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 Ingatestone 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 Ingatestone.

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 Ingatestone 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 Halle, an animal lover with a lifelong passion caring for pets.
I love giving animals cuddles and attention, but I’m just as happy keeping them company while they relax. I have hands-on experience such as currently working in a kennel and cattery, where I care for cats and dogs through walking, feeding, administering medication, cleaning, and ensuring their health and safety. I’ve also completed courses in animal behaviour and hold a Pet Psychology Diploma.

Growing up, my home was always full of animals, and I’ve rescued several along the way. My most recent, Marshmallow, a sweet cat with medical issues and an unfortunate feral background. He taught me the importance of patience and gentle care. I am very comfortable working with anxious or nervous animals, always focusing on helping them feel secure and minimising stress.

I know how hard it is to leave your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own by offering love, attention, and consistent care. I’m also happy to keep you updated for extra peace of mind. Nothing makes me happier than helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through cuddles, companionship, or attentive care tailored to their needs🤍

PLEASE READ:

Same Household Rule: For walks, I only take pets from the same household at one time for safety and comfort.

Behavioural Information: Please let me know in advance if your pet has any behaviours I should be aware of, such as guarding, biting, anxiety, nervousness, or leash reactivity.

Health &amp; Safety: Pets should be in good health for walks. Please make me aware if your pet needs limited exercise, gentle play only, or no play at all so I can tailor care to their needs.

Emergency Contact: If you will not have quick access to your phone, please provide me with an alternative emergency contact.

Walking Gear: Dogs should have a secure, well-fitted harness or collar and lead provided by the owner.

Feeding &amp; Medication: If your pet requires food or medication, clear instructions must be given in writing or by text message, clearly.

House Access: Please ensure I can safely and securely access your home for visits/walks.

Weather Conditions: Walks may be shortened or adjusted in extreme weather (very hot, icy, or stormy conditions) to ensure your pet’s safety.

Extra Information: Some details may not seem necessary, but any information you can provide me about your pet is always helpful in making sure they’re cared for in the best way possible.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me as I'd be happy to answer. My main concern is the safety and happiness of your pet but also your reassurance of my care️


Hi, I’m Jessica — a fully insured London-based dog sitter offering local and travel sits 
I have experience with a range of breeds and temperaments through my professional and volunteer sitting as well as volunteer work with the Dogs Trust. I have been dog sitting professionally for 2 years and it is my main job, not a side hustle.
I am currently studying remotely for a diploma in canine care and behaviour so am able to provide round the clock company for your fur baby.
I make it my priority to stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible to keep them calm and happy while you’re away. 
I always offer a free meet and greet before confirming a sit so I can come and meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a good fit.
I am also happy to adjust rates depending on how long you would need me for, so please do reach out and we can discuss.

Hello my name is Laura I offer house sitting, drop in visits, dog training and dog walking.

I absolutely love animals it's my passion since I was a child and I love taking care of them I always wanted to work with animals it has been always my dream since I was little. You can rely on me that your best friend is going to be in best hands! I have a experience as a dog trainer as well. I can't have a dog at the moment so this is the way I would love to spend some more time with animals. I am very flexible with my work, so I can accommodate for your dog baby at most times. I can take them for walks or make day visits for feeding and playing or dog sit for the day. I am very responsible please feel free to message me if you have any question.

I can't wait to meet you and your pet family! Please don't hesitate to drop me a message!!! Thank you 

Hi everyone, if you don’t know me I’m Laura.&nbsp;
I’ve had the joy of looking after Dogs for friends and family over the past 10 years. Animals are a true passion of mine, therefore I decided to take things a step further and make it a permanent lifestyle.
Combining my love of animals with work.&nbsp;

I’ve always had dogs myself but after loosing my last fur baby I decided that looking after other people’s furry pets would give me the best of both worlds.&nbsp;

I’ve been very lucky to have many dogs over the years, with a mix of breeds from small to large. One in particular came with behavioural &amp; health issues due to being a rescue, therefore handling dogs with all dispositions would be my forte.&nbsp;

Public Liability insurance held. Please message with any questions you may have or to book in.&nbsp;

My services I am offering include….&nbsp;
- Dog walking including single walks, multi pet household walks &amp; groups walks up to 3 already socialised dogs.&nbsp;
- Pet sitting - I’m happy to pet sit for all animals requiring walks, feeds &amp; attention.&nbsp;
(I am able to homestay for holidays but will have limited availability)
- pet drop ins - daily feeds, companion time &amp; medication administration&nbsp;

Thank you&nbsp;
Laura

“From playful walks to cosy companionship, Tia &amp; Paws is dedicated to keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.”
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and that passion is what drives me as a pet sitter. Working my part‑time job at Medivet has strengthened my understanding of animal care, behaviour, and overall wellbeing.
Alongside my part time role at Medivet, I run Tia &amp; Paws, where I offer dog walking, drop‑ins, pet‑sitting &amp; pet taxi services for all small animals. My motivation comes from knowing how important it is for owners to feel completely at ease when they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and experienced in both professional and home‑based pet care, I’d be delighted to help.


You could probably open a zoo with the amount of animals I've had to look after / own / care for! My childhood has always been surrounded by furry friends and even when younger my parents used to dog sit! I've got a little experience of playing and looking after ferrets and cats but my biggest knowledge is dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm available throughout the day at different times but happy to adjust to your animal's needs if there's a specific time required. If your animal is a nervous one, we can arrange a meet up so that it's not a stranger on their first meet in their home. Home visits can be adjusted, I set the times for 30 mins or an hour but if more / less is needed just let me know. Walks can also be adjusted depending on the fitness level, age and demand of your pet. I also love taking photos so the chances are you'll have a pet photoshoot included! By day to day I'm cabin crew due to my restricted flying hours I get a lot of time off and with plans to hopefully buy my own home next year with my partner, I'm looking to earn some extra money to help us get there a little bit quicker! It's vital for an animal to get their daily walks and exercise and sometimes life gets in the way of being able to get them the full attention they deserve. If you have any questions, doubts or worries, drop me a message and I'm always happy to send updated pictures and messages to reassure you that your furry child is in great hands! 


Hi there, I'm Jenny a&nbsp;cat lover living in UpminsterI grew up with 2 cats called Smudge and Evie. Smudge is a big character cat who has diabetes and an ability to make everyone love him in his quest for food. Evie is a wary character but loves belly rubs from her family.&nbsp;I miss them a lot as they live with my parents, and my house share isn't allowed cats. So this is where I've found cat sitting is a massive joy for me! I've been active on a different catsitting app for a while and have been advised to join PawShake aswell.During a visit, I'll cuddle, play, set out fresh food and water and change litter trays for your cat(s). Average visits are between 20-45 minutes and i am happy to take twice a day bookings. I'm also happy to look after other small animals such as rabbits and fish if needed. (And plants). I'll also put the bins out if bin day falls while you are away!I prefer to meet pets first before confirming a booking to understand their routines. Please just send me a message if you have any questions 

My husband and I are keen adventurers we love walking, nature and cosying up to watch a movie. We are very disciplined with pet routines and are very keen to spoil them with lots of affection once they warm up to us. I have owned numerous pets including aquatic pets  (fish/axolotl), birds(budgies), rats, and chickens since childhood. All of which have lived well past their maximum life expectancy, and have had positive reports from their vets. I have even managed to travel with my pets they settled well. We love pets and would love to own more if we could move to a bigger space (dog or cat). My husband and I would love to travel the uk more and we are open to any setup. We are currently only available during school holidays due to our work. Please get in touch, we'd love to consider your pet sitting request. We are offering house and petsitting opportunities during school holidays; we would love to travel away from our local area and are open to UK wide bookings.


I gave up my office job to do something I love and I love animals and being outside especially in nature. I get to take dogs for walks and hang out with cats and other animals which is fun and rewarding. I've been dog walking and pet sitting for almost 2 years now and I care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs and cats in my home, so I have lots of experience. Unfortunately I cannot board any animals in my home as my cat would never allow it but I can come to your home. I offer dog walking, pet visits and house sitting and if you require it overnight stays as well. I am available morning, afternoon and evenings. I'm based in the South Benfleet area and I can travel around 2 miles to clients homes. I walk 1-2 dogs at a time and only if you're comfortable with another dog accompanying your dog on a walk. The dog walks are from an hour but if they are not comfortable going for walks I'll be happy to play with the pets/ keep them company in your home. During the pet/ house sit I will take in post, water plants, empty litter trays, refill food and water, take out/ bring in bins etc. I can stay with the pets for 1+ hours - all day. I usually take the dogs around local roads/parks on their walks depending on your preferences. I will adhere to any security requirements you need, i.e use of locks and alarms. If you'd like to know more please get in touch.&nbsp;


I love all animals. I have had the honour of having many pets over the years including an anxious JRT and a bossy Pom/Bichon mix who have now sadly both passed. I have also had goldfish, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils. I currently have an eclectic mix of 2 BSH cats &amp; several fancy mice.&nbsp;
I have a large fenced garden at home, I'm in a ground floor maisonette so no stairs. Pets are allowed on my furniture in a smoke free home.&nbsp;
Let me know of any special needs, behaviours, any medications, if a nap is required. Favourite place to sleep, favourite toys, treats and favourite places to walk and any tricks to practise. I have had experience with my own cats and dogs and smaller animals.
Each pet is different and you know your furry friend best so can describe their personality, if they need reassurance or if they like space I will give them whichever you would prefer.
A typical day would involve feeding and walking, water, practising tricks, playing catch, hide and seek, nap if required. Any check ins, medication and care and attention, feeding again later, water. Any cleaning out required. Any time spent with a pet is never time wasted.
Evening snuggling on a sofa.&nbsp;

I look forward to meeting you and your furry family soon!
