Local know-how pays off in New York
Manhattan summers push pavement past 140°F in heat-wave weeks. NYC sitters shift to early-morning and late-evening walks, and many co-ops require elevator pet etiquette and waste bagging on every walk.
When demand peaks
Daily lunchtime walks are the steady-state booking; demand spikes around Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and the Christmas-to-New-Year window when owners leave the city. Walking volume vastly exceeds boarding.
