A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Surrey

An overnight stay here is a rain job with someone else's furnace attached. December normals run a high of 6.1C and a low of 0.1C, with 214.1 mm falling over 21.8 days, so the sump and the gutters matter more than the thermostat. Cold snaps still arrive, and December 26, 1996 hit -16.3C. On a snow morning the sidewalk outside the house is yours by 10 a.m.

When demand peaks

Owners leave through YVR, which passed 26.9 million travellers in 2025, an all time record. The airport forecast an average of 85,300 a day between June 12 and September 8, 7.6 million over the season. Shorter stays land on the BC Day Monday of August 3, 2026 and the Thanksgiving Monday of October 12, 2026.

Know your Surrey areas

Fraser Heights is zoned for large single family homes above the Fraser River, with Highway 1 along its south edge, so an empty house there needs someone in it rather than a short visit. Ocean Park runs out to the water on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, where a stay means a key and a driveway.

Breeds you will meet in Surrey

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

Expect Punjabi in your messages, most of it out of Newton. Across Surrey 122,525 people speak Punjabi most often at home, the city's largest non-official home language, and Newton's population is 58% South Asian.

Where demand is strongest

Surrey areas that book the most

House sitting in Surrey is booked by Fraser Heights and Ocean Park households who leave the place empty overnight and want the walk cleared by morning.

British Columbia licenses neither dog walkers nor pet sitters. The Surrey Animal Responsibility Bylaw, 2017, No. 19105 caps any real property at three dogs over eight weeks. Section 7 licenses every dog over three months, and section 37 confines off-leash to designated areas. A home business needs a City licence. 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 Surrey

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

How much do house sitters earn per night in Surrey?
House sitting on Petme in Surrey 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 Surrey?
Neither in the employment sense. You work in Surrey 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 Surrey?
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 Surrey areas you cover. Owners nearby send you booking requests, and you accept or decline each one.
How do I get paid for bookings in Surrey?
Payment runs through the app rather than cash at the door. Each confirmed Surrey 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 Surrey?
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 Surrey?
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 Cloverdale or South Surrey. 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 Cloverdale or South Surrey.
What does a house sitting job near me in Surrey include in December?
The overnight stay in the owner's home, and the outdoor work a wet December brings. Rain falls on 21.8 days that month, 214.1 mm of it, and Surrey asks the property owner to clear the adjacent sidewalk by 10 a.m. A house sitting stay in Fleetwood takes that on.
