About drop-in pet visits in Canberra

Canberra owners book Petme around the parliamentary sitting calendar more than around the school calendar. Recurring weekday walks for office-based public servants are a steady chunk of bookings, and house-sits spike when MPs and staffers travel between Canberra and home electorates.
