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 Houghton le Spring 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 Houghton le Spring.

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 Houghton le Spring 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 Work full time for the NHS for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme, Monday-Friday, 8.45am-5pm. This means I am able to perform a drop in visit prior to starting work and I'm able to provide your pet with plenty of fuss on a evening, as well as being available almost every weekend. For house sitting, I could reduce my hours (with notice) so that your pet isn't home alone for too long. My house visits are 30 minutes long, if I don't have any other plans and your pet loves attention, then I'd be happy to stay longer (at no extra charge).
I don't accept too many bookings on the same day, I like to be organised so that I know how much time I have. I'm very punctual.
I lost my French bulldog in December and the pain was too much, I could never go through that heartbreak again. So I've decided to become a pet sitter, that way I get to give other people's pets a lot of fuss and attention.
I have been a pet sitter for my friends and I've also had a few jobs from another app. I'm happy with following your rules and routines. I'm comfortable with administering medication, my furbaby was on painkillers, metacam, she needed ear and eye drops and required medicated bathing. I also had a house rabbit who needed to be syringe fed a few times. I will clean litter trays as well as furballs. If you book me for a long period of time, I would also put your bins out for collection.
I'm DBS checked and fully insured. I will send you daily updates as well as pictures of your beloved pets. I would always contact you in an emergency and would seek urgent veterinary treatment should your pet require any.
If you have any nervous animals, I'm happy to let them come to me, I would never enforce any attention. But if you have a cuddly pet.......then I'd be more than happy to oblige!
My girl used a wheelchair, so I'm comfortable with those as well as buggies.
I would only ever walk your pets, I don't do group walks. I love walks along the coast and my furbaby loved chasing the squirrels in our local park and cemetery. Walks are usually 30 minutes long, longer if we are along the coast as we'll probably stop for a pupcup (as long as your pet is allowed to have ). I also don't allow dogs off lead, unless it's in a safe and enclosed garden.


From a ripe old age of 3 my mum had a gorgeous white Persian cat, apparently I was the most gentle with her and I would sit and stroke her gently. Through out my childhood we rescued cats from the street and I would always help build little dens for them and chastise other kids for ever hurting them. That's where my love for cats began. My childhood pet Tabatha was a little pet companion to me she slept in the bed and I learnt to feed her by this time I was around 11. Into my young adult hood we had a gorgeous tortoise shell kitty and I rescued her from a pet shop. It wasn't usual for us but I wanted to keep her safe and in the knowledge she would have comfort and food and not neglected.
I lived with a partner and a big black and white semi wild Tom cat came to our home more often and not and he was very timid to start but got closer til then he popped in every day for breakfast at mine and several other houses (six dinner Sid) but then he stayed at night he was a very humorous cute cat who adopted us! He was a lovely nature but sometimes he'd go astray n I was his cat mum.
I now have a purpose in life to care and protect animals and the cats local to me. I have quickly slotted into the local communitys hub to talk cat and I even sold my premium cat kin food as my Athena didn't want it.Cats and dogs, other small domesticated pets also (guineas/rabbits/rodents) in the Whickham area is a place where I could offer my services.&nbsp;I can do a one to 2 night cat stay if needed or morning breakfast feeds and walks for pooches.I will be relocating to Blyth in the near future so i expect to be there by end of July 2026.Afternoon and evening feeds as well as nurture through care and grooming.I offer cat sitting/dog sit ins walks and daily visits for short visits currently. I&nbsp;Will start offer dog boarding once relocated to Blyth. Ill update my home!    &nbsp;If you would be interested just pop me a message pleaseKind regardsHanBell

Experienced Dog Walker, Pet Visitor, and Pet Sitter with Dog Training Skills

As a passionate pet lover with extensive hands-on experience, I am excited to offer reliable dog walking, pet sitting, and pet visiting services. I also bring valuable skills in dog training, which means I can reinforce positive behaviors and help with basic commands during walks and visits.

I hold a valid DBS check, am fully insured, and have my own vehicle, allowing me to travel easily to different locations and ensure your pet gets the attention they need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets while providing them with the care and companionship they deserve.

Services Offered:

Dog Walking: Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or needs an energetic walk, I can tailor the activity to your pet’s needs. During our walks, I can also work on reinforcing training commands such as sit, stay, and heel.

Pet Sitting: I offer in-home pet sitting, ensuring your pets stay in a familiar, comforting environment while you are away. From feeding to playtime, I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and care.

Pet Visits: If your pet needs regular check-ins, I can provide short visits to ensure they are fed, walked, and given some company. This service is great for pets that don’t require lengthy walks but still need attention and care throughout the day.

With a strong focus on communication and reliability, I aim to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, while giving you peace of mind. Whether your pet needs daily walks, training reinforcement, or long-term sitting, I am here to provide flexible and trusted care.
