East London
Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Hackney
Live-in pet care in one of the parts of London we know best.
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.
Hackney is one of the parts of London we know best. We've looked after pets across the area, and with London Fields, Hackney Downs, Well Street Common and Victoria Park nearby, local dogs tend to have walking routines they know extremely well. Rather than changing all that when you travel, we come to them and follow the walks, feeding times and house rules you already have in place.
Live-in care also works particularly well for Hackney's cats and multi-pet households. Your pets stay together in familiar surroundings, with someone in the home overnight and usually working remotely during the day. We're comfortable with nervous pets, rescues, medication and senior-pet routines, and you'll receive a photo update each day so you can see how everyone is getting on.
What we cover in Hackney
Dog sitting in Hackney
A dog sitter who stays in your home rather than taking your dog somewhere else. Walks stay where they have always been — London Fields and Hackney Downs — and nobody has to learn a new routine while you are away.
Cat sitting in Hackney
Cat sitting that leaves your cat exactly where they are. Same windows, same hiding places, same routine, with someone in the house overnight rather than dropping in for ten minutes.
House sitting in Hackney
House sitting here means somebody is genuinely there, every night, not passing through. Plants watered, post in, bins out. We only do it alongside caring for your pets — that is the service, and the occupied house comes with it.
Where we walk dogs in Hackney
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
London Fields
Right in the middle of Hackney and a firm favourite for local dogs, from quick morning loops to longer sociable walks.
Hackney Downs
A spacious local option for longer walks and dogs who appreciate a little more room.
Well Street Common & Victoria Park
Useful options towards South Hackney, from a quick common walk to a much bigger circuit around Victoria Park.
Cats in Hackney
For Hackney cats with established territories, garden access or very particular routines, moving elsewhere can create unnecessary disruption. With live-in care, they stay at home and your sitter works around the routine they're already comfortable with.
