Local know-how pays off in Plano
Plano sits in a humid subtropical zone where July highs average close to 96°F and January lows drop into the mid-30s°F. Annual rainfall runs near 40 inches, with the heaviest storms in spring and fall. Summer heat pushes most walks to early morning and after sunset, since midday pavement gets hot enough to burn paws.
When demand peaks
Bookings climb during summer travel from June through August, when families leave town for vacation, and again over the Thanksgiving-to-New-Year holidays. Corporate relocations tied to the Legacy business district, home to campuses like Toyota and JPMorgan, keep boarding and daytime walks steady year round.
Know your Plano areas

Texas does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level. Plano does not issue a general citywide business license, though a home-based pet-care operation must follow local zoning and home-occupation rules. The city leash ordinance in Chapter 4 requires a dog off its own property to be restrained on a leash no longer than six feet, except inside a city-authorized dog park. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
