Cat sitting in Bexley, London

Bexley sits in the far south-east of London, taking in Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling, Crayford, Erith and Bexley Village, with the Thames marshes to the north and Kent just beyond. Most of it is suburban: long streets of 1930s semis and terraces with back gardens across Bexleyheath, Welling and Sidcup, older Victorian homes around Erith and Bexley Village, and some newer flats near the town centres and the river. That means a lot of Bexley's cats have outdoor access, often through a cat flap into gardens that back onto each other, and they share them with foxes. Cats in the flats and near busy roads like the A2 and the A20 are more likely to be kept indoors. Danson Park, Lesnes Abbey Woods and the river path give the borough plenty of green space. Most visits start at a front door or a keysafe, so describe where the key is kept and where your cat likes to hide on your Care Card, and send any codes to your sitter in the booking chat once they've accepted. With Southeastern trains and the Elizabeth line at Abbey Wood nearby, a local sitter can keep to your cat's morning and evening routine.
