Local know-how pays off in Dublin
Cat visits in July and August start with the air conditioning, since normal highs sit near 88 and about 11 afternoons a year reach 100. Check that the unit is running before feeding. Winter brings the other job: 19 frosty nights a year and nearly 3 inches of January rain, so windows and heat get a look too.
When demand peaks
Owners hold 15,866 of Dublin's 24,165 occupied homes, and many are families who travel over school holidays and summer. Those are the weeks when twice-a-day visits stack up. The 1,969 transit commuters near BART add weekend and work-trip bookings.
Know your Dublin areas
Downtown Dublin and the blocks by Dublin/Pleasanton BART hold most of the apartments, so visits there start with a fob and a concierge desk. Positano and Sorrento are single-family streets where owners leave a lockbox code. Tassajara Hills homes sit farther out, so pair visits by route.
Cat homes in Dublin
Cat sitting in Dublin is mostly a house-key job. Detached homes make up 13,627 of the city's 25,157 units, and owners hold 15,866 of 24,165 occupied homes. The 4,120 units in buildings of 50 or more mean a lobby fob or a garage code for the rest.
What a cat sitting job in Dublin actually involves
Section 5.36.030 caps a Dublin home at two cats without an animal fanciers permit, so most jobs are one or two cats. Buildings near BART have lobby fobs and package rooms, so collect the fob at the meet and greet. In Dublin Ranch, confirm the garage or lockbox code before the owner flies out.
Keys and access
Most Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin, 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.
