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 everyone   .I'm a regular dog walker now since 2023 , and I have to say it's the best job I ever had  . Dog walking and animal care is a very special position, it is work that gives satisfaction and fulfillment, and finally, work that has a deeper meaning .We get so much from animals, so it is very important that we know how to repay them and simply be there for them&nbsp;I've had cats since I was a kid , they've always been at home. I always wanted to have a dog too ,but since the house was full of cats, I borrowed dogs from friends to take them  for long walks.I think home without a cat or a dog or any animals is just a house.
I'm a full time dog walker/sitter . Me schedule is very I'm available every week day, weekends can be discussed as well . If you have any questions about availability just ask , I'm here to help .
I've got a nice walking area around me to walk your  dog .
I will care for your pet as it was my own , with patient and love .
I'm also yoga lover which is great fun for some dogs who often like to join the exercise .I'm open for owners suggestions and needs.I also have completed a Feline Behaviour and Psychology training&nbsp; and Pet sitting and dog walking diploma .I also have experience caring for puppies and kittens.
Please let me know if your dog  has any special needs or behaviours that I can account for. Or if your cat is maybe a bit not human friendly don't worry I know that type of cats .
Feel free to message me with any questions . I can set up  free meet and greet so your welcome to meet me face to face before you make  decision .




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.

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 enjoy a good walk but having a dog by my side makes it that much more enjoyable regardless of the weather. I have a Yorkshire terrier she is almost 4, she is super spoilt and although she might be small she is a big part of our family.I grew up in South Africa with all kinds of animals (not just dogs) and did volunteer work from a young age in different shelters, what I can say is that the experience has certainly shaped me into the person i am today and my desire to help others when needed.&nbsp;I am a mum myself and i understand the needs of making sure that our fur babies are taken care of too, it's not always an easy task when you try to juggle in work as well as everything else life throws at you all at the same time, maybe an unexpected injury or health condition that prevents you from&nbsp; meeting their energy level requirements.I look forward to meeting with you and discussing how best I can help.

Hello, I’m an experienced pet lover with hands-on experience caring for my spouse’s Scottish Fold cat for the past 5 years, and we’ve also had a Chinchilla for the last 3 years. Growing up, I had a cat from ages 3 to 8, so my love for animals started early. Since getting married, I’ve had the joy of caring for our pets alongside my spouse. We now live in the UK, where my spouse is pursuing postgraduate education at the University of Sheffield, and I am studying for my medical exams.
I offer reliable pet-sitting services for cats and only accept vaccinated pets to ensure the safety and well-being of all the animals in our care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your cat like family, I’d love the opportunity to help. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am available throughout the day to provide flexible and attentive care for your pets.
Home Visits:I can stay for longer home visits, depending on my schedule. To ensure the best care, it would be great to discuss the specific times beforehand. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to help with tasks like watering plants and bringing in the mail. If the pet owner allows, my spouse may accompany me during these visits.
Dog Walking:I usually walk dogs in local parks, as I enjoy spending time in nature with my spouse. If permitted by the pet owner, my spouse may also join us during the walks. I am available to walk dogs during the day and can walk up to two dogs at a time. However, I do not have experience administering medication to dogs, nor have I trained any dogs.
House Sitting:When house sitting, I can ensure the safety of your pets and home by keeping windows secured and closing the doors to rooms if I air out the house. I am experienced in taking care of pets for friends and am careful to make sure they are always safe in the home environment. I can stay at the owner's house for longer periods if needed, depending on my schedule. It’s best to discuss the timing with the pet owner beforehand to make suitable arrangements.&nbsp;
Cat Care:I have extensive experience with cats, including administering oral medication and cleaning litter boxes. I can host cats at my home for longer periods and provide a comfortable environment for them. Cats can sleep wherever they like in our home, including with us if they choose!
Home Environment:I live in a two-bedroom flat with my spouse and our two cats. Unfortunately, we can only offer care for cats in our home. We do not have a backyard, but our home is pet-friendly, and we ensure a safe and loving environment for all pets under our care.
Availability:I am mostly at home during the day while studying for my medical exams. Home visits and walks can be flexible, depending on my study schedule. It's best to reach out, and we can arrange a suitable time. I am also generally available during the evenings and on weekends.&nbsp;


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.

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. 

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!


I believe every pet deserves a sitter who is as patient, attentive, and kind as their own owner. With over 10 years of dedicated experience looking after both dogs and cats, I have handled a diverse range of needs, from high-energy outdoor adventures and long walks to calm, attentive overnight holiday stays. My background has made me highly adaptable to different animal personalities and requirements.￼
I am particularly skilled in senior pet care and medical support. I have extensive experience managing precise medication schedules and providing the gentle, specialized attention that older animals often require. I pride myself on being a reliable, professional, and calming presence in your home. My primary goal is to ensure your beloved companions feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Whether it is a quick check-in or long-term care, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and providing you with total peace of mind.
My daily routine of working from home allows me to offer a unique level of flexibility and companionship. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can provide frequent garden breaks, immediate attention, and plenty of 'desk-side' cuddles throughout the day. Your pet won't just be checked on—they’ll have a consistent companion nearby to ensure they feel secure and settled. I’m also completely free at weekends.
