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 Melbourn 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 Melbourn.

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 Melbourn 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 there, 


My name's Charlotte and I am probably one of the biggest animal lovers you’ll ever meet. Over the years, I’ve owned and looked after a number of furry little friends! Aside from Pawshake, I run my own dog walking and pet service business @charlottesfurrytails on Instagram if you'd like to check it out. 

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals, often ditching humans and choosing to hang out with my little furry friends. Over the years I've owned Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits and much more, so Cats &amp; Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. 
Coming from a big family of animal lovers has meant I’ve got well over 20 years of experience when it comes to playing, walking, grooming and general caring for and nurturing the needs of Cats &amp; Dogs. I’ve looked after breeds of every kind, as family and friends have entrusted me to look after their pets over the years. 
After so many years of experience, I decided to start working professionally with animals and have never looked back. Animals and wildlife are my biggest passions in life and I could not think of a better way of repaying them for the joy they have given me over the years than dedicating part of my vocation and life to them. It is truly a blessing to get to do what I love everyday. 
If you want your dogs, cats and little furry friends to be absolutely spoilt with love, nurturing and care then I am the right person for you. I will sing, cuddle and talk to them as if they're human as I know exactly what it takes to create that special bond between myself and them. Years of experiences has shown me how highly intelligent and just how much our little furry friends actually understand our spoken language.
I have lots of experience and I'm more than happy to help out whenever you may need.

(I have an up to date enhanced DBS which I can produce on request)

Given up the corporate lifestyle and now doing what I love: spending time and working with people and animals. I'm nearly 50 and always been surrounded by pets. i love both cats and dogs equally and my day is spent either walking the dog, stroking the cat or playing with them! One of the biggest and perhaps most important thing I can offer you is trust; I wouldn't let anyone near my babies who I wouldn't trust so why would you? If wanted I can send pictures and videos to give you peace of mind. all animals have their own personalities with likes and dislikes so i respect that from my heart. Happy to visit your home multiple times a day. Can do vet trips alone or with you if required. And if you're away for a while I'm happy to water your garden if it's hot!! I'll pick up some milk and bread if you want to just get home and I'll even whizz around a vacuum cleaner. our furry family enrich our lives and I guarantee they'll be well looked after. 
I have a tuxedo cat and a spaniel Also am enhanced DBS checked. Have own vehicle. Have pet sitting insurance in place&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm a full time house-and pet-sitter and part-time writer and psychotherapist. I'm fit, conscientious and vigilant, with a love of all animals, especially cats and dogs.
If you're planning on going away for three weeks or longer and you're concerned about leaving your pets and home, let me deputise for you while you're away. I've been housesitting for owners of substantial rural and village properties for four years and have more than 30 five-star reviews.
I accept house-sits of three weeks and longer. If you'd like to try me out for a shorter period, with a view to potentially engaging me for a longer sit, I'd be happy to have a chat.&nbsp;
All reviews quoted below are verbatim – if you'd like to see the originals, I'll be glad to show them to you.
* * * * * Caroline is a lovely person and an amazing house sitter. We have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Caroline looked after Millie our border terrier and our house for 2 months. Millie loved her, she is so kind and caring. During her stay we had storms and Caroline coped well with any problems. She even picked us up and cooked us a meal on our return.
* * * * *&nbsp;
Caroline was an extremely conscientious house sitter, and looked after our old family home really well. Cello, our two year old labrador looked the picture of health when we returned so obviously had been very well cared for. She regularly kept in touch regarding the house or Cello, often with photos. Caroline is an intelligent, warm, friendly person and we can highly recommend her as a house sitter.
* * * * *
Experienced, responsible and reliable
While you're away, you want to feel confident that a mature and practical person is looking after your home and keeping your beloved pets safe and well. As a property owner for 35 years myself, I understand how reassuring it is to know that the right person is there on the spot. Someone who can deal with whatever life and nature throws at them, from builders, vet visits and boiler issues, to leaks, floods and fallen trees.
* * * * * We love having Caroline to stay with our kitties, it is such a comfort going away knowing that she is looking after Sid and Archie and our house. The cats are very happy in her company and she keeps a close eye on both of them throughout her stay. Caroline was actually stuck at the house for 24 hours due to fallen trees blocking our road and she dealt with it all with great equanimity. She is a star, and we are delighted that she has become a friend to us as well as to our kitties. We would not hesitate to recommend her as a sitter.* * * * *&nbsp;
Hebe clearly adored her and our only worry was that she would sneak into her car when she left! Caroline had no problems running our house, which is not straightforward being quite old. On our return she had cooked us a delicious supper and we found the house to be in apple pie order.We would have no hesitation in recommending her as a reliable 5* sitter.
* * * * *&nbsp;&nbsp;
️ The creatures
As well as keeping your home tidy and secure, making sure your pets are safe, loved and healthy is my top priority. I've cared for many animals, furry, feathery and finned, and quickly forge a strong bond with them. Any cuddle is a good cuddle.
I prefer to look after a maximum of two well-behaved dogs and/or two cats, so that I can give each of them focused attention. I have a special affinity with mid-life and older pets and love chilling at home with them, once we've had a good play/walk/brush/cuddle. That said, I regularly fall in love with creatures of all ages, like the four-month-old mini dachshund puppy who stole my heart. I'm happy to give medication but would prefer not to be a full-time vet nurse.&nbsp;
* * * * * Our cat Rum has awarded Caroline his "cat sitter's Gold medal" - she rapidly developed an understanding with him and he was clearly very contented when we returned home. She didn't hesitate to contact us with any significant issues that arose and the house was clean and tidy, having been looked after with care in our absence.* * * * *&nbsp;
From the moment Caroline applied for our sit her calm and confident manner allayed our fears. She managed a couple of health issues that arose with our eldest cat with compassion and care and sent us regular updates on her progress. Our boys who have never been lap cats were joining the queue every night behind Poppy to get some Caroline lap time and cuddles.
* * * * *&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you're planning a trip away and would like to have a chat about how I might be able to support you, please get in touch. I tend to be booked up four to six months in advance so it's best not to leave it too late.
I wish you all the best with finding the right sitter.



Hi, I am Francesco a 28 years old Italian guy who works as a scientist and posses a great passion for all animals. I have lots of experience with dogs (any size) and cats. My family always owned big size dogs and cats since I can remember.I live with my girlfriend and we own a small size rescue dog since&nbsp;I decided to adopt only dogs/cats coming from a difficult background which are unwanted or unadoptable. I had him for two years and he is my first rescue with a very difficult background and that was due to be put asleep. He does NOT love dogs therefore he will NOT join me in this adventure. My aim is to look after one dog/cat at the time to provide him/her 100% of my attention. I would be also happy to look after multiple dogs/cats living within same household. I mainly will take your pet for a walk wherever he prefers and to do his/her favourite activity (eg. In the park chasing the ball or explore different areas), in-house visitis to ensure your pet is doing well when on it own, vet appointment, and overnight care when he/she is alone at home. Please, do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

Hello I'm Damiano, I run a professional dog walking and sitting business called Whittlesford Walks with my wife Alice. Our dog walking and sitting business was born out of bringing our first family puppy home, a miniature longhaired dachsund called Oscar.&nbsp;
It was through teaching him and learning how to walk him etc that we found our love for dogs and need to give them the best. Since opening our doors in 2020 we have grown slowly but surely giving the best care and attention to all our dogs. We are fully insured and have great knowledge of breeds and temperaments.&nbsp;
It's our goal to treat your pet as if they were being walked/looked after by you yourself. We like to give engaging and enriching Walks whilst have the utmost fun. So get in touch with us today and see what we can do for you and your pup.&nbsp;
We promise you won't regret it
