Local know-how pays off in Oakland
Oakland's mild Mediterranean climate makes year-round walks easy, but inland flatland heat spikes in late summer push midday walks into the early morning, while the hills stay cooler and foggier. Sitters near the bay plan around the afternoon marine layer that rolls in most evenings.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs over summer travel and the December holidays, when boarding and house sitting lead as owners leave town. Drop-in visits and walks stay steady year-round thanks to the commuter base heading into San Francisco.
