In-Home Pet Sitting · London, United Kingdom
Paws & Quarters — In-Home Dog & Cat Sitters, London
Your pet stays home. We take care of the rest.
London in-home pet sitting done properly
While you are away, we move into your home and keep your pet in the place they love. Whether that is a dog who needs daily walks or a cat who needs company and calm, we follow their routine and make sure you are never more than a photo away.
We Come to You
We stay in your home for the full duration of your trip. Your pet never leaves the environment they are comfortable in.
A Meet Before We Start
Before every sit we arrange an introductory meet, either a video call or a visit to your home. We get to know your pet, learn their routine, and make sure you are completely comfortable with us before you go anywhere.
Daily Updates
Photos, videos, and messages throughout your trip so you can enjoy your time away with genuine peace of mind.
Your Home, Immaculate
We treat your home as our own. Mail collected, plants watered, everything tidy. Every family returns to a happy, settled pet and a spotless home.
Please note: we do not sit for untrained or aggressive dogs. We want every sit to be a safe, calm experience for your pet, your home, and ourselves.
No kennels. No compromise.
Booking a trip is stressful enough without worrying about your pet. Kennels are loud, unfamiliar, and full of other anxious animals. Your pet deserves better.
With us, your pet sleeps in their own bed, walks the same routes, and gets one-on-one attention from people who already know them.
Unlike platforms such as Rover or Pawshake, where you are matched with a different stranger each time, Paws & Quarters is always us. Two known, fully insured, professional pet sitters who have met your pet, know your home, and are accountable by name. No algorithms. No uncertainty.
No kennel or cattery stress
Familiar home, familiar smells, familiar routine — for dogs and cats alike.
Dogs walked daily
We walk every dog in our care, sticking to their usual routes and schedule so they stay happy and settled throughout the sit.
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 carry full pet-sitting and house-sitting insurance, so you can travel with complete confidence.
Daily photo updates
Photos, videos, and messages every day, so you always know your pet is happy, settled, and in good hands.
What families are saying
Every review below is from a real client. People who wanted to say something kind, and whose pets we remember by name.
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.

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.
✓ Verified client review
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently asked 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.
Why choose private pet sitters over Rover or Pawshake?
With Paws & Quarters, you always get us. No algorithm, no strangers, no uncertainty. We are fully insured, have a verifiable track record, and you will meet us in person before we ever enter your home alone. Apps cannot guarantee any of that.
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 book a pet sitter in London?
Fill in the form below with your dates, your pet's details, and your area. We'll reply within 24 hours to confirm availability and arrange a free introductory meet. Once everyone is happy, the sit is confirmed.
Is in-home sitting better than a kennel?
For most pets, yes, particularly those who are anxious, elderly, or used to a quiet home. Kennels are noisy and unfamiliar. In-home sitting means your pet keeps their routine, sleeps in their own bed, and stays somewhere they already feel safe. The difference when you return is usually obvious.
No kennels. No strangers. No stress.
Free meet & greet before every sit. Fully insured. Reply within 24 hours.
