A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Bromley

Bromley 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 owners travel

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 Bromley areas

Most bookings cluster Shortlands to Sundridge. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Bromley

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 Bromley

Detached Bickley and the common at Hayes

Hosts in Shortlands, west of the town centre, have Queensmead Recreation Ground on Glass Mill Lane for daily walks. A detached house in Bickley, east of the centre, shares no wall with a neighbour when a guest dog barks at night. Between Hayes and the town, Norman Park on Hayes Lane gives a Hayes host a second walk to vary with the common.

Common questions

Dog Boarding Jobs in Bromley

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

How much can I earn boarding dogs at home in Bromley?
Home dog boarding on Petme in Bromley runs £32 to £50 per night. You set your own nightly rate and headcount, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Can I choose which dogs I host in Bromley?
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 Shortlands or Bickley.
What protection do I get on home boarding bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including overnight boarding, includes £20,000 in Protection Plan for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies whether your guests come from Shortlands or Bickley.
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 Bromley book home boarding for the one-to-one routine: normal walks, a sofa, and photo updates. That is why a calm home in Shortlands or Bickley can charge a solid nightly rate.
Do I need a garden to board dogs in Bromley?
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.
When does home dog boarding peak in Bromley?
Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays, in that order of pressure, with the February, May and October half-terms behind them. Bromley 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.
What does Petme ask of new dog boarding hosts in Bromley?
Every Bromley host is at least 18, has cleared Petme's ID verification and works through the Petme app on a smartphone. With that done, you write the house rules for guest dogs in your own Bromley home. You also choose which nights to open and what each one costs.
Do I need a home boarding licence for dogs in Bromley?
Yes, if you board dogs as a business. Home boarding for dogs is a licensable activity under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018, and Bromley Council grants the licence for Bromley. Contact the council before your first paid overnight booking, since the licence involves an inspection of your home.
