Why sit with us
You care for the pets. We handle the rest.
- We find the clients and do the marketing, so you never have to chase work
- Every sit comes with a care pack prepared with the owner: routines, medical needs, vet and emergency contacts, and house notes
- You choose the sits that suit your schedule
- An agreed fee for each sit, based on its length, the number of pets and the care needed
- Someone to call on for support during a sit
Who it suits

Experienced pet sitters who want steady, well-matched sits in London without the work of finding and managing clients.
