A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Saskatoon

An overnight stay in December means holding a house through a mean low of -16.2C, with daytime highs near -7.5C. That month alone drops 11.9 cm of snow, so the driveway and the public sidewalk both get cleared before the owner is back. Summer stays are lighter work. July nights sit around 12.6C, and the watering matters more than the weather.

When demand peaks

July and August empty the most houses. YXE moved 1.517 million passengers in 2025, about 3 percent more than the year before and its second busiest year on record. The Saskatchewan Day long weekend of August 3, 2026, and Thanksgiving on October 12, 2026, fill the shorter stays.

Know your Saskatoon areas

Silverspring is 90% owner occupied, and 78% of its 1,697 dwellings are single family. A trip away there leaves a whole house standing empty rather than a locked apartment. Lawson Heights is older stock, 62% of it built between 1961 and 1980. Those stays come with a driveway to clear by morning.

Breeds you will meet in Saskatoon

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.

Saskatoon areas that book the most

Most house sitting in Saskatoon comes off detached streets like Silverspring and Lawson Heights, where an empty home needs somebody in it overnight.

Saskatchewan licenses neither dog walkers nor pet sitters. Saskatoon's Animal Control Bylaw 7860 requires a licence for every cat and dog over four months (section 5) and bans dogs at large off your property. Off-leash areas cap four dogs per owner. Care of animals is a prohibited home-based business. 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.

Common questions

House sitting jobs in Saskatoon

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Saskatoon.

How much do house sitters earn per night in Saskatoon?
House sitting on Petme in Saskatoon runs CAD 45 to CAD 75 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
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 Saskatoon areas you cover. Owners nearby send you booking requests, and you accept or decline each one.
How do I get paid for bookings in Saskatoon?
Payment runs through the app rather than cash at the door. Each confirmed Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon?
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.
Can I choose which house sitting jobs I accept in Saskatoon?
Yes. You review each home and pet, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. You set your nightly rate and your available dates, whether the home is in Riversdale or Nutana. No assigned bookings and no minimum nights.
What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
The Petme Protection Plan offers up to CAD 32,000 for eligible vet costs for the pet in your care, subject to its terms. The same terms apply whether you stay in Riversdale or Nutana.
Is this a part-time or full-time job in Saskatoon?
Neither in the employment sense. You work in Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon?
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.
When do house sitting jobs in Saskatoon come with snow clearing?
Winter stays, and the deadline is short. Bylaw 8463 section 5(1) gives a Saskatoon property 48 hours to clear the sidewalk beside it, and December alone brings 11.9 cm of snow. A house sitting stay in those weeks covers the shovel, and section 7(1) puts the snow onto private property.
