Tips for Lyon dog owners
Living and walking with a dog in Lyon
Tête d'Or Off-Leash Zone
The dedicated dog area near the north gate of Tête d'Or is the largest off-leash space in central Lyon. Go early on weekends to avoid crowds.
Cold Winters
Lyon winters can be cold and damp. Short-haired breeds may need a coat for outdoor walks between November and February.
Rhône Currents
The Rhône has strong currents. Keep dogs away from the water's edge on the main riverbanks, particularly in winter and after rain.

Everything you need to know before booking a dog sitter
How much does dog sitting cost in Lyon?
Overnight boarding in Lyon typically costs €28 to €58 per night. Dog walking rates range from €13 to €26 per walk. You can view each sitter's exact rates on their Petme profile before reaching out.
Is there an off-leash area in Parc de la Tête d'Or?

Can a Petme sitter look after my dog in my Lyon apartment?
Yes. Both drop-in visits and house sitting are available across Lyon. Your sitter comes to your home, lets your dog out, feeds them, and provides company and walks , without your dog having to leave their familiar environment.
How do I know if a dog sitter in Lyon 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 Lyon 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 Lyon?

For bookings made through Petme, whether overnight boarding, a dog walk, or a drop-in visit, the Petme Protection Plan may contribute up to €20,000 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 Lyon 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.
