Why In-Home Sitting

No kennels.
No compromise.

Dropping your pet at a kennel is stressful for everyone. An unfamiliar place, surrounded by other anxious animals, is not where your pet wants to be. In-home pet sitting in London removes all of that.

Your pet sleeps in their own bed, walks their usual routes, eats on their schedule, and is cared for by people who have taken the time to genuinely know them.

No kennel stress

Familiar home, familiar smells, familiar routine. Calm and settled throughout.

Undivided attention

Your pet has our full focus, not a fraction shared across a busy facility.

Home security

An occupied home while you travel. Post collected, everything in order.

Medication & special needs

We handle complex routines, medication, and dietary requirements with care.

Fully insured

We are fully insured for pet sitting and house sitting, giving you complete peace of mind.

For the pets

No unfamiliar crates. No anxious animals nearby. Just the sights, smells, and routines of home with someone who genuinely loves animals looking after them.

For the owners

Your home is occupied, your pet is calm, and you receive daily updates. You can go away and actually enjoy it, knowing everything is as you left it.

For your home

We are clean, respectful, and treat every home as our own. Returned in the same condition we found it, or better.

About Us

Meet Kat
& James

We are a London-based couple from Australia and New Zealand, well-travelled, quietly professional, and genuinely animal-obsessed. Pets have always been central to both of our lives and we have never known a home without them.

Kat works remotely as a journalist, producer, and qualified personal trainer. James brings 13 years of hospitality management alongside experience in design and horticulture. Between our flexible schedules, one of us is almost always at home, meaning your pet is rarely left alone.

Together we offer something rare: two experienced, professional adults who treat every sit with the seriousness it deserves. We communicate proactively, keep homes to a high standard, and genuinely love the animals in our care.

FAQ

Common
questions

What does in-home pet sitting involve?

We stay in your home for the full duration of your trip, caring for your pet in their own environment. No kennels, no drop-offs, no upheaval. Your pet keeps their normal routine throughout.

Which areas of London do you cover?

We sit across London. Get in touch with your postcode and we will confirm whether we are available in your area. We particularly enjoy working in central and inner London neighbourhoods.

Do you meet the pet before the sit?

Always. We arrange a meet and greet before every sit so your pet is comfortable with us before you leave. There is no charge for this and we would never skip it.

Will my pet be left alone?

We both work flexible schedules and between the two of us, one of us is almost always at home. Your pet is rarely, if ever, left on their own during a sit.

Can you administer medication?

Yes. We are experienced with pets who need medication, special diets, or more attentive care. Just let us know the details when you get in touch.

How do I know my home is in safe hands?

We have sat for over 30 families and every single one has returned to a clean, well-kept home. We treat every property with the same respect we would want shown to our own.

Client Reviews

What families
are saying

Every review is from a real family we have sat for. We will let our clients speak for themselves.

Kat and James were delightful. They kept us updated with photos and videos of Foxy, who settled beautifully, including a photo of her on their bed! We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. We heartily recommend them.

T
Foxy

They spent an evening beforehand getting to know our Bassets Thelma and Louise and both took an instant liking to them. Plenty of updates while we were away and the home was left in perfect condition. Highly recommended.

B
Thelma & Louise

Absolutely wonderful with Bella. Daily messages and photos gave me real peace of mind. When Bella had a small cut, Katarina was genuinely concerned and ready to take her to the vet. That level of care speaks for itself.

L
Bella

They took such great care of Maximo and our flat. We felt completely at ease knowing Max was in such capable hands. Will absolutely try to book them again, he loved them so much.

K
Maximo

Katarina and James gave Albus his meds, took him on long walks and outings, and Kat responded to every message. They are the sort of people you want as family, not just trusted sitters. I would welcome them back tomorrow.

B
Albus

It was our first time using a sitter and Kat and James put us at ease very quickly. Incredibly friendly and conscientious, with regular updates and pictures throughout. We came back to a beautifully clean home. Would highly recommend.

S
Daijin

Kat arrived early on departure day to settle Cookie before we left, a small gesture that made an enormous difference. Regular photo updates throughout and we came home to a clean house and a clearly well-cared-for dog.

I
Cookie

Genuinely kind, trustworthy, and communicative from the very start. Lots of updates, the place was spotless, and you can tell they truly care about animals. The experience was so smooth that I already have them booked again.

G
Mia

A lovely, friendly, and well-communicating couple who took great care of my dogs. All interactions before, during, and after the sit were easy and effective. I would be happy to have them back any time.

P
Max & Luna

The best house sitters we have had. Excellent care for our two dogs, super responsive, regular updates with photos, and the house was immaculate on our return. I would have them back in a heartbeat.

A
Sebastian & Piccolo

Katarina and James were absolutely lovely, super kind, caring, and excellent communicators from the start. They kept in touch regularly with updates and adorable photos of Remi, and it was clear they gave him lots of love and attention. He was happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend them and would happily welcome them back.

L
Remi

Katarina and James were great house sitters. They took very good care of our pets and our home. Katarina was very responsive throughout the planning and provided lots of updates while we were away. I would happily recommend them to others.
