House sitting jobs in Brighton, where flats have no garden
Brighton is flat-heavy and garden-short, so a pet left at home needs someone in the flat rather than a kennel out of town. Petme house sitters take those stays. House sitting in Brighton runs £40 to £60 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Local know-how pays off in Brighton
Brighton has a mild, wet maritime climate that rarely freezes, 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 Brighton areas
Most bookings cluster Kemptown to Hanover. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Brighton
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.
Where Brighton owners leave the pets at home
Kemptown and Hove carry the busiest overnight books and the highest rates, where flats near the sea have no outside space of their own. Hanover and Seven Dials add younger owners with cats, while Brunswick and Preston Park bring longer holiday stays. The lack of gardens is exactly why house sitting outpaces boarding here.

House Sitting Jobs in Brighton
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Brighton.
How much do house sitters earn per night in Brighton?
House sitting on Petme in Brighton runs £40 to £60 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Brighton?
With house sitting you go to the owner's home; with boarding the pet comes to you. House sitting suits pets that do better in their own space, and it is billed per night the same way.
Can I choose which house sitting jobs I accept in Brighton?
Yes. You review each home and pet, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. You set your nightly rate and your available dates, whether the home is in Kemptown or Hove. No assigned bookings and no minimum nights.
What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including house sitting, includes £17,000 in Protection Plan for the pet in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies whether you stay in Kemptown or Hove.
What does house sitting involve?
You stay in the owner's home and keep their pet's routine: feeding, walks, play, and company overnight, plus basics like mail and plants if asked. Owners book it so their pet stays in familiar surroundings while they travel.
What do owners expect from a winter house sit in Brighton?
That the house stays warm and looks lived in. On a Brighton winter sit owners want the heating held at their setting, post cleared, lights used normally, and the pet's routine unchanged. Agree in the meet and greet what to do if the boiler or a pipe plays up during a cold snap, so nobody is guessing at midnight.
Why does house sitting pay well in Brighton?
The band runs £40 to £60 a night, high for its size. Flats in Kemptown and Hove have no garden, so owners cannot easily use boarding and value someone staying in. You set your own rate within that market.
Do Brighton house sits mostly involve flats?
Yes. Kemptown, Hanover and Brunswick are flat-heavy with little outside space, so walks are part of the routine rather than garden access. Agree the walk times and the route at the meet and greet, since that is the part of the day the pet depends on.
