“Vee was an amazing sitter. She was so dedicated and caring, not just doing the essentials, but spending loads of time playing with Wilf and keeping him entertained while I was away. She kept me updated every day which was really reassuring and I have come back to a very happy cat. I will definitely ask Vee to sit again and highly recommend her. ”
“Really pleased with saddique. Communication great. Oasis is a shy cat that hides. He has only recently moved into my household. Hopefully next time i use saddique he might not be as shy. Will definitely use in the future.”
“ 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!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and Joshua so we were a bit anxious about how it would go, but we needn’t have worried - he was great with Samson. He was really friendly, Samson seemed to like him straight away, and he was on time for both the meet and greet and the sitting, which was really reassuring. We had a bit of an issue with our door when we were leaving, so we ended up being delayed, but Joshua was really understanding. He was also very patient with our child and happily listened to all her chatter! He stayed until the time we’d agreed and everything went really smoothly. We’ll definitely use Joshua again now we’ve found someone we can trust to look after Samson, and it means we can hopefully enjoy more day trips knowing he’s in good hands.”
About: Alongside looking after friend's cats for 10+ years since kittens, I also have looked after dogs and done plenty of dog walking services for friends. I work from home so it allows me to work from anywhere, allowing me to be available for pet care anywhere and for longer durations at a time. I cannot offer sitting at my own home but I can offer sitting at the owner's home. I will follow any instructions and also look after the house in their absence.
About: I used to take care of cats and Dogs but once i got my house i would love to have them at home as well We have a dog and 3 cats and they are all family for us, we love to have friends with animals and we have a beautiful park where we go nearly everyday I have a fenced garden with a cavapoo very friendly, we have a flip flop door as well to go inside and very friendly enviroment
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.
“Bon was very good with our boys, very conscience to their needs and gave them lots of fuss and attention. We were updated everyday and had lots of photos and videos. Will definitely use Bon 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.

About: I have always had cats growing up. I currently have my own called Milo who is a very loving clingy cat. I have done dog sitting for family members while they are on holiday. I have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs. This is my full time job so I am available anytime and anyday. I will respond to you within the hour and answer any questions you may have. I have a cat bed in my bedroom for my cat Milo and loads of cat toys that he loves! I have a cat flap on my front door so he can go in and out as he pleases.
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.
About: I am currently a student veterinary nurse due to qualify this summer, so I’m around animals all the time!

I’m very responsible and will respect your home for any visits.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Bradford
I’m always a little nervous about leaving my six cats as they love their routine, but from the start i felt they were in safe hands. Communication including photos was great and it was obvious my cats felt calm fir the three nights I was away. Coming home to six happy, relaxed cats was the best reassurance I could have asked for. Thank you so much – I’d happily book again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bradford on Rover is £11.5 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,249 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bradford. About 93% of Bradford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
