About Us

Hello from Claire, Founder of Richmond Housesitters

Hello, and a big thank you for spending some of your valuable time with us. I'm Claire, owner of Richmond Housesitters. I've spent most of my adult life caring for dogs, and was lucky enough to share fifteen years of my life with a beautiful rescue greyhound called Jessie.

I ran a very successful dog boarding and pet sitting business in New York, and for nearly a decade Richmond Housesitters have been providing a reputable, reliable and professional house and pet sitting service for the south-west London area, including Kew, Richmond, Ham, Petersham, Teddington, Twickenham and Kingston.

When you ask Richmond Housesitters to carry out house or pet sitting visits, you are delivering your home or a precious member of your family into our care. We honour that trust, and promise in return a level of professionalism, reliability and attention that is second to none. Our services are exclusive, bespoke and one-to-one.

I look forward to hearing how we can be of service to you and your animal companion(s).

Why Choose Richmond Housesitters?

Locally Owned

We live in, know and love our beautiful area of south-west London and are familiar with every park, river walk and open space. We are the premier professional house and pet sitting service for the south-west London area, including Kew, Richmond, Ham, Petersham, Teddington, Twickenham and Kingston. You can book with confidence.

Professionally Insured and Affiliated

We are not "hobby" pet sitters and we take what we do very seriously. All our housesitters are professionally insured.

Specialists

We're professional and exclusive house and pet sitters. We won't leave your home to walk/train/groom other people's dogs, or to feed other people's cats.

Pet First Aid Trained

We believe that safety should never be compromised. Our professional house sitters have a qualification in Pet First Aid and CPR. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your house sitter knows what to do should an emergency arise while your beloved animal is in their care.

We hand-pick our house sitters using stringent screening practices and demanding skill requirements. They must supply us with personal references and a CRB/DBS background check before they can join our team.
