Local know-how pays off in Rockwall
In a Rockwall summer, a cat visit opens with a thermostat reading. Normal lows at Lavon Dam are 73.2 in July and 73.0 in August, so the AC never gets a night off. Rockwall's own NOAA rain gauge puts May on top at 4.83 inches, with October at 4.52. January averages 15.8 freezing nights, and the check shifts to pipes and the heater.
When demand peaks
Travel weeks in Rockwall come off the Rockwall ISD calendar. Fall break runs October 12 to 16, and Thanksgiving break covers November 23 to 27. Students are out from December 21 through January 4, then spring break runs March 15 to 19. The last day of school is May 25, 2027. Twice-a-day cat visits stack up in those breaks.

Cat homes in Rockwall
Owners hold 13,239 of Rockwall's 18,273 occupied homes, and 15,109 of its 19,328 housing units are detached houses. Section 6-9 leaves cats out of the at-large ban, so an indoor-outdoor cat is legal here. Every cat still needs a city registration permit under section 6-82.
What a cat sitting job in Rockwall actually involves
Cat sitting is a drop-in service, so the cat never leaves home. You let yourself in with a key or a code the owner sets up, spend 20 to 30 minutes on food, water, the litter box and some company, check the place over, and send a photo before you lock up. Owners in Rockwall book it because a cat that stays home stays calm. One traveler booking twice a day for ten days is twenty visits from a single client.
Keys and access
Most Rockwall 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.

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 Rockwall, and mention any medication experience, even with your own cat.
A tidy visit
