Toledo runs through cold, snowy winters at the west end of Lake Erie, with lake-effect snow and ice from December into February, and warm, humid summers that push into the 90s. Sitters salt and shorten routes during January storms and shift dog walks to cooler morning and evening hours through the muggy July stretch.
Demand climbs over the winter holidays and summer travel, with the University of Toledo calendar and steady healthcare and manufacturing shifts keeping weekday walking and drop-ins busy. Boarding and house sitting lead during vacation windows, while dog walking carries the workweek for owners on shift schedules at ProMedica, Mercy Health, and the Jeep assembly complex.
