Gold Coast

Booking dog walking in Gold Coast

The Gold Coast runs on tourism, which means a lot of pet owners here travel for work as much as they travel for holidays. Recurring drop-in visits and house-sits dominate; full daycare is less common because most owners have backyards.

Schoolies, Commonwealth Games weekends, and Magic Millions Race Week are local demand spikes you don't see anywhere else.
