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 routes
Most bookings cluster along the river bends from New Farm and Bulimba through West End and Toowong out to Chermside and Carindale. Owners look for walkers who know the local parks and leash rules, and who can turn up on a regular schedule.
Breeds you will meet in Brisbane
Owners here mostly keep Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Border Collie. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

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.

How do I walk dogs through an Australian summer in Brisbane?
Move the walk to the cool ends of the day. Summer runs December to February and heat illness in dogs peaks over December and January, so Brisbane walkers go out early morning and after sunset, press the back of a hand to the footpath for five seconds before stepping a dog onto it, and carry water. On a run of hot days the overnight minimum stops giving relief, so shorten the route rather than skip it.
