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 Great Shelford 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 Great Shelford.

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 Great Shelford 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 over 10 years of pet sitting experience and have cared for animals my whole life. I’m confident with feeding, grooming, administering medication, and adapting to different routines and personalities.
I regularly help friends with dog sitting and walking, and I’m comfortable caring for well-behaved dogs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I focus on making sure they feel relaxed and well cared for.
At home I have four rabbits, so I’m very used to caring for animals and paying close attention to their needs.
I have a flexible schedule, so I can fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, including weekends, and I make sure to plan my time so each pet gets the care and attention they need.
I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, care, and any specific needs.
I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always leave things clean and tidy. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well.I keep a close eye on behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m comfortable giving medication if needed. If anything seems unusual, I’ll get in touch straight away.

I'm new to Pawshake but have experience walking and sitting dogs on another platform!
I am a proud owner of an English Pointer energetic enough to run around the world! This experience has taught me how to care for large dogs (30kg +) and the exercise and mental stimulation required for high energy dogs.
From a child, I grew up looking after my grandparents 6 Springer Spaniels (YES, all 6 of them!!) which taught me the skills to look after multiple dogs (3/4) at the same time and how to deal with the challenges associated with this. Additionally, frequently looking after friends and family dogs over 15 years has exposed me to a wide range of dog breeds, big, small, energetic and docile. To list a few.... Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, Bull Dog, Labradoodle, Maltese, Vizsla, Border Collie, and many more!!!
My day usually starts early (around 7 am) which means I'm available for morning walks. I'm a PhD student at the University of Cambridge so available all year round and have a fairly flexible schedule so can pop over during lunch to take care of your dog if needed. Additionally, am available after work and anytime on the weekend so I am flexible to work around you! I currently live in student accommodation so I am unable to house pets, however I am more than happy to come to your home for sitting.
As a proud owner of a large gun dog (English Pointer) I am well experienced in how much exercise is required to keep large dogs entertained! I love to go for long walks in the beautiful Cambridge countryside and stroll through the fields. I am happy to Taylor each day to your dog's personality and needs weather thats playing tug of war, a long game of fetch or just attention and cuddles.
If you need any more information don't hesitate to reach out! I am confident looking after all dog breeds, sizes and personalities with my priority to always make your dog feel comfortable and cared for.


Hello I'm Damiano, I run a professional dog walking and sitting business called Whittlesford Walks with my wife Alice. Our dog walking and sitting business was born out of bringing our first family puppy home, a miniature longhaired dachsund called Oscar.&nbsp;
It was through teaching him and learning how to walk him etc that we found our love for dogs and need to give them the best. Since opening our doors in 2020 we have grown slowly but surely giving the best care and attention to all our dogs. We are fully insured and have great knowledge of breeds and temperaments.&nbsp;
It's our goal to treat your pet as if they were being walked/looked after by you yourself. We like to give engaging and enriching Walks whilst have the utmost fun. So get in touch with us today and see what we can do for you and your pup.&nbsp;
We promise you won't regret it 

Hi! My name's Coury and I LOVE animals! I have a level 2 and 3 certificate in animal care and I am currently working towards a degree in Zoology.I have worked previous jobs in a Kennel, doggy daycare and for a breeder. All these jobs helped me adapt and learn and become more confident working with dogs, going from an inexperienced volunteer at a Kennels and Cattery, to confidently walking and playing with 13 pedigree golden retrievers and labs all at once! I'm still learning and growing but I am confident in working with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals and think I would be the perfect choice to look after your furry friend. I'm currently limited in the evenings but free anytime before 3pm. Please feel free to contact me!I don't drive so for pet sitting/visits your home will have to be in walkable distance from ARU university or for an additional fee I can get the bus!My services include dog walking, pet sitting and pet visits. I can work from any time before 3pm from Monday to fridays as I have work during the evening, but free any time weekends&nbsp;

For me, pet sitting has always been like therapy — a source of comfort and joy that I carry with me wherever I go. Growing up, cats were a constant presence in my life, and that bond with animals never faded — I even had the unforgettable experience of helping my cat deliver her kittens, who became a beloved part of our family. Now that renting an apartment has made it impossible to have a pet of my own, I've found that caring for yours is the next best thing — and honestly, just as rewarding. I am happy for you to give me the routine, and I will do my best to follow it.&nbsp;
I'm the kind of person who can't walk past a dog on the street without saying hello (with the owner's blessing, of course!), and who genuinely lights up around animals of all shapes and sizes. Your pet won't just be in safe hands — they'll be with someone who truly loves what they do.&nbsp;
I can't wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the attention they deserve.&nbsp;


I’ve grown up surrounded by animals since I was a child, and I honestly can’t imagine my life without them. I know exactly how hard it is to leave your beloved companion with a stranger—it's a huge act of trust! That’s why I make it my mission to treat every guest as if they were my own family, providing a warm and stress-free environment.With me, your pet will never feel lonely. We’ll enjoy fun adventures at the park, long cuddle sessions on the sofa, and I will strictly follow every one of their feeding and resting habits to ensure they feel completely at ease. To keep you relaxed while you're away, I’ll send you daily photo updates and sweet videos of our time together, so you’ll never miss a moment of their day. I’m committed to providing a "home away from home" experience where your pet feels safe, happy, and truly loved. I’m patient, attentive, and ready to adapt to any special needs your pet might have.I can’t wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite human!
