Local know-how pays off in Hialeah
Hialeah has a tropical climate with summer highs near 90 to 91 degrees F from June through September and high humidity most of the day. The wet season runs May to October and drops close to 61 inches of rain a year, much of it in afternoon thunderstorms, so walkers shift routes to early morning or dusk and carry towels. Winter is mild with highs in the mid 70s and lows around 60 degrees F, the easiest stretch for midday walks.
When demand peaks
Winter from November through April brings seasonal residents and holiday travelers to South Florida, which lifts boarding and drop-in bookings. Summer vacation travel adds a second wave of overnight and daycare requests. Hurricane season from June through November also drives short-notice care when families leave town ahead of storms.

Florida does not license or certify pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level. The City of Hialeah requires every business operating in the city, including home-based ones, to hold a local Business Tax Receipt before starting work. Miami-Dade County's leash law under Section 5-20 makes it unlawful to let a dog be unrestrained or at large off the owner's property, so dogs must be leashed and under control in public areas. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
