Local know-how pays off in Houston
Gulf humidity pushes the heat index past 105°F from May through September, and asphalt burns paws by mid-morning. Houston sitters walk at dawn and after dusk, carry water on every outing, and track named-storm season from June to November.
When demand peaks
Energy-sector business travel and the summer vacation window drive boarding demand, with a second peak over the winter holidays. Hurricane-evacuation windows create short-notice boarding and house-sitting requests across the metro.
