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 Kirknewton 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 Kirknewton.

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 Kirknewton 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.

Hello!I've recently relocated to Scotland and have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to have some furry companions keeping me active so am providing dog walking and pet sitting services. 
I love exploring new trails and don't often walk along the roads so it'll most likely be woodlands/park walks and will usually be 45 mins to an hour. I've&nbsp;volunteered at the spca with adult dogs, feeding, cleaning and walking them. We were also lucky enough to help out with short term foster for any dogs that needed a break from shelter or sadly any that were ill.&nbsp;As such we've had many a dog pass through our care, from small and timid to large and bolshy and we've loved them all!Through the spca I've done the orientation course and am very familiar with their emotions (anxiety/agression) and will provide the best care to ensure your pet is relaxed and stress free.Please reach out if you're needing a dog walker, companion or pet sitter.I'd love to hear from you.

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.

Hi  
I'll tell you a little about myself so you can understand what I do. I've been a veterinary nurse for 4 years and I've also worked as a pet sitter for 2/5 years. I've worked in veterinary clinics and hospitals and animal shelters, so I have experience as an assistant in surgeries, applying and administering medications, performing dressings and other work of that nature. I'm confident in administering medication and treatments (oral, injections, subcutaneous fluids, wound cleaning, etc.).&nbsp;

My services:
• Frequent updates and photos/videos with every visit: I always make it a point to send a little update of your furry friend at each visit or during my stay to give you a peace of mind wherever you are
• A meet and greet before each booking: this gives all of us (including your pet) a chance to get to know each other better, and some time for us to go over your pet's routine together!
• Following your pet's routine: A change in routine can induce a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety for animals, thus I'll make sure to follow your pet's daily routine closely to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away.

Hi, I'm Sabrina, I've been living in UK for 5 years. I am a lover of animals in general and I particularly love dogs. I had a dog for 17 years and after him we started welcoming dogs at home in Italy, creating a special relationship of affection with each one of them. This experience made me understand that every dog, every breed has its own character and its demanding. My brother is a dog educator and he can give me a lot of advice on how to manage them. Since I am in UK I miss the affection of my four-legged friends and therefore I can't wait to have some furry friends again.
I work full time (9 to 5) but I can WFH. Please feel free to contact me for any questions.&nbsp;
At the moment I cannot host pets in my flat but I happy to come at your home :)
Thanks for your trust.


Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my profile. I’m Laszlo, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog sitter based in Craigmillar/Niddrie. 
As a responsible and attentive carer, I offer tailored services based on your dog’s individual needs—whether they’re full of energy and need playtime and walks, or prefer a slower pace with cuddles and company. I’m experienced with dogs of small and medium sizes, puppy to adult ages, and I always strive to keep their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible.
Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or video check-ins for peace of mind.
There’s nothing more rewarding than making a pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their humans are away or attending boring human stuff.
Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pup! 
** It is important you know that I don't hold any qualifications to - ,and hasn't been formally trained to handle animals of any type! I owned a jack russel terrier (size don't matter!) and regularly dog sit for friends so created this profile purely out of my love for dogs. ** 




Covering all UK for house sitting, with travel included in the quote for a distance up to 50 km from Edinburgh for sittings of at least 2 days. Quote will slightly increase for further distance. Drop in visits and walks available locally only.

What’s included:

 Tailored exercise and play time.

 Based on your companion’s needs.

 Mental stimulation — playing games, and gentle, patient training.

️ Home-from-home comfort — no crates, no kennels, just quality companionship.

 Ethical bonuses for your companion: a welcome goodie bag with plant-based samples.

Perfect for:
Families who value ethical, holistic care.

Those who need more than just basic needs met.


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’ve always had a love for animals and grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and other furry friends. Even though I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, I’ve spent my life caring for animals and enjoying their company, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Every animal has its own personality, and I enjoy getting to know their quirks, routines, and little habits to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I welcome all pets into my care and aim to create a warm, fun, and comfortable space where they can feel completely at home.
Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I know how important pets are to their owners, and I treat every furry guest as if they were my own, giving them care, affection, and reassurance while you’re away :)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Experience and Services
Here’s what I offer to your furry friends:

Walks and outdoor playtime
Feeding and following any special routines
Lots of attention, cuddles, and companionship
A safe, clean, and comfortable environment
Administering medication if needed


My goal is simple: happy pets, relaxed owners, and a little extra love for every guest. :)


Hi I'll answer these in order make it easy for everyone .My motivation for this job is I love animals always have I've spent my whole life dedicated to learning everything I possibly can about them.I have plenty of experience I've worked in kennels/catteries and stabels I've been an independently dog walker for 3 years now and I've pet sat birds/rodents/aquatic animals and reptiles I've owned some of these animals aswell.I offer experience dealing with different problems: leash pulling/chewing/advice on species/breed specific issues&nbsp;I'm starting a college course on animal behaviour I've not completed it yet so I will not be a certified professional.&nbsp;I am able to administer oral medication to pets .For home visits I'll stay as long as I can it usually depends of what you need me to do such as feed/ change water /give medication and playtime to your pets.Dog walks can range the same it depends on what your pet needs walking a pug compared to a collie is a different amount of time usually minum 15 minutes to an hour max.House sitting I can be booked all day for multiple days if needed of course I might have to pop out for an hour max to deal with appointments or nearby pet Poppins.&nbsp;

Ever wondered where your dog would go if you let them lead a walk? What about if they have a hidden aptitude for solving puzzles or playing hide-and-seek? I specialise in making sure that your dog doesn't just get the exercise they need, but has a fun and enriching experience whether I'm working as a sitter or a walker. If you're on vacation, your dog deserves a vacation too! I have experience working with large breeds, high-energy working dogs, dogs with behavioural needs and medical needs, and (lots of!) cute and furry family pets. With every dog I work with you and with them to figure out what they want to do on their walks or while petsitting, and do that with them! With some dogs we find all-new walking routes and go for adventures together, and with others we stick to your neighbourhood routine and play exciting enrichment games or work on new tricks. And if it's a couch potato party of two that floats your dog's boat, bring on the Netflix and cuddles! Whatever your dog wants and needs, I will make sure they get it and have a great time.&nbsp;
I am also a keen hiker and runner, so if your dog could use a major energy burn-off midday I would love to take them for a walk or run on the beach,down Lade Braes, or around town. I'm comfortable and experienced running with larger dogs (see photos for a pair of labradors that clearly missed their calling as sled dogs!), and equally happy to adapt pace and distance to suit little legs. If a more sedate pace suits your pup, a slow and steady meander is just as fun :).&nbsp;
A quick note: I love an off-leash adventure as much as the next person, but your pup's safety is my top priority. For more independant-minded dogs (I had a Basset Hound for 10 years - I get it!:) or dogs that aren't sure about recalling to a new person, I am more than happy to provide a 40ft leash for beach time and other fun.&nbsp;
