Local know-how pays off in Madison
Madison winters are long and cold with heavy snow and frequent sub-freezing days, so sitters keep cold-weather walks brief and lean on indoor drop-in visits and potty breaks. Summers by the lakes are warm and humid, pushing walks to morning and evening.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks over the winter holidays and the summer travel season, with boarding and overnight house sitting leading. The University of Wisconsin academic calendar drives drop-in and walking demand during term breaks and football weekends.
