Can I board dogs in an apartment in Newcastle upon Tyne?
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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

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 Newcastle?
If you board dogs in your Newcastle home as a business, Newcastle City Council can require a home boarding licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. It covers space, safety and record-keeping. Occasional sitting for friends usually sits below that threshold, so check with the council before you scale up your bookings.
Is there more overnight boarding demand in Newcastle around Christmas?
Yes, boarding demand in Newcastle spikes hard over Christmas, New Year and school holidays, when owners in Jesmond, Gosforth and Heaton travel and kennels fill early. Sitters who open their calendar weeks ahead for those peak dates in Petme tend to stack the most overnight bookings and the highest nightly earnings.
