A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Surrey

Guest dogs arrive wet through the late autumn. November brings 249.0 mm across 21.4 days, so towels by the back door are the job. October adds 180.0 mm over 18.0 days before it. The cold arrives later, and February has hit -12.4C, while July 2009 set the record at 37.6C.

When demand peaks

Long weekends set the booking pattern in Surrey. Good Friday falls on Friday, March 26, 2027, and Victoria Day on Monday, May 24. Canada Day lands midweek that year, on Thursday, July 1. The run closes on Labour Day, Monday, September 6. The Employment Standards Act lists all four as statutory holidays.

Know your Surrey areas

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.

Where demand is strongest

Surrey areas that book the most

Pet sitting bookings in Surrey come from Newton households, and South Surrey owners add the long weekend stays around Family Day and Victoria Day.

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. The Surrey code caps one address at 3 animals (Surrey Animal Responsibility Bylaw). Your own dogs count.
