Knowle, Shirley, Olton: pet sitting work across the whole of Solihull
Solihull spreads from the older streets at Olton out to Knowle and Dorridge, and the housing changes as you go. Sitters who cover walking, drop-ins, daycare, boarding and house sitting can work the whole borough rather than one pocket of it. Set your own rates and keep up to 90% of every booking.

Local know-how pays off in Solihull
Solihull 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 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 each part of Solihull books
Knowle and Dorridge are village-centred with bigger plots and gardens, which is what home boarding and house sits need. Shirley, Olton and Solihull Lodge are denser and closer together, so a weekday round of walks and drop-in visits is workable on foot or a short drive. Monkspath sits between them by the M42, a few minutes from the NEC and Birmingham Airport. A sitter taking every service can hold the short local work near home and the longer stays from the quieter end of the borough.
