Moving with pets
Relocating to London with Pets
How we can help
Settling your pets in. In-home pet sitting in your new London home, keeping meals, walks and bedtime as close to their usual routine as possible while everyone adjusts, with updates by WhatsApp.
Find out more →Moving day. Removal crews, open doors and boxes everywhere are when dogs slip out and cats hide. We can keep your pets calm and safely out of the way while the move happens, then help them settle in the new house.
Unpacking and organising your new home. Boxes unpacked room by room, wardrobes and drawers arranged, kitchens and pantries set up, storage organised and packaging cleared.
Find out more →Packing up before a move. For moves within London or out of a London home: sorting and decluttering, packing room by room, wardrobes packed with care and boxes clearly labelled. We work alongside your removal company and don't transport belongings ourselves.
Find out more →While you're between homes. If you are staying in a hotel or serviced apartment while you look for somewhere to live, we can look after your dog there while you are at viewings, school visits or the office.
Find out more →The practical bits. Deliveries received, cleaners and contractors let in, post sorted and appointments booked, while you find your feet.
