Dog sitting jobs in Brighton, where seaside flats and travelling owners fill your calendar with overnight boarders
Brighton pairs London-commuter salaries with a wall of Regency flats where a garden is rare and a dog-friendly home is worth paying for. Owners here travel most weekends and off to the coast for holidays, so they need someone to board the dog overnight, and that is exactly what Petme dog sitters do a few streets from their own front door. Dog boarding in Brighton runs £32 to £50 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Where overnight boarding demand clusters across Brighton
Boarding demand in Brighton follows the flat-heavy, garden-short pockets near the sea, so Kemptown and Hove carry the busiest overnight books and command the highest nightly rates outside London. Brunswick and Seven Dials feed the same commuter-and-traveller crowd, while Hanover and the streets around Preston Park bring the house-and-garden hosts that larger dogs prefer. Pick two neighbouring areas and let the repeat bookings stack rather than driving the length of the city for one night.

Dog Sitting Jobs in Brighton
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Brighton.
How much can I earn dog sitting in Brighton?
Dog boarding on Petme in Brighton runs £32 to £50 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 Brighton?
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 Brighton 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 Brighton?
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 host dogs overnight in Brighton?
If you board dogs in your home as a business in Brighton, you generally need a home boarding licence from Brighton & Hove City Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. Occasional daycare without overnight stays is treated differently, so check your exact plans with the council before you scale up boarding.
When is boarding demand highest in Brighton?
Boarding demand in Brighton peaks around Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays, when owners in Kemptown, Hove and Brunswick head away and book overnight stays weeks ahead. Bank-holiday weekends and festival dates fill fast too, so opening your calendar early for those windows is the surest way to keep your nights booked.
