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 Effingham 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 Effingham.

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 Effingham 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.

sleepover

Hello there,
We are a warm friendly couple who love being around animals. We miss animals in our lives and house sitting helps us to reconnect with them and realign with the unconditional love that they give us.
As a couple, we have 2 years of housesitting experience with dogs including disabled dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish.
Our longest stay was a month. (We were registered on another website)
Previously Christian used to have his own dog and also looked after his friend's animals while they were away.
Marta used to have cats and also spent holidays at her grandparents' farm and has been around animals since childhood.
Over the past year we have both become intuitive life coaches but we are still currently working in our previous employment role as we go though a transitional period.
Christian is a musician and electrician.
Marta supports a small property management company with admin work and mostly works from home and her laptop.
Marta is also a healer and that helps animals to feel comfortable around her, she uses Reiki to support animals when necessary.
We treat your animals as if our own.
We spend a lot of time with them being at home and taking them for long walks. We both love nature and long walks.
We can admit medicine to them, and take them to vet visits if required.
We will look after your home, garden and plants and make sure that all is clean and tidy upon your arrival.



Hi there! Glad to meet you. We are a young couple looking to host medium and large dogs.
In terms of services, I offer walking, caring, basic grooming and feeding. We do not own other pets and we host 1 dog per time. We don't provide specialist care for dogs requiring injections or extra health needs. We also expect that your dog is well house trained and able to sleep through the night.
I am a 31 year old regular dog walker with recent experience of walking/ hosting: an energetic labrador, springer spaniel and a staffie mixed breed. I am a very caring and active person. Equally, if your pet is less active I am very considerate towards their exercise needs. We have toys for your dog to play with at home also.
I work from home and my partner is always here so your pet will have company all the time during boarding. We have a lovely garden for your dog to enjoy. I live 2 minutes walk from a large park also.
You will be responsible for providing food, toys and extras required by your dog during the boarding. We'll also send you photos of your pet while they stay to put your mind at rest!
Vaccinated pets only.
Contact me to arrange a first introduction. Looking forward to hearing from you!


Hi! I’m Dan, a 19 year old animal lover based in Surrey with a genuine passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life from dogs and cats to tortoises, so looking after them has always felt completely natural to me.
I have hands on experience walking and sitting multiple dogs at once, both big and small breeds, so I’m completely comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also owned and cared for cats throughout my life, giving me a solid understanding of their needs and how to keep them happy and comfortable, especially when their owners are away.
In terms of services, I offer dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting. Whether you need a reliable daily walker, someone to pop in for a visit, or a sitter to stay with your pet for longer periods, I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs.
Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a lifeguard, so I’m calm under pressure, responsible, and trustworthy qualities I bring to every sit and walk. My flexible schedule means your pet gets real time and attention, not just a quick check-in.
Your pet’s happiness and safety genuinely matter to me. This isn’t just a side job it’s something I really enjoy. I only accept vaccinated pets and will always keep you updated with photos and messages throughout, so you can relax knowing your companion is in great hands.
I’d love to meet your pet, so feel free to get in touch and arrange a free meet and greet!

I have experience in looking after cats, feeding and attending to cat litter trays etc. I love playing and accompanying cats and grooming them to show them off to their full potential!
My motivation is pure love for cats of all varieties I've looked after many cats in friend's homes and in mine too. 
I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially cats. Their unique personalities, playful nature, and comforting presence have always brought joy to my life. I understand the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for cats while their owners are away. As a cat sitter, my goal is to ensure that each cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I take pride in building a trusting relationship with both the cats and their owners, and I strive to make their time apart as stress-free as possible.
Looking after cats is real pleasure to me. 

Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve owned cats since I was four years old, and currently share my home (and heart) with my beloved rescue cat, Honey, who I adopted when she was just one. I’m a huge animal lover through and through, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with pets—whether that’s giving them cuddles, chatting to them like they’re listening, or just making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I truly understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in caring hands, and I treat every pet I look after like one of my own. With years of hands-on experience with pets, a gentle approach, and an instinctive love for animals, I’d be honoured to care for your pets and give them all the attention and affection they deserve.
I currently work Monday to Friday office hours. I can do 1 to 2 check ins and feeding / pet cuddles daily, or can house sit if preferred.

A few years ago I began pet sitting part time for friends and neighbours, and in 2023 I decided to leave my corporate job and work full time with animals, looking for a more rewarding and slower pace of life. 
I was luckily to grow up surrounded by animals, as my mother worked with the RSPCA and Cats Protection for a large part of my childhood. She now rescues animals in Portugal working with the locals to reduce animal cruelty. 
Between my sister and I we have two rescue dogs and 4 cats. Having rescue animals with unique and often challenging needs, I know how worrying it can be to leave them in the care of others. Often feeling torn between making plans to spend time away, and being able to leave them in the care of those I can trust. 
I’m passionate about providing a home from home service and spending time getting to know each pet and its unique needs. This is why I offer a free home visit to get to know you and your beloved pet beforehand. &nbsp;
I offer a home from home pet sitting service which ensures your pet can stay in their usual routine and familiar surroundings. Whether daily visits or overnight stays providing 24hr care, visits are tailored to your unique needs. 
All those with whiskers are welcome such as cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and more.
If you need someone to pop in and walk your pooch whilst out at work or away from home, I offer a one to one dog walking service where only dogs in the same house hold are walked together. 
Fully insured and DBS checked. 
*House sitting overnight rate includes walks and a visit during the day, if only overnight care is required this can be reduced.

I have recently moved back to the UK from New Zealand, where I was a dance movement therapist specialising in P.T.S.D. and trauma related challenges for women and children both clinically and in the education system.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In between sessions I would dog walk for friends and friends of friends as well as cat sit.   The attunement and care is not too disimilar for both animals and humans!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Empathy, kindness and reading the needs of your pet is such a beautiful part of the developing relationship.&nbsp;
On first meeting, my gentle, slow approach helps to regulate the nervous system of the each pet whilst maintaining a confident, boundaried demeanour when out walking helps them to feel assured and happy.&nbsp;
I love all animals and this gives me the opportunity to support people with a safe pair of hands whilst you are away.  Knowing that your furry family member will be cared for and adapted to whilst following the your wishes is all part of the service.
Happy to adminster medication and offer photo/video updates daily for your peace of mind.
Open to phone calls to see if we are a good match!


To keep this short and sweet, there has never been a time in my life when a dog wasn't the light of my life. On my 14th birthday i was gifted my own sweet little poochon and it's now been 5 years with my little daughter Diva, yes i do believe she is my child. It has always been fascinating to me way that dogs show their personality and how each and every pup differs , trust me after growing up having 5 different dog breeds in my home I have seen first hand the love and affection that is given from all of our 4 legged friends. Big or small, curly or long haired , puppy or senior, each and every kind of dog will sit and have a special place in my heart. Seeing on social media the amount of dogs that are treated with disrespect and left for dead disgusts me and breaks my heart, I truly see dogs similar to humans and they should be shown the same level of care and respect.&nbsp;
In addition, I have obtained a Pet sitting &amp; Dog walking diploma by completing the online course &amp; have a certificate of validation! 

Hi I'm Keith I use they/them pronouns and I'm an animal care student currently getting my degree, I already have earned level 3 in animal care. I have loved animals eveR since I was young and have grown up alongside my uncles dog who I have often gone on walks with, as well as helping take care of my two cats.I offer:dog walks for any dogs medium sized or under, this limitation to their size is due to my personal ability to be strong enough to resist them dragging me around or being able to keep them away from other aggressive dogs or something they shouldn't eat. I'm currently offering these walks up to an hour and a half long and pictures of them during their walk if requested. Currently these are limited to one dog at a time, however if it's a smaller dog like a sausage dog I'm willing to go up to two as long as they already get along before hand.I will not walk any ill dogs as I don't want to risk getting my cats or other peoples dogs sick too.During my walks I ensure your animals safety I will avoid any trashed areas and will keep a sharp eye on any interaction with other dogs and anything they may try to eat.Cat visits. During my visit I will feed them, however I will make sure to check with you once it's booked incase they have a scheduled feeding and will request any specifics needed to feed them properly, refill their water and empty their litter box. If your cats need any medication for any medical problems I will give it to them, however I will limit any contact with them if it's contagious. I will also play with your cats or fuss them if they are comfortable enough around me.&nbsp;Dog visit. During my visit I will feed them ,however I will make sure to check with you once it's booked incase they have a scheduled feeding time and will request any specifics needed to feed them properly, refill their water, and take them outside to go to the toilet. If your dogs need any medication for a medical problem I will give it to them, however I will limit any contact with them if it's contagious.I will also play with them and fuss them if they are comfortable around me.For all of my serviced I will not accept any pets that will be aggressive with me and try to hurt me when I visit for my personal safety as well as the wellfare of the animal.
