Local know-how pays off in Gilbert
Gilbert sits in the Sonoran Desert, where July afternoon highs average around 105 to 107 F and can push past 110 F. Annual rainfall is only about 9 inches, most of it during the July to September monsoon. Walkers shift dog time to early morning and after sunset, carry water on every route, and check asphalt temperature so paws do not burn on hot pavement.
When demand peaks
Demand rises through the mild winter months from November to March, when snowbirds and family visitors fill the East Valley and owners travel over the holidays, driving boarding and drop-in requests. Summer heat pushes owners toward midday drop-in visits and daycare rather than long walks, and spring break travel adds a second booking spike.

Gilbert enforces a leash law under Municipal Code section 6-60 (Running at Large), and Maricopa County rules require dogs to be restrained on a leash no longer than six feet in public areas.
