Local know-how pays off in Sacramento
Sacramento summers run hot and dry, with stretches well over 100 degrees in July and August. Sitters here walk dogs early morning or after sunset and skip midday pavement, since the foggy, mild winters are the easy part of the year.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs over summer travel and the December holidays, when owners leave town and need overnight boarding and house sitting. State-government and university calendars also drive steady weekday drop-in and walking work the rest of the year.
