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 Portishead 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 Portishead.

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 Portishead 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.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, I will remain calm and follow any instructions you have provided, whilst seeking relevant vet care if appropriate.&nbsp;My goal is to provide loving, attentive care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

Hello! I’m a passionate pet lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep connection with them, learning how to keep them happy and healthy. At 18, I started walking my neighbor’s dog, transforming her into a more energetic, healthier pup through regular walks and care. That experience inspired me to pursue pet care full-time. Now, I’m thrilled to offer dog walking and pet sitting services at your home, tailored to your pet’s unique needs.  I’m active, happy, trustworthy, and dedicated to making every moment special—whether it’s long walks, playful fetch, or cozy cat cuddles. I’m pursuing a pet care certification to enhance my skills and provide top-notch service. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, ensuring peace of mind. Let me bring joy and comfort to your pet’s day!

Hi! I’m currently living in Chepstow with my partner and our cat. I have two dogs at my family home, and I grew up with four dogs and eight cats, so I am prepared for pretty much anything and any behaviour! I would love to help you and the furry (or feathery, or even scaly!) members of your family, whether that’s playing, walking or just spending quality time with them!&nbsp;
I am happy to look after your pets both indoors and outdoors, including walks/runs, feeding and general entertainment. I can do up to two walks a day.
In addition, during home visits, I can feed, walk and let pets outside for fresh air. I would stay for as long as needed to ensure pets are not left alone for too long.
Of course, regular updates can be provided if you wish, as I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals for longer periods. 
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or enquiries!

My love for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since my teenage years, I’ve been lucky enough to care for a whole menagerie of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots, and even chickens!I have a calm, loving, and confident presence, shaped by many years of working with children and people with disabilities. Animals—especially cats and dogs—seem to sense this and quickly feel safe, relaxed, and at ease around me.I’ve cared for animals of all ages, including those who were ill, anxious, or had experienced trauma, and I’ve always found these experiences deeply rewarding, gentle, and even joyful.With a nursing degree, I’m comfortable administering medication, providing basic wound care (following veterinary guidance), and preparing food for pets with special dietary needs.I also bring over 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable people, often in their own homes, so I naturally treat other people’s spaces with great care and respect. For the past 15 years, I’ve also been caring for animals in a semi-professional, word-of-mouth capacity.I also enjoy sharing lovely daily photo and video updates on request, so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
Every pet is unique, so everything I offer is shaped around their individual needs and daily routine. Plenty of TLC, walks, playtime, chill-out moments, and calm, reassuring time are always on the menu I always take the time to get to know my new animal friend — their likes and dislikes, diet, habits, and what helps them feel happy and safe. Our time together is 100% tailored to them. For some pets, that might mean lots of playful, active connection; for others, it’s all about a quiet, loving presence and gentle care. And often, it’s a mix of everything in between.This is my first time on Pawshake and I’m really looking forward to meeting you—and your furry (and feathered!) family 


Hi my name is marina I have been pet sitting for several years and love looking after animals and there needs .I first started out by looking after three whippets,as my main business is house cleaning but my client needed someone to look after her dogs so I jumped at the chance and I loved it ,taking them on long walks and also I had to gave meds to one of them so have experience in all different aspects of pet sitting . For example one&nbsp; of the dogs cut there leg and I knew&nbsp; my client had some antiseptic&nbsp; spray so i administered the spray on leg. My preference is to come to your house and look after your pets as I have cat myself and couldn't have any animals at my house.i have sat for&nbsp; a couple of people&nbsp; now ,I can get refences if needed im a honest reliable ,caring&nbsp; person ,and&nbsp; i have relevant insurances&nbsp; so im looking forward to hearing from anyone who requires my services im happy to meet up and discuss any questions you have before .my services are looking after your pets in your home .I bring all my food, bedding to stay!I will care for pets to my very best&nbsp;

Hello!I live in Brislington with my fiancé and two cats, Gus and Ethel. I work in Bath part time as a Resident Manager looking after 100 apartments. My hobbies are horse riding, spending time with friends and reading fantasy.&nbsp;I absolutely adore animal and have grown up with cats and dogs as well as horses (I still own a horse). As I have gone down to part time hours I thought what a good way to fill up my time spending it looking after animals!&nbsp;I am able to do cat sit visits which would include feeding, cleaning litter trays and some play!&nbsp; I can also do odd jobs around the house like picking up post, watering plants and even putting out the bins for bin day!&nbsp;I will always send photos after my visits so you have clear communication that they have been completed. Hope to hear from you soon
