Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about dog boarding in Southampton.

How much does dog boarding cost in Southampton?
Southampton home boarding usually runs £22 to £55 per night, with leafier areas like Bassett at the higher end and central districts cheaper. On Petme owners pay 0% commission, so the rate you agree with your sitter is the full price, and cashback lands after the completed stay.
Is home boarding better than a kennel in Southampton?
A Southampton home stay suits most dogs better than a kennel, keeping their routine and one-to-one attention instead of a run in a facility. With the New Forest National Park on the doorstep and Southampton Common in the city, a local boarder has excellent walking options close by.
How do I find a dog boarder near me in Southampton?
Search your area or postcode in the Petme app to see verified boarders across Portswood, Bassett, Shirley, Bitterne and out to Hedge End and Eastleigh, sorted by distance. A nearby sitter keeps drop-off short and your dog on familiar local routes.
Does the Protection Plan apply to Southampton boarding stays?
Yes. The Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible emergencies during the stay, subject to its terms. Your sitter can use a local Southampton vet and the Protection Plan may contribute toward eligible costs, subject to its terms.
Can I meet the sitter in Southampton before boarding my dog?
Yes. You can arrange a meet-and-greet with the boarder at their home before booking, so you can see the space, introduce your dog to any resident pets, and confirm the match. Profiles also show reviews from previous Southampton stays to help you choose.
