Top cities for house sitting in United Kingdom

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Basildon home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Basildon.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Basildon home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hi! I’m Halle, an animal lover with a lifelong passion caring for pets.
I love giving animals cuddles and attention, but I’m just as happy keeping them company while they relax. I have hands-on experience such as currently working in a kennel and cattery, where I care for cats and dogs through walking, feeding, administering medication, cleaning, and ensuring their health and safety. I’ve also completed courses in animal behaviour and hold a Pet Psychology Diploma.

Growing up, my home was always full of animals, and I’ve rescued several along the way. My most recent, Marshmallow, a sweet cat with medical issues and an unfortunate feral background. He taught me the importance of patience and gentle care. I am very comfortable working with anxious or nervous animals, always focusing on helping them feel secure and minimising stress.

I know how hard it is to leave your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own by offering love, attention, and consistent care. I’m also happy to keep you updated for extra peace of mind. Nothing makes me happier than helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through cuddles, companionship, or attentive care tailored to their needs🤍

PLEASE READ:

Same Household Rule: For walks, I only take pets from the same household at one time for safety and comfort.

Behavioural Information: Please let me know in advance if your pet has any behaviours I should be aware of, such as guarding, biting, anxiety, nervousness, or leash reactivity.

Health &amp; Safety: Pets should be in good health for walks. Please make me aware if your pet needs limited exercise, gentle play only, or no play at all so I can tailor care to their needs.

Emergency Contact: If you will not have quick access to your phone, please provide me with an alternative emergency contact.

Walking Gear: Dogs should have a secure, well-fitted harness or collar and lead provided by the owner.

Feeding &amp; Medication: If your pet requires food or medication, clear instructions must be given in writing or by text message, clearly.

House Access: Please ensure I can safely and securely access your home for visits/walks.

Weather Conditions: Walks may be shortened or adjusted in extreme weather (very hot, icy, or stormy conditions) to ensure your pet’s safety.

Extra Information: Some details may not seem necessary, but any information you can provide me about your pet is always helpful in making sure they’re cared for in the best way possible.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me as I'd be happy to answer. My main concern is the safety and happiness of your pet but also your reassurance of my care️


You could probably open a zoo with the amount of animals I've had to look after / own / care for! My childhood has always been surrounded by furry friends and even when younger my parents used to dog sit! I've got a little experience of playing and looking after ferrets and cats but my biggest knowledge is dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm available throughout the day at different times but happy to adjust to your animal's needs if there's a specific time required. If your animal is a nervous one, we can arrange a meet up so that it's not a stranger on their first meet in their home. Home visits can be adjusted, I set the times for 30 mins or an hour but if more / less is needed just let me know. Walks can also be adjusted depending on the fitness level, age and demand of your pet. I also love taking photos so the chances are you'll have a pet photoshoot included! By day to day I'm cabin crew due to my restricted flying hours I get a lot of time off and with plans to hopefully buy my own home next year with my partner, I'm looking to earn some extra money to help us get there a little bit quicker! It's vital for an animal to get their daily walks and exercise and sometimes life gets in the way of being able to get them the full attention they deserve. If you have any questions, doubts or worries, drop me a message and I'm always happy to send updated pictures and messages to reassure you that your furry child is in great hands! 


My husband and I are keen adventurers we love walking, nature and cosying up to watch a movie. We are very disciplined with pet routines and are very keen to spoil them with lots of affection once they warm up to us. I have owned numerous pets including aquatic pets  (fish/axolotl), birds(budgies), rats, and chickens since childhood. All of which have lived well past their maximum life expectancy, and have had positive reports from their vets. I have even managed to travel with my pets they settled well. We love pets and would love to own more if we could move to a bigger space (dog or cat). My husband and I would love to travel the uk more and we are open to any setup. We are currently only available during school holidays due to our work. Please get in touch, we'd love to consider your pet sitting request. We are offering house and petsitting opportunities during school holidays; we would love to travel away from our local area and are open to UK wide bookings.


Hi! I’m Martina and I am passionate about animals and caring for them.&nbsp;
Having worked in an office for over 20 years, I decided last year that it was time to pursue my own interests by working with animals, providing them with the same care and attention, as I do my own.&nbsp;
I have been brought up with animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets and fish. In addition to this, I volunteer for Cats Protection, German Shepherd Dog Rescue and Hockley FerretRescue.&nbsp;
Fully insured, first aid trained and DBS checked, I can provide continuity and excellent care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, as I am available throughout the week, weekends and for overnight stays.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I can provide solo dog walking, pet minding in your home and welfare visits. I'm happy to care for senior pets; those that require medication; or pets with special needs, behaviours or disabilities.&nbsp;
Whatever your requirements, I would be happy to meet and make arrangements to suit you. Please let me know if you have any special requests at the time of booking and during our introductory meeting, in order that I can ensure your pets are given the best service.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thank you so much to Trisha for taking such good care of my boy Phoenix! I felt completely at ease with having Trisha stay at my house for a week and she went completely above and beyond for us for the entire time, she kept in contact with me every step of the way and I am so appreciative that she spent every moment with him. I’m honestly so glad to have found her and I love the bond she has with him now, he will really miss her and that’s why I’ll be sure to keep in touch! As well as looking after Phoenix so well she also kept the house so lovely and helped with so many extra chores which made returning to home so easy after a holiday, I honestly cannot thank her enough!&nbsp;

Hi there, I have known Trisha W for 30 years. She is an extremely kind and loving person who absolutely adores animals. Over the years Trisha has always been the only person that I would trust to have my dogs for me when going on holidays or just to dog sit if I’m going out of an evening and know it will be a long evening so I wouldn’t want my dogs left alone for too long. We have a joke between us saying that my two prefer Trisha W than me!! She is very reliable and takes the wellbeing of the pets that are in her care extremely important. She has her DBS certificate, also a pet first aid course certificate. She is also fully insured. I can honestly say that whenever I need my dogs walked, taken care of when I go on holiday, anything really to make sure my dogs welfare is good then she is the only person I turn too. When I go on holiday I always feel so worried about my dogs but knowing Trisha W is taking care of them takes all my anxiety away.&nbsp;

Trisha W. looked after my dog Tia from 26/06/2026 to 28/06/2026, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Tia was a bit anxious at first, but Trisha managed her so well and made her feel comfortable and settled. Trisha was kind, responsible, and gave Tia lots of love and attention. I felt very comfortable knowing Tia was in such good hands. Thank you, Trisha, for taking such great care of Tia. I would happily recommend you and would love for Tia to stay with you again in the future&nbsp;
