There is no mystery as to why this is one of Brighton’s most visited parks. Situated on the outskirts of the city, the council notes that “Stanmer Park and Estate is an excellent example of the vast open countryside available in Brighton”. The area is very popular with dogs in Brighton thanks to the vast and beautiful areas of woodland and open parkland. There are lots of walks to choose from, including in the surrounding countryside if you and your dog are feeling adventurous.
If you have a car or fancy a trip just outside Brighton, we recommend getting out to Devil’s Dyke. Situated on the South Downs, it has some of the most spectacular views of the area. The dog walking is extensive and so if you want to take your borrowed dog out or your own - why not make it a real pawsome adventure? According to the National Trust, John Constable described the panorama from Devil’s Dyke as 'the grandest view in the world' - we’ll see you there…
Come rain or shine, Brighton beaches offer epic places to go whilst dog sitting in Brighton year round. From 1 October to 30 April, dogs are permitted on all beaches. If you’re visiting outside of this period, check first to see which beaches are dog friendly.

Located right on the Promenade, forming part of the Victorian arches underneath the King’s Road, this is a perfect spot for a bite to eat after you’ve worn yourselves out on Brighton’s pebble beach. For early birds, we recommend the breakfast. Yum!
If you see yourself as a dog sitter in Brighton (in the most literal sense) why not visit this dog friendly cafe? Metrodeco even do doggy tea parties!

Brighton and Hove buses have names (obviously!). One such bus got its name from a reckless police dog called Bruce - he was sadly put to sleep after biting an offender - the public were so upset by this they demanded recompense for Bruce. Bruce is now remembered on the number 12 bus route. If you’re dog minding in Brighton why not take your pooch to admire the 12 bus.
