Local know-how pays off in Newark
Newark sees hot, humid summers and cold winters with snow, so sitters shift walks to early morning and evening in the heat and keep winter outings short and well salted. Dense rowhouse and apartment blocks make midday drop-in visits common.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks during summer travel and the winter holidays, with weekday walking and drop-in visits steady for commuters heading into Manhattan. Boarding and house sitting rise around major travel weekends and through nearby Newark Liberty airport trips.
