Dog sitting jobs in Stoke-on-Trent, where terraced streets and Keele term-time trips keep boarders busy
Stoke-on-Trent is one of the quietest pet sitting markets in the country, which means owners across the six towns struggle to find someone to board their dog when they travel. Petme dog sitters step into that gap, hosting one or two dogs overnight in a spare room while their people are away for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding in Stoke-on-Trent runs £22 to £35 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Where overnight boarding clusters across the Potteries
Boarding demand in Stoke-on-Trent leans on Trentham and Penkhull, where owners with steady jobs and regular trips need a home to leave their dog in rather than a kennel. Keele University faculty add a term-time layer, booking overnight stays around conferences and mid-semester travel. Hanley and Stoke sit close behind for daycare and walks, so a sitter who works Trentham, Penkhull and the streets between them can keep a diary full without driving the whole city.

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 Stoke-on-Trent?

What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?

Do I need a licence to board dogs in Stoke-on-Trent?
If you board dogs in your home as a business in Stoke-on-Trent, you usually need a home boarding licence from Stoke-on-Trent City Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. Petme sitters keep their bookings within the limits the council allows, and the council can confirm exactly when a licence applies to you.
Does my Penkhull or Trentham home need a garden to board dogs?
A private garden helps in Penkhull and Trentham because owners want somewhere secure for toilet breaks and play, but it is not always essential in Stoke-on-Trent. Sitters near Trentham Gardens or the parks around Penkhull often cover exercise with regular walks instead, and you choose which dogs and sizes suit your space.
