Why In-Home Sitting is Better

Your pet's home is their territory. Moving them causes stress. It doesn't have to.

🏠

No disruption

Your pet stays in their own home — own bed, own smell, own routine. The sitter comes to them, not the other way around.

📱

You're always in the loop

Photo updates every visit, GPS-tracked walks for dogs. You can see exactly what's happening in real time.

Verified sitters only

Every UrPetPals sitter in London is identity-verified. Read real reviews from real owners before booking.

🐾

Better for anxious pets

Pets with anxiety cope far better in their own environment. Catteries and kennels are stressful — home sitting isn't.

💊

Medication handled

Need medication given during visits? Our sitters handle it — you specify the instructions at booking.

What London Pet Owners Say

Verified reviews from real bookings

★★★★★

I was nervous about leaving my cats but the sitter was brilliant — photos every visit, litter always clean, and both cats were completely chilled when I got home. This is the only way to go.

Cat sitting
★★★★★

My elderly dog needs medication and a slow walk — the sitter handled everything perfectly. GPS updates, photos, and she clearly actually loves animals. Couldn't recommend more.

James T.

Labrador, 12

Full-day sit
★★★★★

So much better than a kennel. My dog stays at home in her routine, gets proper walks, and I get photos throughout the day. She's not stressed when I get back — that says everything.
