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 South Woodham Ferrers 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 South Woodham Ferrers.

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 South Woodham Ferrers 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.

sleepover

I have been an animal lover my whole life. While growing up we always had a pet, either a dog or cat and sometimes both! A few years ago, I rescued a beautiful dog from Greece who I loved and cared for and who was walked 5 times a day until May 2025 when she passed. My cat that we had had for 15 years had passed in the March so I decided then that I could no longer deal with that pain of losing them so the next best thing was to look after other people's. This was something I had been doing anyway while I had my own pets for at least 10 years but now I wanted to travel around a bit and house sit too. I'd heard over the years that kennels can be very stressful for some animals so I believe that caring for the pet in their own home is a lot less stressful. Your pet will be extremely cared for while in my care and your instructions will be carried out to the letter so you can rest assured they will be safe and happy while you're away. I have successfully completed a pet first aid course and quite happy to administer any medication needed

I have loved animals since a child and grew up surrounded by animals and had several pets of my own; rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, ferrets, ducks and chickens! 

I have experience with Border Collies, Yorkshire Terriers, Scottish Highland Terriers, German Shepherds, Shih tzu, Cockapoo's, Labrador's and Cocker Spaniels. Tabby Cats and Persian Ragdolls. 

I have been working F/T as a HR / Office Manager for over 10 years. I recently came to the conclusion it is time to come off the hamster wheel and rat race and have more freedom and work life balance.

I enjoy walking around Leigh on Sea, along the Estuary and Belfairs Nature Reserve

With so many people having to return to the office since the pandemic and remote working. Pet owners are struggling to carry out the usual daily dog walks. Or fretting about having to leave their beloved pet alone for long periods of the day.

I am available to offer a helping hand and a reliable and professional service whether this would be a regular dog walk, popping in and checking on your cat or small animal, feeding your pet or administering medication. It could be you have become unwell or immobile and need some help with your pets whilst you convalesce or perhaps you are visiting relations, going on a long weekend or holiday and needing someone to check in whilst you are away. Whatever your requirements I would be happy to discuss and sure we can make arrangements to suit you. 

Whilst your pet is in my care, rest reassured they will receive the upmost care, attention and affection as though there were my own. I understand how pets can pine for their owners and will go out of my way to make them feel happy. I will keep in regular contact and keep you updated constantly. 

I would be happy to schedule in a time to meet you and your pet and discuss your requirements.

I love all animals. I have had the honour of having many pets over the years including an anxious JRT and a bossy Pom/Bichon mix who have now sadly both passed. I have also had goldfish, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils. I currently have an eclectic mix of 2 BSH cats &amp; several fancy mice.&nbsp;
I have a large fenced garden at home, I'm in a ground floor maisonette so no stairs. Pets are allowed on my furniture in a smoke free home.&nbsp;
Let me know of any special needs, behaviours, any medications, if a nap is required. Favourite place to sleep, favourite toys, treats and favourite places to walk and any tricks to practise. I have had experience with my own cats and dogs and smaller animals.
Each pet is different and you know your furry friend best so can describe their personality, if they need reassurance or if they like space I will give them whichever you would prefer.
A typical day would involve feeding and walking, water, practising tricks, playing catch, hide and seek, nap if required. Any check ins, medication and care and attention, feeding again later, water. Any cleaning out required. Any time spent with a pet is never time wasted.
Evening snuggling on a sofa.&nbsp;

I look forward to meeting you and your furry family soon!


Hello my name is Laura I offer house sitting, drop in visits, dog training and dog walking. I was volunteering at dog shelter for 4 years back in my home country Slovakia and I loved every second of it. I absolutely love animals it's my passion since I was a child and I love taking care of them I always wanted to work with animals it has been always my dream since I was little. You can rely on me that your best friend is going to be in best hands! I have a experience as a dog trainer as well. I can't have a dog at the moment so this is the way I would love to spend some more time with animals. I am very flexible with my work, so I can accommodate for your dog baby at most times. I can take them for walks or make day visits for feeding and playing or dog sit for the day. I am very responsible please feel free to message me if you have any question. I am very patient and caring and will do my best for your pet to feel comfortable.&nbsp;I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with animals as it makes me very happy! I can't wait to meet you and your pet family! Please don't hesitate to drop me a message!!! Thank you 

I trained as a Vet for 4 years in my younger years before moving to Sports Science, but my love for animals has always remained.
I’ve worked in vets, farms, college, kennels/ Catteries, pet shop, grooming parlour and many more.
I’m unable to stay at a clients home overnight, however I do offer day care at the clients own home Mon-Fri at set times. No longer then 10 hours.
I’m super flexible during the weekdays (daytime) and can also be available for some weekends.
I’m self employed so my schedule is under my terms.
Weekends are only available booked 3 weeks in advance &amp; are charged at higher rate to weekdays, £50 weekday, £65 weekend.
If you would like your dog(s) walked I charge  £15 per walk / per hour. If you have 2 dogs from the same household it will be reduced to £10 for the 2nd dog.
I visit the owners home ahead of the sitting to become familiar with the animal &amp; build trust with it within its own home. There is no fee for this provided it is less then 5 miles away.


Hi there I'm Christina the Rochford District Dog Walker
I am currently transitioning from a professional corporate career to dedicate myself fully to my passion for canine care. As a mother and a lifelong dog owner, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. I bring a high level of organisation, reliability, and professional integrity to my work, ensuring your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away.
My experience is built on years of personal ownership and caring for the pets of friends and family. I am experienced with a wide range of breeds, but I have a particular love for Jack Russell Terriers. I enjoy their spirited personalities and the unique energy they bring, and I am very comfortable managing the "terrier attitude" with patience and consistency. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I am currently studying for my Level 3 in K9 Care and Welfare (VTQ).
My Routine and Care Approach
I believe that a consistent, predictable routine is essential for a dog's well being. During a typical home visit or walk, I start with a thorough safety check of your dog’s lead and harness. We will head out to local spots for exercise and mental stimulation.
After our walk, I ensure paws are wiped, ticks are checked for, and fresh water is provided. If I am sitting at your home, I strictly follow your dog's feeding and garden schedule to keep their stress levels low.
Safety, Trust and Training
Your dog’s safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities.

Vetted and Insured: I am fully DBS checked and operate with comprehensive pet sitting insurance.
Emergency Prepared: I am VTQ K9 First Aid trained and I carry a pet specific first aid kit on all walks and have your dog's veterinary surgery details.
Specialised Care: I am very comfortable with various temperaments. For nervous dogs, I use a patient, low-pressure approach to build trust at their own pace.

I pride myself on clear, professional communication and will provide you with regular photos and updates throughout our time together so you have total peace of mind.
Walks are 30 minutes from your home but if you need longer please let me know.
Only your dog will be walked.
Pack walks are coming soon.
I know my pup loves a good hour or two!
Thank you for your support



I have always loved spending time with animals and never tire of cuddles and games with them. &nbsp;I have a two beautiful 11 year old cats - William and Harry who we adopted about 5 years ago when one of our lovely neighbours passed unexpectedly, they are absolutely my surrogate babies and can do no wrong in my eyes (despite their desire to play at all hours). To counter their general calmness I also have a very excitable, 75kg St Bernard puppy - Teddy. &nbsp;He looks exactly as he should with his name and leaves a trail of destruction, slobber and fur behind him wherever he goes… He’s my dream puppy and my biggest baby! ️
These three and my 3 year old human daughter fill my home with love, laughter and noise but mean I’m definitely not allowed to bring any more furry babies into it so I needed to branch out.&nbsp;
I’ve had many different pets through the years and so am experienced with most elements of care and I understand how precious these creatures are so will care for all of your furry family members with the same level of love and attention I would expect for my own. &nbsp;I follow instruction well and am able to use my own initiative through personal experience. Comfortable administering medication as needed, of course under your direction.&nbsp;
I know it’s important, especially with cats, to keep them in their own environment when you go away and if you are able to trust me in your home and with your babies I’ll do my best to replicate your existing routines and find a way to bond with them myself so that they can feel comfortable in my presence. &nbsp;
Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

“From playful walks to cosy companionship, Tia &amp; Paws is dedicated to keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.”
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and that passion is what drives me as a pet sitter. Working my part‑time job at Medivet has strengthened my understanding of animal care, behaviour, and overall wellbeing.
Alongside my part time role at Medivet, I run Tia &amp; Paws, where I offer dog walking, drop‑ins, pet‑sitting &amp; pet taxi services for all small animals. My motivation comes from knowing how important it is for owners to feel completely at ease when they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and experienced in both professional and home‑based pet care, I’d be delighted to help.


You could probably open a zoo with the amount of animals I've had to look after / own / care for! My childhood has always been surrounded by furry friends and even when younger my parents used to dog sit! I've got a little experience of playing and looking after ferrets and cats but my biggest knowledge is dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm available throughout the day at different times but happy to adjust to your animal's needs if there's a specific time required. If your animal is a nervous one, we can arrange a meet up so that it's not a stranger on their first meet in their home. Home visits can be adjusted, I set the times for 30 mins or an hour but if more / less is needed just let me know. Walks can also be adjusted depending on the fitness level, age and demand of your pet. I also love taking photos so the chances are you'll have a pet photoshoot included! By day to day I'm cabin crew due to my restricted flying hours I get a lot of time off and with plans to hopefully buy my own home next year with my partner, I'm looking to earn some extra money to help us get there a little bit quicker! It's vital for an animal to get their daily walks and exercise and sometimes life gets in the way of being able to get them the full attention they deserve. If you have any questions, doubts or worries, drop me a message and I'm always happy to send updated pictures and messages to reassure you that your furry child is in great hands! 


My husband and I are keen adventurers we love walking, nature and cosying up to watch a movie. We are very disciplined with pet routines and are very keen to spoil them with lots of affection once they warm up to us. I have owned numerous pets including aquatic pets  (fish/axolotl), birds(budgies), rats, and chickens since childhood. All of which have lived well past their maximum life expectancy, and have had positive reports from their vets. I have even managed to travel with my pets they settled well. We love pets and would love to own more if we could move to a bigger space (dog or cat). My husband and I would love to travel the uk more and we are open to any setup. We are currently only available during school holidays due to our work. Please get in touch, we'd love to consider your pet sitting request. We are offering house and petsitting opportunities during school holidays; we would love to travel away from our local area and are open to UK wide bookings.


Hi! I’m Martina and I am passionate about animals and caring for them.&nbsp;
Having worked in an office for over 20 years, I decided last year that it was time to pursue my own interests by working with animals, providing them with the same care and attention, as I do my own.&nbsp;
I have been brought up with animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets and fish. In addition to this, I volunteer for Cats Protection, German Shepherd Dog Rescue and Hockley FerretRescue.&nbsp;
Fully insured, first aid trained and DBS checked, I can provide continuity and excellent care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, as I am available throughout the week, weekends and for overnight stays.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I can provide solo dog walking, pet minding in your home and welfare visits. I'm happy to care for senior pets; those that require medication; or pets with special needs, behaviours or disabilities.&nbsp;
Whatever your requirements, I would be happy to meet and make arrangements to suit you. Please let me know if you have any special requests at the time of booking and during our introductory meeting, in order that I can ensure your pets are given the best service.&nbsp;&nbsp;


I’m a reliable and caring dog caregiver with a true passion for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. 
My goal is always to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
I provide attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m patient and gentle, especially with shy, anxious, or senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow specific instructions to maintain your dog’s normal routine. 
Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free environment. You can feel confident knowing your dog is in caring and trustworthy hands. 
Please let me know any health conditions or concerns you may have, and I will be happy to assist. 
I tailor walks to what your dog is comfortable with, whether that means long walks for energetic dogs or shorter, calmer walks for those who prefer them. 
I follow your dog’s normal home routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, rest, and any special habits or preferences. If there is anything specific your dog does at home, I’m happy to copy that routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. 
Look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dogs!&nbsp;
Plenty of hugs and treats if allowed. Please let me know about feeding times  to make sure your pet is well looked after .
