My mum always knew I’d work with animals. She was right.

Live-in pet sitting across London

• Anxious pets
• Medication routines
• Live-in care

My mum still tells the story of a trip to a garden centre when I was a child. A storm broke out, and a frightened parrot was screeching at the thunder. I gently stroked him, and he settled down. She says she knew then that I’d end up working with animals.

It took me a little longer to realise she was right.

I’m Marcus, founder of Happy at Home Pets. With more than five years of professional experience and over 100 sits completed, I’ve built my work around something I love: helping pets feel safe and comfortable in their own homes. I’m proud to have received only five-star reviews here and on Rover.

I bring a calm, gentle presence to each home and keep communication clear, so you can relax knowing how your pets are doing. I take time to learn their routines, their little quirks and how long they’re comfortable being left alone. Whether your pet is anxious, needs medication or simply likes things done a particular way, those details matter to me.

I carry out many of the sits myself and personally select the sitters who work with Happy at Home Pets. Before a new pairing goes ahead, we arrange a free meet and greet so you can get to know your sitter and talk through your pets’ care.

Medication and specialist care are agreed individually before booking. Tell me what your pet needs, and we’ll confirm the right care and sitter for them.

Looking after animals is work I love, and I know how much trust it takes to leave yours in someone else’s care. I want you to head away feeling comfortable—and your pets to feel happy at home.

We can't guarantee a specific sitter for your dates, but we'll always do our best to match you with the sitter you've asked for.
