PawPost connects pet owners across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, York, Sheffield and Manchester with vetted local sitters and walkers — for dogs, cats, rabbits and more. No call centres. Just neighbours who know the area.
When one of our founders had a family emergency, the kennels were full and the sitters they found online had no reviews, no checks, and no easy way to book. Turns out every neighbour had the same story.
What began as a shared spreadsheet of trusted sitters has grown into a proper local network — around 15 vetted sitters and 94+ regular customers across Yorkshire and the wider North.
Prices vary a little by sitter and area — think of these as a friendly starting point, not the final word.
30–60 minutes, solo or small group walks around the local park.
Your pet spends the day with a sitter — walks, lunch, garden time.
Our most popular service — a sitter stays over, often for several nights.
Feeding, litter and a check-in for cats while you're away.
A lift to the vet, groomer, or to meet a sitter.
Every sitter is interviewed personally and most have lived in their area for years — that's why we know it's better to stay small and local than to chase scale.
Lots of enquiries from Huddersfield and Halifax too — we're growing the sitter network there, so let us know if you're nearby and we'll keep you posted.
Two references and a phone interview before approval — every sitter lists exactly which services and areas they cover.
These are the questions we hear most. Tap one to ask the PawPost Assistant directly.
Share your area, pet type, the service you need and your dates with our assistant — we'll take it from there and match you with a sitter nearby.
