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 Blackrod 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 Blackrod.

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 Blackrod 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 Toni, I'm 28, and like many others here I'm known for my love of animals. I have a lot of personal experience with caring for animals - we've always had animals in our household ever since I was a baby, and I'm often called upon to see to my neighbour's ever-expanding fur family when she's away. I have a ten year old Alsatian named Marshall and three adorable cats called Kevin (6), Keith (6) and Crystal (18). All my fur babies are full of life, energetic and love to keep me on my toes. Caring for them is an absolute blessing and it has encouraged me to start working towards a career in animal care.I'm a full-time support worker, but work alongside my business partner Brian, so we can be completely flexible and will accommodate yours and your pet's needs as much as possible. I'm more than happy to keep you updated and send regular pictures! I know how difficult it can be being away from them!

Hi, I'm Sophie!&nbsp;I’m passionate about animals, and it shows - I practically gravitate toward them! It’s a running joke among my friends that you get no sense out of me the moment a dog is in the room . I love spending time with pets, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or simply being around them.I regularly look after friends’ dogs and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. One of my proudest moments is earning the trust of some of the most reactive dogs - like the adorable dachshund in my pics - which is no small feat!My motivation is simple: I know how much peace of mind it brings to leave your pet with someone you trust. I strive to provide a calm, safe, and friendly environment where your pet feels relaxed, secure, and genuinely cared for.I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, day care, and overnight sitting — all tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just companionship, I make sure they get the attention they deserve. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for 

I’m an Australian animal lover currently living in Manchester for the next two years. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have a Certificate II in Animal Studies, along with five years of experience working in a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and junior vet nurse. Animals have always been at the centre of my world.

Back home, my fur baby Poppy — a 4‑year‑old Chinese Crested cross rescue — is staying with family while I’m abroad. I miss her every day, so spending time with other people’s pets brings me a lot of joy. I’m confident caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds right up to Great Danes, and I’ve also looked after a wide range of animals including cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, cows, horses, and fish. Plus, I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for animals from all around the world while I’m travelling.

Outside of animal care, I’m a very chill, low‑key person. My friends affectionately call me a “nanna” because I don’t enjoy late nights out — I’m much happier with a cosy evening in, a warm drink, and a furry companion by my side. The one exception is my love of walking, which makes dog‑friendly adventures a perfect fit for me.

Caring for animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about, and I always treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own.


Hi! I’m Yannis, an IT specialist by day and a passionate cat admirer at heart. While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I absolutely love them—their quirky personalities, soothing purrs, and that perfect mix of independence and affection just melts me every time. I often help friends cat-sit when they’re away, and it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. Whether it’s playing with them, watching their silly antics, or just having a quiet cuddle session, I cherish every moment. One day, I hope to have a cat of my own, but for now, I’m more than happy being the go-to cat aunt in my friend group. And also I’m happy to being a cat sitter as well!


  I offer loving, reliable, and attentive care for your feline friend while you’re away.
  
  What I offer: 
  • Excellent treat giver – With your permission, of course! 
  • Cuddler extraordinaire – Only if your cat is into that sort of thing 
  • Playtime partner – Feather wands, laser pointers, you name it 
  • Clean and tidy – Litter boxes scooped, food/water bowls refreshed, no mess left behind 
  • Daily updates – Photos and messages so you know your cat is happy and safe
  
  I’m available for cat sitting in Urmston, Stretford or Manchester city centre area.
  
  Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your furry friend!

After years of looking after my own cats, and cat sitting friends' and families' cats when they go on holiday, I've decided to finally set myself up as a cat sitter and start doing the thing I love the most full-time!I'm DBS checked, and am currently working with the Animal Care College to achieve a Level 2 Certificate in Feline First Aid.&nbsp;I believe every cat has their own distinct personality and I love getting to know each and every one.&nbsp;During my visits I like to take the time to let the cats get to know me, to have a good sniff and find out where I've come from. I take it nice and slow with shy cats - my Jinx is very shy, even after 10 years the smallest thing can make him run and hide, so I know to be slow and calm at all times with him. I love spending time playing with them too - I never just feed them and run.I've had pets all my life, from the family dog when I was little, to hamsters, gerbils, fish, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and of course, cats. I got my first cat, a gorgeous long-haired rescue called Benny, when I was 18, and I haven't been without a cat since - in fact I usually have two. My cats are both indoor cats as we live near busy roads, but we are big outdoor animal fans too, and have feeders for birds and squirrels that we regularly replenish in our garden. We're getting a big selection of birds visit us at the moment, including&nbsp;greenfinch, bluetits, doves, blackbirds, and woodpeckers.We're currently redesigning our garden to have a big wildflower area to encourage bees and other insects. Nature and animals are our thing ️Core Cat Services:FeedingChanging waterRefreshing litter trays - either just a scoop or a full change&nbsp;Play and enrichment timeNature and cuddle timeBrushing / grooming timeDaily photos and details of your petsExtra Optional Services:Closing and opening curtains so your home looks occupiedWatering plantsTaking out / bringing in wheely binsBuy essentials for your first day back home (extra charge - ask for details)If you give me your flight number I will keep an eye on it and add extra visit(s) in case of delays/cancellations (no extra charge if no extra visits carried out)If you need me to do anything else don't hesitate to ask - I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

Hi I’m Lauren the heart behind FureverPawPals I offer loving and dependable in home pet sitting for your furry family members I’ve been caring for pets professionally since July 2025 and work closely with my local dog walker where I also completed my college work placement Through that experience I gained hands on knowledge of animal care daily routines and the importance of trust and consistency

I understand that pets are family and deserve care that feels personal and familiar My goal is to provide comfort and consistency right in your own home where your pets feel safest and happiest I care for vaccinated pets only to ensure the wellbeing of every animal in my care Whether you’re away for a weekend or a longer trip I follow your pets routines closely offering walks meals playtime and plenty of love

Please enquire if you have any questions

I am an all round animal fanatic with multiple years pet sitting experience and a lifetime of being obsessed with cats :) My motivation for pet sitting is mainly due to the fact I have a serious lack of animal time in my life! My previous pet sitting experience has ranged from dog boarding and walking to home stays, ranging from changing litter to administrating medicine, grooming, playtime, cuddles, feeding and general love and affection!Services I offer-Dog walking - available on weekends and evenings for dog walking, which will typically be an hour, but happy for longer if agreed beforehand. Please provide bags, lead &amp; a toy of preference :)Daily drop ins - For these visits I will typically pop in for a couple of hours to provide a nice bit of company for your pet. During this time I will give them a fuss, have some playtime, refresh their water, put out fresh food and clean any litter that needs doing.Animal boarding at your house - I shall look after both your pet and home at the same time! Your pet will be brushed, fed, watered and loved and the safety of your property will be my upmost priority during my stay. I will ensure everything is left clean and tidy, plants are watered and Mail is brought in. Please just leave a list of specifics before my stay, such as feeding times, any medicine I need to administer, double locking the door etc etc. I will also be sure to update you during my stay every day with pictures and updates so you have peace of mind and can relax/ enjoy your break away!I can’t wait to look after your fur baby :)


Your family member deserves an experienced pet sitter.

I have experience caring for my two cats (one of the cats passed away at 24 years old ). Apart from caring for my pet, I have also cared for my friend's pet in Hong Kong. So, those experiences have made me build up the skills to provide attentive and loving care, manage daily routines, and ensure pets' overall well-being. Our commitment and genuine passion for animals make us reliable and nurturing pet sitters ready to extend the same level of care to your beloved pet.
I have a very flexible schedule, which allows us to take excellent care of your pets. I provide service of home visit of a day and house sitting, please feel free to contact me.
Also, I’m a Jikiden Reiki Practitioner, and Reiki will work on all living things. So, Reiki Treatments&nbsp;for animals is a good idea. Suppose your pet is suffering from anxiety or disease. Please let me know so we can discuss this.
