Local know-how pays off in Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem has a humid subtropical climate: hot, sticky summers with July highs near 88 degrees and cold winters that bring occasional snow and ice in December and January. Sitters walk dogs in the early morning or after sunset through the July and August humidity, and shorten outings on icy winter mornings.
When demand peaks
Demand rises over summer travel and the winter holidays, and around move-in and move-out weeks tied to Wake Forest University and the medical center's rotations. Boarding and house sitting lead during vacation stretches, while dog walking and drop-in visits carry the workweek for staff at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and the Innovation Quarter.
