A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Brighton

Brighton has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, 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 bookings cluster Kemptown to Hanover. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Brighton

Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Home boarding in Brighton

The overnight role, minus the kennel block

Home boarding is the overnight kennel role run from your own place instead of a site with a shift rota. Many Brighton and Hove residents commute to London or head away for weekends, and much of the housing is flats and narrow terraces, where a boarded dog does better in a household than in a run. Kemptown, Hanover and Seven Dials sit within walking distance of the seafront and the parks, which gives a boarding dog good daily walks.

Common questions

Dog Boarding Jobs in Brighton

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Brighton.

How much can I earn boarding dogs at home in Brighton?
Home dog boarding on Petme in Brighton runs £32 to £50 per night. You set your own nightly rate and headcount, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Do I need a garden to board dogs in Brighton?
You need private outdoor space. In England, licensed home boarding needs direct access to a private, non-communal outdoor area, and a balcony does not count, so a flat with only a shared garden will not qualify. Check with your licensing authority before you take bookings, then set the dog sizes and headcount your home suits.
Can I choose which dogs I host in Brighton?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet and greet first if you want, and accept or decline. Most hosts start with one dog at a time and only take dogs that get along with their household, whether the owner is in Kemptown or Hove.
What protection do I get on home boarding bookings?
The Petme Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible vet costs for the dog in your care, subject to its terms. The same terms apply whether your guests come from Kemptown or Hove.
How is home boarding different from a boarding kennel?
The dog stays in your home as part of the household, not in a run alongside other dogs. Owners in Brighton book home boarding for the one-to-one routine: normal walks, a sofa, and photo updates. That is why a calm home in Kemptown or Hove can charge a solid nightly rate.
When does home dog boarding peak in Brighton?
Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays, in that order of pressure, with the February, May and October half-terms behind them. Brighton owners book boarding weeks ahead of those windows, so opening your calendar early for peak dates is the single biggest thing a new host can do to fill it.
Are there overnight kennel jobs in Brighton?
Petme's overnight role is home boarding rather than kennel employment. On Petme the dog sleeps at your place and lives as part of the household, so you get the overnight work without the commute to a site or a fixed rota. You set the nightly rate and pick the stays that suit you.
Can I board dogs in a Brighton flat with no garden?
Usually not. England's statutory guidance for licensed home boarding requires the home to have its own entrance and direct access to a private, non-communal outdoor area, and a balcony does not count. A flat with its own front door and a private garden can qualify, so check with Brighton and Hove City Council before you take paid stays.
