FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a business licence to sit pets in Canada?
Small-scale sitting can be reported as self-employment without provincial business registration. Registration is usually only needed once you operate under a business name or exceed local thresholds.
Do I have to register for HST/GST?
Yes, if you exceed CAD 30,000 in pet sitting revenue over four consecutive calendar quarters. Below that threshold, registration is voluntary.
Can I sit in addition to a day job?
Yes. Many Petme sitters fit walks and drop-ins around a day job; boarding works for evenings, weekends, and vacation periods.
How much of each booking do I keep?
Up to 90% of every booking. Petme charges pet owners 0% and keeps a small platform commission on the sitter side. You set your own rate.
How long is a typical visit?
Most drop-ins are 30 minutes. Longer visits (45-60 minutes) are available with most sitters at a higher rate.
What if I need to cancel a visit?
Petme has clear cancellation policies. Communicate as early as possible in the in-app chat; the platform handles the reschedule or refund flow.
