Local know-how pays off in Minneapolis
Minneapolis winters bring sub-zero wind chills and months of snow and ice-melt. Sitters carry paw balm, rinse salt off paws between blocks, keep walks short in a dangerous freeze, and switch to indoor enrichment. Summers are warm and lake-centered.
When demand peaks
Corporate-HQ travel and the summer lake-country vacation window drive boarding demand, with a winter-holiday peak on top. Daily walks run year-round; deep-winter weeks shift more volume to drop-ins and indoor play.
