Local know-how pays off in Vancouver
Vancouver runs a warm-summer Mediterranean climate with about 42 inches of rain a year and only 2.8 inches of snow, so walking is a year-round service and rain gear matters more than a seasonal schedule. The exceptions are the silver-thaw freezing-rain events that arrive every few winters and briefly stop everything, and the short run of genuinely hot days in July and August.
When demand peaks
The cross-river commute shapes the weekday. A large share of Vancouver residents work in Portland, crossing two bridges that carried nearly 300,000 weekday vehicle trips in 2017, so days away from home are long and midday walks and drop-ins are the core booking. PeaceHealth is the largest local employer with shift patterns that add evening demand. Boarding peaks over summer, Thanksgiving and December.
Know your Vancouver areas
Most bookings cluster Downtown Vancouver to Salmon Creek. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
