Local know-how pays off in Denver
Denver sits at 5,280 feet, so dogs new to altitude tire faster and need more water. Sitters watch for thin-air fatigue on summer hikes, rinse ice-melt off paws in winter, and know that a 70-degree morning can turn into an afternoon snow squall.
When demand peaks
Ski-season weekends (December to March) drive I-70 mountain travel and steady boarding demand, with a second peak over the summer travel window. Daily walks run year-round thanks to Denver's active, dog-heavy population.
