Local know-how pays off in Scottsdale

Scottsdale summers are extreme, with daytime highs well over 100 degrees from June through September and pavement hot enough to burn paws. Sitters walk at dawn or after dark, carry water, and lean on indoor play and drop-ins during the worst heat.

Demand peaks in the cooler winter and spring season (November through April) when seasonal residents and golf-and-spa tourists arrive, with boarding and drop-in visits leading as homes fill and owners travel.
