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.

I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Currently, I have a Bengal cat, who is very active, playful, and intelligent. He learned few commands already and we play everyday. I can't believe sometimes how fast he is and how far he can jump  Even I adopted him when he was 1 year old, he's still learning a lot. Before that, I had a dog named Megi who lived for 20 years. Shes was a big part of my life and taught me a lot about responsibility and care. I missed her so much... When I was a child, I also had two cats, a rat, and some parrots, so I grew up surrounded by animals. Taking care of different pets over the years has helped me understand their needs and personalities. I enjoy spending time with them, and I always try to give them as much love and attention as possible. 


I am DBS checked, fully insured and qualified in dog first aid and CPR.

All dogs booking in boarding within my home need to be up to date with fleeing and worming.
Caring for pets is an essential part of my weekly routine, and it's something I'm deeply passionate about. As a pet owner and professional, I know how important it is to keep pets happy, healthy, and engaged throughout the day. From daily dog walks to extended pet sitting sessions, my schedule revolves around making sure each pet gets the personalised attention they need.
Whether it's an early morning walk, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I dedicate time every day to ensuring your pets feel cared for, just as I would with my own
When caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner's home, my top priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely, ensuring they receive the same care and attention they're used to, from feeding schedules to playtime and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of affection and one-on-one interaction. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm and welcoming environment, providing ample space for them to play, relax, and feel at ease. Whether in your home or mine, I ensure pets are happy and well taken care of while you're away.

Welcome to my profile!

With years of experience with looking after family pets since being the age of 12 then looking after friends pets when I turned 16, I am dependable, patient, and attentive, ensuring your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away whilst also making sure you're not worried about your furry friend at home! Whether you need daily walks, occasional check-ins, or overnight care, I’m here to help!

Get in touch—I’d love to meet you and your pup!


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.



Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I am a dedicated pet lover with five years of experience in dog ownership and pet sitting. My motivation comes from a passion for animals; I find caring for them incredibly fulfilling, as I value the bond and trust built with a pet in my care.
I currently work from home, which means I am almost always available to provide your pet with the optimal attention they deserve. Because my professional life is home-based, your pet will never feel lonely and will fit seamlessly into my daily routine of walks, playtime, and companionship.
Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat where pets are welcome on the furniture and in every room. I want them to feel as relaxed as they do in their own home. For outdoor time, I have a large, high-fenced yard and garden that remains securely locked at all times, offering a safe environment for exercise and play without any risk of escape.
As a doctor(although no longer practicing) , I bring a unique level of observation to pet sitting. I am observant  to changes in behavior and can spot physical or emotional abnormalities quickly, ensuring your pet is not only happy but healthy. Whether it’s long runs, maintaining hygiene, or just providing a calm presence, I am committed to treating your pet like family
My dogs are back home,  very far away and I miss them so dearly so having pets around me really does bring me a form of comfort 

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 

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!


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

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.
