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 Reading 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 Reading.

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 Reading 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 have 4 years house and petsitting experience with young and older dogs. I have an up to date DBS as I currently work a part time careworker. I have more than 40 years as a pet owner including caring for senior dogs.&nbsp; I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. My motto: "A home is not a home without pets".&nbsp; Dogs I have owned include a Staffordshire named Queenie, who lived 12 years and then rescue Daschunds, Cheeky (13 years) and Molly, who had cancer. We also had a mixed Scotty- Staffy named Nicky who was 15 years old.&nbsp; Cats who were my boss, include Moeshie and Kitsie, a ginger cat, who loved her food and Mishy who is 12 years old.I have references from regular pet and housesits in Maidenhead, Berkshire. One regular client had 4 rescued Daschunds.&nbsp;When I do a housesit, I care for your home, garden and pets, 24/7, go on walks, play tug of war games, throw tennis ball and I have loads of love to give. I also cook special vet approved meals for dogs, for example chicken fillets, carrots and rice.

I’m a university student at the University of Reading studying for my Environmental Science undergraduate degree, with a genuine love for animals and their wellbeing.&nbsp;
Alongside my studies, I’m currently working towards my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award - nearly there! and starting this year to volunteer with Soulscape at Reading Festival, as well as being a leader with Girlguiding. These experiences have made me responsible, reliable, and confident in caring for others.I hold a recent enhanced DBS check, so you can feel assured your pet and home are in safe hands. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and in their routine, and I’d love the opportunity to provide that care while also supporting myself through my studies.&nbsp;
Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. offering persitting in your home, drop ins, and walks.


Hi, I’m Tash &nbsp;&nbsp;I’m a fully insured, DBS-checked trauma specialist with a deep love for animals and a soft spot for sensitive souls. I’ve spent several years supporting pets of all shapes and sizes—from hamsters and mice to cats and dogs. (No spiders though. Sorry. )My approach is gentle, bespoke, and rooted in understanding. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Maintaining familiar rhythms helps reduce stress and supports a sense of safety—especially for pets who thrive on consistency or need a little extra reassurance.I offer one-to-one care, meaning your pet gets my full attention during every visit. I’m trauma-aware, calm, and confident with quirky personalities, nervous temperaments, and pets who need a slower, softer touch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication—so you can relax knowing your fur-family is in safe, caring hands.I love supporting families and creating cozy, story-worthy moments for pets while you're away. If your pet needs a warm presence, a structured routine, and a sprinkle of gentle empowerment, I’d be honoured to help.Let’s make their time at home feel just as comforting as when you’re there 

I am a full time, hard working person willing to help care for any animal in need. 
I’m a veterinary assistant, before that I was at a dog kennels; providing the care for dogs and cats. I’ve got a certificate in animal management care level 2 diploma. Always loved things big and small. Tend to spend majority of my time at home with my animals making sure their needs are kept up with. I go out on daily walks with my dog three or four times a day. Very active. If not I'm at home with both dog and cat playing with them and implementing training needed. ￼
Check food and medications required with the owner ahead of time. Before taking on a dog, make sure the owner supplies you with enough food, and if they're on a special diet, get the details from the owner ahead of time or at drop-off. If the dog requires specific medication, you need to be comfortable giving this.
The daily animal caretaking routine usually involves feeding and providing drinking water for each animal, making sure that their enclosure is clean, safe, appropriately warm, and, if needed, stocked with materials to keep the animal active and engaged. I seem to have the magic touch when it comes to animals.
