Cat sitting in Hounslow, London

Hounslow runs west from Chiswick and Brentford along the river through Isleworth, Osterley and Hounslow itself to Feltham and Hanworth, close to Heathrow. Chiswick has Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and larger houses with gardens; Brentford and Isleworth mix older terraces with new riverside developments; and Hounslow, Feltham and Hanworth are mostly streets of interwar semis and terraces with back gardens. So many cats here have outdoor access through a cat flap, sharing their gardens with foxes, while those in the new blocks by the river and near the Great West Road and the A4 are more likely to be kept indoors. Osterley Park, Gunnersbury Park and the river paths give the borough plenty of green space. Most visits start at a front door or a keysafe, with concierge or fob entry in the newer blocks, so it helps to describe the way in on your Care Card and send any codes to your sitter in the booking chat once they've accepted. With the Piccadilly and District lines and trains from Brentford and Hounslow, a nearby sitter can keep to your cat's routine.
