When demand peaks
Boarding and house sitting peak around summer travel, the December holidays, and NC State's term breaks, while the steady inflow of new residents and tech commuters keeps midweek dog walking and drop-in visits busy all year.

Raleigh areas that book the most

North Carolina does not license individual pet sitters or dog walkers, so a state permit is not needed for in-home care. The NC Department of Agriculture licenses commercial kennels, so home boarding of several dogs may fall under those rules. Pet-care income is self-employment income reported on Schedule C, with a 1099 once you pass the reporting threshold.
