Turn your London home into a dog boarding business
Many London owners live in flats with no garden, and a trip out of Heathrow or on the Eurostar leaves their dog needing a home to stay in. A host near a park in Hackney, Clapham or Greenwich fits that brief. Home dog boarding in London runs £38 to £58 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Local know-how pays off in London
London 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 London areas
Most bookings cluster Camden to Shoreditch. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in London
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.
Why London flats and travel suit home boarding
London has Heathrow, Gatwick and the Eurostar on its doorstep, and many owners live in flats with no garden and no family nearby to take the dog. A host with a calm home in Hackney, Clapham or Islington, close to a park, offers the dog a home to stay in rather than a kennel run. Summer, Christmas and the school half-terms are when most families travel, and you choose which of those dates to open.
