Cat sitting jobs in Brighton, where seaside flats and weekend travellers keep visits booked
Brighton is a city of small period flats, cat owners who head off most weekends, and a seafront that fills up the moment anyone can get away. Petme cat sitters cover the gap with one or two short drop-ins a day, usually within a few streets of home. Cat visits in Brighton run £14 to £22 per 20 to 30 minute visit, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Local know-how pays off in Brighton
Brighton has a mild, wet maritime climate that rarely freezes, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.
Know your Brighton areas
Most cat bookings cluster Kemptown to Hanover. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
Where cat visits cluster across Brighton
Cat demand in Brighton follows the flat-dense, high-income pockets where owners travel often and have no garden, so bookings stack up around Kemptown and Hove first. Hanover, Brunswick and Seven Dials keep visits steady with their terraced streets and converted flats, and Preston Park picks up families heading away in the school holidays. Working two or three neighbouring areas beats chasing bookings right across the city.

Cat Sitting Jobs in Brighton
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Brighton.
How much do cat sitters earn per visit in Brighton?
Drop-in cat visits on Petme in Brighton run £14 to £22 per 20 to 30 minute visit. You set your own rate per visit, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What does a typical cat sitting visit involve?
A standard drop-in runs 20 to 30 minutes: feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and a photo update to the owner in chat. Many Brighton owners book one or two visits a day while they travel.
Can I set my own visit schedule in Brighton?
Yes. You set your available hours and accept or decline each request. Morning and evening visit slots fill first, and you can stack several nearby visits around Kemptown and Hove into one efficient round.
What protection do I get on cat sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including drop-in visits, includes £17,000 in Protection Plan for the cat in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies whether you sit in Kemptown or Hove.
Where is cat sitting demand strongest in Brighton?
Cat demand in Brighton follows the flat-dense, high-income pockets where owners travel often and have no garden, so bookings stack up around Kemptown and Hove first. Most cat owners book a sitter within their own neighborhood, so listing the areas you cover sharpens your visibility.
What should I check on a winter cat visit in Brighton?
Check the home as well as the cat. On a Brighton winter visit that means confirming the heating is still on, topping up water that sits near a draughty window, keeping the litter and feeding routine exactly as the owner left it, and flagging anything odd straight away. Owners travelling over Christmas rebook the sitters who notice the house too.
Are there many multi-cat households to sit for in Brighton?
Yes. Brighton’s converted period flats often hold two or three indoor cats, especially around Kemptown, Hove and Hanover, so a single booking can cover a whole household. On Petme you set the rate per visit and can price multi-cat visits higher, which is why many sitters here earn more from one address than a standard drop-in.
When does cat sitting demand peak in Brighton?
School holidays and long weekends are the peak, when Brighton owners head off and the city empties toward the seafront. Bookings cluster around Easter, summer and Christmas, plus most Fridays and Sundays year-round. Morning and evening slots fill first, so sitters who open early and late calendars in Hove and Preston Park catch the most repeat work.
