Finding the Purrfect Pet-Friendly Rental Near Kew Gardens

11 July 2025

The challenge? Limited time, a tight budget, and a client who needed to live close to their new job at Kew Gardens, with two house cats in tow.

The solution? I sourced a hidden gem that wasn’t even on the rental market. It was listed for sale with little interest. Thanks to my agent network, I arranged a one-off viewing and secured it for rent just days later.

The result? A lovely, pet-friendly ground-floor flat with a private patio, ideal for a future ‘catio’, just 200 metres from work, nestled in a peaceful, leafy Kew neighbourhood.

When it comes to finding pet-friendly property in London, it’s about more than searching listings—it’s about knowing where to look and who to ask.

“We can’t thank Russell enough for his help in securing an apartment for us and our two cats, Harold and Charlie. We had very short notice that we would be relocating to London from California and didn’t know where to begin. Russell gave great advice, offered thoughtful options, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. We love our new flat and enthusiastically recommend Pets Lets!”
