Common questions

Dog Sitting Jobs in Belfast

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

How much can I earn dog sitting in Belfast?

Dog boarding on Petme in Belfast runs £26 to £42 per night, with daycare and walks adding daytime income. You set your own rate per service, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Can I board dogs in an apartment in Belfast?

Yes. You set your own house rules: the dog sizes you accept, how many dogs at once, and whether your home suits high-energy breeds. Many Belfast sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park.

What is the difference between dog boarding and doggy daycare?

Boarding is overnight, billed per night, while the owner travels. Daycare is daytime only, billed per day, for owners at work. You can offer either or both and set a separate rate for each.

Do I choose which dogs and bookings I accept in Belfast?

Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. No assigned bookings and no minimum hours. You set your rates and availability per service.

What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?

Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes £20,000 in vet protection for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner.

Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Belfast?

In Belfast, home dog boarding is governed by the Welfare of Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, and boarding at any real scale needs a licence from Belfast City Council. Hosting the occasional dog casually is different from running a regular boarding business, so check with the council before you take bookings so you host within the rules from day one.

When is dog boarding demand highest in Belfast?

Dog boarding in Belfast peaks hardest over Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays, when owners across Stranmillis and Ballyhackamore travel and need overnight cover for a week or more. Half term, Easter and long bank holiday weekends bring a second wave, so a sitter who opens their calendar early usually fills those dates first.
