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 Ilkeston 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 Ilkeston.

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 Ilkeston 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 currently studying Dance Movement Psychotherapy at the University of Derby, which might sound a bit unusual for pet sitting but it means I’m trained to understand emotions and body language beyond words.
I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I used to have three dogs and two cats, I also have experience caring for rabbits, turtles, ferrets, and parrots (my mum has two!), which has made me comfortable adapting to different temperaments and care needs.
Since moving to the UK, I’ve really missed my pets, which is one of the reasons I’m so drawn to pet sitting. Being around animals brings me comfort, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with them.
In terms of daily care, I tailor everything to your pet. For dogs, I usually offer 30–60 minute walks depending on their energy level, along with playtime and companionship at home. For cats and smaller animals, I focus on maintaining their routine and gentle interaction. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, water intake, cleanliness, and overall wellbeing.
When it comes to behaviour, I approach pets with patience and understanding. If a pet shows signs of anxiety, overexcitement, I focus on creating a safe and predictable environment rather than forcing interaction. I use gentle redirection and calm presence to support them in settling. I respect each animal’s boundaries while also maintaining clear structure.
I am comfortable administering basic medication (such as oral medication if clearly instructed), and I always follow the owner’s guidance carefully. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while you’re away. If any unexpected situation arises, I stay calm, observe carefully, and contact you promptly while taking appropriate action to ensure your pet’s safety.
Through my volunteering experience, I’ve developed strong responsibility, patience, and reliability. I only accept vaccinated pets and always maintain a clean, safe, and peaceful environment.
I understand how important your pet is to you, and I will treat them with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care just like they’re my own. 

As a dog owner of 2 chihuahuas (one is 10 and the other is 20) I value the importance of how hard it is to find people that click with them and that it's not a rushed process....like people we all have our levels of being socially comfortable around others so i like to let amimals go at their own pace to become buddies with me.&nbsp;
I've grown up and looked after lots of creatures from Lizards, rats, Chinchillas, scorpians and toads...i was proudly the guinea pig catcher at junior school too 
I love all sizes and breeds of dogs but I feel my strength is with smaller dogs and understand the importance of keeping a close eye on them when taking them for walks out and about...the world is a big place for them!

I love taking pictures and giving updates when pet sitting cats and dogs for friends in the past. I enjoy a cuddle with a moggy too and have alot of good energy to share. I'm also a light sleeper so if you needed a house sitter my ears are as keen as a chihuahuas.

Speaking from experience having the reassurance in a pet sitter is something that you never realise you need until it's time to take a trip or spend a long day at work.
Dogs are legends an cats have the magic of calm energy...all creatures are epic! So if you'd like some help and to put your mind at rest let me know how I can help :)


With years of experience in dog daycares, grooming salons, and kennels, I’ve honed my ability to handle animals of all temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve spent my life surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from large and small dog breeds to cats, bearded dragons, tortoises, and guinea pigs. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve completed studies in Animal Science, Management, and Behaviour, giving me a well-rounded understanding of pets’ physical and emotional needs.
Running my own pet care business, KTM Pets, for over a year has further enhanced my hands-on skills and deepened my passion for providing personalised, attentive care. I’m qualified in Pet First Aid and Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business, and I always stay up to date with the latest advancements in pet care to offer the very best for your furry, scaly, or feathered companions. Fully licensed, DBS-checked, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care, I cater to all pets—whether it’s a walk, an overnight stay, or assistance with special needs like administering medication.
Your pets will be in expert hands, and I look forward to offering them the same level of care and attention as if they were my own!

Hi! I'm rom Malaysia and I'm currently working in the UK. I grew up with dogs since childhood. Previously had 2 german shepherds, 2 dalmations and currently, we have 5 mongrels. Recently our dogs had a litter of 6 puppies, we took care of them till 3 months old and gave 3 of them away. I have grown to appreciate dogs over time, especially after nurturing our litter of puppies from birth. Seeing them grow up from the size of my palm to the height of my waist, is simply priceless. I have some basic experience in training dogs, managed to train some of my dogs to sit, stay, lie down, stand up, shake hand. I enjoy walking dogs, running them and playing with them. Back in Malaysia, where my dogs are, I would play tug of war and chase with them. We love just about any dog, it's always fun to spend time with them.
My schedule is flexible and can accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits. As a student, I am always free on the weekends for walks, visit, boarding, etc.
Depending on the dog's personality and needs, I cuddle them, give them attention, or simply leave them alone. If they are the active type, playing toys with them or taking them for a walk is how I would care for them.
The services I provide are Dog Walking, Home visits and House Sitting (where I stay in pet owner's house). My dog walks can range from 30 minutes up to 2 hours depending on your request. During House Sitting I can do as many dog walks as you wish per day. I can supervise pets 24/7, but I trust that you will be reasonable with me leaving the house when necessary.&nbsp;
I do not do Home Dog Boarding or Doggy Daycare due to my flat not being suitable for it.&nbsp;
My services do not grooming.&nbsp;
