Local know-how pays off in Reno
Reno sits in a high desert with hot, dry summer afternoons and cold, snowy winters off the Sierra. Sitters walk dogs early morning or after sunset in July and August to keep paws off baking pavement, and shift to midday outings during winter cold snaps.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs in summer when owners head to Lake Tahoe and on holiday weekends, and again around the University of Nevada calendar. Boarding and house sitting lead during travel-heavy stretches, with dog walking steady year-round for desk-bound professionals.
Know your Reno routes
