House sitting in Kitchener

A sitter in your Kitchener home, on your pets' routine

Kitchener owners who travel for work or family can have a sitter move into the house instead of sending the pets elsewhere. The sitter stays overnight and keeps feeding, walks, litter and medication on your schedule. Whether your home is in Downtown Kitchener, Belmont Village or Doon, the sitter comes to you. With long cold winters, it also helps to have mail brought in and lights kept on so the house looks lived-in. Every sitter's ID is verified, and you can message them in the Petme app and arrange a meet and greet before booking. Nightly rates run CAD 45 to 75, and the Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
