Local know-how pays off in Surrey
A visit here is a weather check as much as a feed. December brings 15.3 nights at or below freezing, so a sitter runs a tap and reads the thermostat before locking up. January has dropped 111.8 mm in a single day, which is when a basement takes water. July and August each pass 30C on about four days, and the blinds decide the visit.
When demand peaks
March empties the houses: Surrey's spring break runs March 15 to 19, 2027, school closure days carry it to March 25, and classes resume March 30. The December 21 to January 1 shutdown is the other wave, with schools back January 4. Summer bookings start once schools close June 25.
Know your Surrey areas
City Centre and Guildford hold the apartment clusters, so a fob or a lockbox starts the visit and two clients can share one tower. Only 32.8% of Surrey homes are single-detached, and those sit out in Cloverdale and South Surrey, where the visit means a driveway and a drive.
Cat homes in Surrey
Single-detached houses are 32.8% of Surrey's 185,675 occupied private dwellings, so most cats here live behind an apartment or townhouse door. Rain rather than cold keeps them inside, with 252.4 mm falling across 22.2 wet January days.
Bilingual owners book faster
Expect Punjabi in your messages, most of it out of Newton. Across Surrey 122,525 people speak Punjabi most often at home, the city's largest non-official home language, and Newton's population is 58% South Asian.
What a cat sitting job in Surrey 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 Surrey 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 Surrey 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.

Surrey areas that book the most
Cat sitting bookings in Surrey come from City Centre and Guildford apartment households that travel over the March and December school breaks.
British Columbia licenses neither dog walkers nor pet sitters. The Surrey Animal Responsibility Bylaw, 2017, No. 19105 caps any real property at three dogs over eight weeks. Section 7 licenses every dog over three months, and section 37 confines off-leash to designated areas. A home business needs a City licence. 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 Surrey 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 Surrey, 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.
