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 Southwick 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 Southwick.

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 Southwick 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 around dogs my entire life, caring for breeds ranging from tiny Chihuahuas and Beagles to larger, more active breeds like German Shepherds and Polish Lowland Sheepdogs. This has given me a strong understanding of how different breeds — and different personalities — have unique needs, routines and ways of communicating.
I’m patient, careful and very observant. When walking or visiting, I always adjust my pace, approach and activities to the dog I’m with. High-energy dogs get stimulating, structured walks, while more sensitive or anxious dogs get gentle reassurance and a calm environment. Safety is always my priority, from secure lead handling to keeping a close eye on surroundings.
I’m confident with shy, energetic, clingy or independent dogs, and I love building trust at their pace. You can expect regular updates, respectful communication, and genuine care. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy and understood.
I prefer walks, drop ins, and overtime &amp; daytime sittings, always tailoring the routine to each animal. High energy pups get structured, stimulating walks and play times, whilst older pups get structured slow paced care. I'm very safety aware and experienced with lead training, basic commands, and keeping dogs calm in busy areas.
I have also owned plenty of cats, and as of recently have pet sitter for my friend who had cats whilst she was on holiday. I enjoy to give cats their freedom, but be able to be there when they're ready to come out of their shell. I also have an experience with small birds, and I know how and what to feed them and how to safely interact with them.

Hello! My name is Sophie and I am a 25 year old working professional. 
I have experience living with both dogs and cats and am very much an animal lover! I have a beautiful cockapoo called Bella who is 10 and a gorgeous cat called Mochi who is 4. 
I love cuddles with animals and am an avid walker. I would love to take your doggy out for a walk or come and house sit for you (as long as I get lots of cuddles!). 
I am advanced DBS checked as work full time within the police force. I am reliable, trustworthy and understand the pressures of work life balance and how important it is for our pets to get the attention they need throughout the working week.

I would love to look after your pet when you need it, so please do reach out and we can chat more!️

He’s full of energy, gives endless cuddles, and just wants to be everyone’s best friend.

Description
I have grown up with dogs in my family and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs brings me a real sense of calm, joy, and connection, and I genuinely love spending time outdoors in all weathers. Becoming a dog walker feels like a natural fit for who I am and how I live my life.

I am a calm, patient, and grounded person, which dogs tend to respond well to. I am also physically fit and active, so I am comfortable with longer walks, energetic dogs, and different walking environments. I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

Availability:
I am usually available for morning and afternoon walks, with some flexibility depending on the day.

Services I offer:
Dog walking, drop-in home visits for feeding, companionship, and basic care. I can administer simple oral medication if required, but I do not currently offer grooming or formal training.

Home visits:
Visits typically last 30–45 minutes. I am happy to water plants and bring in post if needed.

Dog walking:
Walks usually last 30–60 minutes depending on your dog’s needs. I walk locally in parks, green spaces, woodland areas, and quiet residential routes where dogs can enjoy variety and stimulation.

House sitting:
For house sitting, I can stay for extended daytime periods or overnight where required. I always ensure doors and windows are secure, follow your home routines carefully, and keep everything safe and respectful.

I am a caring, responsible, and patient person with a genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are not “just animals” they are family members, each with their own personality, routines, and emotional needs. My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from my own experience as a very devoted cat parent. Through this, I’ve learned how important trust, consistency, and affection are for a pet’s wellbeing. I am calm, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s boundaries. I take the time to talk to them, let them approach me in their own time, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am happy to follow specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions exactly as requested by the owner.i have experience caring for cats and small pets, including feeding, cleaning litter trays, providing companionship, and monitoring their behaviour and wellbeing. I am very observant and will always notice if something feels out of the ordinary.I take pet care seriously and treat every home with respect. I am reliable, tidy, and communicative, and I understand how reassuring updates are for pet owners while they are away.For everyone’s safety, I am comfortable caring only for vaccinated pets. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, calm, and cared for while you’re away.️️️️I would like to do this job because I truly love cats and enjoy spending time with them. I like playing with them, giving them attention and affection, feeding them on time, and making sure they always have fresh water. I clean the litter tray regularly and follow each cat’s routine exactly as recommended by their owners.

I stay with the cats for as long as needed so they feel safe, calm, and comfortable. If a cat requires medication or treatment, I am able to administer it according to the owner’s instructions. My priority is to make every cat feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for, just like at home.

Hello! My name is Amy, I live in Brighton and have been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've been trusted to look after my friends and families pets, from hamsters to rabbits, goldfish, dogs, and lots of cats in-between! I have always enjoyed how rewarding it is to look after animals, they make me feel so happy and relaxed - I genuinely love it!I love being there for my clients, and their sweet animals alike. I have a wealth of experience with different dogs and cats. I often like to watch how they settle into their own environment, e.g. if they have a favourite spot, or if they like to be scratched behind the ears! I always hope they will see me like another member of the family so they are as happy and comfortable as possible whilst their owner is away.Long walks are my speciality! We will go on a full, new adventure around the neighbourhood, taking it at your dog's pace. There's lots of things to smell and explore, whilst heading towards large green spaces gives your dog the chance to get out and socialise in their own way. I love seeing their happy faces when they're comfortable doing their own thing!Please let me know if your dog/cat has any special requirements and if there are types of behaviour that I should be aware of, i.e. if dogs are more nervous around certain breeds/sizes of other dogs, or if they are more excited by human interaction, if they require a longer/shorter walk, or if there is a certain area to avoid in town.I look forward to hearing from you!Amy x
