Dog care tips for Edmonton

Keep your dog safe through Edmonton's long winters and warm summers.

Extreme cold

Edmonton winters regularly hit minus 30 or colder. Limit outdoor time, use paw wax, and watch for frostbite on ears and paw pads.

Summer mosquitoes

Edmonton's river valley is mosquito-heavy in summer. Ask your vet about heartworm prevention and consider bug-repellent gear.

Coyote caution

Coyotes are active in Edmonton's river valley. Keep dogs leashed at dawn and dusk and report sightings to 311.

Off-leash etiquette

Edmonton has over 40 off-leash parks. Dogs must be under voice control and waste must be picked up immediately.

Common questions about dog sitting in Edmonton

Everything you need to know before booking a dog sitter

How do I know if a dog sitter in Edmonton is trustworthy?

Every dog sitter on Petme completes identity verification before their profile goes live. Most sitters also have reviews written by dog owners in Edmonton who have used their services. You can browse each sitter's full profile, view their photos with dogs, check their listed breed experience, and read every review before getting in touch. You are never obligated to book — messaging a sitter is always free.

Does every dog sitting booking in Edmonton include vet coverage?

Yes. Every booking made through Petme — whether it is overnight boarding, a dog walk, or a drop-in visit — is automatically covered by the Petme Protection Plan. This provides up to $20,000 in veterinary care if your dog is injured or becomes ill during a stay or walk. No separate insurance purchase is required, and there is no opt-in process. The protection is included in every booking by default.

Can I meet a dog sitter in Edmonton before committing to a booking?

Yes. Every Petme booking starts with a free meet-and-greet. You and your dog get to meet the sitter in person before any booking is confirmed. You only go ahead when you are both comfortable — and most dog owners say the meet-and-greet is the step that gives them the most confidence. There is no charge for the meeting and no obligation to proceed.
