We are Deb and Layla, a mother (57) and daughter (31) house and pet sitting team based in Kent, UK.

Since we began housesitting in 2018, we have always approached every sit with a professional attitude, and have amassed a wealth of experience in taking care of a variety of pets and properties.

We have a fondness for cats, and are familiar with many pedigree breeds. Being particularly adept at caring for nervous and/or sensitive cats who are not used to being cared for by anyone else, we find they quickly settle with us which helps alleviate any worries the owners may have.

As well as being experienced and trusted cat sitters, we are also well at home caring for dogs, rabbits, rodents, birds, fish and the occasional snake.

As house sitters, we have looked after all kinds of homes. Everything from large medieval country houses to city apartments. We have completed house sits throughout southern England in London, Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset.  We would like to visit Devon and Cornwall, and also take our house sitting services overseas, particularly to the United States.

With 45+ verifiable 5 Star Reviews, along with strong references, we can assure you that your home and pets will be well taken care of in your absence.

Once more Deb and Layla looked after our two cats and large house superbly for several weeks. Having these two really wonderful people living at home allows us to travel with complete confidence knowing everything will be competently and compassionately looked after. Deb and Layla are the ideal ‘trusted female house sitters’ and are most highly recommended by us.Roger and Belinda
Having had Layla and Deb here the last time we went to Australia, we knew beyond doubt that whatever might happen in our absence, they would deal with it quickly and efficiently. They are great at keeping in touch and sending photos of the cats, from which we could see they were well cared for and happy. On our return, the house was absolutely spotless and the cats looked amazing. Jan
If I could have made a wish for the perfect people to come into my home, having never met them before, and care for my pets and home the same way I do then Layla & Debs would have been my wish come true.. they were totally brilliant.Kim
I can honestly say that I would recommend Layla and Debbie to any future house sits knowing that your pets and your property will be looked after in every possible way, thus allowing you to enjoy your trips away and feel totally relaxed.Gretta
Layla and her mum were excellent cat sitters. Layla gave me frequent updates that all was well. On our return the house was spotless. I couldn’t have asked for better. Thanks so much for taking good care of our kitties 🙂Marisa
If you get the opportunity to have Layla and Deb sit for you, absolutely make sure you take it!Melanie
