A local edge
Local know-how pays off in West Palm Beach

When demand peaks
Winter snowbird season and the holidays bring the busiest stretch, when seasonal residents and tourists arrive. Boarding and drop-in visits climb through winter and spring, while dog walking holds the workweek for year-round residents.
Know your West Palm Beach routes
