A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Quebec City

A night in someone else's house here is a furnace test. February averages -15.7 after dark, and 2.1 nights a year fall past -30. You find the thermostat and the basement shut-off valve on the first evening. March runs a 0.4 high against a -9.3 low. That daily thaw and refreeze glazes the front steps you clear before the owner gets back.

When demand peaks

Owners here travel on the school calendar. The Capitale board schedules no classes between December 21, 2026 and January 5, 2027, so houses sit empty across that stretch. The school year then ends June 23, 2027, and the July and August overnight requests start from there.

Know your Quebec City areas

Sillery and Sainte-Foy sit in a borough where 35.5% of the 48,300 dwellings are single-detached houses (2016 city portrait). An empty one there needs somebody in it overnight, not a twenty-minute drop-in. Owners leave a key, an alarm code, a garage remote and the snow shovel.

Breeds you will meet in Quebec City

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

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.

Where demand is strongest

Quebec City areas that book the most

House sitting in Quebec City is booked by Sillery and Sainte-Foy households who leave a detached home empty and want it lived in overnight.

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.

How much do house sitters earn per night in Quebec City?
House sitting on Petme in Quebec City runs CAD 45 to CAD 75 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Is this a part-time or full-time job in Quebec City?
Neither in the employment sense. You work in Quebec City as a self-employed sitter, so there are no assigned shifts and no minimum hours. Some people take a couple of bookings a week around another job, others fill a full week. You scale it up or down yourself.
What do I need to start pet care work in Quebec City?
You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Owners choose on reviews, availability and a complete profile, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, on your profile.
How do I apply?
Apply through the Petme become a pet sitter page for Canada, then build your profile: the services you want to offer, your own rate for each, and the Quebec City areas you cover. Owners nearby send you booking requests, and you accept or decline each one.
How do I get paid for bookings in Quebec City?
Payment runs through the app rather than cash at the door. Each confirmed Quebec City booking is paid out to your bank account, and you keep up to 90% of what the owner pays. You set the rate for every service yourself.
What does house sitting involve?
You stay in the owner's home and keep their pet's routine: feeding, walks, play, and company overnight, plus basics like mail and plants if asked. Owners book it so their pet stays in familiar surroundings while they travel.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Quebec City?
With house sitting you go to the owner's home; with boarding the pet comes to you. House sitting suits pets that do better in their own space, and it is billed per night the same way.

What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
