Local know-how pays off in New Braunfels
Thermostat first, bowl second, on a New Braunfels visit in summer. The August day normal is 94.6 degrees and the August night holds 71.3, so a shut house climbs quickly once the AC is off. May is the wettest month here at 3.63 inches, which makes a look for water indoors part of the stop. January nights at 36.9 turn the same check to the heater.
When demand peaks
Travel out of New Braunfels follows NBISD. The district closes December 21 through January 1 and again for spring break, March 8 to 12, and those are the weeks twice-a-day visits stack up. Wurstfest, November 6 to 15 at Landa Park, fills the city instead of emptying it.

What a cat sitting job in New Braunfels actually involves
Section 6-26 requires a license for any cat over three months old and a tag on a fitted collar. Section 6-51(a) makes it unlawful to let a cat roam past the owner's premises, so the animals stay in and the visit is the whole of their day. The one carve-out is a feral cat in an approved trap, neuter and return colony.
Keys and access
Most New Braunfels 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.
