Local know-how pays off in Montgomery
Montgomery has a humid subtropical climate with long, muggy summers where August highs sit near 93 degrees at close to 76 percent humidity, and mild winters that only occasionally dip below freezing. Sitters walk dogs at dawn or after sunset in July and August to keep paws off hot pavement and watch for heat stress, then take advantage of the mild winters for full midday outings.
When demand peaks
Travel demand climbs over the summer and the winter holidays, and PCS-driven moves tied to Maxwell Air Force Base, Gunter Annex, and Air University create steady turnover of pet owners year-round. Boarding and house sitting lead when families travel, while dog walking and drop-in visits carry the workweek for state government workers, Hyundai plant employees, Baptist Health staff, and students at Alabama State University, Auburn University at Montgomery, and Troy University.
