I’ve been using the London cat sitting company for more than two years and is all about trust and their professionalism that makes them unique. Karen has been helping me with Mila and I can’t thank her enough - small details like taking care of my plants when it wasn’t requested or needed. Thanks for all the support and help !read more

Finally a pet sitting service we can trust. Having had several bad experiences, we are happy we found this service. We immediately felt at ease with our cat sitter and our cat Peel loved her!

London Cat Sitting Company has been a LIFE LINE to me as I travel frequently for business. Usually I am able to give a week or two, sometimes more, but occasionally, it has been less than 48 hours notice and they have never failed me. I have always had the same cat sitter (Natasha) whom I felt comfortable with, from the minute I met her.read more

I first used this service first about 10 years ago, when the owner Remi was a solo cat sitter and was very satisfied. We moved to an area she didn't cover but found her again recently and was happy to hear she has expanded to cover all of London and beyond. Very happy with our new cat sitter and will call on them again.read more

Remi and her crew have been taking wonderful care of our 4 cats since she was recommended by our vet, 2 years ago. Ellie our cat Sitter first met at our home and spent time getting to know all 4 of them. We get updates every day with photos and videos. For long trips we sometimes book overnights, so our cats have someone at home. Over 2 years and at least 10 trips, (some over 2 + weeks) our cat Sitter has become a second mum to them! We can’t recommend London Cat Sitting Company enough.read more

A great friendly and professional cat sitting service I would recommend to people in the London area. We were away for 3 weeks, which is a life time for us to be away from our Cecil.

This service is brilliant! Francesca was truly wonderful. She kept in contact with me and sent videos of my very happy, purring cat, who clearly adored her. Annabeth, who visited briefly, was also fantastic with him. Many, many thanks to the London Cat Sitting Company. I came home to a very happy cat and will be calling upon your services again!read more

A Happy client of 4 years who has never considered using another pet sitting service and why should I? As a very frequent traveler, I depend on a solid, professional team and that is what I get. Daily updates from my cat sitter reassures me. Best of all, having recently moved from Finsbury Park to Dulwich, I am pleased to not have to switch to another service, because a company of London Cat Sitting Company stature and dedication has cat sitters through out London. Highly recommended.read more

I've used this service since I first moved to London, initially in Homerton and now in Leytonstone. Great cat sitters who are all as equally cat crazy as us owners and this really reassures. Always send me photos and daily updates of them with my cats. Had a few tech issues on their website when they updated but was soon resolved once I flagged. Thanks!read more

I’ve been using the London Cat Sitting company ever since I got my floofy weirdo, Ellie, about 2 years ago. Remi is very responsive and the cat sitters have always done a great job. This year Ellie has been looked after by Heather, who does a fantastic job and who’s knowledge of cats is seriously impressive. I’m always happy that my cat, and my flat, are in good hands while I’m away. Thoroughly recommend to anyone in London.read more

I have been a customer of London Cat Sitting for 5 years and have experienced nothing but the best service. The cat sitters have been brilliant and Remi the owner, has always been very pleasant to deal with. She runs a tight ship and doesn’t take any prisoners, hence the vindictive label some of these reviewers come up with.read more

I have used the London Cat Sitting Company for the past 6 months and can not fault them. My cat sitter has always been kelley who has been a star. A warmer more compassionate person you would be hard pressed to find. Our kittens adore her and we are always grateful for the daily updates she sends with pictures detailing how her time with them went, which give us peace of mind. A top notch service.read more

I am so so pleased with the London Cat Sitting Company! They have been immensely helpful with all of my cat sitting needs - able to jump in last minute and accommodate with such care. I love getting all the pictures and updates from my sitter (all of whom have been so, so lovely). I can tell my sweet cat is getting the best care and is being adored by these lovely sitters. I am forever grateful for this service and the love they show for all kitties. Cannot recommend highly enough!read more

Just back from holidays and I wanted to leave some feedback on how things have gone with the cat sitting while I was away. Fen, who has been looking after Small and keeping an eye on the house, has been completely and utterly wonderful. Her regular updates were hugely reassuring and I've come home to find the house still there, the plants watered and a contented cat. I'm sure you already knew that Fen is fab (sounds like a t-shirt slogan), but I wanted to tell you anyway. I am so pleased I stumbled on the London Cat Sitting Company and on Fen. I can't thank her enough.read more

This cat and dog sitting review is long overdue. I have nothing but high praises for Remi and her team who have helped us with our dogs and cat for over 6 years. Although Remi herself stopped offering dog boarding many years ago, she made an exception and our two rascals look forward to spending their holidays with her and her two dogs in her home. Their excitement upon getting to her home has to be witnessed, it’s sheer joy watching all the dogs run around like maniacs for the first 10 minutes upon arriving. All our cat sitters have cared for our cat in a professional and loving way and we have no complaints whatsoever.read more

A wonderful Pet Sitting service that ticks all the boxes and lead by an intuitive, personable, kind owner. I can go away on my regular business travels in the knowledge that my cats are receiving the best care I would want for them. Daily updates are reassuring, a nifty app that makes booking, cancellation, communicating with my cat sitter and payments, seamless. They come highly recommended by a happy cat owner.read more

Fabulous and caring service that offers such a friendly and comprehensive level of professional care. I recommend them highly and feel very happy and secure when going away-as does my cat! Affordable home-care saves uprooting your cat from the comfort of their home and gives you piece of mind! Also add in a daily blog with pictures and updates on how your cat is getting on without you and you will feel relaxed about leaving your pet when you go away. Very reassuring.read more

I've been using this company for a few years now and my cats receive very attentive, sensitive service from my sitter, Moira. She's very professional, yet caring, and makes me feel secure during my holidays. I notice a real difference between the times I use her and the ones I leave them in the hands of my neighbour. The app for making bookings is easy to use, which is handy for me as I don't like making (or waiting on) phone calls and like to make and cancel my own bookings, viewing bookings and payments in written form, without dealing with admin staff. However I have dealt with Remi in admin sometimes, and can see why some people have mentioned her in reviews! She's a bit of a livewire so if you get your wires crossed it can get a bit explosive. And we did once, but I then had to call back a few months later due to a new health issue with one of my cats and the potential for a vet visit during my absence. Suddenly she was really caring and seemed to have forgotten or simply not care about our spat. But I prefer to just make my bookings online. Janice, the other admin lady, is really sweet though. So, frankly, I prefer to ask for Janice when I do have to discuss anything over the phone.read more

We have used The London Cat sitting company now for about 18 months and we were always very happy with their excellent service! Moira always came to look after our 3 legged Simba. She is highly experienced and really understands cats. And every time she visited we got a detailed update with lovely pictures on the portal. Simba just loves her! It was always very comforting knowing Moira was looking after him while we were away. We are moving to Hertfordshire now so we will miss Moira and the Cat sitting company very much! We highly recommend them! Lots of love Chris, Yvonne and Simba. Xread more

I had The London Cat Sitting Company take care of my 3 cats over the Xmas period. They did an excellent job & Giorgiana who was looking after them did a great job. As well as feeding them she changed the litter tray and sent me daily updates along with pictures. I would recommend this service to anyone with cats and would happily use them again.read more

I can't recommend the London Cat Sitting Company highly enough. I was so impressed by the user friendly app along with their professionalism in terms of bookings, invoicing and updates. Meeting our wonderful sitter (Jane) a few days ahead, was so reassuring and our cat absolutely LOVED her. We now refer to her as the 'Cat Whisperer'. We received twice daily visits and Jane was always so kind to send us pictures and updates. We are using them again and will recommend to everyone who asks.read more

I was in desperate need of a cat-sitter over Christmas and the New Year and the London Cat Sitting company came to my rescue at amazingly short notice. Alice, thank you so much - not just for feeding Bear but giving him the cuddles and attention that mean so much to him. The daily pictures of Bear you sent me were marvellous! I have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone who wants their cat looked after by a genuine cat lover!read more

We’ve had a fantastic experience with this company. When our cat was diagnosed with diabetes a week before we had to go away for a friend’s wedding, I thought we’d have to cancel our plans, but Remi was so helpful on the phone and within an hour had arranged for Robyn to house-sit, feed the cat and administer the insulin. Robyn is just terrific. She’s been helping us out on and off for six months now and is extremely reliable and very kind to our grumpy little cat. I don’t know what we’d do without her.read more

I would definitely recommend the London Cat Sitting Company. I felt safe in the knowledge that our cat was really cared for whilst we were away for Christmas.

We've used Remi's company for the past 2 1/2 years and have never had a bad experience. Over the years, we've had fabulous sitters, who have treated our two kitties as their own.

If you are looking for professional pet care, London Cat Sitting is absolutely wonderful!read more

We have traveled extensively this past year, but it would not have been possible without London Cat Sitting Company. We felt confident leaving our two cats at home knowing they received the best care, love and attention from our wonderful cat sitter. We got daily messages and photo updates which put us at ease. I also have to mention that the online booking system is tremendously efficient!! It makes it so easy for us to book upcoming visits and pay invoices.

London Cat Sitting Service is so incredibly easy to use, everyone is so friendly, and they make going away and leaving your pet at home such a, stress-free process. Each day, our sitter Giorgiana would send us photos of our cat so we could see him whilst away, and be assured he's being well looked after. We've always come back to a healthy, happy cat. I couldn't ask for a better service, and so happy we found them! I will use them again and again. Highly, highly recommended.read more

What a relief it was to finally find a pet sitting service I could finally trust to leave my precious cats with. I felt completely at ease after my initial phone inquiry and was sold upon meeting our cat sitter Caroline, who is everything you want and more.

Many thanks to the entire team of London Cat Sitting Company, who I believe are dedicated to providing the highest quality in cat care.

I have owned London Cat Sitting Company since 2006 and very proud of how much we have grown and the service we provide to cat owners. Unfortunately from success comes envy and over the past couple of months, my company has experienced a barrage of people who have never used our service leaving 1 star reviews. Some of these such as the latest from CarrieAnne Tough are from people who have never contacted us or have disagreed with something I have blogged about or said on social media and some from clients we have turned down. In any business there will be clients and even business owners that clash. It's a known fact that I shoot straight from the hip and don't always believe the customer is always right. In 11 years I have seen it all. A testament to the quality service we provide is our success and longevity. I will be providing a longer statement on the web site and our social media platforms shortly.read more

I have been a customer for about 4 years and can highly recommend London Cat Sitting Company. I had the same cat sitter for 3 years until she left and replaced by an equally wonderful person who sends us the most hilarious updates about our cats. They are everything you want in a cat sitting service caring, professional and trustworthy. I've notice some very unfair comments made and not certain all have come from genuine clients. The company founder Remi, takes no prisoners and deals with difficult customers accordingly.read more

I was very happy with Frank looking after my baby for a few days whilst I was away. This was my first time leaving my baby girl and I was very apprehensive at first. But everything turned out to be just fine! She was well looked after and didn't seem stressed out at all! Also, I find the daily updates from cat sitters extremely reassuring. I am a very apprehensive cat mom I must say, spoiling my baby girl and everything...But you know what? If you really want to go on a short break whether that's holiday or other stuff, this is the one company to ask to look after your fur babies!read more

London Cat Sitting Company is an excellent service with reliable, capable cat sitters and a great founder/manager orchestrating their fine, trustworthy and easy to use service. My cats are always relaxed and happy and at home when I return from times away, and I love getting updates and photos from my sitters, who are all very good with my kitties and nice, easy to work with people. The website and portal are easy and safe and reliable, and help and personal touch are all a phone call away. I have used LCS under short notice and had full confidence in the care of my kitties, and it is a great feeling to not worry about things at home while you are away. I would also recommend house sitting services, they will water plants, bring in mail, etc. Very reliable, good service and I have relied on them with confidence. Many thanks to all the team at LCS for their excellent service! Rebecca Clarkeread more

These guys are good. Surprised at the aggro below - they've helped us out a few times and have been good. Not sure what they could do better - you can book online, rates are reasonable when you consider London cost of living, the lady who has done sitting for us is sweet, seems competent and loves cats which are the main qualifications for the role. We once booked late and Remi wasn't buzzing about it but it got sorted - and we were the ones who put that pressure on them not the other way round. We'll keep using - I think most people are happy with their service else they wouldn't have a business.read more

I ran into the owner 4 months ago in a local supermarket and she allowed me to go in front of her at the check out till because I just had a few products. She obviously noticed the cat food and we exchanged a few pleasantries, which included her giving me her business card. So far we have used the service twice and have our third booking for Christmas. Very pleased with the service so far, regular updates from our cat sitter Ale and seamless online booking system and admin staff. We have always depended on friends, but that was getting awkward. I highly recommend the London Cat Sitting Company.read more

Having handled my former bosses cat sitting bookings for 4 years, there was only one cat sitting service to contact when we took in my mother-in-law’s 2 cats, after she passed away last year. The level of service I have received every time we book, has been the same consistent top notch care my former boss and his cat has always received from London Cat Sitting Company. We have also made use of their house sitting service, when one of the cats was poorly and needed regular medication. Daily updates from our cat sitter Emma is always reassuring. My partner and I (and our two cats) highly recommend them and have done so to friends and family.read more
