Local know-how pays off in Syracuse
Syracuse is the snowiest large city in the country, with roughly 125 inches of lake-effect snow a year blowing in off Lake Ontario, then humid summers. Sitters keep winter walks short and watch for road salt and ice on paws, and break up July outings to avoid midday humidity.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs with the Syracuse University calendar, summer travel, and the winter holidays, plus hospital-shift schedules at Upstate and Crouse that keep weekday drop-ins steady. Boarding and house sitting lead during vacation stretches while dog walking carries the workweek for commuters and students.
