Local know-how pays off in Albuquerque
Albuquerque's high-desert sun makes summer afternoons intense even in dry heat, so sitters walk dogs at dawn and dusk and watch for scorching pavement and quick dehydration. Mild winters and the late-summer monsoon rains otherwise keep walking comfortable.
When demand peaks
Boarding peaks sharply during the October Balloon Fiesta and around summer and holiday travel, while UNM's term calendar lifts drop-in and walking demand near campus. Year-round retirees and remote workers keep midweek visits steady.
