Away from home. Not out of mind.

Home Visits & Practical Home Care in London

For clients who travel regularly or spend time between residences, Home Away Care keeps your London home looked after while you are elsewhere. We visit on an agreed schedule, follow your instructions and keep you informed. No pets required.

What's included

What we take care of

Each visit follows a scope agreed with you, and can include:

  • Scheduled visits to suit your travel
  • Plants watered and cared for
  • Post collected and sorted, with anything urgent flagged
  • Deliveries received and put away
  • Household checks within an agreed scope
  • Approved contractors met and let in
  • A short update after every visit

With a pet sit

With or without pets

Home Away Care is designed for homes without pets, or where pets travel with you. If your pets stay at home, an in-home pet sit may suit you better.

See our in-home pet sitting services.

Who it suits
