Local know-how pays off in Detroit
Detroit winters bring heavy lake-effect snow from December through March: sitters shorten walks to ten or fifteen minutes in deep cold and rinse road salt off paws between blocks. Summers are warm and comfortable for full-length outings.
When demand peaks
Auto-industry employee travel from the Big 3 and their suppliers fills mid-week boarding all year, with international trips meaning longer stays. Summer Up North cottage travel (June to August), Thanksgiving, and the December holidays bring the seasonal peaks.
