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 Gorebridge 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 Gorebridge.

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 Gorebridge 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'm 27, I work full time for a nature charity so I enjoy being outdoors no matter the weather and experiencing the seasons change. I work fully remotely at home in Edinburgh and enjoy taking regular walks in Holyrood park and up Arthur's seat. I am happy to have some canine company on my walks, so offering walks or home visits for those in and around Meadowbank/Restalrig/Piershill. I currently do not work on Mondays so I would be able to offer longer walks or a run on Portobello beach Mondays only.&nbsp;
I have dog-sat my sister's boisterous tibetan terrier many times, and dog walked various breeds and ages. I've been a dog lover all my life, and am currently saving up for a dog of my own! (Fingers crossed for a border terrier).&nbsp;
I am quite small, so happy to take large dogs only if they walk well - I have been pulled over once before!&nbsp;


With flexible working hours, I can easily accommodate your dog’s routine for walks or cat's playtime and cuddles. I’d absolutely love to have a dog or/and cat myself, but since I travel a bit too often, pet sitting is the perfect balance. When I lived in Whitby, I volunteered as a dog walker for people in need and looked after their pets when they were away or didn’t have time to care for them. I also provided in home care, making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their own space. I always listen to pet owners and make sure to follow each pet’s routine, preferences and personality. Every animal is different and I’ve met dogs who were shy, super energetic, extra cuddly or even a little particular about who they liked! I take the time to get to know each pet and adapt to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, loved and at ease while you’re away.

Hi! I’m Ricco and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with dogs and always had pets around me, so caring for them has been a big part of my life.
I moved from Hong Kong to the UK almost four years ago and have fallen in love with Edinburgh — it’s such a wonderful place to live and share with pets!
Back in Hong Kong, I worked in animal rescue for over 10 years, helping injured and newborn cats and dogs. This experience gave me the skills, patience, and confidence to care for pets of all kinds. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I am committed and responsible in everything I do for them.
Since moving to the UK almost four years ago, I have continued my dedication to pets. I brought with me two dogs I rescued from the streets, and caring for them has been a rewarding daily commitment.&nbsp;
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my love for animals and my desire to give them comfort, care, and happiness while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with both pets and their families. I also offer services such as daily walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.I work from home, so I can spend a lot of time with them, provide companionship, and take care of their needs throughout the day. I make sure that the pets are taken at least three times a day, or more if needed.
There is a large lakeside park about a five-minute walk from my home, where I can take them for walks in the morning or in the evening. In addition, there is a fenced park just outside my back door where they can also go for walks and get some exercise
As I have previously worked in a large animal centre, I understand that different pets have different personalities. This allows me to manage and care for more than two pets from different households, helping them get along safely.
My home has three separate rooms, which makes it easy to keep pets apart when needed and gradually introduce them to each other at a comfortable pace. Pets are welcome to jump on the sofa and sleep, and they are also free to move around the house.


Cosy Pup is a local dog care business, specialising in exercising dogs in a small group, off lead and secure environment. Our main aim is to allow dogs to play together, exercise and socialise. We collect dogs from their homes in South East Edinburgh and take them in small groups to a secure field to play. We offer morning and afternoon social sessions including 60 minutes of play, collection and drop off.
We are Rebecca and Melissa the co-directors of Cosy Pup Ltd, dog walkers and sitters in Edinburgh. We have always held a love for animals and the outdoors, stemming from numerous trips to the countryside during our childhood.
After gaining extensive experience working at an established dog daycare, we decided the time was right to move on and create our own dog care business.
Cosy Pup is fully insured and registered with Edinburgh Council. We are also fully trained in dog first aid just incase an accident occurs.



Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my profile. I’m Laszlo, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog sitter based in Craigmillar/Niddrie. 
As a responsible and attentive carer, I offer tailored services based on your dog’s individual needs—whether they’re full of energy and need playtime and walks, or prefer a slower pace with cuddles and company. I’m experienced with dogs of small and medium sizes, puppy to adult ages, and I always strive to keep their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible.
Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or video check-ins for peace of mind.
There’s nothing more rewarding than making a pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their humans are away or attending boring human stuff.
Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pup! 
** It is important you know that I don't hold any qualifications to - ,and hasn't been formally trained to handle animals of any type! I owned a jack russel terrier (size don't matter!) and regularly dog sit for friends so created this profile purely out of my love for dogs. **

About me: 
I am spiritual and lead my life with empathy, I love other animals as much as humans. Other animals have likes, personalities and feelings just like us – we are the same at heart, so we all deserve to be treated with kindness, patience and targeted approach.

Best care guaranteed — because your companion deserves it. 


 Please consider that to every animal their life is priceless, like your life is to you, mine is to me or your companion animal’s life is to them. 

Please understand that by buying and consuming animal “products” and “by-products” innocent animals will be exploited, harmed and killed in effect of the supply — demand chain life cycle. 


Did you know? Veganism is a moral principle that humans should live without exploiting other animals. It’s simply respecting animals. And consequently certain ethical practices follow, such as a plant based diet.

And science confirms humans and cats and dogs can be perfectly healthy off a plant based diet. 

So why should your companion’s life cost 1000 other animals their lives? It shouldn’t. 


Please live vegan and speak up for the animals, as they cannot speak or defend themselves. They don’t have a choice, but you do. 

Not sure how? Google the Cube of Truth website or ask ChatGPT “how to go vegan now”. You can’t change the past but you can decide there will be 0 more animals exploited because of you.

Hi I'll answer these in order make it easy for everyone .My motivation for this job is I love animals always have I've spent my whole life dedicated to learning everything I possibly can about them.I have plenty of experience I've worked in kennels/catteries and stabels I've been an independently dog walker for 3 years now and I've pet sat birds/rodents/aquatic animals and reptiles I've owned some of these animals aswell.I offer experience dealing with different problems: leash pulling/chewing/advice on species/breed specific issues&nbsp;I'm starting a college course on animal behaviour I've not completed it yet so I will not be a certified professional.&nbsp;I am able to administer oral medication to pets .For home visits I'll stay as long as I can it usually depends of what you need me to do such as feed/ change water /give medication and playtime to your pets.Dog walks can range the same it depends on what your pet needs walking a pug compared to a collie is a different amount of time usually minum 15 minutes to an hour max.House sitting I can be booked all day for multiple days if needed of course I might have to pop out for an hour max to deal with appointments or nearby pet Poppins.&nbsp;

Ever wondered where your dog would go if you let them lead a walk? What about if they have a hidden aptitude for solving puzzles or playing hide-and-seek? I specialise in making sure that your dog doesn't just get the exercise they need, but has a fun and enriching experience whether I'm working as a sitter or a walker. If you're on vacation, your dog deserves a vacation too! I have experience working with large breeds, high-energy working dogs, dogs with behavioural needs and medical needs, and (lots of!) cute and furry family pets. With every dog I work with you and with them to figure out what they want to do on their walks or while petsitting, and do that with them! With some dogs we find all-new walking routes and go for adventures together, and with others we stick to your neighbourhood routine and play exciting enrichment games or work on new tricks. And if it's a couch potato party of two that floats your dog's boat, bring on the Netflix and cuddles! Whatever your dog wants and needs, I will make sure they get it and have a great time.&nbsp;
I am also a keen hiker and runner, so if your dog could use a major energy burn-off midday I would love to take them for a walk or run on the beach,down Lade Braes, or around town. I'm comfortable and experienced running with larger dogs (see photos for a pair of labradors that clearly missed their calling as sled dogs!), and equally happy to adapt pace and distance to suit little legs. If a more sedate pace suits your pup, a slow and steady meander is just as fun :).&nbsp;
A quick note: I love an off-leash adventure as much as the next person, but your pup's safety is my top priority. For more independant-minded dogs (I had a Basset Hound for 10 years - I get it!:) or dogs that aren't sure about recalling to a new person, I am more than happy to provide a 40ft leash for beach time and other fun.&nbsp;
