Local know-how pays off in Nampa
Ten afternoons a year clear 100 at the Nampa gauge, and August gives back 0.20 inches of rain, so an indoor cat rides the heat out on the AC. Winter runs the other way. Nampa holds 132 nights below freezing and 13 days that never rise above it, with a December normal low of 23. A visit then reads the thermostat and refills the water.
When demand peaks
Boise Airport sits 17 miles east of Nampa. Its 2025 passenger count reached 5,229,399, up from 4,990,885 the year before. Cat bookings here stack around the College of Western Idaho breaks, November 22 to 28 and March 14 to 20. The longest stays land in the gap between December 12 and January 19.
Know your Nampa areas
Greenhurst Estates and Willow Creek anchor the south end, two miles apart on one round. Downtown Nampa is the block where two clients share a sidewalk. Owners hold 27,478 of the city's 39,134 occupied homes, so a key comes off a front porch rather than a lobby desk.
Cat homes in Nampa
Nampa's cat clients live in houses. Of 40,529 homes, 30,425 are detached and just 2,900 stand in apartment blocks of five units or more. Renters hold 11,656 of the 39,134 occupied homes. A July normal high of 93 keeps indoor cats on the AC.
Bilingual owners book faster
Expect Spanish in your inbox. Nampa counts 14,939 Spanish speakers at home among 102,627 residents aged five and over, and limited English is reported by 5,071 of them. A sitter who trades messages in Spanish reaches that part of the city directly.
What a cat sitting job in Nampa actually involves
A Nampa cat round is a drive, the way 39,729 of the city's workers already get to work. Downtown Nampa off 1st Street South is the exception, where the grid puts two houses within a short walk. Beyond that the round spreads out, and the gap from Karcher Estates to Park Ridge runs four miles across town.
Keys and access
Most Nampa 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.

Nampa areas that book the most
Cat sitting in Nampa comes from owner-occupied houses in Greenhurst Estates and Willow Creek, whose residents fly out of Boise Airport on the college breaks.
Idaho issues no state business license and licenses no pet sitter or dog walker. Nampa City Code 6-2-16(B) allows a dog in public on a leash of eight feet or less. Section 6-2-20(A)(1)(h) makes it unlawful to keep more than two dogs over six months of age at any one dwelling unit, and 6-2-20(A)(1)(a) requires a city canine license past six months. A home occupation registers under Code 10-1-10. Pet-care income is self-employment, reported on Schedule C.

What Nampa 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 Nampa, 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.
