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.

Common questions about dog sitting in Brisbane
Everything you need to know before booking a dog sitter
How much does dog boarding cost in Brisbane?
Dog boarding in Brisbane typically ranges from $35 to $65 per night. All bookings include $22,000 in Protection Plan.
Are Brisbane dog sitters on Petme insured?

Can I find a dog sitter in Paddington?
Yes. Petme has sitters across Brisbane including Paddington, New Farm, West End, Bulimba, and Toowong.
Is it safe to walk dogs in Brisbane in summer?
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 the Petme Protection Plan apply to dog sitting bookings in Brisbane?
Yes, for eligible vet costs. For bookings made through Petme, whether overnight boarding, a dog walk, or a drop-in visit, the Petme Protection Plan may contribute up to $32,000 if your dog is injured or becomes ill during a stay or walk, subject to the Protection Plan terms. No separate purchase is required. Eligibility rules apply, so read the terms before you book.
Can I meet a dog sitter in Brisbane before committing to a booking?
Yes. You can message a sitter in chat and arrange a meet-and-greet before you book. You and your dog get to meet the sitter in person before you confirm anything, and you only go ahead when you are both comfortable. Meeting a sitter first is the best way to check the match.
