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 Ruddington 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 Ruddington.

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 Ruddington 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’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been around a wide variety of pets over the years, so I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality. At home I currently have a pug, a Persian cat and three rabbits, so I’m used to everything from energetic dogs to more relaxed, independent pets.
I’ve recently been travelling for the past six months, and one of the things I’ve missed most is being around animals. Now that I’m back, I’d love to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy, while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are being properly cared for.
I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own. For dogs, I’m happy to do 30–60 minute walks depending on their needs, as well as feeding, playtime and keeping them company. For pets at home, I’ll stick closely to their usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible.
I’m confident looking after multiple pets at once and adjusting to different behaviours, whether that’s a more energetic dog or a quieter, more nervous pet that just needs patience and consistency.
I’ll also send regular updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel reassured everything is going smoothly. I’m happy to care for vaccinated pets and will always prioritise their safety, wellbeing, and happiness. I’m currently available from 25th May to 10th June and can be flexible during this time. I’m also happy to follow specific care instructions, including medication or special diets, and I’ll always stay calm and responsive if anything unexpected comes up.

I have always felt a deep connection to animals. Since I was young, the only job I could see myself doing was caring for animals, I worked on an alpaca farm when I was 15 and I went to an animal care specific college. I've grown up with cats and dogs and I have always made sure they have the best care I knew how to provide. I am a very responsible pet owner and I have previously cared for family members dogs/cats while they've been on holiday for weeks at a time, for instance, my dads friend works abroad a lot and he needed to go out of the country for two weeks, I stayed with his dog Millie who was about 4 months at the time, she was in the middle of being trained and in the time he was away Millie was able to sit, wait, jump, roll over, and had brilliant recall off the lead. I wouldn't say I'm absolutely confident in training dogs but I can definitely re enforce commands. I've also looked after family friends cats, inside and outside. 
I am autistic and as a child my most meaningful bonds were with my pets as I didn't feel on edge about what they would think of me. I think this has really shaped me as a person and has helped my passion in animal care bloom. My happiest memories from childhood include animals, taking my dog to the lake district for hours and hours of walks, snitching on my sister for sneaking the dog into her room because I was jealous, having no room in my bed because I insisted on having all of the cats in my bed with me, and the many many cuddles on the sofa before bed with the cats and dogs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have three family cats, Betty, Tinker, and Belle alongside a boarder collie named Dodger. Myself and my partner now also have two kittens of our own, Oswald and Juno, we also are big reptile and insect lovers and we have a bearded dragon, a blue tongue skink, and a rainbow stag beetle, and we've previously had jumping spiders, mantises, tarantulas, and giant african land snails.
I am more than happy to look after any pets around leicestershire, including exotic animals. I'm able to bath and brush dogs and cats. I do dog walking, I don't have any professional past experience in this however I grew up with dogs, walk my friends dogs, and my partner and his family have 7 dogs which I do walk too. I'm comfortable walking dogs on or off lead, I work to adapt to each dog's specific needs.&nbsp;
My number one priority will always be the animals welfare, that they are happy and all their needs are met. Even if your pets care is complicated, as long as you give me instructions on what they need, you can rest assured that your little friend is content and well cared for. 
I offer visits to your house to make sure everything is okay and that your pet has everything they need, my routine for this will obviously depend on your personal instructions and I will be absolutely sure to cover everything from cleaning food and water bowls filling them back up to picking up any mess they may have created. I'm also happy to bring inside any post if needed.&nbsp;
Despite my lack of specific qualifications, I am more than competent in animal care and I plan to gain relevant qualifications as time goes on.&nbsp;

I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have over 8 years of hands-on experience looking after both dogs and cats, including owning four dogs and four cats myself. This has given me a really good understanding of different personalities, routines, and needs – from energetic, playful pets to those who are more independent or a little shy.

My motivation for being a pet sitter comes from wanting owners to feel completely at ease when they’re away, knowing their pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I understand how important routine, consistency, and trust are for animals, and I always take the time to follow owners’ instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication.

I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I’m happy to adapt my care to suit each individual pet. I’m confident with drop-ins, walks, feeding, litter trays, and providing companionship and reassurance. If pets are staying in my home, I only accept vaccinated pets to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone. I always prioritise safety, comfort, and clear communication, and I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away.
