Local know-how pays off in Cary
Cary sits in a humid subtropical zone where July highs average near 89°F with heavy afternoon humidity, so summer walks work best before 10 a.m. or after sunset. Winters stay mild with January highs around 50°F and lows near 30°F, and the town picks up about 47 inches of rain a year. Occasional summer thunderstorms and rare winter ice storms are the main days walkers reschedule around.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs when Research Triangle Park tech and pharma workers travel for summer trips and the winter holidays, leaving boarding and daycare booked out well ahead. Tournament weekends at the nearby soccer and baseball complexes and the spring and fall academic breaks at neighboring universities add short bursts of drop-in and walking requests.

Cary's animal ordinance (Chapter 6) requires dogs to be under restraint on a leash or lead whenever they are off the owner's property, with off-leash use allowed only in designated town dog parks.
