Local know-how pays off in Portland
Portland's long rainy season runs October through May, so sitters carry towels, work indoor enrichment on the wettest days, and use Forest Park and covered routes for energy burn. Summer is dry and mild, ideal for trail and river walks.
When demand peaks
Demand is steady year-round, with summer hiking-and-coast travel spikes and a smaller winter-holiday peak. Daily walks and daycare dominate booking volume thanks to the city's dog-heavy, outdoorsy population.
Know your Portland routes
