Where overnight dog boarding clusters across Exeter
Boarding demand in Exeter gathers around St Leonards and Pennsylvania, where older owners and University households travel often and want their dog in a real home rather than a kennel. Heavitree and Topsham add a steady flow of family bookings, while Pinhoe and Alphington bring newer housing with room to host. Sitters who cover two or three neighbouring areas fill their nights faster than those chasing work across the whole city.

Dog Sitting Jobs in Exeter
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Exeter.
How much can I earn dog sitting in Exeter?
Dog boarding on Petme in Exeter 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 Exeter?
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 Exeter 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 Exeter?
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 you need a licence to board dogs in Exeter?
Hosting several dogs at once for payment usually needs a home boarding licence from Exeter City Council under the 2018 animal activity rules. Occasional overnight sitting for a single household tends to sit below that threshold, so check with the council before you take on regular boarding at scale.
When is dog boarding busiest in Exeter?
Boarding demand in Exeter peaks over Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays, when local families and University of Exeter staff travel and kennels fill early. St Leonards and Pennsylvania owners often book overnight hosts weeks ahead, so opening your calendar early helps you catch the seasonal rush.
