West London
Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Holland Park
Live-in care for Holland Park pets, with the park itself on the daily round.
Holland Park's big Victorian villas, garden-square terraces and mansion flats around the park are home to a lot of dogs who know the woodland paths better than their owners do. Live-in sitting keeps those walks where they are. Your sitter stays in your home for the booking, follows the routine you leave — food, walks, medication, alarm codes — and is there every evening and overnight.
The park is the obvious draw, and we know its rules: dogs are welcome on leads across most of it but not in the Kyoto Garden or the formal gardens, so the sitter sticks to the woodland and the open lawns. Kensington Gardens is a longer walk to the east for dogs who need more, and Avondale Park is a quick round close to the Notting Hill end. Cats, as ever, stay put in their own territory with someone in the house overnight.
What we cover in Holland Park
Dog sitting in Holland Park
A dog sitter who lives in your Holland Park home, so the park stays on the daily round — on a lead, out of the Kyoto Garden, at the times your dog expects. No kennel, no car journey, no settling-in period.
Cat sitting in Holland Park
Cat sitting where the cat does not have to go anywhere. Garden access or indoor, the sitter keeps your arrangements and is there overnight rather than passing through.
House sitting in Holland Park
A villa or flat that stays lived in while you are away — lights on, post in, bins out, alarm set. We do this alongside caring for your pets; the occupied home comes with the sit rather than being a separate booking.
Where we walk dogs in Holland Park
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Holland Park
Woodland paths and open lawns on the doorstep. Dogs on leads, and kept out of the Kyoto Garden and formal gardens as the park rules require.
Kensington Gardens
A longer walk east along Kensington High Street for dogs who need more space than the park offers.
Avondale Park
A small, quick green at the northern end for the first and last outing of the day.
Cats in Holland Park
Holland Park cats range from garden-access cats in the villas to indoor cats in mansion flats. Either way, the sitter keeps your arrangements — cat flap open or shut, feeding times, which room is theirs — rather than imposing new ones.

Holland Park pet sitting FAQs
Do you cover Holland Park as well as Notting Hill and Kensington?
Yes. Holland Park sits between those two pages in our West London range, so W11, W14 and W8 are all covered by the same sitters.
Can my dog go in Holland Park with the sitter?
Yes, on a lead, and staying out of the Kyoto Garden and the formal gardens where dogs are not allowed. If your dog usually walks somewhere else, tell us and the sitter will keep to that instead.
Are you insured for Holland Park bookings?
Yes. £5m public liability, £75k pet injury cover and £10k for lost keys and locksmith callouts, all in the company's own name. Certificates available before you confirm.
Do you offer dog walking in Holland Park?
Walks are part of the live-in sit rather than a separate service. Your dog sitter in Holland Park is already in the house, so the park round carries on at the times your dog knows. If you only need a midday walker while you are at work, a local walker will suit you better.
Is this the same as dog boarding in Holland Park?
No. Boarding means your dog moves into somebody else's home for the booking. Live-in sitting brings the sitter to your home, so your dog keeps their own bed, their own park and their own timetable, and the house stays occupied.
