Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Battersea
Live-in care for Battersea pets, from park-side terraces to riverside flats.
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.
Battersea has almost every kind of London pet home, from Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to the newer apartments around the Power Station. Live-in sitting works across all of them because your pet doesn't need to adjust to somewhere new. We stay in your home, follow the care routine you've set and give your dog or cat the reassurance of familiar surroundings while you're away.
For dogs, Battersea Park is the obvious local asset, with the Thames Path providing another useful route along the river. We'll follow the exercise pattern your dog already knows rather than automatically giving every pet the same walk. Cats, rescues, senior pets and animals with medication routines can all be cared for at home, with daily updates included.
What we cover in Battersea
Dog sitting in Battersea
Your sitter lives in, so your dog's routine carries on unchanged — the same walks round Battersea Park, 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 Battersea
Cats do badly with upheaval, so we do not move them. No carrier, no cattery, no unfamiliar smells — your sitter comes to Battersea and fits around your cat rather than the other way round.
House sitting in Battersea
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 Battersea. It comes with the pet care rather than instead of it.
Where we walk dogs in Battersea
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Battersea Park
A large riverside park with enough variety for both everyday walks and longer outings.
Thames Path
A flat riverside route that offers an easy alternative to walking entirely within the park.
Clapham Common
Another large nearby green space for dogs whose established routine takes them south.
Cats in Battersea
Indoor cats in Battersea's newer apartment developments can stay completely within their familiar environment with live-in care. Your sitter handles feeding and play as instructed and is around for far more than a short daily visit.
