Local know-how pays off in Indianapolis
Indianapolis runs humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Sitters shift July walks to early morning, rinse road salt off paws from December to February, and keep outings short in a deep freeze.
When demand peaks
Indy 500 month is the calendar anchor: race weekend in late May can push boarding demand to two or three times normal as locals leave the city, and experienced sitters block it months ahead. Summer, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays layer on top, with steady mid-week boarding from pharma-industry business travel.
