Local know-how pays off in Newcastle
Newcastle is compact in a way that changes the economics of the job. The inner ring of Cooks Hill, The Junction, Hamilton and Merewether is terrace and small-block housing where yards are short and the daily walk is not optional, and those suburbs sit close enough together that a sitter can move between three bookings on foot. The coast is the other half. Merewether and the beaches along that stretch are what owners name when they search, and a surf-side round in summer has to start early, because the sand is unusable by mid-morning.
When demand peaks
The steady base is weekday and it comes from households that travel for work, whether that is into the Newcastle CBD, out across the Hunter, or down the line toward Sydney. Those dogs are alone for a full day and the midday visit is the booking that repeats every week. Summer adds a second layer as the beach suburbs fill and short-notice requests arrive from people staying nearby. The weekday round is what pays the rent. The summer work is the upside on top of it.
Know your Newcastle areas
Most cat bookings cluster from Merewether and The Junction through Cooks Hill and Hamilton out to New Lambton, Mayfield and Charlestown. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.

Heat and the closed-up house.

Never put a dog tick product on a cat, it can be fatal. The six-week break from mid-December is when these visits book out.
