Living with a pet in Milano

In Milan, life with pets revolves around the parks — Sempione, Lambro, Bosco in Città and the Giardini Montanelli — and walks along the Navigli, increasingly dog-friendly with cafés and terraces that welcome dogs.

A hard-working city with an intense pace, plenty of flats and indoor cats, Milan has a real need for dog walkers and regular home visits. In summer the humid heat calls for outings at dawn or in the evening: a neighbourhood SmartSitter, from Isola to Città Studi, arranges everything around the owner's schedule.
