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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy.

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 Kirkcaldy 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.

Any home feels a little empty without a pet, luckily growing up my home was never without one (several actually), but sadly since moving to Edinburgh I do not have any. Pet sitting gives me a great opportunity to spend time with loving fur friends, enjoy their unique mannerisms, and maybe go out for some nice walks! I don't have any character requirements I just want them to be themselves, whether your pet is energetic, shy, indifferent, growly, etc. It’s more about company, safety and care. Trust is earned and I put the time in to adapt to different pet’s needs and behaviours, with the hope they will feel comfortable and at home with me :)&nbsp;
I have always enjoyed caring for animals and the range of experience I have had branches from domestic animals to wildlife, with a diploma in animal management to support my interest. I have been intermittently pet sitting throughout the years, but more major roles include animal rescue work, habitat conservation, protection of endangered birds, and kennels and cattery work - so quite a mix. During this time, I have cared for various species and breeds; reptiles, dogs, rabbits, cats, and often dealt with behavioural difficulties or anxiety in animals.
I have listed the option of home boarding, having a small but cosy 1st floor flat in Edinburgh centre with aspacious communal garden. There is a little spare room in my flat that works nicely as a space for pets staying, and there are plenty of spots to retreat to/climb up for their own space. My primary job is a professional cleaner so you can also expect a high standard of cleanliness for your pet. To stay with me pets must be vaccinated and have up to date cards, so I hope that's okay :)&nbsp;
My adventures and highlights from pet sitting experiences will be featured on my profile for your enjoyment, and I hope you choose me to be your pet’s new friend!&nbsp;
Thanks for reading.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi there! I'm a 20 year old dog and animal lover from Edinburgh who's looking to make some extra cash whilst I study! I'm very comfortable with animals as I have volunteered at SSPCA when I was younger and had many of my own family pets from medium dogs to tiny rodents. I'm patient, caring and am able to be stern when a dog may need a little more of a push to listen. I enjoy walking in my local area as there is a lot of variety in terms of scenery and would be more than happy to travel around the city. 
As a student it's been tricky for me to find ways of making extra cash so this would be an ideal way for me to do just that whilst also being around my favourite furry friends and enjoying myself :)
If I seem like a fit for you and your pet(s) please feel free to get in touch!


I'm 27, I work full time for a nature charity so I enjoy being outdoors no matter the weather and experiencing the seasons change. I work fully remotely at home in Edinburgh and enjoy taking regular walks in Holyrood park and up Arthur's seat. I am happy to have some canine company on my walks, so offering walks or home visits for those in and around Meadowbank/Restalrig/Piershill. I currently do not work on Mondays so I would be able to offer longer walks or a run on Portobello beach Mondays only.&nbsp;
I have dog-sat my sister's boisterous tibetan terrier many times, and dog walked various breeds and ages. I've been a dog lover all my life, and am currently saving up for a dog of my own! (Fingers crossed for a border terrier).&nbsp;
I am quite small, so happy to take large dogs only if they walk well - I have been pulled over once before!&nbsp;


With flexible working hours, I can easily accommodate your dog’s routine for walks or cat's playtime and cuddles. I’d absolutely love to have a dog or/and cat myself, but since I travel a bit too often, pet sitting is the perfect balance. When I lived in Whitby, I volunteered as a dog walker for people in need and looked after their pets when they were away or didn’t have time to care for them. I also provided in home care, making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their own space. I always listen to pet owners and make sure to follow each pet’s routine, preferences and personality. Every animal is different and I’ve met dogs who were shy, super energetic, extra cuddly or even a little particular about who they liked! I take the time to get to know each pet and adapt to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, loved and at ease while you’re away.

Hello everyone
A little bit about myself, I have a full time job working in finance, flexible and mainly based remotely - working from home. I have always been passionate about things such as nature, travelling, building relationships, sports, walks and of course animals.
I grew up having a few pets, Guinea pig, hamster, cats, my family had dogs so I know how stubborn and supportive German shepherds are, how active Irish setters can be. I have also regularly looked after my friends, family dog(spaniels mainly), I find it very fulfilling.
I don't have a pet of my own now, and I want to continue building this relationship with animals hence I thought this could be a great opportunity for me: I'm interested in dog walking, home visits, ideally small dogs but happy to walk and look after bigger dogs too. I can take in a small/medium size dog at mine if needed (one at the time or two small dogs). Happy to look after some other animals, cats, hamsters, rabbits etc.with regards to boarding, I live at a one bedroom apartment, however, living space is quite spacious - no private garden but we have a communal garden and also some local parks like Inverleith.&nbsp;
I live close to the Inverleith park area so that would be my local spot for walks but I own a car too and happy to take them for a beach walk also. Free parking at my place so it's easy to drop off your pets too.
Happy to meet beforehand as I know it is important to have that connection with a pet but also for you to see me to build trust. I'm responsible and keep my promise with regards to what's agreed, times etc.&nbsp;
Look forward to chatting with you :)


Hi! I’m Ricco and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with dogs and always had pets around me, so caring for them has been a big part of my life.
I moved from Hong Kong to the UK almost four years ago and have fallen in love with Edinburgh — it’s such a wonderful place to live and share with pets!
Back in Hong Kong, I worked in animal rescue for over 10 years, helping injured and newborn cats and dogs. This experience gave me the skills, patience, and confidence to care for pets of all kinds. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I am committed and responsible in everything I do for them.
Since moving to the UK almost four years ago, I have continued my dedication to pets. I brought with me two dogs I rescued from the streets, and caring for them has been a rewarding daily commitment.&nbsp;
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my love for animals and my desire to give them comfort, care, and happiness while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with both pets and their families. I also offer services such as daily walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.I work from home, so I can spend a lot of time with them, provide companionship, and take care of their needs throughout the day. I make sure that the pets are taken at least three times a day, or more if needed.
There is a large lakeside park about a five-minute walk from my home, where I can take them for walks in the morning or in the evening. In addition, there is a fenced park just outside my back door where they can also go for walks and get some exercise
As I have previously worked in a large animal centre, I understand that different pets have different personalities. This allows me to manage and care for more than two pets from different households, helping them get along safely.
My home has three separate rooms, which makes it easy to keep pets apart when needed and gradually introduce them to each other at a comfortable pace. Pets are welcome to jump on the sofa and sleep, and they are also free to move around the house.


Cosy Pup is a local dog care business, specialising in exercising dogs in a small group, off lead and secure environment. Our main aim is to allow dogs to play together, exercise and socialise. We collect dogs from their homes in South East Edinburgh and take them in small groups to a secure field to play. We offer morning and afternoon social sessions including 60 minutes of play, collection and drop off.
We are Rebecca and Melissa the co-directors of Cosy Pup Ltd, dog walkers and sitters in Edinburgh. We have always held a love for animals and the outdoors, stemming from numerous trips to the countryside during our childhood.
After gaining extensive experience working at an established dog daycare, we decided the time was right to move on and create our own dog care business.
Cosy Pup is fully insured and registered with Edinburgh Council. We are also fully trained in dog first aid just incase an accident occurs.

About me: 
I am spiritual and lead my life with empathy, I love other animals as much as humans. Other animals have likes, personalities and feelings just like us – we are the same at heart, so we all deserve to be treated with kindness, patience and targeted approach.

Best care guaranteed — because your companion deserves it. 


 Please consider that to every animal their life is priceless, like your life is to you, mine is to me or your companion animal’s life is to them. 

Please understand that by buying and consuming animal “products” and “by-products” innocent animals will be exploited, harmed and killed in effect of the supply — demand chain life cycle. 


Did you know? Veganism is a moral principle that humans should live without exploiting other animals. It’s simply respecting animals. And consequently certain ethical practices follow, such as a plant based diet.

And science confirms humans and cats and dogs can be perfectly healthy off a plant based diet. 

So why should your companion’s life cost 1000 other animals their lives? It shouldn’t. 


Please live vegan and speak up for the animals, as they cannot speak or defend themselves. They don’t have a choice, but you do. 

Not sure how? Google the Cube of Truth website or ask ChatGPT “how to go vegan now”. You can’t change the past but you can decide there will be 0 more animals exploited because of you.

I’m Ashley, a friendly and reliable pet sitter and dog walker based in Dunfermline. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, from laid back pets to dogs that are full of beans. I’ve looked after dogs, cats and small pets, and I also have my own cockapoo, Roux. He’s sociable, relaxed around other animals and used to sharing space with visiting pets.

I like to keep things simple, calm and safe. I follow each pet’s usual routine, give them plenty of company, and make sure they get the walks and attention they’re used to at home. I have great walking spots nearby, including parks, forest paths and quieter areas for dogs that prefer their own space. Whether your pet needs reassurance, playtime or just someone to keep them company during the day, I’m happy to work around their individual needs and help them feel settled.

I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. I only board fully vaccinated pets.

Hello! My name is Sárasa. 

Animals have always held a special place in my heart — their playful, loving nature inspires me every day. I truly enjoy connecting with them and sharing quiet, joyful moments of care and companionship.

I began pet sitting after noticing how many of my friends and clients felt disheartened about leaving their pets behind when going to work or on holidays. I knew I could offer something special — a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and understood, and their humans enjoy complete peace of mind knowing their companions are cared for with kindness and attention.

Alongside a professional background in childcare and creative mentorship for children and their adults, I have years of experience caring for animals. This taught me the importance of patience, observation, and gentle communication — qualities I bring to every walk, feeding, playtime, or moment of companionship.

Looking forward to caring for your beloved furry companions.

House Sitting, Kirkcaldy
