A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Port St. Lucie

Port St. Lucie sits in the transition zone between humid subtropical and tropical, with summer highs in the low 90s, mild 70s winters and about 53.5 inches of rain a year. Afternoon thunderstorms are the summer scheduling constraint, so walks go early. Hurricane season runs June through November and the city has taken direct hits, which is why local owners value a sitter who can talk through a storm plan before they travel.

When demand peaks

Snowbird season from roughly November through April is the busiest stretch, bringing seasonal residents who book steady walks and drop-ins for months at a time. New York Mets spring training at Clover Park in February and March adds visitor demand. Summer runs quieter on visitors but heavier on boarding as year-round families travel.
