Local know-how pays off in College Station
A College Station cat visit starts at the thermostat. August runs a normal high of 96.6 with 8.6 afternoons over 100, so the AC carries the house. October is the wettest month at 4.93 inches, out of 41.75 across the year. Winter is short here, with 16 freezing nights and 5.9 of them in January.
When demand peaks

What a cat sitting job in College Station actually involves
College Station's at-large rule covers cats too. Section 6-80 bars a cat from being at large in the city, so visits stay indoors. Section 6-78 requires every cat over four months to be vaccinated and to carry a Brazos County tag. Section 6-79 caps a dwelling unit at four dogs and cats over six months without a multiple pet permit, which is why multi-cat homes here hold at four.
Keys and access
Most College Station 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.

What College Station 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 College Station, 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.
