A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Windsor

An overnight in someone else's Windsor house is winter work from December. January brings 9.9 nights below minus 10 and 27 nights at or under freezing, so you sleep in a house whose heating you did not set. Freezing rain falls on 2.1 days that month, and December drops 29.9 cm of snow onto the driveway you hand back. July nights sit at 18.0, the warmest overnight normal.

When demand peaks

Windsor owners leave the house overnight on long weekends and university breaks. The University of Windsor's fall Reading Week runs October 10 to 18, 2026. Family Day falls on Monday February 15, 2027, and Victoria Day on May 24, 2027. Canada Day lands on a Thursday in 2027, July 1, which stretches to four nights away.

Know your Windsor areas

Old Walkerville is Hiram Walker's model town of large houses and wide streets, annexed to Windsor in 1935, so a stay there hands over a key and a driveway. South Walkerville names its streets for World War I battles, Ypres and Amiens among them. East Riverside only began building in 1995, a drive from both.

Breeds you will meet in Windsor

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.

Common questions

House sitting jobs in Windsor

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

How much do house sitters earn per night in Windsor?
House sitting on Petme in Windsor runs CAD 45 to CAD 75 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
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 Windsor?
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 Windsor?
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 Walkerville or Old Walkerville. 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 Walkerville or Old Walkerville.
Is this a part-time or full-time job in Windsor?
Neither in the employment sense. You work in Windsor 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 Windsor?
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 Windsor areas you cover. Owners nearby send you booking requests, and you accept or decline each one.
How do I get paid for bookings in Windsor?
Payment runs through the app rather than cash at the door. Each confirmed Windsor 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.
When do overnight house sitting jobs in Windsor pick up?
On the long weekends and the university breaks. The University of Windsor's fall Reading Week runs October 10 to 18, 2026, and Family Day lands on February 15, 2027, so house sitting stays in Windsor fill around those dates. A winter stay adds the sidewalk, which the City gives you 12 hours to clear.
