Local know-how pays off in Croydon
Croydon 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 Croydon areas
Most cat bookings cluster Addiscombe to South Croydon. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
Cat visits between tram stops
All Tramlink routes use West Croydon, a stop on a one-way loop around central Croydon. One route runs out to New Addington, so a round of cat visits can reach it by tram. A visit means food, fresh water, a clean litter tray and a check on the flat or house.
