Local know-how pays off in Augusta
Augusta has a humid subtropical climate with very hot, sticky summers pushing highs into the low 90s and short, mild winters that see barely an inch of snow a year. Walkers move dogs to early morning and evening from June through September, keep sessions shorter in the humidity, and watch flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs closely on the worst afternoons.
When demand peaks
The busiest stretch is Masters week each April, when the tournament at Augusta National draws large crowds and travel spikes; summer vacations and the winter holidays lift boarding and house sitting too. Fort Eisenhower rotations and the Augusta University calendar keep walking and drop-in demand steady the rest of the year.
