If you need someone to look after your pet while you’re at work, away for the weekend or on holiday, Bark can help you find trusted pet sitters across the UK. Let us know what kind of care your pet needs and your postcode, and we’ll connect you with local sitters so you can review profiles and choose someone who fits your requirements.
Pet sitters can offer a range of care services depending on your pet and your needs, including:
Sitters help your pets stay comfortable and happy in their own home while you’re away.
You may want pet sitting support if you are:
Pet sitters are a great alternative to kennels or catteries when your pet is happier at home.
When comparing pet sitters in the UK, consider experience with the type of animal you have and how comfortable your pet seems with their presence. Look at reviews from other owners, ask about what care tasks are included and clarify feeding, walking or medication requirements.
Bark lets you explore several local sitters so you can find someone you trust.
According to Bark's research, pet sitting fees vary with the level of care needed and the number of daily visits. A single daily visit often ranges from around £10 to £20, while sitters who visit twice a day may charge £15 to £30. Overnight care or longer stays can cost £40 to £80+ per night depending on experience and duties.
Many professional pet sitters carry public liability insurance to cover accidents or damage during their visits. It's worth confirming insurance details when comparing sitters, especially if you have valuable items in your home or a pet with specific behavioural needs.
For routine care or flexible dates, a few days to a week is often enough. During school holidays, Christmas or peak travel periods, booking 2 to 4 weeks ahead gives you better choice and availability.

Are you looking for a professional pet sitter? Someone with experience who is always reliable? Then look no further than Jack The Pet Sitter. Pets have always been his passion. Whether you have cats, dogs or any other domestic animal, you can rest assured that your pet is in the best hands with Jack.
Working as a pet sitter means I get to spend all my time working with my favourite animals. Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, snakes, lizards, even tarantulas, I love them all! I also know how difficult it can be as a pet owner to enjoy things such as holidays or getting away for the weekend, so being able to give that option to people is very satisfying.
I am proficient in caring for many different species, most commonly dogs and cats, but also reptiles. When it comes to dog sitting, I have extensive experience in caring for various different breeds – from Labradors and German Shepherds to Boston terriers and chihuahuas. Whether you would prefer me to perform daily house visits for you or if you want to leave your pet with me, I’m set up to cater to your needs.
I have a great number of repeat clients who use my services regularly and (hopefully) that speaks for itself. I offer a diverse level of flexibility in what I can provide. Whether you need someone to look after a puppy for a few hours or care for your cat for a two-week period, I can do it. It’s also incredibly helpful to have a sitter looking after your animal during times such as moving house – one less thing to worry about! I am experienced in looking after more specialised pets such as snakes and turtles which can require bespoke care. My workspace is set up with the care of different animals in mind, so you can rest assured in the quality of their care, particularly if your pets are staying with me.

Durdica was prompt in replying & a joy to talk with on the phone - incredibly knowledgeable, clear & concise, kind, respectful and honest - she was wonderful in our first at home session and helped our puppy but mostly helped us as new dog owners! She was great at teaching through demonstration and being adaptive to the dog as it presents. Definitely recommend and will be keen to book for future sessions when our puppy is ready for the outside world.

I couldn’t recommend NK9ine highly enough! They walk my fully trained Doberman, Cole, while I’m at work, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. They are always punctual, reliable and have never let me down. What I particularly appreciate is that their structured walks don’t just give Cole great exercise and stimulation, but also help maintain the standard of training we’ve worked hard to achieve. It’s reassuring to know that his training and good habits are being consistently reinforced even when I’m not there. They regularly send me photos and updates, which are always lovely to receive and give me a little glimpse of what Cole has been getting up to. It’s clear how much they care about the dogs they work with, and I have complete trust in them with Cole. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable and genuinely caring dog walking and training service, I would highly recommend NK9ine!

Shapari has been amazing for us during time we have had her. She builds a great relationship with the dogs which shows with how excited Milo is to see her before his walks and when he sees her out and about. She goes the extra mile and often takes Milo out for longer than specified, you can tell she has a clear love and passion for what she does and I would highly recommend her!!
