A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Burnaby

Burnaby swings hard between a long freezing winter and a short hot summer. Sitters who work salted sidewalks and short daylight in January, wipe grit off paws before handing a dog back, and move to early mornings and evenings when the pavement is too hot in July are the ones owners keep rebooking. Fair-weather sitters lose their regulars by February.

When demand peaks

Demand peaks three times a year: March break, the July and August holidays when families head to the cottage, and the December holidays. Boarding and house sitting lead while owners are away; dog walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the working week year round.

Know your Burnaby routes

Most bookings cluster Metrotown to Lougheed. Owners look for walkers who know the local parks and leash rules, and who can turn up on a regular schedule.

Breeds you will meet in Burnaby

Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, French Bulldog. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

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.
