Local know-how pays off in Mobile
Mobile is the rainiest city in the contiguous US, with hot, humid subtropical summers and mild winters on the Gulf Coast. Walkers keep summer outings to early morning and after sunset, carry water, and check the pavement, then work around frequent afternoon downpours and the June to November hurricane season.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs during Mardi Gras and beach-trip season, when owners head to Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores, and again over the winter holidays. Boarding and drop-in visits lead during travel stretches, while dog walking stays steady for shipyard, Airbus, port, and University of South Alabama workers on long shifts.
