House sitting in London

Do you go starry-eyed for cute animals? Fancy exploring London for free? It’s time to go house sitting in the UK's capital!

The adorable animals of London need your care! Stay with them while their owners are away and take a city break without spending a penny. You can enjoy free accommodation in London with cute pets to keep you company! House sitting jobs are the perfect way for pet lovers to experience London's heritage-rich destinations, whether it’s strolling the Tate Modern, taking a walking city tour, or visiting its charming pubs.

A fluffy London adventure

House sitting in London will give you the chance to visit the Tate Modern – a living embodiment of the city's artistic evolution. The National Gallery is a worthy addition, holding works by Turner, Titian and Van Gogh. If you can't bear to part with your new animal companion, head to Great Windmill Street to view the open-air flower installations.  

Rowing the Londog in Snaresbrook

House sitter jobs turn an ordinary getaway into something truly spectacular. There are a host of London house sitting tours to try, and rowing the Thames is among the best of them. Put a life vest on your pooch and hire a dog-friendly boat at Hollow Ponds. Snaresbrook is perfect for picnics, so pack some lunch before you go. Don’t forget to pack some lettuce for the local swans because they’re hungry, too. 

London from the sky

London comes alive at night, so when you're London house sitting, take in all the action from the Emirates Air Line cable car. The line carries you over the Thames and Canary Wharf - two sites that are far more magical when the night lights turn on. This is taking care of a dog in London at its most glittering.

Peddling East London

Looking to spend an energetic afternoon with your London dog companion? Hire a dog-friendly cargo bike and cycle the canals of East London. This charming storybook neighbourhood was once the killing field of Jack the Ripper, so if your pet friend's not too scared, take a turn down Brick Lane. The market scene is top-notch. If you want to spend your house sitting savings, Old Spitalfields Market is home to some excellent street food vendors.

Brunel Museum

Whether you're taking care of a dog or a cat in London, Brunel Museum is one of the most animal-friendly destinations in London. It's situated right at the Thames Tunnel, which is home to a few pedestrian access points. While you're in the area, stop by the bustling London bridge. Take the Bridge lift before hopping onto a Thames Clipper for a pier tour. Be sure to look for the HMS Belfast; a Second World War ship that’s taken up residence at the river’s edge. Looking after a cat lets you see London’s finest sites, and this is one of its most impressive.
