What makes a dog walker book out in Brisbane
Brisbane has the longest dog-walking season in the country. Outside of the January and February heat waves and the worst of the wet, walks happen year round, which means a Brisbane walker can keep a steady calendar almost every month. Owners on the peninsula and around the river bends lean on drop-in visits and walks while they are at work, so a reliable weekday walker is in constant demand.
