Local know-how pays off in Berkeley
Berkeley has a mild Mediterranean climate with cool, foggy summers off the Bay and mild, wet winters. Temperatures rarely reach extremes, so most dogs walk comfortably year round, though sitters plan around the wettest winter storms.
When demand peaks
Demand follows the University of California calendar, rising over summer travel, winter break, and graduation weekends. Dog walking and drop-in visits carry the workweek for commuters heading into San Francisco and Oakland, while boarding and house sitting lead during holidays.
