A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Exeter

Exeter 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 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 Exeter areas

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

Breeds you will meet in Exeter

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

House Sitting Jobs in Exeter

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Exeter.

How much do house sitters earn per night in Exeter?
House sitting on Petme in Exeter runs £32 to £52 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Exeter?
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 Exeter?
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 Heavitree or St Leonards. No assigned bookings and no minimum nights.
What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including house sitting, includes £20,000 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 Heavitree or St Leonards.
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 Exeter?
That the house stays warm and looks lived in. On a Exeter 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.
How much do house sitters earn per night in Exeter?
Exeter house sitting runs £32 to £52 a night and you set your own rate. Larger homes and longer trips are fair reasons to price towards the upper end. You keep up to 90%.
When is house sitting busiest in Exeter?
Term breaks and the summer, when university households can travel for weeks at a time, alongside the usual school holidays. Opening the long summer window early gives owners time to plan around you.
