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 Tewkesbury 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 Tewkesbury.

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 Tewkesbury 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

Having grown up with cats I became very fond of them at a young age, there little individual personalities, playfulness and ability to talk to you in there own ways. My current cat is half siamese, she is beautiful, now coming up 14 but she still acts like a kitten! She loves routine, every night at 7.30 on the dot she appears for her daily massage, it gives me time with her and she loves it too!&nbsp;
I regularly look after a cat in my village called Beau, she will sit at the window and wait for my to appear, she and I are good friends, she doesn't like to be picked up very much but loves a groom and purrs away!&nbsp;
I have semi retired now and have more time on my hands, I would like to look after more cats, doing what I enjoy and giving fuss to my feline friends.
I can feed and fuss once or twice a day, just send me a message!

Hi there, my name is Valerye and I'm a huge animal lover. I’ve recently relocated to the UK to train as a doctor in the NHS. I’m a proud owner of a sassy tortie named Charlie, who is currently back home with my family. I miss my cat very dearly and would love to channel all this love I have for other precious furry ones (and hairless ones too!) around me.&nbsp;
I’ve been actively petsitting across the UK for the last 2 years - cats and dogs alike. I really enjoy spending time with animals so it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience.
I work full time as a doctor and have varying shift patterns, as such I can be available even during weekdays if those are my off days. I am amenable to tailor a schedule that best fits all of us, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Some services I'd provide as your petsitter would include:
- Arrange a free Meet &amp; Greet to get to know you and your pet
- Provide fresh food and water for your pet daily
- Clean and groom your pet for free
- Administer medication (orally and via injections) if needed
- Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles
- Send daily photos, videos and updates
- Basic housekeeping to keep your home tidy while you’re away
I recognise that every pet is unique and will have their own wonderful quirks and personality. As such, I am incredibly flexible and will always work to accommodate what your pet will need for the day. If it’s time for excitement and new discoveries, nothing I love more than a long walk and a good run in the park. If it’s time for a rainy day snooze, a cozy cuddle and a good audiobook is always welcomed.
Any information about your pet prior to booking would be helpful, including but not limited to:
- Any dietary restrictions
- How they cope with the presence of other animals and/or people
- Sleeping arrangements&nbsp;
- Likes vs dislikes
- Any behaviours to encourage and/or discourage
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m Jess, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog &amp; cat lover ever since I can remember, I have worked in rescue for 4 years and volunteered for many more. I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals and I have now turned that passion into a profession that brings me so much joy. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and that’s exactly what I strive to offer: dependable, loving care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.
Whether it’s a daily walk to burn off energy, pet sitting while you’re away, or just some extra cuddles and company during the day, I’m here to help. I believe pets deserve the same love and attention they get from you.&nbsp;
When your pet is with me, they’re not just another client—they’re family.
I only cover Gloucester&nbsp;


Hello! My names Fran and I'm a Registered veterinary nurse. I've been in the industry for 8 years. I currently work night shifts meaning I have lots of time in the day to look after your pets!!
Services: Dog walking for up to 1 hour one to one in a near by area to you. On/off lead depending on your pet. 
House visits: The visits include feeding, taking out to the toilet, playtime session and medications given if required. I am happy to inject for diabetic dogs/tablet etc.I am able to offer cat sitting daily. This would include one or two visits depending on your preference, medications can be given, happy to inject diabetic cats/tablet etc. And as much fuss as they require!
I have no limit to the temperament of your pet, as long as I am fully informed prior to the visit, and I am happy to sit all breeds, sizes etc.
I do not allow any pets at my house due to space restrictions. When I pet sit it will be me alone. I am based in Bishops Cleeve and cover the surrounding areas .I look forward to meeting all of your lovely pets!

I have grown up with dogs in the family home and love to be around dogs but my current hybrid work schedule means I can't dedicate the time to owning a dog of my own at the moment. 
I work remotely three days per week, and walk regularly, so would be really happy to keep your dog company and get them out for some good walks and chances to explore the local parks.
In the week I live alone in a quiet cul-de-sac, with plenty of local parks within easy walking distance. Having grown up with Collies, Labradors and Bouviers in the family I am confident with bigger dogs, as well as being happy looking after smaller dogs.
Whether you need someone to keep an anxious dog company during the day, to look after your dog while you spend some time away, or just someone to pop in and walk them, I would absolutely love to meet your dog (and you too I guess), and enjoy time with a dog to keep me company in a period in my life where I can't have a dog of my own.

How we work
We are experienced in looking after high end houses that are the owner’s pride and joy and pets that are highly treasured furry family members . We are both non smokers, have Enhanced DBS checks that are updated annually and excellent 5 star references from house sits that we have completed over the last 6 years. We will happily provide this information for you.&nbsp;
Our aim is for your dogs and cats to have a fun and happy time and to be well cared for until you, their parents, return. We obviously can’t be you (their preferred carer) but we can keep their routines, mealtimes, exercise and playtime as normal as possible. We love to spend time with pets outside walking, running around or inside snuggled up in the lounge together.&nbsp;
With 6 years of housesitting experience we are very used to looking after precious furry companions and the beautiful homes they live in, as if they were our own. We are very familiar with using and looking after AGAS (and know that spillages are not desirable on the top or inside the AGA, so we are very careful). We are comfortable using and looking after wood burning stoves too, something we are often asked.&nbsp;
We are early risers so that first trip out into the garden will happen between 6.30am and 8am. We like to walk outside in the garden with pets several times a day so that they have some company, if they want it, and at the same time we get some fresh air whatever the weather, though all sitting out in the sunshine for an early morning coffee is wonderful on sunny days, for all concerned!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Making ourselves and our fur friends scarce so cleaning teams can do their work each week has been part of Housesitting for us. As is being available for gardeners, swimming pool maintenance operatives and other outside contractors that might need access or information. We are used to checking many exits before leaving the premises, and at night, and are diligent about using house alarms as instructed. We are detail people so love a good set of instructions from you and will follow those instructions to the best of ourability.&nbsp;
We are clean and tidy people, always use coasters and table mats and wear slippers in the house. We will always try hard to follow your instructions as to where your pets are allowed to go and not go and what they are allowed to sit or climb on and what they are allowed to eat. We pride ourselves in properties being as clean and tidy when their owners return home as when they left. We offer to strip the bed and wash our bedding and towels before leaving so you do not have extra work to do on your return, if you would like us to.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are used to looking after dogs that are trained to bark in order to guard their estate audibly and try our very best to keep them away from delivery couriers and others contractors coming to their home. We have become skilled at sensitively trying to avoid other people and dogs when we are out and about when that is a requirement. We also look after very socialised dogs and will endeavour to follow your instructions carefully about how they should interact with people, children and other dogs whilst out.
Many of the properties where we work have large grounds or several acres for us all to walk round several times a day. However, we are aware of the importance of sniffing the scent that other dogs leave behind so we try and prioritise going for walks offsite. 
Our aim is for both of us to be with the pets in our care for as much of the time as possible. If we ever both need to go out we will let you know when we leave and when we return. Going out without the pets is always kept to a minimum during out house sits.&nbsp;
We like to meet you and your pets either personally or on Zoom so we can all establish if we are a good fit to work together before making a booking (although we are happy to pencil in a date prior to themeeting).&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Communication and Daily Updates 
We are good at responding quickly to any communication from our clients before, during and after our House sits. If we are unsure of, or concerned about anything regarding the care of your pets, your home or thecontents we will ask immediately.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Over the years our clients have loved getting photo updates (and occasional short videos) via WhatsApp so they can see that their furry family members are well and having fun. I do always say ‘if you want less photosperhaps once a day do let me know’, no one has requested this yet but that would be fine too.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If Things Go Wrong 
Sometimes unexpected things go wrong. We have had to deal with several difficult situations over the years and immediately called the homeowner for them to instruct us as to what they would like us to do. The main electrical gates to an estate broke down in the closed position and we managed to safely override the mechanism so that we could open them manually. On another occasion a bird flew into an antique glass window and smashed the pane which we boarded up then liased with the Glazier regarding successful replacement of the glass. Also at another housesit a catch on an old external door failed which meant the door could not be opened. We managed to fix it avoiding the need to call out an emergency locksmith. Another example was when a very old alarm sensor failed and we managed to liase directly with the alarm company to disable it whilst on the phone using the alarm panel (this meant the rest of the house could remain securely alarmed until that sensor was replaced). Lastly a boiler started leaking 2 weeks before it was due to be replaced. We liased with the heating engineer then managed to control the water leakage using large old towels to protect the limestone floor. On our next visit we enjoyed the brand new boiler! 
&nbsp;
Our Background 
We married in 1993 and have lived in a period cottage in Cheltenham for 17 years. Justin is now semi-retired having been a Managing Director of several international businesses. He is now an online Coach and Mentor and an Exam Invigilator at a local Grammar School. Rachel originally trained and worked as a Registered General Nurse in London and has had several part time jobs over the years whilst bringing up our 2 sons, including setting up her own Aerobics classes in a local Sports Hall, as a Mystery Shopper and running a Promotional Merchandise Company. She began retraining in 2017 to be a Counsellor /Therapist and is now a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. . Rachel works as a part time Zoom Counsellor working from home but has lots of breaks between clients for walks and cuddles (with your pets, not Justin!)&nbsp;
We started housesitting through a site in 2018 and have thoroughly enjoyed looking after pets and homes all over the UK and Europe (our profile photo was taken in Porto when looking after Ollie the cat who we have looked after over the last 6 years in London and Porto). We are proud to have been invited back to housesit for every housesitting job we have undertaken.&nbsp;
Soon after commencing Housesitting we realised we loved spending all of our time with the pets in our care and were going out alone very little which is why we decided to start our own Premium House and Petcare business and dedicate our time to being with the pets in our care.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Throughout our lives we have had our own dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, giant African Land Snails, stick insects, rabbits and guinea pigs. Since House Sitting we have mainly chosen to look after dogs and cats (althoughseveral properties have had outside fishponds stocked with lots of fish too). We love Housesitting and returning time and time again to a wonderful welcome from the beautiful pets we look after.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hobbies 
Whilst Housesitting we enjoy being able to relax in the evenings with our furry friends and love to be all together watching Netflix, Prime or Discovery (don't worry we have our own accounts so won’t upset your algorithms! ). We enjoy cooking and maybe having a glass of wine in the evenings too. (We have discuovered that dauphinoise potates cooked in the AGA are so amazing). We are very happy to have pets on our laps if they want a cuddle but won’t force that if they would rather be somewhere else nearby.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When we are not Housesitting we often go away in our Motorhome and have visited many places in the UK and Europe over the years. We enjoy concerts of all kinds especially Jazz, 80s Pop and Classical. Goingto the theatre to see plays, musicals or comedy and going out for meals are all things we like to do between jobs. We also like to visit Art Galleries, Museums, Stately Homes and Palaces. However our favourite pastime is to meet up with our sons in London or Cheltenham and be together as a family. When we are all at home we love attending the Cheltenham Festivals, going to the Races and all that Cheltenham has to offer.&nbsp;
Why Do We Want To Housesit?
We love animals but we are unable to have our own pets due to our hobbies and the amount of time we are away from home in places that any pets would be unable to join us. This leaves a fur shaped hole in our lives and so we have lots of love and attention to give to the fur friends that we look after. Whilst housesitting we have lots of time to play, cuddle, talk to and run around with the pets in our care. In short we love it and the time we invest means that they love it too. All the clients we have worked with have said words to the effect of ' we can see in the photos how much fun they are having and how happy they look and when we get home they seemed so happy and relaxed like they have had a holiday too!'

&nbsp;

**I work during the week, so services are only available early mornings (Before 8am), evenings (anytime after 5pm), and weekends.**I have always been interested in all animals and will always be the person who will cross the road to stroke a cat or stop to say hello to every dog.&nbsp;
I currently have no dogs myself, but have always looked after dogs from friends and family. Over the past few years, I have gained lots of experience with a variety of dogs and their different temperaments through being a member of a pet borrowing site. With this I would meet the owner and learn the individual dogs needs and behaviors then help out the owner by taking them for a day, just for a walk, or for a week or weekend.&nbsp;
I have experience with energetic dogs that require lots of stimulation and activity, where I enjoy exploring new places with long walks or runs. I also have lots of experience with elderly or calm dogs that would rather have short walks and lots of naps. In addition, I have had a few dogs where they require more care with behavioral differences, this means that I adapt the way we walk or make sure they are not in situations that may distress them.&nbsp;
I also have over 10 years of experience with a range of small animals.
I am always friendly and approachable and will do everything to ensure your pets have the best care and are in safe hands.&nbsp;
I have recently moved to the area and unfortunately at the moment have not got the available space to house pets.&nbsp;
