Local know-how pays off in Allentown
Allentown runs a full four-season climate: hot, humid Lehigh Valley summers with frequent thunderstorms and cold winters that average around 30 inches of snow. Sitters walk early or after sunset during muggy July afternoons and salt icy row-home stoops and steep West End sidewalks after a January Nor'easter.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs in summer when families head to the Jersey Shore or the Poconos and again over the winter holidays. The Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg college calendars and shift work at Lehigh Valley Health Network keep dog walking and drop-in visits steady all year, while boarding leads during travel-heavy stretches.
Know your Allentown areas
Most bookings cluster Center City to the West End. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Allentown
