Pet Sitting in Dalston
A familiar face at home while you're away, for Dalston's dogs and cats.
Dalston has a real mix of homes, from flats around Dalston Square and Kingsland High Street to quieter residential streets towards Shacklewell. Whatever the property, the principle of our service is the same: instead of sending your pet somewhere unfamiliar, the sitter comes to stay with them. Their food, sleeping arrangements and day-to-day routine can remain much as they are when you're home.
For dogs, Hackney Downs, Clissold Park and London Fields give plenty of options nearby, although we'll normally stick to the routes and timings your dog already knows. Cats can simply carry on being cats in their own territory. As our sitters tend to work remotely or flexibly, pets also get considerably more company than they would from a quick drop-in visit.
Where we walk dogs in Dalston
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Hackney Downs
A generous stretch of open space close to Dalston and a useful option for everyday dog walks.
Clissold Park
A larger park towards Stoke Newington with varied paths and plenty to keep curious dogs occupied.
London Fields
Another easy local option for dogs whose usual walks take them south from Dalston.
Cat sitting in Dalston
Live-in sitting is a simple option for Dalston's indoor and flat-based cats: they don't have to travel anywhere or adjust to a new environment. Their sitter comes to them, keeps to the instructions you leave and is around for proper company rather than a brief feeding visit.

Dalston pet sitting FAQs
Can you pet sit in a Dalston flat without a garden?
Yes. A garden isn't required. Dogs can follow their usual outdoor walking routine, while indoor cats remain in the home and continue with the routine they're used to.
Will you follow my dog's normal Dalston walks?
Yes. Tell us where, when and how your dog normally walks and we'll aim to keep that pattern consistent rather than changing things unnecessarily while you're away.
