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.

Hi, I'm Martin and I love dogs. A little more about me:
- I am Canine First Aid trained: Level 2 (VTQ)
- I am Public Liabilty Insured.
- I've been dog sitting with Pawshake for over two years, and looking after dogs for longer.
- I live alone in my own house near Stanley, in a quiet corner at the end of the terrace.
- I am a Brand Ambassador for a UK based dog food company.&nbsp;
I require your dogs to be house trained.
Disclaimer: I am an actor. It is possible that I will need to cancel a booking for a job. This is very rare and has only happened once. Also, I'm reluctant to commit to bookings more than a few months in advance.
The nature of my work means that I'm unable to have a pet of my own. So yours will be getting all my love &amp; attention.

Full daily dog sits together with adhock weekend/holiday sits and overnight stays at the pets home are also available.I have an enhanced DBS check and are fully insured.
I am a responsible, reliable and dedicated person who loves what I do, so please get in touch if I can help! 


Experienced pet sitter, used to take care of dogs, cats, and rabbits from friends and family. Lived in an farm for a few years, used to take care of animals on a daily basis, feed them, love them and care for them. I am motivated around pets, they make me happy. I love to teach and play with them. I can provide services such as taking care of small to medium sized dogs, take them for walks, take care of them on my free time at owners house as well. I will be available at your service to take care of your lovely pet at most of the time. I don't have experience in vaccinating or any medical emergencies the pet may need, I only know how to administer basic first aid, in case it might get injured. With dogs, I usually go out for a walk and try to play as much as possible, to increase the dogs productivity and happiness. I live with my partner in a 2 bed house/bungalow, that has a lot of space and freedom for your pet. I am looking forward for my next service. Thank you! :)

Hello! My name is Thea and I offer a pet sitting service specifically for cats, where I will visit your home to look after your cat(s) while you are away. I am based in Chester-le-Street, but can travel as far as Durham, Newcastle, or Bishop Auckland if needed. The duration of single visits is about 1 hour, but you can book me for double visits which means I will come twice a day (perfect if your kitties are used to being fed in the morning and evening), or overnight which means I will spend the full 24 hours around your cat, which I know can be reassuring to some people whose feline friends require an extra amount of attention. I have been around pets my entire life, and have owned a cat (on occasion several cats) since the age of 7. I know from experience how difficult it can be to leave your pet when going away, so I would love to help ease this process and make both you and your feline friend's experience apart as comfortable and stress-free as possible by providing them with the utmost care and attention during your time away. I know that every cat is different and always take the time to get to know the cat's own set of needs and ways of communicating. I have previous experience looking after kitties, including shy and aloof cats who tend to warm to me in their own way. If you choose me as your next cat sitter I will make sure your kitty is well taken care of, and will send daily pictures and updates of our time together. I offer daily visits to your home so that your cat can feel comfortable in its own environment, and can also do overnight stays. I am usually available in the morning and early afternoon, but can be made available other times of day if needed. I am also happy to water plants and collect mail. I look forwards to hearing from you!:)


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.

I prefer at least two weeks notice for bookings as this allows time for a meet and greet and follow up meeting if required before the booking takes place. 

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Hi! My name is Danuta, but I usually go by Danka. Nice to meet you! I'm a 31 years old Polish pet lover and I've been living in North East of England for over 11 years. Currently located in Gateshead, Bensham. 
I have always loved pets. I remember when as a child my cousin asked me what would I do if I was super rich when I grow up and I said - I would have a house full of pets! I do not have much experience working as a paid pet sitter but from young age I was a co-owner of fish, rabbit and a dog. Unfortunately my current situation is not suitable for having a pet but I always happily care for my friends furry babies such as dogs, cats and rabbits, when they go away or simply need a favour. I thought, why not turn it into something more and become a pet sitter! What a dream job! 
I offer overnight stays (at owners house as my landlord doesn't allow pets). I'm happy to clean your pets litter box or cage, feed them, play with them, even water your plants. Hope I didn't forget about anything! 
I work shifts in my main job, where I work as a support worker, so my availability depends on my work rota. 
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet!
