Local know-how pays off in Rethymno
Rethymno runs a Mediterranean pattern: long, hot, dry summers and mild winters. Walkers who move to early-morning and post-sunset routes from June to September, carry water, and use the 5-second pavement test to protect paws keep booking through the heat, while midday-only walkers lose the whole summer.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks hard around Dekapentavgoustos in mid-August, when the cities empty for the islands and villages, and stays high across the summer tourist season; Orthodox Easter and Christmas bring a second wave. Boarding and drop-in visits lead while owners travel; walking and daycare carry the working week in the bigger cities.
Know your Rethymno areas
Most cat bookings cluster Old Town to Arkadi. 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.
Bilingual owners book faster
Owners in Greece search and message mostly in Greek. A sitter whose profile says they work in Greek as well as English is easy for local owners to book, and English helps in island and tourist areas where visiting owners look for care too.
