Why London cat owners choose in-home sitting
London has over 600,000 cats — more than any other UK city. With most owners in flats or terrace houses, keeping cats in their own space during trips is especially important. Our sitters cover every postcode from N1 to SW11.
Zero territorial disruption
Cats are creatures of habit. Your home is their safe zone. An in-home sitter keeps their world exactly as they left it.
Identity verified
Every UrPetPals sitter is ID-checked before their first booking. You can read verified reviews and check profiles before committing.
Photo updates every visit
Your sitter sends photos at each visit. You'll know your cat is settled, comfortable, and behaving exactly as expected.
Medication management
Many sitters are experienced with tablets, liquid medications, eye drops, and prescription diets. Just mention your cat's needs when posting.
Secure Stripe payments
All payments handled through Stripe. No cash, no awkwardness. Pay securely through the platform.
Less stress on return
Cats who stay home during owner travel consistently show less anxious behaviour on return than those who visited a cattery.

Are London cat sitters properly vetted?
Every UrPetPals sitter is identity-verified before accepting any bookings. You can read verified reviews from London cat owners and see full profiles — qualifications, experience, photos — before committing.
My cat is an indoor flat cat. Can you cater for that?
Yes — most of our London bookings are for indoor cats in flats. Your sitter will follow your entry instructions, keep all doors and windows secure, and make sure your cat stays stimulated during their visit.
I have multiple cats. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Multi-cat households are very common in London. Additional cats typically add £3–5 per visit. Mention the number of cats when posting your job.
Can I get a cat sitter in London at short notice?
Often yes. Many London sitters can accommodate 24–48 hour bookings, especially during weekdays. For holidays and bank holiday weekends, book at least 2 weeks ahead — the best sitters fill up fast.
What happens if my return is delayed?
Let your sitter know as early as possible. Most sitters can extend their booking at the daily rate. UrPetPals sitters are flexible — they know life doesn't always go to plan.
