Local know-how pays off in Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi has a humid subtropical climate with long, hot summers that push into the mid-90s and overnight lows near 80, plus a June-to-November hurricane season. Sitters walk before 9am or after sunset in July and August to keep paws off hot pavement, carry water on the Ocean Drive bay path, and keep a storm plan for boarded dogs when a system enters the Gulf.
When demand peaks
Demand builds over summer when families head to Padre Island and Mustang Island beaches, over the winter holidays, and around Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and Corpus Christi Army Depot rotations that move service families in and out. Boarding and house sitting lead during travel weeks, while dog walking and drop-in visits carry the workweek for port, refinery, and hospital shift workers.
