d'autorisation for it. 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 Quebec City 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 Quebec City, 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.
