Local know-how pays off in Dalkeith
Dalkeith has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.
When owners travel
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.
Know your Dalkeith areas
Most bookings cluster Eskbank to Newbattle. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Dalkeith
