Local know-how pays off in Solihull
Solihull 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 Solihull areas
Most bookings cluster Shirley to Dorridge. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Solihull
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.

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Solihull.
How much do house sitters earn per night in Solihull?
House sitting on Petme in Solihull runs £30 to £48 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
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.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Solihull?
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 Solihull?
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 Shirley or Knowle. 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 Shirley or Knowle.
What do owners expect from a winter house sit in Solihull?
That the house stays warm and looks lived in. On a Solihull 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 in Solihull?
