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 Balerno 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 Balerno.

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 Balerno 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.

Hello, I'm Eugenia. I bring a unique blend of experience, calm and joy to pet sitting owing to my rich educational background and diverse expereince in the school of life. I have a particular passion for creativity and mindfulness. 
I've done a lots of wonderful in-home pet-sitting locally and abroad whist not being able to house my own (as per fourteen 5 star trustedhousesitters.com Reviews). I've cultivated an intuitive understanding of the animals' needs and behaviours. From the energetic romps of large breeds to the gentle companionship of smaller pets, I appreciate and cherish the individuality of each furry friend.
My journey into mindfulness and wellbeing has further enriched my pet care practices. I believe in fostering a harmonious environment where pets can feel safe, loved, and mentally stimulated. Whether it's a calming walk through nature or a cosy cuddle session at home, I prioritize their emotional and physical wellbeing. I integrate calming techniques and attentive presence into every interaction with your pets. Through mindful engagement, I aim to create moments of joy, relaxation, and connection for your beloved companions.
While I'm unable to accommodate pets at my own home, I provide dedicated pet sitting and home visit services tailored to your pets' needs. From feeding and playtime to regular walks and garden adventures, I ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve.


I moved to Edinburgh from New Zealand in 2022 and have been really missing animals as I'm not allowed a pet in my flat. I used pawshake to help save up for my move back in New Zealand for six months before I moved here. I really enjoyed meeting new people and pets and getting to form a bond with the ones I saw regularly. I'm looking to get back into it so I can pat some cute dogs on the regular.&nbsp;I grew up with cats in my home but have looked after lots of different kinds of dogs through this app. Once I get a place of my own I'd love to get a daschund one day.&nbsp;I am based in EH7, close to Easter Road and Meadowbank. I really love how many people have dogs here and how dog friendly Edinburgh is. I work full time Monday to Friday, mostly in the office near Old Town.&nbsp;When I'm not at work I like to visit all the museums and galleries around the place, or relax in front of the tv with whatever series I'm currently working through.&nbsp;I'm experienced and available for feeding and play visits, dog walking and house/pet sitting while you're away. Happy to discuss more about you and your pets specific needs and come to meet them before booking.&nbsp;

As a dedicated and compassionate individual, I have always had a deep love for animals, and being a pet sitter allows me to combine that love with my desire to provide exceptional care to furry companions.

My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my genuine understanding of the important role pets play in our lives. I believe that they are cherished family members who deserve nothing but the best care and attention. I am committed to creating a safe and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-taken care of.

When it comes to the safety of pets in my care, I prioritize their health and require that all animals staying with me be up-to-date on vaccinations. Maintaining their health is of utmost importance to me, and I take great pride in providing a clean and secure environment.

My pet sitting services include regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I am also experienced in administering medications if required, and I am attentive to any specific needs or instructions provided by pet owners.

By choosing me as your pet sitter, you can rest assured that your furry friend will receive the highest level of care and attention. I am committed to building a strong bond with every pet, ensuring their happiness and well-being in your absence.

HI! I am Andrea, an Italian student at Edinbrgh Uni.
The truth is that I do not visit home that often and I miss our dogs as I have a special and close relationship with them.
We always had dogs around, you can see our old one in the pictures, Nerone, who passed away after 12 years (the black one with the rest of my family) and our two new ones, Pimpa and Simba, two rescued siblings. We too kall of them in since they were puppies and learnt how to train them.
I am looking to spend some quality time with dogs and earing some money while finishing my studies here in Edinburgh.&nbsp;
I can offer Dog Walking and Home Visits around Gorgie area, from the duration on half an hour up to two hours, mostly on weekdays evenings and Saturday mormings. I'm m quite of an active person and if approved I can go for runs with your dog, as long as proper running lead is provided.Occasionally I can offer House Sitting as well, but only with dogs I've already spent time with!
At the moment I do not have any equipment, so lead, poop bags, balls and toys should be provided.Thank yo uso much for reading my profile, do not hesitate to contact me and I look forward to meet you and your dog!!&nbsp;


Hi, I’m Molly! I’m 30, I work from home and I’m a huge animal fan. I’ve grown up with cats, dogs and rabbits my whole life and now have three rescue kitties of my own - Bella, Pirate &amp; Eddie. I've been cat sitting privately for some time now and through another app so I have loads of experience! 
I’m confident in all cat, dog and small animal related situations whether wild and energetic or relaxed and quiet. I’m happy to come in once or twice a day to play, feed, walk, water and clean bowls with each visit. I can scoop and clean litter trays, just make sure that area is tidy and fresh! As well as all of this I'm more than happy to just hang out and keep them company - not just drop food and leave. Happy to discuss anything that your pets may need while I visit whether that be medication or just extra time with their favourite toy. Photos will definitely be sent while I visit so you can be assured your fury (or not so fury) family member is happy and well! I’m able to be very flexible with my schedule to work around your pets and their needs and please get in touch if you’re looking for something last minute :) 
Thanks for taking the time to visit my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Pet sitting will aid me in both my studies and future career, as I will be able to put all my previous experience into further practice.

I work in tech and spend most of my days working from home.I've always been a cat lover and owned cats for more than 10 years.
