Live-in pet sitting in Islington
We're Kat and James, and we sit for families across Islington. While you're away, we move in, so your dog or cat stays in the home they know, with the same two people looking after them every day.
Sitting in Islington
A lot of Islington homes are flats and converted terraces without much outdoor space, so a dog's walk times really matter. We keep to the routine you've built, whether that's a lap of Highbury Fields before work or a lead walk along the Regent's Canal towpath.
Indoor cats get the same care: meals on schedule, a clean litter tray, and play and company in the evenings, when most cats want it.
Match days, canals and small gardens
If you live near the Emirates, home match days change the streets around Highbury and Holloway: crowds, closed roads and noise into the evening. We check the fixtures against the dates of your sit and move walks earlier or later, so your dog isn't caught in the rush.
On the Regent's Canal towpath, cyclists and runners come through fast and close, so dogs stay on a short lead there unless you tell us otherwise. Highbury Fields and Caledonian Park are calmer if your dog already knows them.
For cats with a small garden or a balcony, we keep to your rules: in by dark, doors and windows as you leave them, and no new habits for you to undo when you get home.
Nearby
We also sit in Highbury, Canonbury, Angel, Holloway, Stoke Newington and Camden. If you're close by and not sure, send us your postcode.
How it works
Tell us your dates and a little about your pet, and we reply within 24 hours. We then meet you and your pet, at home or on a video call, at no charge. When you leave, we move in and stay overnight for the whole trip, with photos and messages every day until you're home.
Prices
Our prices are the same across London: £50 a night for a cat or small pet, £55 for a small dog up to 15kg and £65 for a large dog over 15kg. Every night is cheaper on stays of 7 nights or more, and each extra pet is £10 or £15 a night. Our guide to pet sitting costs has every rate, or you can work out your exact price.
