For cat parents, peace of mind when you’re travelling means finding a great cat sitter. How you and your cat define great will depend on your priorities, your cat’s needs, and what kind of care duties you want while you’re away. And all of that informs how you’ll want to budget.

In Bromley, England, drop-in visits cost an average of £12 per visit—but you can find care in the range of £11 to £15.

To help you budget, we break down local cat care costs, plus the services that cost more and tips for finding the rates that work for you.

Rates for Cat Sitting Services in Bromley

How much you should budget for cat care in Bromley depends on how long you’ll be gone and how many visits your cat will need per day.

Drop-Ins Per DayCost Per Day
1£11 to £15
2£22 to £30
3£33 to £45
4£44 to £60

One to two drop-in visits per day can be enough for healthy, independent adult cats. But some cats need more care, including kittens, seniors, cats with health issues, and extra social kitties.

For these cats, the cost of so many drop-in visits can get expensive quickly. To save your budget and get your cat the care they need, consider overnight services like house sitting or cat boarding.

House sitting is when a person looks after your pets and your home while you’re away. That could mean multiple drop-in visits every day or acting as a full-time caretaker who stays overnight for several days or weeks.

Cat boarding is when your cat stays in someone else’s home and receives care in their house while you’re away.

Note that these rates don’t include VAT or taxes.

Finding the Right Cat Sitter in Bromley

Budget is a big part of the equation when it comes to cat care—but so is finding the right sitter for your cat.

Every cat is different, and the key to finding great care is knowing what your specific cat needs. High-energy cats and kittens, for example, tend to need carers experienced in offering cat-friendly play and exercise. Shy cats and skittish seniors, by contrast, might prefer a calm presence.

To find the best fit, make a list of questions specific to your cat, including experience with any medications and handling requirements. Then schedule a Meet & Greet to introduce your cat to their new sitter and show them the ropes.
