West London
Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Chiswick
Live-in care for Chiswick pets, with the river and the parks on the daily round.
Chiswick is family-house territory — Bedford Park, Grove Park, the riverside streets off Strand-on-the-Green — and the pets here are usually part of a busy household routine rather than a quiet one. Live-in sitting fits that. Your sitter moves in for the booking, keeps the walks, feeds and bedtimes as you set them out, and is there every night so the house is not left empty while the family is away.
For dogs, Chiswick has more green space than most of West London: Chiswick House and Gardens welcome dogs across the grounds (with a few on-lead and no-dog zones near the house and kitchen garden), Dukes Meadows runs along the river, and the Thames Path stretches in both directions. Gunnersbury Park is a longer outing. We ask which of these your dog actually uses before the sit rather than picking one.
What we cover in Chiswick
Dog sitting in Chiswick
Live-in dog sitting in Chiswick: your sitter moves in, keeps Chiswick House, Dukes Meadows or the Thames Path on the daily round at your dog's usual times, and is there overnight. For a family dog, home is where the routine is.
Cat sitting in Chiswick
Cat sitting where the cat stays in charge of their own garden. Flap, curfew and feeding spot all stay as you left them, and there is someone in the house overnight rather than a brief visit.
House sitting in Chiswick
A family house that stays lived in — lights on, post in, bins out, the garden watered. We only do this alongside caring for your pets; the occupied home is part of the sit rather than a separate service.
Where we walk dogs in Chiswick
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Chiswick House and Gardens
Sixty-odd acres of parkland on the doorstep. Dogs welcome across most of the grounds, with on-lead and dog-free areas near the house that the sitter respects.
Dukes Meadows and the Thames Path
Flat riverside walking in either direction — towards Barnes and Hammersmith one way, Kew the other.
Gunnersbury Park
A longer round for dogs who need more, with open fields and lakes at the north-western end of W4.
Cats in Chiswick
Chiswick cats are mostly garden cats in terraced houses, often with a flap and a preferred neighbour. The sitter keeps your arrangements — flap open or shut, indoors at night or not — and is home overnight so nobody is left out unexpectedly.

Chiswick pet sitting FAQs
Do you cover Chiswick as well as Hammersmith?
Yes. Chiswick extends our West London range along the river from Hammersmith, and we cover W4 from Turnham Green down to Grove Park and Strand-on-the-Green.
Can the sitter walk my dog in Chiswick House grounds?
Yes. Dogs are welcome across most of the grounds, and the sitter keeps to the on-lead and dog-free areas the estate marks near the house and kitchen garden. If your dog's usual walk is the river instead, we follow that.
Are you insured for Chiswick bookings?
Yes. £5m public liability, £75k pet injury cover and £10k for lost keys and locksmith callouts, in the company's own name. Certificates are available before you confirm.
Do you offer dog walking in Chiswick?
Not as a separate service. Walks are part of the live-in sit — your dog sitter in Chiswick is already in the house, so the river or the park stays on the daily round at your dog's usual times. If you only want a walker during the working day, a local walker will suit you better.
Is this the same as dog boarding in Chiswick?
No. Boarding moves your dog into someone else's house for the booking. Live-in sitting keeps your dog in yours, with their own garden, bed and walks, and keeps the house lived in while you are away.
