Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Hampstead
Live-in care that lets Hampstead pets keep home and the Heath.
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.
Hampstead dogs are among the luckiest in London: the Heath gives them hundreds of acres of woods, meadows and paths straight from home. If that's where your dog normally starts the day, there's no reason for it to change just because you're away. Your sitter comes to stay in your home and follows the walking pattern your dog already knows, including the routes, timings and lead rules you specify.
Hampstead's cats and older pets benefit just as much from staying in familiar surroundings. We can follow established medication and senior-care routines, keep garden access as instructed and provide plenty of company throughout the stay. Your property remains occupied while you're travelling, and you'll receive a daily photo update so you can see how your pet is getting on.
What we cover in Hampstead
Dog sitting in Hampstead
Your sitter lives in, so your dog's routine carries on unchanged — the same walks round Hampstead Heath, the same meal times, the same sofa at the end of the day. No kennel, no car journey, no settling-in period.
Cat sitting in Hampstead
Cats do badly with upheaval, so we do not move them. No carrier, no cattery, no unfamiliar smells — your sitter comes to Hampstead and fits around your cat rather than the other way round.
House sitting in Hampstead
Because your sitter lives in for the whole stay, the house is occupied the entire time you are away — lights on, post picked up, nothing sitting on the mat advertising an empty flat in Hampstead. It comes with the pet care rather than instead of it.
Where we walk dogs in Hampstead
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Hampstead Heath
Hundreds of acres of woodland, meadow and paths make the Heath one of London's best places to have a dog on your doorstep.
Golders Hill Park
A more formal green space on the western side of the Heath for a gentler change of pace.
Primrose Hill
A useful southern option for dogs whose established walks extend beyond the Heath itself.
