A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Waco

Waco has a humid subtropical climate with long, hot summers that top 100 degrees and mild winters. Sitters move summer walks to early morning or evening, watch for hot pavement, and keep water on hand during the peak heat.

When demand peaks

Demand tracks the Baylor University calendar, rising over move-in weekends, football Saturdays, and breaks, plus summer and winter-holiday travel. Boarding and house sitting lead during those stretches, while dog walking and drop-in visits carry the workweek.

Know your Waco areas

Most cat bookings cluster Downtown Waco to Woodway. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
