Local know-how pays off in Boston
Winter road salt and brick-paver cobblestones tear up paws between December and March. Boston sitters carry paw balm and rinse between blocks. January and February nor'easters trigger short-notice boarding cancellations and last-minute rebookings.
When demand peaks
University move-in (late August) and move-out (mid-May) drive the biggest cat-sitting surges as students leave town with cats they can't take. Marathon Monday weekend (third Monday in April), Thanksgiving, and Christmas-to-New-Year are the dominant boarding peaks. Red Sox night games and Bruins playoffs lift walk demand around Fenway and the North End.
