"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. Michael & Eileen (Castleford) 27.10.2025"

"I recently had an excellent experience with a dog sitter who took care of my two dogs. I felt confident that they were in good hands. The sitter was incredibly attentive and ensured that all of my dogs' needs were met. They provided regular updates with photos and videos, which reassured me that my pets were happy and well cared for. Both of my dogs seemed very comfortable and content during their stay. When I got home, they were in great spirits and had clearly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Leah to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets."

"Jasmin took great care of our 7-year-old dog. She stayed in our home overnight to look after him while we were away. She was overall very gentle with him and kept the house very tidy and clean as well! Communication was easy, with chats and answers to any concerns along with photo and video updates. Our dog seemed to be very comfortable with Jasmin as he showed no signs of uneasiness and had no change in his eating habits, despite having separation anxiety in his previous experience with pet sitters. Our dog tends to be feisty, hyper and unfriendly with other animals. Jasmin seemed to have handled this well since there are a lot of dogs in our building and on our street. She was even quick to carry him during a run-in with an aggressive dog. We left some special instructions regarding things to avoid because of our dog's previous health issues and Jasmin was happy to follow them. She also took the time to clean a bit around his eyes after asking us if it was okay. We were very pleased with Jasmin and would definitely book her again for our next vacation. "

"Evie and her partner were wonderful sitters. We were worried about leaving Lilly our anxious labrador on her own for the first time but needn't have been. Evie played with her, took her out for walks and even on a little trip to a local nature park. When we had to come home early in the middle of the night, Evie very kindly waited up for us and made sure Lilly was ok before saying goodbye. A very tired and happy labrador has tobe the perfect sign of a good sitting."

"First time leaving my boy and can honestly say I was put at ease at the meet and greet. Leyonda was lovely and very knowledgeable and Bo took to her straight away. While I was away I was given regular updates, photos and videos which made it so much easier to enjoy my stay, came back to a very clean if not cleaner and tidy house, would definitely recommend."

Other pet care services in Pontefract

Pawshake also offers house sitting in

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 Pontefract 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 Pontefract.

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 Pontefract 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Pontefract on Pawshake. Over 327 pet owners in Pontefract have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
