Local know-how pays off in Brisbane
Brisbane averages 30.4 degrees by day in January and 21.7 overnight, and the second number is the one that matters, because a dog here does not get the cool night an Adelaide or a Perth dog gets to recover in. Add the humidity and a still afternoon is worth skipping outright rather than shortening. The compensation is the other half of the year: July still averages 22 degrees, so while southern sitters are working around cold and rain, Brisbane is walking every day of the week.
When demand peaks
Queensland starts its summer break earlier than the southern states, from around the middle of December, so Brisbane owners are already travelling while Sydney and Melbourne families are still at school, and overnight requests land about a week ahead of the eastern pattern. The late-September break is the one that catches new sitters out, because it is short and it is busy. Everything between is weekday work, and Brisbane holds more of that through winter than any other big city on the east coast.
Know your Brisbane areas
Most cat bookings cluster along the river bends from New Farm and Bulimba through West End and Toowong out to Chermside and Carindale. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
Cat homes in Brisbane
Brisbane splits into two kinds of cat home: the older high-set houses out toward Bulimba, Wynnum and Carindale, and the apartment blocks stacked around South Brisbane, Fortitude Valley and the top of the CBD. They are different visits. The river is the constraint on both, because the crossing you have to make decides how many you can realistically fit into a day, and a sitter who works one side of it says so before the first booking rather than after.

Brisbane areas that book the most
Petme cat bookings in Brisbane come from neighbourhoods like Brisbane CBD, Fortitude Valley, New Farm, with drop-in visits and house sitting the most requested for cats.
Brisbane sits inside the paralysis tick's range, and in a warm, humid climate it behaves less like a season and more like a constant, which is the real difference between here and the southern capitals. Keep every dog you take on the prevention its vet has recommended, and keep looking anyway, because no product removes the need to check. If one turns up, it comes out and the owner rings their vet the same hour.
