About Pet Sitting in London
London, Ontario lives up to its Forest City nickname with an extensive network of parks, trails, and river corridors that make it a wonderful place to own a pet. Springbank Park stretches over 140 hectares along the Thames River with paved pathways, wooded trails, and open meadows that dogs adore. The Thames Valley Parkway connects neighbourhoods across the city with over 40 kilometres of multi-use trails following the river's forks. Fanshawe Conservation Area offers a reservoir, forested hiking paths, and wide-open spaces north of the city. Gibbons Park, nestled along the river near Western University, provides a shaded urban escape with gentle walking loops.
London's neighbourhoods blend university-town energy with the charm of established, tree-lined residential streets. Old North features stately homes and walkable avenues close to the river, attracting pet owners who value heritage character and green space. Wortley Village, south of the Thames, has a beloved main street with independent shops and a tight-knit community where dogs are regular guests at the weekend farmers' market. Byron's proximity to Springbank Park makes it a top choice for active dog owners. Masonville offers suburban convenience near trails and parks, while Westmount's family-friendly streets and community spaces round out a city where pets are welcomed everywhere.
Petme connects London pet owners with verified sitters who know the Forest City's trails and neighbourhoods inside and out.
