Dresden areas that book the most
Petme dog sitting bookings in Dresden come from neighborhoods like Innere Altstadt, Neustadt, Striesen, with overnight boarding at the sitter's own home the most requested service.
In Germany, anyone who boards other people's dogs for regular pay registers a small trade (Gewerbe). Whether overnight boarding at your home also needs a permit under Section 11 of the Animal Welfare Act depends on scale; check with your local veterinary office. Petme's overview of German dog law covers the basics.

Can I board dogs in an apartment in Dresden?
Yes. You set your own house rules: the dog sizes you accept, how many dogs at once, and whether your home suits high-energy breeds. Many Dresden sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park in Innere Altstadt or Neustadt.
How do I keep walking dogs through a Dresden winter with so little daylight?
Winter is one of the busiest stretches, not a pause. In Dresden that means fitting what you can inside the daylight window and using a light and a reflective harness for the rest, gripped soles on gritted pavements, shorter routes for small or short-coated dogs on the coldest days, and wiping grit and road salt off paws before handover. Owners see who is still turning up in February, and those are the walkers they rebook.
