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 Gillingham 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 Gillingham.

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 Gillingham 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.

My name is Jessica-Summer and I run an all-species, mobile petsitting service that specialises in nervous and reactive pets. One of my main unique features is I offer 24-hour care within a client's home, for pets with special requirements and medical needs.
I am based in North Kent but am a very mobile petsitter; I travel all around Kent. and for petsitting stays over 3 days, I travel throughout the U.K. For petsitting stays over 5 days I will travel anywhere that is within 4-5 hours' flight of the U.K.&nbsp;
I am a professional animal care practitioner with over 10 years experience working in the animal care industry. my first experience was at age 15 and I am now 26 years old. I hold 11 animal care related qualifications, including a degree in animal behaviour and welfare from the University of Edinburgh; petsitting competency certificate, and animal psychology.
I am insured for all my animal activities, including grooming client's pets, and am also enhanced DBS checked and animal first aid trained and qualified. I have been a professional freelance petsitter for 5 years this September and will be registering as a sole trader in January of 2024.
Animals I have worked with so far in my career include all domestic pet species, 90% of all livestock and farmland species, a good chunk of exotic species, and a small percentage of wildlife species.
I am English speaking but can also have basic conversations in Spanish and Turkish. Animals are my life and reason for being- I've known this since I was very young. 
My favourite species are terrestrial invertebrates (insect species, arachnids and gastropods) I also have a huge fascination with certain marine invertebrates, (cnidaria, mollusca, echinoderma, porifera and anthozoa) as well as a healthy adoration for cephalopoda and chiroptera.&nbsp;
My hobbies include intricate colouring, cooking, mixology and photography. I love to travel and experience new and exciting things and I absolutely love and admire different cultures and foods. I just adore being immersed in another country that isn't my own. I love ruins and history. I love language and being able to converse with different people.
&nbsp;I am a naturally social person who loves to meet and speak to new clients, and getting to know them and hearing about their pets etc..
The only animals I do not extend my services to are the 4 dog breeds named on the Dangerous Dogs List (Pitbull, Fila Braziliero, Dogo Argentina and Japanese Tosa) and a very small number due to personal preference (Bully Kutta, Cane Corso and any dog that has been altered for fighting purposes, i.e docked tails, shortened ears, sharpened teeth and nails and under the influence of steroids/bute)
I am experienced in dealing with: anxious and reactive, aggressive and territorial, special needs and rescue, post-abuse and end-of-life pets. As well as animals at any life stage (juvenile, adolescent, adult, pregnant and lactating and geriatric) and those that are disabled in any capacity (dementia, blind, deaf, brachycephalic, hydrocephalic, arthritic and other such muscle and bone issues, epileptic, Down's syndrome, diabetic, asthmatic etc...) or require special adjustment (such as those with dietary needs and specific diets, intolerances and allergies, and those with sensitive skin and/or skin or coat conditions such as sebhorraic dermatitis, alopecia, immune mediated skin disorders and hereditary skin/coat conditions, pyoderma and stress related hair loss/over grooming. I am also trained to care for pets with Psychological ailments, such as depression, PTSD, zoochosis, barrier aggression, abandonment fears/velcro syndrome, and a range of other conditions as well.


I have experience regularly walking and dog sitting for family and friends. I love all animals and am excited to take care of your pup️ I am very reliable and have experience with many different breeds and have always grown up around multiple animals at a time. 
I am 27 years old and work as an administrator for a construction company. My office is based in Orpington and I live in east tilbury, Essex. I am also very familiar with many of the surrounding towns as I have grown up and moved around a lot within these areas, both Kent and Essex.
I am very happy to walk, feed and play with your dog. I work a 9-5 so I'm very flexible before and after work. I can even check on and walk them on lunch breaks! I have a car so can also drive your dog to parks they are most comfortable in. I understand that not all animals get along with one another so am fully understanding if your dog prefers to be walked alone, just let me know of course!
There are a lot of parks in my neighbourhood, the closest being a 2 minute walk from my house! The walkways near my house are also very pet friendly and I regularly bump into other dog walkers on my walks. Overall, I live in a very friendly environment and look forward to walking your pet whether that be in my own area or getting to know the best places to walk near you️
I have a lot of experience staying at friends and family's houses while they are away to care for their pets. I have also been recommended to look after friends of friend's pets which is what sparked my interest and motivated me to create my profile and become a pet sitter. I know there are probably a lot of people needing these services and I love all animals and know they are a massive part of many people's lives so am really looking forward to caring for the lovely doggies I am yet to meet. 
My services include- dog sitting in your home, walking, feeding and playing with your dog. I'm happy to pick your dog up in my car for their walks and drop them back home. I can also stay in your home to care for your dog while you are away. 
I am very eager to help out so please do not hesitate to pop me a message with any questions and to know my availability🤍
