South London
Pet, Dog & Cat Sitting in Wimbledon
Live-in care for Wimbledon pets, with the Common on the daily round.
Wimbledon splits into the Village at the top of the hill, with its big houses and the Common on the doorstep, and the town and Southfields below, where the terraces are closer and Wimbledon Park does the job instead. Either way, the dogs here are used to space and routine, and live-in sitting keeps both. Your sitter moves in for the booking, follows the notes you leave and is there every night so the house is not left empty.
Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath together are more than a thousand acres of off-lead woodland and heath, and for most SW19 dogs that is the daily walk. Cannizaro Park is a calmer, on-lead alternative for older dogs, and Wimbledon Park has the lake. We ask which your dog actually uses, and where they run and where they stay on the lead, before the sit rather than guessing on the first morning.
What we cover in Wimbledon
Dog sitting in Wimbledon
Live-in dog sitting in Wimbledon: the sitter moves in, keeps the Common on the daily round at your dog's usual time, and is there overnight. For a dog used to a thousand acres, a kennel is a bad week — home is the answer.
Cat sitting in Wimbledon
Cat sitting that leaves your cat in charge of their own garden. Flap, curfew and feeding spot stay as you left them, with someone in the house overnight rather than a brief visit.
House sitting in Wimbledon
A house that is lived in rather than left — lights on, post in, bins out on the right night. We only do this alongside caring for your pets; the occupied home is part of the sit rather than a separate service.
Where we walk dogs in Wimbledon
We keep your dog's usual routes — these are the local spots our sits here are built around.
Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath
The main event — a huge stretch of woodland, heath and open grass where most Wimbledon dogs run off-lead every day.
Cannizaro Park
Formal gardens and woodland next to the Common, dogs on leads — a gentler round for an older dog or a wet day.
Wimbledon Park
The lake, the athletics track and open grass for the town end of SW19 and Southfields.
Cats in Wimbledon
Wimbledon cats mostly have gardens and mostly come and go as they please. The sitter keeps whatever rule you have — flap open, in at dusk, or indoors entirely — and is home overnight rather than visiting.

Wimbledon pet sitting FAQs
Do you cover Wimbledon Village and Southfields as well as the town?
Yes. Our South London range takes in the whole of SW19 from the Village down through the town centre to Southfields and across to Raynes Park. If you are further out, send your postcode and we will confirm.
Will the sitter take my dog off-lead on the Common?
Only if you do, and only where you say. Tell us where your dog runs and where they stay on the lead, and the sitter follows that exactly rather than making their own judgement on the first morning.
Are you insured for Wimbledon 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 are available before you confirm.
Do you offer dog walking in Wimbledon?
Walks are part of a live-in sit rather than a separate service. Your dog sitter in Wimbledon is already in the house, so the Common stays on the daily round at the usual time. If you only need a walker during the working day, a local walker is the better fit.
Is this the same as dog boarding in Wimbledon?
No. Boarding moves your dog into somebody else's house for the booking. Live-in sitting brings the sitter to yours, so your dog keeps their own bed, their own Common and their own timetable, and the house stays occupied.
