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 Thurcaston 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 Thurcaston.

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 Thurcaston 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.

Hi my name is Roisin and I am currently studying at university. I am looking for part time dog and cat care jobs! I have been looking after pets for as-long as I can remeber now, I have my own Labordoodle at home who is now 15 she is called angel and have had two dogs before her who were a beagle and a basset hound named Bella and Poppy. I have also had 4 hamsters and 2 cats! My current dog at the moment takes daily Medication and eye drops so I have practise in administering these, she also needs help going to the toilet and often does regularly throughout the day so I have familiarity in this area with older dogs. In addition I look after my sister's Sausage dog who is only 1 and love playing with him and being active to accommodate his energy levels. Also a plus is that I have practise looking after my brothers dog who is 7 and has multiple allergies and also suffers from anxiety which has been good to learn about different reactions dogs may have to certain circumstances and how to be aware and react in a positive way. Being at University I miss looking after my Dog and would be able to take Fantastic care of yours, I am open to dog walking/ dog sitting. I have a pretty flexible schedule so hopefully will be able to accommodate any of your needs.I also will happily accommodate any age range of pets and can cater to their needs depending on a walk schedule or wether they are more relaxed and like a chilled environment. I am also open to more than one dog as I often balance lots when I look after family pets. I am a super friendly and active person. I also absolutely love animals!

I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, ever since I was a child. I grew up in a home where pets were part of the family, and I was fortunate to have a miniature poodle who became my best friend from 2008 until he sadly passed away in 2020. He taught me the joy, companionship, and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet.Over the past two years while living in Loughborough, I’ve had hands-on experience pet sitting and walking two lovely chihuahuas. I also regularly walked a friendly Bulldog, which helped me build even more confidence in handling different dog personalities and needs.I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and am more than happy to offer dog walking or pet sitting services at the owner’s home. At the moment, I’m not able to take pets into my own home, but I’m committed to providing attentive and loving care wherever I’m needed.

Hi I'm Jen and I would love to help care for your babies when you just want some time to yourselves. I love cats (especially the snuggly one's) and I do refer to myself as Auntie Jen to all my friends animals.&nbsp;
I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your babies will be looked after when you want to go on holiday or even those times when something unexpected happens.
I used to have 2 babies of my own called Tic &amp; Tac. They were very well cared for but unfortunately my work changed and I had to rehome them. This took me 9 months! I had to make sure that they were being adopted by someone who was going to love them like me. It was genuinely the hardest decision I've ever had to make. But it was to ensure that they got more time and snuggles.&nbsp;
I am happy to offer short visits to over night stays. I will take care of your babies like they are my own and they will have nothing but love from me.
I am willing to travel a short while too. If you feel I may be too far away from you and want overnight stays, please drop me a message and I can let you know if you're too far way or not.
I am only wanting to look after cats.


As a devoted cat parent to my own playful kitten, Robin, caring for felines isn't just something I do but it's something I genuinely love. My journey into cat sitting began organically through my deep connection with these magnificent companions and their unique personalities. Each cat has their own distinctive character, preferences, and quirks, for example my little guy cannot stay still. Nonetheless I find tremendous joy in building trust with these independent yet affectionate animals.
My motivation for cat sitting stems from understanding the anxiety pet parents feel when leaving their furry family members behind. Having experienced this concern firsthand, I'm committed to providing the kind of attentive care that allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I believe cats thrive best in environments where they feel secure and loved, and I strive to create that atmosphere whether in your home or mine.
With practical experience managing everything from medication schedules to litter box preferences, I'm comfortable handling the full spectrum of cat care needs. My own kitten has taught me patience, observation skills, and how to interpret those subtle feline communications that aren't always obvious to the casual observer.
I'm happy to welcome unvaccinated cats into my home, as I understand that every pet owner makes different healthcare choices for their companions. My space is cat-friendly with plenty of sunny windowsills, cozy hiding spots, and interactive toys to keep your feline friend stimulated and content during their stay.
My goal is to not only care for your cat whilst you're absent but to also build a relationship with them so that each visit is even more pleasant than the last

Hey! I'm Nayesh, 27 years young from Leicester. I'm not gonna make a song and dance and bore you but the main thing is that I love animals of all sizes ️ from cuddles to zoomies or even just keeping them company. As a Cat dad of two beautiful young domestic short hair male cats, Jasper and Ruben, I'd say my 'speciality' is around cats! However I do love did just as much!️ My prices are pretty much baseline what the app recommends or if not a few pounds cheaper than the recommended, If you have any issues with costs I'd be more than happy to sort something else out  At the end of the day I'm hear to provide a service for your loved pets. So feel free to ask any questions, point out any issues and give any feedback so I can give the best that I can. Thank you!

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;

Experienced dog sitter including home boarding and dog walking. I have two dogs myself which need regular walking! I have experience in dog care, I have looked after at least 8 dogs including walking and home boarding. My dogs are very friendly and accepting of all types of dogs. I am happy to walk, home board and also home visit! This is something I am very passionate about and would like to make it full time. I love all animals and offer so much love and attention that your dogs will know me as a friend and enjoy my company as I also enjoy theirs. I have my own transportation. I have extensive references that are all positive. Let me be the one to care for your pets as if there my own.

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.

Hi! 
My name is Scarlett and i've always loved animals. I have a Cat of my own called Cody, we share a special bond since we homed him 12 years ago. I've always had a connection to animals as I am a very spiritual individual. I feel animals relax around me and we can form a deeper bond. I have also looked after and sifted for friends and family in the past.
with my relaxing nature&amp; kindred spirit, my goal would to ensure your animal feels safe and comfortable around my energy. I love the nature and being outside, so if you have a dog full of energy, expect him to be sleepy once you get him back!
I am happy to look after your animal in your home and my home. Please bear in mind, I can only do day times for my home!
I am available to do doggy day care (at your home) dog walking, home visits and house sitting. It's the same with cats of course. 
I have never mediated anybody else's pet, but I am happy to. I can only board one dog at a time, but cats I am happy with up to 3.
My dog walks are up to 3 hours, as I love to walk! My availability is Monday- Friday day times from my house, but evenings other homes if needed! 
I work from home, but I would not work at the same time as looking after your pet (of course, they need all the attention!) 
please keep in mind I have one pet in my home, a cat, so if your dog doesn't get along with them i'm happy to come to you!
my family are out in the day times, so it would only be me at my home. my gates are safe and secured and fully fenced, so no escape is possible! 
if you have any further questions please do ask! 
- Scarlett :)
