Dog care tips for Toronto
Keep your dog happy through Toronto's hot summers and cold winters.
Winter paw care
Toronto sidewalks are heavily salted in winter. Rinse paws after every walk or use dog booties to prevent irritation.
Summer heat safety
Temperatures can exceed 35 degrees with humidity. Walk early morning or after sunset and always carry water.
Leash laws
Dogs must be leashed in all public areas except designated off-leash parks. Fines start at $365.
Condo living
Many Toronto dogs live in condos. Regular walks and daycare keep high-rise pups happy and well-exercised.

How do I know if a dog sitter in Toronto 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 Toronto who have used their services.

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