Dog boarding in London: what you need to know

London is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the world.

Petme boarding sitters live across every London borough, in flats, terraced houses, and homes with gardens, so you can find the right match for your dog's size, temperament, and daily routine.

Petme charges 0% commission for pet owners in London. The price you agree with your sitter is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or platform surcharges.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about dog boarding in London.

How much does dog boarding cost in London?
London home boarding usually runs £35 to £80 per night, the widest band in the UK because central boroughs like Kensington and Westminster sit well above outer areas such as Greenwich or Wandsworth. On Petme owners pay 0% commission, so the nightly rate you agree is the full price, and cashback lands after the stay.
Is home dog boarding better than a kennel in London?
For most London dogs, home boarding beats a kennel because your dog keeps a normal routine in a flat or house rather than a cage in a noisy facility. It suits anxious dogs, seniors, and small breeds that struggle with kennel crowds, and your sitter can still use nearby green space like Hampstead Heath or Clapham Common for daily walks.
How do I find a dog boarder near my London borough?
Search your postcode or borough in the Petme app and you will see verified boarders in Camden, Hackney, Islington, Richmond and the rest of Greater London, sorted by distance. Matching locally matters in London because a sitter on your own Tube line or within walking distance makes drop-off and collection far easier around work.
What does the £20,000 vet protection cover for London boarding?
Every London booking includes up to £20,000 of veterinary cover for eligible emergencies during the stay, which matters in a city with 24-hour referral hospitals where an out-of-hours bill climbs fast. Your sitter can use a local vet and the protection plan handles eligible costs. Full terms are in the Petme app.
Are Petme dog boarding sitters in London background-checked?
Yes. Every London sitter is reviewed and ID-verified by the Petme trust and safety team before they can take a booking, and only approved boarders appear in search. You can also read past stay reviews on each profile before you choose.
Can I meet the sitter before boarding my dog in London?
Yes. Every Petme boarder offers a free meet-and-greet at their home first, so your dog can see the flat or garden, meet any resident pets, and settle before the stay. It is worth doing in London where homes vary from upper-floor flats to houses with gardens, and you want the right setup for your dog.
