North & Central London
Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Angel
Live-in care for the dogs and cats of Angel, from Upper Street to the canal.
Your sitter stays in your home overnight and follows your pets' agreed routine. We agree how long your pets can be left alone, including evenings, before booking. This is live-in care rather than drop-in visits, daycare or boarding elsewhere.
Angel is busy outside but surprisingly residential once you step away from Upper Street. Pets live in everything from Georgian terraces to modern flats around City Road Basin, and live-in sitting lets them remain in that familiar environment when you travel. Your sitter stays in the property, follows the feeding and care instructions you leave, and gives your pet a consistent person to come home to.
Dogs have the Regent's Canal, Barnard Park and Duncan Terrace Gardens nearby, as well as Highbury Fields a little further north. We'll normally follow the walks your dog already knows rather than changing their routine for the sake of it. Cats can remain happily at home too, with someone there in the evenings and usually for much of the working day.
What we cover in Angel
Dog sitting in Angel
Your sitter lives in, so your dog's routine carries on unchanged — the same walks round Regent's Canal towpath, the same meal times, the same sofa at the end of the day. No kennel, no car journey, no settling-in period.
Cat sitting in Angel
Cats do badly with upheaval, so we do not move them. No carrier, no cattery, no unfamiliar smells — your sitter comes to Angel and fits around your cat rather than the other way round.
House sitting in Angel
Because your sitter lives in for the whole stay, the house is occupied the entire time you are away — lights on, post picked up, nothing sitting on the mat advertising an empty flat in Angel. It comes with the pet care rather than instead of it.
Where we walk dogs in Angel
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Regent's Canal towpath
A convenient traffic-free route from City Road Basin for longer walks east or west.
Barnard Park
A useful neighbourhood green space for everyday outings from the northern side of Angel.
Duncan Terrace Gardens
A small and peaceful local option for shorter walks close to Upper Street.
Cats in Angel
Angel's canal-side and central flats are home to plenty of indoor cats. A live-in sitter means they can keep their own surroundings, feeding routine and familiar evening company instead of adapting to a cattery.
