Local dog walkers regularly use Stanmer Park, Preston Park, Hove Park and the South Downs for solo and group walks. Beach access is restricted in summer, but year-round walks are popular along the seafront west of Hove. Cat sitters cover home visits across Kemptown, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Hanover and Hove.
Pricing in Brighton sits at the higher end for a non-London city. Expect £14–£20 for a 30-minute solo dog walk, £12–£17 per dog for a small group walk and £12–£16 per cat-sitting visit. Home boarding usually starts at £30–£40 per night.
Brighton & Hove City Council licenses boarding, daycare and breeding businesses under the Animal Welfare Regulations. Many local providers are well versed in apartment-living dogs and offer flexible drop-in visits, which suits the city's busy lifestyle.
