Local know-how pays off in Windsor
Windsor's January record low is minus 29.1, with a wind chill that has read minus 42.4. A furnace that quits in that week freezes pipes before the cat misses a meal, so read the thermostat before the bowl. July days reach 28.3 and the June humidex has touched 52.1, so test the air conditioning before an August trip.
When demand peaks
Windsor cats book around the Greater Essex County school calendar. March Break runs March 15 to 19, 2027, and the holiday break covers December 21 to January 1. The long summer gap opens when elementary classes end on June 29, and twice-daily visits run through July and August.
Know your Windsor areas
Downtown Windsor and Walkerville sit close enough that two key handovers fit into one stop. Riverside holds the waterfront addresses along Riverside Drive East. Forest Glade is out east and takes a drive, so book it beside a Fontainebleau call.
Cat homes in Windsor
Windsor is a house city. Single-detached is the dominant building type across its 94,275 occupied dwellings, and 37 percent of those are rented. Cats here live indoors from December, when the daily mean sits at minus 0.4, through a January that averages minus 3.6.
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 Windsor actually involves
Most Windsor cat calls are a key handover, so ask which door code works after six. By-law 8156 section 9 leaves cats outside the at-large rule, and By-law 245-2004 registers dogs, not cats. A February call is two jobs at once: feed and scoop, then read the thermostat and run a tap, because Windsor nights average minus 6.4 that month.
Keys and access
Most Windsor 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 Windsor 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.
Windsor areas that book the most
Cat sitting in Windsor is twice-daily visits booked by owners away over March Break and the summer, across 94,275 occupied dwellings.
No Ontario licence covers dog walking or pet sitting. Windsor By-law 8156 section 8 bars an animal at large, and a leash over three metres is not control. Section 5(5) holds any premises to three dogs. Dog registration under By-law 245-2004 is voluntary, except for the Dog-at-Risk Registry. 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 Windsor 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 Windsor, 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.
