Cat sitting jobs in London, where flats and frequent travellers keep visits booked

That is exactly the gap Petme cat sitters fill, one or two short visits a day within a few streets of home. Cat visits in London run £15 to £25 per visit, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Where cat visits cluster across the capital
Cat demand in London sits with flat-dwelling renters and commuters who have no garden and travel often, so the visits stack up in areas like Hackney, Islington and Clapham. Camden, Shoreditch and Greenwich follow close behind, full of young professionals and students who keep indoor cats and want a trusted face popping in twice a day. Because most owners want a sitter within a short walk or one tube stop, working two or three neighbouring postcodes beats chasing bookings across the whole city, and London is the one place you can do it all without a car.

Is there cat sitting work for multi-cat and medication visits in London?
Yes. Plenty of London households keep two or more cats in one flat, and owners often need a sitter comfortable with routine medication or insulin during a single visit. You set which of these you take on and price them into your rate per visit, and many sitters in areas like Hackney and Islington build steady repeat work this way.

London cat visits peak around travel, so the summer holidays from mid-July through August, October half-term, the Christmas-to-New-Year stretch and Easter are your fullest weeks, while February is the quietest. Owners who leave the city book these dates early, so opening your calendar ahead of each break in areas like Clapham or Greenwich is how you lock in the repeat rounds.
