A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Kingston upon Thames

Kingston upon Thames 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 owners travel

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 Kingston upon Thames areas

Most bookings cluster Canbury to Surbiton. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Kingston upon Thames

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.

Common questions

Dog Sitting Jobs in Kingston upon Thames

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Kingston upon Thames.

How much can I earn dog sitting in Kingston upon Thames?
Dog boarding on Petme in Kingston upon Thames 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 Canbury and Norbiton.
Can I board dogs in a flat in Kingston upon Thames?
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 Kingston upon Thames.
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 Kingston upon Thames?
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 Canbury or Norbiton. You set your rates and availability per service.
Does overnight dog sitting in Kingston upon Thames slow down over the winter?
No, it shifts. Overnight stays in Kingston upon Thames 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.
How do I become a dog sitter in Kingston upon Thames?
To become a dog sitter in Kingston upon Thames on Petme, you must be 18 or over and pass ID verification. You also need a smartphone with the Petme app. You then choose overnight dog sitting, the areas you cover and your rate.
Can students take dog sitting jobs in Kingston upon Thames?
Yes, students aged 18 or over can take dog sitting jobs in Kingston upon Thames, since Petme has no assigned shifts. Kingston University had 18,815 students in 2024/25, with its Penrhyn Road campus near the town centre.
