Cat Sitting Bradford

“Saddique looked after my cat for 6 days. She's a shy rescue cat & usually hides when I have visitors but after a couple of days he was able to get close to her & sent me photos which was great. Would highly recommend.”

About: I am currently a student veterinary nurse due to qualify this summer, so I’m around animals all the time! I have lots of experience with all size breeds, ages and temperaments I work different shifts so that means I’m available a range of days and times. I can flexibly fit walks and visits around these, all my availability will be put up a month in advance:) From previously owning a dog I know safe places in the area to take your pets for walks. I’m very responsible and will respect your home for any visits.

“Vee was excellent from the initial meeting/interview right the way through until the end of the 2 week booking we had. Several updates sent to us whilst we was away, including some pictures. Cats well looked after, fed, watered, fussed and very happy. We will be using her again.”

About: **DBS CHECKED** Hello! I’m Alex and I have cared for many breeds of dogs in the past, as well as my own cat Ivy for the past 3+ years and my 2 Guinea pigs, Churro and Viktor. I have owned many dogs previously, including Greyhounds, Staffies and even Cane Corsos. Additionally, I have also owned budgies, tropical fish and a tortoise. I always prioritise enrichment, exercise, affection and mental stimulation. The standard in which I care for my animals is very high and I believe it should be the same for all. I am currently working a part time job at an equine yard, but only work around 1-2 shifts a week. Now, as I recently graduated from college, I have a lot more free time and flexibility in my life and would love to fill this space with caring for dearly loved pets. A role of this nature is something I’ve been eager to do for a long time, as I love meeting unique furry personalities. Meeting animals with different traits and characteristics is always fun and interesting for me- and providing a great level of care for owners pets is something I love and enjoy greatly. I am happy to walk dogs for up to three times a day and would be willing to go on longer ones if this is requested and/or needed for the dog. I would prefer to care for animals at the owners location, due to my house being rather small and more of a cat-orientated household. However, I am happy to do daycare and may consider overnight care at my own home if I am comfortable with the situation and if I’m informed of important details e.g. temperament, size, bad behaviours. I am happy to do weekdays, holidays (summer, school, bank) and weekends if I am free and/or given enough time in advance. I have a fenced front and back garden and access to many suitable dog walking areas. Whether it’s a 15 minute stroll around the block, or a longer walk across the moors, I am more than up for it! A play and social session down at the local park is always a blast too. I am very fortunate to live in a great area for dog walking and adventures. I do own a cat and two Guinea pigs, but they are kept in a separate room (the cat goes outside but keeps to herself). My home has a high level of security, including CCTV cameras and multiple ring cameras too. I also have a wet room style bathroom so bathing medium sized dogs and under would be possible. I have a decently sized grass back garden and a small wood chip front garden. I also have an old dog kennel which is being used for storage, but if necessary, can be cleaned out for use. In terms of caring for a pet at the owners home, I have my own form of transport so commuting to the location wouldn’t be an issue (if it’s no more than around 20 miles from my location). I am perfectly comfortable staying over night and will happily adhere to any special arrangements and requests, such as number of walks per day, giving medications and specialist requirements. I am unable to walk large dogs if they are very reactive and strong pullers, otherwise I am totally happy. I do ask that I am informed of any personality traits or issues I need to be aware of e.g. is not friendly with other dogs, reactive to cats, must wear an muzzle etc. I have no personal preferences or limits when caring for cats, as I have lots of experience and knowledge- plus they’re quite a bit easier than dogs! Again, all I ask is to be informed of any medical requirements or specialist care for your pet.

“Very nice lady went out of her way to put our dustbin out for us. She took care of luna extremely well we definitely recommend her and will be using Susan again in the future”

About: Hi, we’re Rebecca and Harry, a pet-loving couple based in Apperley Bridge. Animals have always been a big part of our lives. Harry has grown up with both dogs and cats and has experience caring for family pets of all ages, while Rebecca has been around cats since childhood and understands the importance of providing loving, attentive care. We also regularly look after a friend’s energetic Springer Spaniel, so we’re comfortable with active dogs who enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime and attention. As keen outdoor enthusiasts, we love spending time walking and exploring, and we’re lucky to live right next to the canal, which provides fantastic routes for safe and enjoyable walks. We understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and we’ll always take the time to make them feel comfortable, secure and loved while they’re in our care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles on the sofa, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, we’ll make sure they receive the same care and attention we’d give our own pets. We both work full-time in the office from 9am to 5pm during the week, so we’re generally available from 5:30pm onwards on weekdays and throughout the weekend. We’re also happy to arrange early morning walks if needed and will always do our best to accommodate your pet’s routine. We lead an active lifestyle and regularly go for walks and exercise along the canal near our home, so having a dog join us would make these outings even more enjoyable. Whether it’s an evening walk, weekend adventure, or providing companionship and care, we’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and affection while they’re with us. We provide a safe, calm and pet-friendly environment and always aim to make pets feel as comfortable as possible while in our care. We currently have no pets living in our home, which allows us to give visiting pets our full attention and helps some animals settle more easily. Our home is free from hazards, and we take care to ensure pets are always safe and supervised. Outside, we have a small gated front garden as well as an open grass area directly in front of our house, providing convenient space for toilet breaks and fresh air. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, we will always follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication (if required), and any specific instructions. We understand that every pet is different, so we’ll take the time to get to know their personality and needs to ensure they feel happy, secure and well cared for. We are also happy to meet one on one before hand

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life for friends and family and have worked at a dog boarding kennels for 3 years working with all kinds of dog breeds and I studied dog behaviour, nutrition and management including housing and healthcare I’m currently working part time between 8-10am and 3-5pm so I’m available most days in between, if you are okay with your dog/dog’s being left for 2 hours morning and afternoon. In your home I will listen and follow all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy this will extend to outside the home on walks. Unfortunately i cannot have your pet in my home as I have a reactive dog and wouldn’t want to put another animal in danger or distress.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years through personal experience as a dog owner. I raised my first dog from just two weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and basic training. I’ve also adopted and cared for rescue dogs, which has taught me patience and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of various sizes and breeds and have experience with strong, energetic breeds, including bully breeds. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or sticking to their established routines. I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently available on weekdays and have a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a check-in, or some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that fits their needs. I currently focus on providing walks and in-home drop-in care, as I love giving pets attention and companionship while keeping them comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide plenty of care, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I will always treat them with the same patience, love, and respect that I would give my own pets.

“Sehrish has been amazing with my dog, her updates when she dropped in and took her for walks really eased my mind whilst we were on holiday. She followed all the details for care perfectly and built such a trusting relationship with my dog. She is definitely someone we would trust looking after our animals again!”

About: Hello! My name is Jane and I am a dog walker and pet sitter. I have worked for 12 years as an animal care lecturer, as an animal management keeper, and worked in a large aquatics pet store, so I have a broad range of experience. In 2024 I decided that I wanted to use my experience with animals and work for myself. Having needed dog walking and pet services myself in the past and struggled to find someone local that could rely on, I know how worrying it can be to find the right person to care for my animals whilst I am not at home. The person I would be hiring would be responsible for two things I care about the most, my pets and my home. I therefore aim to provide a reliable and reassuring pet care service for all owners to help alleviate some of these worries. I am fully insured with PetPlan Sanctuary and have been trained in Canine First Aid (iPet Level 3). I also have an enhanced DBS check available for clients to view (children and adults), so you can be assured you have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I can provide regular or one-off dog walking and a variety of pet care services in your home (including one-off or regular visits, and overnight stays). I can even clean and maintain your aquarium for you, both freshwater and marine. I care for the pets of others nearly full time so I can fit in pet care services very flexibly. Whilst I cannot guarantee specific times in the majority of cases, I try my best to ensure that your pets are visited at times which suit them, and you. Pets are cared for with their own comfort, and peace of mind of the owner, at the heart of the routine. As much as possible I try to ensure the pet's normal routine is not disturbed, which can help many pets when their owners are away. This is especially true for nervous cats and shy dogs who often need their own space, and I try not to pressure them into being in my company if they do not want it. On the other hand, confident cats and dogs can always get the scritches, belly rubs and play time they ask for! I believe it is very important to respect pets and owners boundaries. For example, if they're not allowed on the sofa with you, they're not with me either. This is all talked through at the meet and greet I insist on arranging before every booking to make sure we're all on the same page and the pets can meet me at least once before I stay with them. This also has the dual purpose of ensuring the safety of pets, property and myself. Understanding the personality and behaviours of pets in their own home helps to avoid unintended fearful reactions from those pets which may cause harm. I try to have as minimal an impact on the home as possible, leaving the home as I found it. Finishing up a visit involves ensuring that everything has been completed to a high standard, and the home is left in the condition expected by the owner. I am more than happy to perform small cleaning tasks to ensure the home is cleaned where pets may have made a hairy mess, as long as there is enough time to complete all of the required pet care tasks. If your pet is likely to make a mess, I usually recommend paying a little extra for each visit, or a couple of visits, to ensure I have enough time to care for your home as well as your pets.

“Claire was the perfect sitter! Kept our cats safe and happy whilst we were away🥲”

About: I have always had pets since I was young and have experience with puppies, dogs, Kittens, cats, fish and parrots. I also work as a carer so I’m very caring I am a full time carer however get multiple breaks throughout the day so feeding, walking and playtime can be worked around my rota even when I’m working. On my days off I’m free all day. I don’t work night shifts or anything. I’m always playing with my pets when they are not out I have a good routine for feeding times.

About: I have a lifetime's experience of owning dogs. I have previously bred my own dogs, trained and competed in obedience competitions and consider myself a responsible owner. I have grown up with dogs and horses around. I have a border collie Sadie, who joined us at 18months old and is now 9yrs. Sadie (along with our previous 2 dogs) came from a rescue centre. I'm proud that she has become a loving, happy dog overcoming the bad treatment she had from her early years. I can be trusted to give your pet the care and attention along with individual requirements in your absence and would be happy to give updates throughout the stay. I am retired so can be flexible with my time. I walk our socialised dog daily and if you'd like her to join a daily walk that would be great, though your pet will receive whatever care that is required for their individual needs. I would follow the owner's instructions and routine to allow the pet the consistent care and attention needed to keep it as content and happy as possible in their own environment..

“ If you're looking for a catsitter, Simon is a perfect choice! He provides a high standard of care, and it is clear he genuinely cares about the needs and wellbeing of cats. Communication was clear and timely and provided us with peace of mind whilst on our holiday. Thank you! We will be booking again!”

About: I have owned many different animals over time- I have personal experience of my family owning a Husky, a little Maltease, a Corgi, a Poochon and a Great Dane. I have plenty of experience with small dogs as well as larger dogs- I feel very comfortable looking after all breeds. I have also owned 3 cats so I have a substantial amount of knowledge and experience with cats as well as dogs. I have also previously worked at a dog groomers, so i have experience with washing and cleaning dogs as well as walking, playing and entertaining them! Please note there is a £5/£10 add on if im driving to your home (I am Pudsey based) unless you are based around Pudsey then no add on is required for travel. Im also happy to take female in heat for an additional £5 charge. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine. I schedule time for walks, play, feeding and enrichment to ensure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I am flexible and can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that involves daily visits, longer stays or weekend care. My goal is to provide reliable and structured care that fits into your pets’ needs! I do not currently have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on caring for the animals of others without any potential conflicts or disruptions- Especially if your pet is boarding in my home for a long period of time.

About: I have taken care of my neighbours dogs in numerous occasions and have had 10 years worth of experience with 3 cats of my own. I understand how dearly pet owners love their pets; as if they were their own children (I know I do!) and therefore believe that I would be a great carer for your little ones as you enjoy your break! I am a Biomedical science University student living at home and have a lot of free time to take care of and provide attention to your pets! I am also trained in lab skills and know what behaviours in animals would be alarming. I can maintain the same or a very similar routine for your pets as the ones they follow when you are around, I am a massive animal lover and can take really good care of your fur babies
