Why part-time works

Pet care fits part-time better than most work

Short visits, close to home, at the times owners are out. That is the whole reason this fits around a job, a course or a shift pattern.

Hours you actually have

You mark the times you are free and owners book into them. Most visits run 30 to 60 minutes, so evenings, weekends and the gap before pickup all work.

You set every rate

The price the owner sees is the one you set. Petme charges owners 0%, and sitter cashback pushes your take-home toward 90% of each booking.

Work close to home

Part-time works best on a short local loop. Cover the areas you already know and you fit more visits into the same hours, with no commute eating the gap.

CAD 32,000 Protection Plan

Every confirmed booking includes up to CAD 32,000 in emergency Protection Plan for the pet in your care, at no extra cost to you or the owner.

FAQ

Part-time pet care jobs in Canada

Can I work with pets part-time in Canada?
Yes. There is no rota and no minimum hours on Petme: you open the times you can actually cover and decline anything that does not fit. Walks and drop-in visits run 30 to 60 minutes, so they sit inside a lunch break or the gap before the school run.
How many hours a week do I have to commit to?
None are required. You decide how many bookings you accept, and your profile stays live in a week you take nothing at all. Plenty of sitters run one or two regular walks a week and nothing more.
When is part-time pet care busiest?
Weekday mornings and early evenings, when owners are out at work, plus weekends and school holidays. Those are the slots worth opening first, because that is when the requests actually arrive.
How much can I earn part-time in Canada?
You set the rate for every service you offer, and the price the owner sees is the one you set. Petme charges owners 0%, and sitter cashback pushes your take-home toward 90% of each booking.
Do I need experience to start?
No formal qualification is needed, though you do need to genuinely know animals. Owners judge your profile, your photos and your first reviews, and most sitters earn those first reviews from neighbours nearby.
What happens if a pet needs a vet during a booking?
Every confirmed booking includes up to CAD 32,000 of emergency Protection Plan for the pet in your care, at no extra cost to you or the owner. Bookings, messages and payment all run through the app.
