Local know-how pays off in Camden
Camden cat visits in July start with the air conditioning, when Philadelphia International's normal low holds at 69.6 and the high reaches 87.8. September is the wettest month at 4.40 inches, and July follows at 4.38. January brings 22.5 nights at or below freezing, so a winter visit checks the heat and the water bowl.

Know your Camden areas

Cat homes in Camden

Bilingual owners book faster

What a cat sitting job in Camden actually involves
Chapter 188 of Camden's code requires every cat over six months old to be spayed or neutered. The permit that once let an owner keep an unaltered pet was repealed in 2003, and the exceptions left are narrow, such as a vet's written statement that the cat can't have surgery. The same chapter covers feral cats, with a program that traps, neuters, vaccinates, eartips and returns them to where they gather.
Keys and access
Most Camden owners hand over a spare key, a lockbox code or a smart-lock code at the meet-and-greet. Agree where the key lives and how you get in if the code fails, and confirm it before the owner leaves town.
The visit
Fresh food and water, the litter box scooped, a look at the cat and a few minutes of play or a brush. You note anything off, like a skipped meal or a hidden cat, so the owner hears it from you first.
The update
A photo and two lines in the app after every visit. Owners who cannot see their cat for a week live on those messages, and a sitter who sends them without being asked is the one they rebook.

A home-based business needs a city business license and a planning application filed at City Hall. Pet-care income is self-employment, reported on Schedule C.

What Camden owners look for in a cat sitter
Cat owners book on trust more than on price. The profile details below are the ones they ask about.
Comfort with shy cats
Many cats hide from a stranger for the first visit. Owners want to hear that you will sit with the cat, not chase it, and that a hidden cat still gets fed and its box scooped.
Reliability, twice a day
A cat on medication or a diabetic cat needs visits at the same time every day. Say what your schedule can hold in Camden, and mention any medication experience, even with your own cat.
A tidy visit
Litter cleaned properly, nothing left out, doors and windows as you found them, and a message with a photo. Owners come home and look for those signs before they look at anything else.
