House Sitting in England

Do you enjoy spending time with cute animals? Fancy exploring England for free? It’s time to go house sitting in England!

The adorable animals of England need you! Keep them company while their owners are away and stay in amazing places without spending a penny. You can get free accommodation in England with the bonus of cute pets! House sitting jobs are the perfect way for pet lovers to experience England's intriguing destinations, whether it’s treading York's cobbled streets, taking in the views of Oxford's spires or visiting famous theatres. 

An English adventure with fur

44% per cent of English households have furry family members, so there are plenty of house sitter jobs available. House sitting in England comes with the perk of free accommodation, so you don't have to enjoy the urban parks alone. Battersea dog park is the perfect spot for Spot. It's right on the doorstep of Hyde Park Corner, where you can view the Marble Arch. Check the events calendar before you head there because the area is famous for its shows. 

Oxford tours

The Thames is one of the most majestic sites in the UK, and England's stretch falls right between Oxford and West London. Its dog-friendly historical sites make it an excellent destination for England house sitting tours. Pass by the eerie Oxford Castle before roaming the lush fields of Christ Church. If you're a Hogwarts fan, don't miss the Harry Potter stairs in the cathedral. 

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

Your new furry companion won't be able to visit the Houses of Parliament, but you can roam the banks of the Thames together. Don't forget to take some dog selfies in front of Big Ben. The Tate Modern and Globe Theatre are important destinations to add to your England house sitting jaunt. You can even stroll past Buckingham Palace. Just don't tell your England house sitting kitty you were there, because we all know who the real queen is! 

Lake District hikes

Looking after a dog in England is at its most spectacular from the summit of Catbells in the Lake District. This trail will give your pup a solid 3.5-mile walk, leaving plenty of time for a picnic. Pack some treats and hop aboard a boat for a cruise of Lake Windermere. They welcome guests with wagging tails. If it's not too chilly, you can even go for a swim. Who says looking after a dog in England can't help you meet your fitness goals? 

Durdle Door

Durdle Door is one of the most Insta-worthy spots to visit while taking care of a cat in England. Its cobbled beach and fossil-laden rock formations are a living demonstration of the Jurassic era. Long before cats became the leaders of the free world, dinosaurs roamed Dorset, so this is the perfect place to do some fossil hunting. If you don't have any luck, hop off to the Dorset Museum to see the Weymouth Bay pliosaur.
