Brent stretches from Kilburn and Queen's Park in the south-east through Willesden, Harlesden and Neasden to Wembley, Kingsbury and Kenton in the north-west, and it has a real mix of homes. The south of the borough has Victorian terraces and mansion flats, many split into conversions, alongside large estates in Harlesden, Stonebridge and South Kilburn. Further north, around Wembley, Kingsbury and Preston, there are more 1920s and 1930s semis and houses with gardens, as well as the new towers at Wembley Park. Cats in the houses often have outdoor access through a cat flap and share their gardens with foxes, while those in the flats and new blocks near busy roads such as the North Circular and the Harrow Road are usually kept indoors. A visit might start at a front door, a keysafe or a concierge desk, so it helps to describe the way in on your Care Card and send any codes in the booking chat once your sitter has accepted. With the Jubilee, Metropolitan and Bakerloo lines and the Overground, a sitter living nearby can keep to your cat's usual times.

How a visit will work
Food, medication, litter, hiding places. It becomes the Care Card your sitter works from.
Chat with a sitter near you before you book, so you both know what the visits involve.
Sitters are expected to send a message and photo after each visit.
Each sitter sets their own rate. You pay it plus a 10% booking fee, and you see the full amount before you book.
How are CatSitz sitters checked?
Every CatSitz sitter will have their identity verified, and a person will review every profile before it goes live. It is not a background or criminal record check.
