A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Norwich

Norwich 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 Norwich areas

Most bookings cluster Heigham to Thorpe St Andrew. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Norwich

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 Norwich

The Broads, the coast and a university calendar

Home boarding is the overnight kennel role run from your own house instead of a kennel block. The city is largely low-rise with gardens, so the practical requirements are within reach for a lot of households. Norfolk’s holiday season stretches from Easter through the summer as owners head for the Broads and the coast, and the University of East Anglia adds a second rhythm around Earlham with term breaks that fall outside the tourist peak.

Common questions

Dog Boarding Jobs in Norwich

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

How much can I earn boarding dogs at home in Norwich?
Home dog boarding on Petme in Norwich runs £24 to £38 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 Norwich?
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 Heigham or Eaton.
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 Heigham or Eaton.
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 Norwich book home boarding for the one-to-one routine: normal walks, a sofa, and photo updates. That is why a calm home in Heigham or Eaton can charge a solid nightly rate.
Do I need a garden to board dogs in Norwich?
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 Norwich?
Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays, in that order of pressure, with the February, May and October half-terms behind them. Norwich 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 Norwich?
Petme offers home boarding in Norwich rather than kennel employment. It is the home-based alternative to kennel work: the dog sleeps at your place, you set the nightly rate, and you pick which bookings to take instead of covering a shift pattern at a kennel site.
Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Norwich?
Yes. Home boarding in England requires a licence from the council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018, applied for through Norwich City Council. Check with the council before you take paid overnight bookings, since the licence involves an inspection of your home.
