Caring for your dog in Fayetteville

Southern heat, humid summers, and military lifestyle tips

Hot, humid summers

Fayetteville summers are hot and sticky. Walk dogs before 9am or after 7pm and always carry fresh water.

Military schedule flexibility

Duty hours and deployments can change without notice. Communicate schedule changes to your sitter early.

Tick and heartworm season

Year-round warm temperatures mean tick and heartworm risk is real. Keep prevention up to date.

River safety

The Cape Fear River has currents. Keep dogs leashed near water unless you know the area is safe.
