Melbourne
Booking overnight care at your place in Melbourne
Melbourne pet owners book differently to the rest of the country. More walks, more doggy daycare, fewer overnight stays, and a heavy bias toward inner-north suburbs where apartment living is the norm and most owners need a weekday walker.
AFL grand final week, the Spring Carnival, and Christmas are the three demand spikes. Sitters in Brunswick, Northcote, and Fitzroy fill up first; book at least six weeks ahead for the December–January peak.
