A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Overland Park

Overland Park has a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. July highs sit near 90 degrees F with high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, while January lows drop close to 20 degrees F and the area sees roughly 14 inches of snow a year. Walkers shift to early-morning and evening routes in the July heat and keep visits short on icy January mornings.

When demand peaks

Demand rises around summer travel from June through August, when families leave for vacation and need daily walks or drop-ins. Winter holidays from late November through the New Year bring a second spike as owners travel, and the Blue Valley and Shawnee Mission school calendars shift daytime daycare and midday-walk requests.
