A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Barking and Dagenham

Barking and Dagenham has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.

When owners travel

Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.

Know your Barking and Dagenham areas

What should I check on a winter cat visit in Barking and Dagenham?
Check the home as well as the cat. On a Barking and Dagenham winter visit that means confirming the heating is still on, topping up water that sits near a draughty window, keeping the litter and feeding routine exactly as the owner left it, and flagging anything odd straight away. Owners travelling over Christmas rebook the sitters who notice the house too.
