Local know-how pays off in Cleveland

When demand peaks
Boarding and house sitting peak around summer travel, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays, with a second bump tied to University Circle's student and hospital calendar. Drop-in visits stay steady year-round from working downtown commuters.
