Local know-how pays off in Birmingham
Birmingham summers are long, hot, and humid, with mild winters by national standards. Sitters move dog walks to early morning and after dusk through the June-to-September heat, keep water on hand, and watch for heat stress in heavy-coated and flat-faced breeds.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks over summer travel and the winter holidays, with bumps around University of Alabama at Birmingham game and graduation weekends. Boarding leads during vacation stretches, with drop-in visits steady for working owners through the week.
