Local know-how pays off in Sunrise
A Sunrise cat's summer rides on the air conditioning holding. The city keeps a 90 degree high right through July and August, September pours 8.02 inches of rain and October follows with 7.37. The hurricane season here holds from June 1 through November 30, so an outage check belongs in every visit. January nights fall to 60.9.
When demand peaks
Travel windows follow the Broward school calendar, with winter break from December 21 through January 1, then spring break on March 22. Sunrise Lakes is a 55-plus community, so its four phases carry no school dates and book across the rest of the year. Twice-a-day visits stack up through those weeks.
Know your Sunrise areas
Sunrise Lakes holds the city's biggest run of condos, with Phase 3 alone at more than 3,000 units across 93 buildings. Welleby and Springtree carry rented homes nearby, and 11,221 of the city's 35,979 occupied units are rented. A visit in those buildings starts at a lobby door.
Cat homes in Sunrise
Sunrise stacks its cats in condos. 16,012 of the city's 40,030 homes sit in buildings of ten units or more, against 14,824 detached houses. Indoor cats here run on the air conditioning, and a Sunrise Lakes unit warms up fast once the power drops.
Bilingual owners book faster
Sunrise owners will write to you in Spanish, and care notes come back the same way. Of the city's 92,685 people aged five or older, 29,525 speak Spanish at home and 13,971 of them have limited English. Another 7,965 speak French or Haitian Creole.
What a cat sitting job in Sunrise actually involves
Sunrise cat jobs run twice a day, morning and evening. 13,506 homes in the city sit in buildings of 20 units or more, so a visit means a gate code and a lobby door before you reach the cat. A lockbox by the front door is the normal handover, and parking is by decal in the older phases.
Keys and access
Most Sunrise 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.

Drop-in cat visits
$17 to $40 per 20 to 30 minute visit
Cat work pays in repetition, not in single big tickets. Two clients in Sunrise away for a work week, each on two visits a day at $29, is 20 visits and $580 before cashback. If the two homes sit in one neighborhood, that is a short round twice a day.
Sunrise areas that book the most
Cat sitting in Sunrise comes from the Sunrise Lakes condo phases and from Welleby renters who leave town over the Broward school breaks.
No Florida license covers pet sitting or dog walking. Sunrise code 4-4 keeps dogs out of city parks, except Welleby Park, on a non-retractable six-foot leash and a current rabies tag. The land development code calls four or more dogs over four months old a kennel, and section 16-80 lists kennels as an I-1 industrial use. Section 16-81 allows a home occupation in residential districts with a city business tax receipt in hand. Pet-care income is self-employment, reported on Schedule C.

What Sunrise 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 Sunrise, 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.
