Local know-how pays off in Chandler
Chandler sits in the Sonoran Desert, where July highs average around 105 degrees and the city gets only about 9 inches of rain a year. Walkers here shift routes to sunrise and after-dusk hours in summer, carry water on every outing, and check that asphalt is cool enough for paws. Winters are mild, with December highs near 66 degrees, so midday walks work through most of the cooler months.
When demand peaks
Winter brings snowbirds and part-year residents from October through April, which lifts drop-in and boarding demand around the holidays and the Cactus League spring training weeks. Summer runs the other way, as local families travel to escape the heat and book boarding and daycare while they are gone. Requests around Chandler's large tech employers stay steady year round.
