Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Clapham
Live-in care that keeps Clapham pets at home and the Common in their routine.
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.
For plenty of Clapham dogs, the Common is part of the daily routine rather than an occasional outing. Live-in pet sitting lets that carry on while you're away. Instead of your dog adapting to kennels or somebody else's home, the sitter comes to yours and follows the walking, feeding and sleeping arrangements they're already comfortable with.
Clapham's flats and terraces are home to plenty of cats too, including cats with garden access and routines that don't translate well to a cattery. We keep pets in familiar surroundings, can follow medication and senior-care instructions, and send you a photo update each day. Your home also stays occupied for the duration of the booking.
What we cover in Clapham
Dog sitting in Clapham
Dog sitting in your own home, which for most dogs is the difference between a holiday and an ordeal. Clapham Common stays on the daily round, and your sitter sends photos from it.
Cat sitting in Clapham
Your cat stays in their own territory in Clapham, with company in the house rather than a silent flat between visits. Medication and special diets are routine for us.
House sitting in Clapham
The house is lived in while you are gone: post, plants, bins and a light on in the evening. Worth saying plainly that this always comes with looking after your pets — we are not a house-sitting-only agency.
Where we walk dogs in Clapham
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Clapham Common
A large and varied open space that forms the regular walking route for many local dogs.
Abbeville & Old Town loops
Quieter residential routes that can suit shorter outings or dogs who prefer less open space.
Wandsworth Common
Another substantial green option nearby for dogs whose routine includes longer walks.

Clapham pet sitting FAQs
Which parts of Clapham do you cover?
We cover SW4 including Clapham Old Town, Abbeville Village and Clapham North, as well as the surrounding streets towards Balham and Stockwell.
Can my dog keep their normal Clapham Common routine?
Yes. We'll ask about their usual timings, routes, lead rules and exercise requirements before the sit and keep things as familiar as possible.
How much does live-in pet sitting in Clapham cost?
Longer bookings start from around £25 per night. Use the instant quote calculator on our homepage to price your particular dates and requirements.
Do you offer dog walking in Clapham?
Not on its own. Walks are already part of a live-in sit: your dog sitter in Clapham is in the house for the whole stay, so Clapham Common carries on at your usual times and in your usual corner of it. If you need one walk a day while you are at work rather than cover while you are away, a local walker is the better answer.
Is this the same as dog boarding in Clapham?
No. Boarding means your dog moves in with somebody else and adapts to their household. Live-in sitting means nobody moves your dog at all — the sitter comes to your Clapham home, keeps the common walks and the feeding times exactly as they are, and the house stays lived in while you are away.
