Local know-how pays off in Round Rock
A Round Rock cat visit in August starts at the thermostat. Normal highs reach 97, and 20 afternoons a year pass 100. The city gets 28 freezing nights a year, 10 of them in January. A cold snap then makes the heat check part of the visit. May is the wettest month at 4.67 inches.
When demand peaks
Round Rock ISD sets the travel calendar for most households. Fall break runs November 23 to 27, 2026, and winter break runs December 21 to January 1. Spring break is March 15 to 19, 2027, and classes end May 27. Those weeks stack twice-a-day visits across Sonoma and Settlers Crossing.
Know your Round Rock areas
Sonoma and Settlers Crossing are zoned SF2 end to end, 320 and 89 acres of detached houses. Cats there live behind a front door, so the visit starts with a key or a lockbox. Mesa Park runs the other way, with 28 acres zoned MF-2 across two tracts.

What a cat sitting job in Round Rock actually involves
Section 8-201 exempts cats from any leash rule. The same section makes a cat that strays onto someone else's property a public nuisance, so Round Rock visits stay indoors. Section 8-162 requires a microchip on any cat over four months old. The owner's chip number and vet name belong in the handover notes.
Keys and access
Most Round Rock 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.

No Texas license covers pet sitters or dog walkers, and the state requires no general business license. Round Rock's animal code makes it unlawful for any animal to be at large. Section 8-2 defines that as off the owner's property and not on a leash. Section 8-5 sets no dog count, only a ban on numbers that become a public nuisance. Dogs and cats over four months must be microchipped. Pet-care income is self-employment, reported on Schedule C.

What Round Rock 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 Round Rock, 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.
