Walkers head out early in the morning or after the evening storms pass in July and August, carry water, and watch for heat stress in flat-faced dogs on the muggiest days.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs around the LSU and Southern University calendars, home football weekends, and the winter holidays, with a second lift during hurricane-season evacuations when owners need last-minute care.
