Local know-how pays off in Greenville
Greenville has a humid subtropical climate with hot, sticky summers where highs sit in the upper 80s and 90s and humidity hangs near 70 percent, plus mild winters that rarely see more than a dusting of snow. Walkers shift outings to early morning or evening in July and August to keep paws off hot pavement, and can keep a near year-round schedule through the short, gentle winters.
When demand peaks
Boarding and house sitting spike around summer travel and the winter holidays, while the Furman University, Bob Jones University, and Greenville Technical College calendars add moving-week demand. Weekday walking and drop-ins stay steady from downtown professionals and the large hospital and manufacturing workforce at Prisma Health Upstate, Michelin, and the GE turbine plant.

South Carolina does not license pet sitters or dog walkers. The City of Greenville requires a business license for anyone operating a business inside the city, and its leash ordinance requires dogs to be leashed anywhere off the owner's private property, including parks and the Swamp Rabbit Trail; Paris Mountain State Park caps the leash at six feet. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
