About: Experienced caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Skilled in handling energetic puppies, including leash training, socialization, and establishing positive routines. Compassionate care for senior dogs, with attention to mobility limitations, arthritis, vision or hearing loss, and age-related health needs. Experienced administering oral medications and following prescribed medication schedules accurately. Knowledgeable in post-operative recovery care, including activity restrictions, monitored walks, incision observation, and rehabilitation support as directed by veterinarians. Comfortable with dogs that require special handling, mobility assistance, or adaptive equipment. Experienced providing feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and companionship during visits. Able to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns promptly to owners. Committed to safe leash handling, positive reinforcement techniques, and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment. Dependable, trustworthy, and focused on treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability to walk, visit, and spend quality one-on-one time with your pup. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, exercise, companionship while you're at work, or an evening check-in, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy, comfortable, active, and well cared for until you're home. Your dog's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I use secure leash and harness practices and follow your pet's normal routine to minimize stress. I carefully monitor dogs for signs of illness, injury, overheating, fatigue, or discomfort during walks and visits. I clean up after every walk and help keep your home tidy by wiping muddy paws, cleaning food and water bowls as needed, and promptly cleaning up any accidents. Fresh water is always provided, and feeding instructions are followed exactly as requested. I sanitize hands and equipment between visits when appropriate to help reduce the spread of germs between households. I keep gates, doors, and fences securely closed and locked, and I never leave a pet unattended in unsafe situations. I communicate with pet owners after each visit, providing updates on walks, meals, medications, bathroom breaks, and any concerns that arise.
“Lexi was wonderful with our pup Remy! She was communicative, easy-going, and super nice. Lexi sent us some pictures while we were away, and it was so nice leaving him with a trusted, professional person. We will be rebooking Lexi soon!”
“Payton was wonderful. She stayed with our doggo, Truffle, while we were on vacation. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and left our house very clean. We would definitely have her watch Truffle again.”
“Robert is wonderful. Pascua,Winston,Koda enjoyed being with Robert. Robert is very caring,responsible,thoughtful. Robert did exactly what I asked him to do while I was away..Robert kept in touch with me which was very comforting. No mess or anything in my house. Robert left the house in perfect condition. I will definetly call Robert again next time I travel. Thanks”
“Tory was amazing with our dog Bella! She stayed for two nights and sent updates and photos. She’s very communicative and reliable and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter if they’re going out of town.”
“Peter watched my dog for 4 days and my dog is older and had some issues due to a broken tooth right now and some anxiety. He was very commutative with me and kept me informed of anything that he believed I should know. He sent pictures and videos. I highly recommend Peter. House was also clean upon my return. (Sarah was out of town so wasn’t able to come but I met her at a meet and greet with my dog and she was very friendly. )”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter! She was incredibly communicative before and during our time away and shared lots of daily updates. Our pets seemed immediately comfortable with her and she took great care of our space. We won't hesitate to book with Taylor again!”
“Maria was an amazing dog sitter for our Maple--we were so thrilled with the results and how happy Maple seemed! This was the first time that Maple had to stay with a new person since the pandemic; since she has been spending so much time with us, she has developed quite a bit of separation anxiety. Maria was a champ and had Maple going out for lengthy walks from day 1! I could tell from pics (and she sends lots of them!) that Maple was happy with her new friend, and we will definitely be engaging Maria's services again. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah was fantastic with our dog, Brody, and super flexible with our schedule. She was genuinely invested in making sure he was well taken care of, adjusted her schedule for what was best for us and Brody, and really made us feel like he was in good hands! Also sent a ton of pictures and great communication! Would absolutely recommend and will use Sarah again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.
“THE BEST! Kelly was incredible and I can't recommend her more. We have an older dog who needs medication and attention, Kelly stayed at our house and took care of our Pup for over two weeks. She also took great care of the house and plants. If Kelly takes care of your beloved four-legged ones you and your dog are extremely lucky, she's the best! Thank you, Kelly!!!!!”
“Margaret was a phenomenal communicator from the start, sent updates and photos several times a day which put our minds at ease and truly allowed us to enjoy our time away. The house was left spotless and our dogs happy! We hope to be able to book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bradford on Rover is $95.12 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 124 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bradford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bradford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bradford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bradford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
