Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Dulwich
Live-in care for Dulwich pets, with the park and the woods on the daily round.
Dulwich is unusually green for inner London — the Village, the Estate's wide roads, Herne Hill and East Dulwich are all within a few minutes of a big park — and the dogs here are used to using it. Live-in sitting keeps that walk where it is. Your sitter moves into your home for the booking, keeps the routine you set out and is there every night, so the house is never obviously empty and nothing changes for your pet.
Dulwich Park is the daily walk for most SE21 dogs, with Brockwell Park to the west for a bigger round and Peckham Rye to the east. Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood give a proper woodland alternative on the paths, and Belair Park is a quiet short round by the station. Cats in Dulwich are mostly garden cats with strong views about the neighbour's cat; the sitter keeps your flap-and-curfew rules as they are.
What we cover in Dulwich
Dog sitting in Dulwich
A dog sitter who lives in your Dulwich home and keeps the park on the daily round at the usual time. Same bed, same walk, same routine — nothing changes for your dog except who is holding the lead.
Cat sitting in Dulwich
Cat sitting that keeps your cat in their own garden and their own routine. Flap, curfew and feeding spot stay as you left them, with someone home overnight rather than a ten-minute visit.
House sitting in Dulwich
A house that stays lived in while you are away — lights on, post in, bins out, garden watered. We do this alongside caring for your pets; the occupied home comes with the sit rather than being a separate service.
Where we walk dogs in Dulwich
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Dulwich Park
The daily walk for most Dulwich dogs — open grass, a boating lake and wide paths, with on-lead areas by the lake and playground that the sitter respects.
Brockwell Park
A bigger, hillier round to the west towards Herne Hill, with a view back over the city from the top.
Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood
Ancient woodland along the old railway line for dogs who prefer trees to grass — on the paths, and cooler in summer.
Cats in Dulwich
Dulwich cats have gardens, foxes and neighbours' cats to keep an eye on. The sitter keeps your arrangements — flap, curfew, feeding spot — exactly as you leave them, and is in the house overnight rather than visiting.

Dulwich pet sitting FAQs
Do you cover Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and Herne Hill?
Yes. Our South London range takes in SE21, SE22 and SE24 — the Village, the Estate roads, East Dulwich and Herne Hill — and joins up with our Peckham page to the east.
Where will the sitter walk my dog in Dulwich?
Wherever you do. Dulwich Park for most, Brockwell or the woods for dogs who need more, and we ask before the sit rather than deciding on the first morning. Off-lead is your call, and the sitter follows it.
Are you insured for Dulwich bookings?
Yes. £5m public liability, £75k pet injury cover and £10k for lost keys and locksmith callouts, all held in the company's own name. Certificates are available before you confirm.
Do you offer dog walking in Dulwich?
Not on its own. Walks are part of the live-in sit — your dog sitter in Dulwich is already in the house, so the park stays on the daily round at the time your dog expects. If you only need a midday walk while you are at work, a local walker will suit you better.
Is this the same as dog boarding in Dulwich?
No. Boarding sends your dog to live in someone else's home for the booking. Live-in sitting keeps your dog in yours, with their own garden, bed and park, and keeps the house occupied while you are away.
