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 Harpenden 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 Harpenden.

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 Harpenden 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,Looking for a pet sitter. I am a job seeker. I am looking to earn some pocket money by spending time with your cute furry beings. I am Available for house sitting your furry friend. I am also willing to take them on walks 2-3 times a day. I also can take care of them while you're away for the day. I have experience with dogs and cats and I absolutely love them.&nbsp;I was born and brought up in a house full of pets. I had 3 German shepherds and 1 saint Bernard while growing up. Recently, I had&nbsp; 3rd generation of a German shepherd in our home names Shadow the IIIrd. His birthday is 17 July. And he passed in his sleep at 5 years old.I had 2 parrots fish separately names Golu and Cookie. I had a variety of fishes like parrots, peacock, betas, sliver disks, gold fish and even angel fish. I was unable to keep a dog because I was working and my parents couldn't take care of it anymore. And then I moved here. My saint Bernard named Docxy was like my little baby, we used to eat, sleep and even watch cartoons together. I grew up with her.&nbsp;We eventually have to give her away as Delhi was not a suitable climate for her. I gave up food for 2 days just cause I was very upset with the decision. She came to see me later for 2-3 years and we used to sleep on one another crying. I love my baby. Haven't seen her for ages. I hope she's happy and healthy.Anyway, I love pets. To that extent that I have planned a future with my significant other where I am going to be a mom to 3-4 dogs, 2 cats and a huge aquarium full Of fishes. That's my dream.

I am a council licenced dog boarder, licence no: "LN/fourzerosonetwosixsixnine" who provides a personal and ethical one to one dog boarding, walking or day service using only positive reinforcement techniques to care for your dog. Your dog receives my full attention whilst in my care as I have no other pets and only board one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I am privately insured and am accredited by the world's largest dog training canine institute. I have a distinction in a level 3 daycare and boarding OCN qualified course from a leading training provider. I am also first aid canine trained and certified and have also undertaken additional dog obedience courses. (Certificates can be provided on request.) All of which has enabled me to understand how dogs learn and how best to cater for their unique needs ensuring I provide them with the best care. All training kept up to date to remain current with standards and legislation.I have experienced of caring for a wide range of dog breeds such as German Shepherds, Border Collies, Labradors, Shiba Inu, Maltese, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Spaniels, Terriers and loads more.&nbsp;
My home consists of my own garden with a 8ft brick wall fence. I live close to numerous parks, large open fielded spaces that are mostly private. These  are fantastic for nervous dogs or under socialised dogs. Some of which consist of lakes should your dog enjoy a swim. Brillant in all types of weather , all year round, as they are well maintained spaces. For your peace of mind and your dogs saftey I am privately insured with a leading pet insurance provider.&nbsp;
I can cater for all dogs, whether they're high energy or if they need extra rest or sleep for extended periods of time. Whilst I appreciate the former, I cater for the latter too.For dogs with a lot of energy, a typical day with me consists of a couple of long walks. Some mental stimulation, obedience training to reinforce what they know or teaching of tricks. For low energy dogs, I can stick to short walks, tummy rubs, cuddles, and massages. Daily videos and photos will be sent to you for the duration of their stay.&nbsp;


I am an engineer and I live in Stevenage with a 4-year-old kitten, with whom I have shared moments overseas.
I like pets, especially cats but also dogs. I offer to take care of your kitty if for any reason you don't have time or have to travel, either at home or staying in mine.
I have cared for friends' cats and I know their needs and habits. My motivation to be a pet sitter is because I like pets and because I also sometimes need pet sitters to take care of my cat when I have to be away for any reason.
In case I take care of them in my house, preferably they are neutered and vaccinated. My cat is neutered.
My work is hybrid remote, so I spend a lot of time at home. I live in an apartment with enough space for everything that is needed. I can also visit in the Stevenage area.


My journey with animals began in childhood, fueled by a dream to one day own a pet shop—a dream my parents nurtured by giving me a dog 14 years ago, who is still my loyal companion today. This lifelong passion has been the driving force behind my active involvement in Malaysia's animal community, where I dedicated myself to part-time pet care, rescue efforts, and adoption events. These experiences have not only allowed me to help countless animals but have also deepened my understanding and commitment to their well-being. Now, as a student in the UK, I am eager to continue this journey. I look forward to connecting with more furry baby here, bringing the same dedication and love I've always held, and taking every new encounter as a step closer to realizing my childhood dream. I have one dog 14 yo dogs now, and two foster dog before (they already in their new family) helping dog let me felt so good, I would like to explore how's the UK pets environment in my study year.

Hi! My name is Jess and I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes. I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, so please send through any enquiries.
I have had a couple years of experience in house sitting for cats and dogs, and also dog walking, so I offer an array of services.
I will walk your dogs per household (so if you have multiple dogs in one household, I can walk these together, otherwise I will not mix dogs from different households). I have a German shepherd and a Labrador and so I am used to big dogs who require a stronger arm.&nbsp;
I will cater to your needs and make sure that your fur friend is loved and safe when in my care!
Please feel free to reach out and I will provide you with further information regarding my services. I am based in Hemel Hempstead and Weybridge.

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and animal-loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including confident dogs, shy indoor cats, energetic puppies, and senior pets who need a gentler routine. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and adapting my approach so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse with over 12 years experience.&nbsp;

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, cat sitting, feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and general companionship.
My dog walks typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs and energy level, and my drop-in visits are usually 20–40 minutes, giving plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and a wellbeing check.

I’m confident handling pets with different behaviour styles — whether that means going slow with nervous or rescue animals or providing extra stimulation for high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable with basic grooming (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning eyes) and can administer simple medications such as tablets or topical treatments following your instructions.

Safety is always my highest priority. I double-check doors and gates, secure leads and harnesses, and pay close attention to body language so I can respond quickly if your pet feels stressed or overwhelmed. If anything unexpected happens, I follow your instructions, stay calm, contact you immediately, and get veterinary help if needed.

One of my favourite experiences was with a nervous rescue cat who hid under the bed during our first meeting. With time, patience, and gentle interaction, she eventually greeted me at the door, rolled onto her back, and followed me around for treats. Moments like that remind me why I love caring for animals they all have their own story, and earning their trust is something I truly value.

I’m committed to providing reliable updates, photos, and honest communication so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping them happy, safe, and understood.

I look forward to meeting you and your adorable companions

Looking forward to possibly working with you


I'm Steph, an Australian equine veterinarian who has recently moved to the UK for at least 6 months! I am living in Berkhamsted and I work week on/week off in the Aylesbury region. I love spending time with animals, reading, hiking and horse riding.
As a recently relocated vet and animal lover, I am really missing my family pets in Australia, and would love the opportunity to be around animals! I love walking and hiking, and dog walking would be a wonderful way to explore the many walks of this beautiful part of the UK with a furry friend! I work in the evenings on weekdays, so I am easily able to walk, play with or check in on your pets during daytime hours. I would care for your animals as if they're my own, and have experience with dogs with behavioural challenges e.g. anxiety or dog reactivity.

Hi, we’re Gina &amp; Ria - a mother &amp; daughter cat-sitting duo.
We unintentionally fell into the wonderfully rewarding world of pet-sitting, after selling all our possessions to become digital nomads in June 2022.
We set off for what has been one of the best adventures of our lives, spending time in Thailand, Vietnam, Mauritius, Malaysia &amp; the Canary Islands.
Last year we joined a housesit site and have fallen in love with so many cats that we are now completely hooked.
Gina is a retired teacher, author of 3 poetry and 1 short story book and a Happiness Coach.
Ria is an Empath coach, meditation teacher and Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner.
We are both vegan, animal lovers and reiki practitioners. We are often told by our clients that our great energy has a positive and calming effect on their kitties.
Two of our greatest loves are cats and travel.
That’s why it’s so important to us that your kitties receive all the love and stability they need whilst your away.&nbsp;
We understand that every cat is different and has it’s own personality, preferences and set of needs. Consequently we take the time to understand your cats unique needs so that we can tailor our approach and ensure your cats receive their upmost emotional and physical comfort.&nbsp;
We want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your home and cat/s are being well taken care of.&nbsp;
We usually send daily updates, photos and videos so you can see your kitties are settled and happy.



Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a second-year university student studying Children’s Nursing. I’ve always had a deep love and connection with animals, especially having grown up around farms in Colombia.
I currently have a senior dog and a young cat who stay at home with my mum, and being at uni without them is tough. That’s why I’m really motivated and excited to look after other peoples pets! While I haven’t used a website like this before, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets over the years, including looking after multiple cats and dogs for friends and family—sometimes even three at once
I always prioritize every pet’s safety and comfort, understanding that each have their own unique needs and personality. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I ensure pets feel loved and well cared for. I also accept unvaccinated pets, so if that’s something you need, I’m happy to accommodate.
If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help!
