A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Crawley

Crawley 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 demand peaks

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 Crawley areas

Most bookings cluster Three Bridges to Pound Hill. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Crawley

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.

Dog care in Crawley

Overnight dog sitting across Crawley

Overnight stays suit owners who go away on holidays or long work trips, or who work airport shifts that run through the night. Maidenbower and Pound Hill are family suburbs on the east side, Three Bridges surrounds the mainline station, and Broadfield, Tilgate and Ifield sit to the south and west, with Tilgate Park and Buchan Country Park for longer walks. Holding two or three neighbouring areas keeps travel short.

Common questions

Dog Sitting Jobs in Crawley

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

Should I offer dog sitting or dog walking in Crawley?
They are different shapes of work rather than better and worse. dog sitting tends to run to a fixed routine, while dog walking fills different hours, and you set your own rate for each. Nothing stops you offering both in Crawley and letting the requests decide.
Are there jobs in Crawley?
Yes. You choose the parts of Crawley you cover and the services you offer. Nothing is assigned across town, and there is no minimum hours. Payment runs through the app to your bank account.
How much can I earn dog sitting in Crawley?
Dog boarding on Petme in Crawley runs £32 to £50 per night, with daycare and walks adding daytime income. You set your own rate per service, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes £20,000 in Protection Plan for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies across Three Bridges and Maidenbower.
Can I board dogs in a flat in Crawley?
Usually not at your own flat. In England, licensed home boarding needs a home with its own entrance and a private, non-communal outdoor area, and a balcony does not count, so check with your licensing authority first. Overnight dog sitting in the owner's home is a different service, and you can offer it wherever you live in Crawley.
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 Crawley?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. No assigned bookings and no minimum hours, whether the owner is in Three Bridges or Maidenbower. You set your rates and availability per service.
Does overnight dog sitting in Crawley slow down over the winter?
No, it shifts. Overnight stays in Crawley peak over Christmas and New Year while owners travel, then hold through the February half-term. Winter stays mean more indoor time and muddier walks, so agree the walk routine and the drying arrangements at the meet and greet rather than on the doorstep.
What does an overnight dog nanny do in Crawley?
An overnight dog nanny stays with the dog through the night, covering the evening walk, dinner, company and the morning routine while the owner works an airport shift or travels. On Petme you set your own rate per night, keep up to 90% of every booking, and each stay carries the £20,000 Protection Plan.
Do Gatwick shift patterns make dog sitting in Crawley more regular?
They can. Airport rosters often follow a repeating pattern, so an owner on shifts may need the same overnight cover on each rotation. You choose which dates to accept, so you decide whether a regular pattern fits your week.
