"Simon is fabulous, he took great care of our six dogs and our home. When we came back the house was spotless. And more importantly, he followed all of our instructions including watching our dogs eat to make sure they didn’t choke and keeping the house safe with the alarm system and he also walked two dogs a day separately as requested to ensure their safety around off lead big dogs and other unexpected things. He updated us often (every day which was very appreciated) and was always to the point and clear and reassuring which was appreciated during our busy holidays. Simon’s attention to detail is brilliant and, saying this as someone who used to be an experienced pet sitter myself, you will struggle to find someone as good as him! "

"Joseph is a charming and pleasant young man and we have been delighted in the manner in which he has looked after our pets while we have been away on holiday. Joseph soon built up a relationship with Dexter & Chandler and has prepared their food in the manner we do and has taken them out on regular walks and even bathed them when then came back from a particular walk rather muddy! He has proved ultra reliant and we are sure that they have enjoyed being cared for by Joseph.
We arrived home to an extremely clean house that he had obviously looked after and respected. Regular updates and photographs were sent by Joseph and we felt reassured and comforted to know our little treasures were happy and being extremely well cared for and happy in our absence. We would not hesitate using Joseph again and would highly recommend his excellent service to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.

"This is the third time Audrey has looked after our 2 dogs & once again she has provided wonderful care. She took the dogs on walks in a variety of locations not just a quick & easy walk near the house! Both dogs have particular individual needs & Audrey happily & confidently dealt with these. We were able to relax & enjoy our holiday knowing the dogs were in such good hands. Can't recommend Audrey highly enough! "

"Matt sat for us for 5 days recently whilst we were on holiday and it was a very positive experience.
Matt came to the home prior to the sit to meet us and Ozzy and to set out expectations of the sit.
Matt communicated through the sit giving us updates and pictures and was respectful of our home, leaving it clean and tidy on his departure.
Matt left us a small painting of Ozzy he had done during his sit which was an unexpected and very thoughtful gift!
Would recommend Matt as a trustworthy sitter! "

"Amber looked after our two dogs for 12 days while we were on holiday. She kept us updated with pictures and how they were getting on. One of our dogs is on medication and she kept on top of that and our other dog has to eat in a high chair because of an illness and she did everything as we had asked of her! She was very good with both dogs and we would definitely use her services again! Thank you Amber ☺️ "

"Annachiara was fantastic with my cat, Malcolm. She put Malcolm's needs first, carefully followed his usual routine and gave him plenty of playtime and strokes. Malcolm is deaf and lives indoors only, but Annachiara was intuitively able to understand his needs. She even played the guitar to him so that he could feel the vibrations. Annachiara kept in constant contact, sending pictures each day, so I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday. I returned to a very happy cat and an immaculate house. Without hesitation I would recommend Annachiara and invite her to look after Malcolm again. Mal still misses her."

"Sky looked after our 3 dogs for a week. She did a fab meet and greet beforehand and put my mind at ease immediately. While we were away Sky communicated daily and if there was anything she needed to ask she did. It was nice having daily conversations regarding the dogs - as let’s face it all of us want that. ❤️ Sky was happy to check my horses daily and into the stay had to take over our 2 cats’ feeding from my elderly dad, who was a bit overwhelmed, which she did without drama or fuss. The house was lovely and tidy on our return and the dogs were very excited to see us, but also pleasantly calm which signalled to me how content they had been. "

"Megan was really great with our dog and two cats. Our very shy 1.5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog usually takes a good long while before she lets people pet her and all that jazz but it took Megan no time before Jester was playing with her and asking her for pets. We received updates via text and pictures too. Megan is a natural with animals and I would definitely book her again. ☺️"

"Mia has been a great dog Sitter. She house sat for our two old bulldogs. She kept in touch everyday with videos and photos and always got in touch if she wasn't 100% on something, to make sure she did it correctly and to make sure everything was kept to the dogs routine.
As a bonus, the house was even cleaner and tidied than when we left it!
We will definitely be getting back in touch in the future!"

Why house sitting ?
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 Elsecar 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 Elsecar.
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 Elsecar 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.
