"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! "

"Larysa has been looking after our dogs for a little while now and she is just so great. One of our dogs has a big personality but Larysa’s calm and gentle manner is clearly a great influence on him. She is diligently communicative and clearly cares a lot about animals. We feel very lucky to have found her."

"Frances was absolutely amazing. she is the first person other than family we have trusted to look after our dogs, and would wholeheartedly do so again. From the first day to the last she provided updates and pictures of the dogs to ease our minds. Both dogs happy and healthy on our return and will probably want Frances back the amount of walks they got from her! absolutely fantastic thank you xx"

"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"

"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."

"Georgie was a fantastic sitter for our dog. We left Georgie with a young (under 1) energetic girl for 7 days and upon our return the house was clean and the dog was happy. We received regular correspondence and we needed not to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend Georgie and I will be in touch with her when we arrange our next holiday. 5 stars!"

"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."

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 365 pet owners in Pontefract have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
