Dog care tips for Brisbane

Keep your dog safe in Brisbane's subtropical heat and humidity.

Subtropical heat

Brisbane summers are hot and humid. Walk early morning or after sunset and always provide shade and fresh water.

Tick season

Paralysis ticks are active year-round in south-east Queensland. Use tick prevention and check your dog daily.

Creek safety

Brisbane creeks can flash flood after heavy rain. Keep dogs away from swollen waterways, especially in summer storms.

Off-leash rules

Brisbane City Council has designated off-leash times and areas. Check signage at each park before unleashing.

Yes, but avoid the middle of the day. Walk early morning or after 5pm to prevent heat stress and paw burns on hot pavement.

How do I know if a dog sitter in Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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.
