A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Wandsworth

Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth areas

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

Breeds you will meet in Wandsworth

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.

Common questions

Dog Boarding Jobs in Wandsworth

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

How much can I earn boarding dogs at home in Wandsworth?
Home dog boarding on Petme in Wandsworth runs £38 to £58 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 Wandsworth?
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 Wandsworth?
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 Battersea or Putney.
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 Battersea or Putney.
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 Wandsworth book home boarding for the one-to-one routine: normal walks, a sofa, and photo updates. That is why a calm home in Battersea or Putney can charge a solid nightly rate.
When does home dog boarding peak in Wandsworth?
Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays, in that order of pressure, with the February, May and October half-terms behind them. Wandsworth 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.
Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Wandsworth?
Yes when boarding is regular. Wandsworth Council issues the licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. The guidance expects direct access from the home to a private outdoor area. A shared garden does not stand in for that.
Is a dog boarding job in Wandsworth a kennel shift?
No. Kennel work is a job at a kennel premises. Home boarding in Wandsworth is hosting the dog overnight at your own address, on a nightly rate you set, and you keep up to 90%.
