Local know-how pays off in Escondido
Escondido sits inland in North County San Diego, so summers run hotter than the coast, with July and August highs near 89 to 90 degrees. Walkers shift routes to early morning and evening in that heat and carry water on the exposed trails around Daley Ranch and Dixon Lake. Winters stay mild, with highs around 68 degrees and roughly 14 inches of rain a year falling mostly between November and March.
When demand peaks
Summer brings the heaviest boarding and daycare demand as families travel in July and August, and the San Diego County Fair season pulls owners out of town. The November and December holidays are the other spike, when overnight boarding and drop-in visits fill up. Steady weekday walking demand comes from commuters heading to nearby employment centers and the Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College calendars.
