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 Portchester 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 Portchester.

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 Portchester 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.

I love pets and animals, especially dogs! I am a young student so love being outdoors and active whenever I find time away from my studies. I am home for the summer so have lots of spare time where usually I'd be walking alone so some company would be lovely and spending time around animals is my happy place! I have a pet Labrador named Scooby, he is my bestfriend and what got me through lockdown. He loves long walks, playing in the garden and lots of cuddles and attention but is getting a bit old so doesn't have as much energy as he used to, whereas I need to get rid of all mine still! I've had one other dog and two cats in my life, I often look after a friends puppy and my Nan and grandads cat when needed. I am super keen to get to know new animals and help people in their day to day life as well as longer stays and holidays. I am a student but am staying at home for the summer in my parents house so cannot host pets, but am happy to travel to homes to look after pets and available for regular walks if required too! I offer king and short stays when available, walks, regular checks and toilet let outs and pretty much anything you may require at your house as I cannot host at mine 

Hi! My name is Ida and I live in Southampton with my partner and our cat Elrond.

I've had cats all my life, which has made me a massive cat lover and given me a lot of knowledge about how to look after them so they stay happy and healthy. Although I'm new to Pawshake, I have been a cat sitter for almost two years. Having looked after many different cats, I appreciate that every cat has its own lovely personality and individual needs. You can count on me to offer your cat lots of cuddles, but also respect their personal space!

I'm responsible, organised and reliable, and my schedule is flexible as I work from home.

It's important to me that your cat feels safe and happy. If you book me as your cat sitter, I will arrange to meet with you and your cat beforehand for free, give your cat fresh food and water daily, clean the bowls and litter trays, make lots of time for play and cuddles, and send you daily updates and photos.
I'm also happy to water the plants, collect the post and take the bins out if needed.

If there's anything else you need that I haven't mentioned, or if you have any questions, just drop me a message!


I am 21 years old, doing a degree from home and pet-sitting on the side. I have always loved animals of all kinds from a young age. This has led to me dog-sitting, cat-sitting (and even lizard-sitting!) for family and friends for approximately 5 years. I have a golden labrador who is now 12 years old, so I also have experience of living with a dog. I have looked after a number of dogs and cats, ranging from pop-in visits and walks to staying at people's houses for extended periods to keep pets company and provide them care. Cats and dogs are the animals I have the most experience with, but provided I have the right information about the care of an animal I am open to any pet. I have looked after a bearded dragon for a few nights, but this is the most exotic pet I have cared for. I also have a pet giant african land snail (an archachatina marginata ovum called Norris). I completed a dog training extracurricular course at secondary school which has provided me with a more well-rounded understanding of the care and attention dogs require. Looking after animals is a passion of mine and animals are a really important part of my life, so interacting with them and caring for them as a profession is a dream come true! I can only pet-sit at your own home due to living in shared accommodation and having a dog of my own. I cannot pet-sit if you have guinea pigs due to a serious allergy. I enjoy pet-sitting so much, and I hope to meet your lovely animals soon!


I have had pets my whole life including cats, Guinea pigs rabbits, and a dog. Recently my dog passed away leaving me with a bit of empty nest syndrome! I have been trusted since I was an early teen to walk neighbours dogs and do pop in visits. Now as an adult, I do a lot of house sitting and live in pet sitting that I’ve secured through word of mouth. I have experience pet sitting both dogs and cats - including large dogs and cats which require medication. As well as this, my dog was diabetic so I am comfortable and experienced  with administering jabs and other medications.

I currently work 33.75 hours a week from Monday to Friday. This means that four days a week I will be working 0800 - 1600 and on one day I will work 0800 - 1145. The shorter day is usually not designated until the week before however it is often flexible. I am usually around at weekends with the occasional social trip out however if I am pet sitting I will aim to adjust my availability around your pets needs.

I feel like I am a very loving and affectionate person and I love to give animals attention. I am very comfortable around all animals. I am a very active person so I am happy to go on long walks or multiple walks a day.

Hello, I'm a math teacher. I've always had a soft spot for animals; growing up, I had the pleasure of sharing my grandparent's home with a variety of furry friends. However, in 2017, my life took a turn when I came across two tiny kittens, barely two weeks old, abandoned by their mother. I couldn't leave them, so I took them home and became their mother. That meant not only feeding them but also tending to their use of the toilet, as they were too young to manage it on their own. Now, those two kittens are six years old, and I've learned a great deal about cats through this journey.

I've also had the privilege of looking after my cousin's dogs when they went on vacation. This involved maintaining a strict feeding schedule and keeping a close eye on their use of the toilet, as these indicators can often signal if something is amiss with a pet's health or behaviour.

I'm flexible with my services; I can make one or more visits throughout the day, or if preferred, I can stay overnight. When you're away, rest assured that your pets will be in safe hands, and you won't have to worry about a thing. 

I’ve always had a dog since I was a small child. Big ones, little ones, naughty ones, smart ones, pure breeds and mongrels! All were special to me in their own way and gave me much joy. After losing my most recent terrier to old age, I started to look after friends and neighbours dogs to fill the gap left by the lack of wet nose and paw prints and then decided to set up my own business ‘Woofmother’. And I have been busy ever since!
I have looked after a variety of dogs over the years, particularly nervous dogs, those with separation anxiety, behavioural issues and those who find difficulty with social interaction (whether with humans or other dogs). I have experience with senior dogs and those with health issues. I am pet first aid trained, fully insured and Enhanced DBS check certified.
I have also looked after people’s cats and small furries and I used to run a smallholding, so I’m adept at looking after most types of animals and have personally owned several dogs, a feral cat, ducks, chickens, sheep and pigs! I am an all round animal lover!
I offer pet-sitting services in your home, drop-ins and dog walking. For drop-ins, I can administer medication, feed, walk, play, empty litter trays or just provide company and cuddles. I can do day sits, evening sits or overnight sits. I can walk your dog for half an hour or an hour depending on their needs. This includes solo walking and walking in secure dog parks for particularly reactive dogs.
I cover Fareham &amp; the surrounding areas. I am available most days depending on current bookings so please get in touch to find out if I have space to fit you in!


I'm 19 years old (turning 20 in June). I have been doing dog walking/walks from when I was 11 and could go out and walk dogs :). I've walked dogs for friends and family as-well as people I've never met and even with aggressive/shy or anxious dogs I do really well to keep them calm and stay away from what triggers them. Dogs to me are like people like me and you and the energy you give off to a dog will effect the way they act or behave! I like to keep calm in situations where the dogs might not be the most comfortable E.g. meeting/seeing dogs or seeing other animals/vehicles or even people. No dog is a bad dog maybe unless they do a 1 or 2 on the carpet but overall all big dogs or small, fat or slim, anxious or confident I love all dogs :) I have had anxious dogs not be anxious and also dogs which react to certain things not because you have to keep calm and give them good energy:)
