Cat sitting in Bromley, London

Bromley is London's largest borough by area, reaching from Crystal Palace, Penge and Beckenham in the north-west to Orpington, Chislehurst and Biggin Hill, where the city gives way to fields and woods. Much of it is suburban: Victorian and Edwardian houses in Beckenham and Bromley town, interwar semis with long gardens across Petts Wood, West Wickham and Orpington, and larger houses around Chislehurst and Keston. That makes it a borough where many cats come and go freely through a cat flap, into gardens that back onto each other, and foxes and the occasional badger are regular visitors. There are flats too, around Bromley town centre, Penge and Crystal Palace, where cats are more likely to be kept indoors. Most visits start at a front door or a keysafe, so it helps to describe where the key is kept and which doors and windows to check on your Care Card, and to send any codes to your sitter in the booking chat once they've accepted. With trains from Bromley South, Orpington and Beckenham and the Overground at Crystal Palace, a local sitter can keep to your cat's routine.
