Local know-how pays off in Macon
Macon has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, sticky summers that top 90 degrees on more than 80 days a year and short, mild winters. Sitters walk dogs early morning or after sunset in July and August to keep paws off hot pavement, and use the shaded riverside stretch of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail when the humidity spikes.
When demand peaks
Demand rises when families travel over the summer and winter holidays, and around the spring International Cherry Blossom Festival that fills downtown. Boarding and house sitting lead during vacation weeks, while dog walking and drop-in visits stay steady for Mercer University staff, medical-center shift workers, and commuters tied to the Robins Air Force Base jobs south of town.
