Cat sitting jobs in Crawley, where Gatwick shifts and long trips away keep visits booked
So much of Crawley works shifts around Gatwick or commutes out on the mainline, which means cats are left at home while owners are on early starts, late finishes or away for days. Petme cat sitters step into that gap with short drop-in visits, one or two a day within a few streets of where they live. Cat visits in Crawley run £14 to £22 per visit, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.
