Local know-how pays off in Charleston
Charleston's coastal summers are long, hot, and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and tidal flooding on low peninsula streets, so sitters plan walks around early mornings, evenings, and the tide chart. Heat-sensitive flat-faced breeds get shorter, shaded outings from June through September.
When demand peaks
Tourism and weddings drive a long spring-through-fall season, peaking around the Cooper River Bridge Run, spring festivals, and summer beach travel, with boarding and house sitting in highest demand. Drop-in visits rise for short holiday getaways.

South Carolina does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level. The City of Charleston requires dogs to be leashed at all times when not in an enclosed or fenced area, with off-leash allowed only in city parks the parks director has posted for voice control. Self-employed sitters report earnings on Schedule C and make quarterly estimated tax payments once over the IRS threshold.
