“This is the second time Saddique has looked after our cat and has done a brilliant job, polite, tidy, thoughtful. We can go on our breaks away with peace of mind. The price for this service is also great value. Thanks again.”
“Eve took exceptional care of our cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We arranged morning and evening visits, and she consistently provided detailed updates along with photos after every visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Our home was undergoing some construction at the time, which made things a bit inconvenient, but Eve handled everything professionally and even kept us informed about matters beyond her duties. That level of attentiveness was incredibly reassuring and much appreciated. Most importantly, our cats absolutely adored her. They warmed to her far more quickly than we’ve ever experienced before, which truly speaks to her natural ability with animals. From start to finish, everything was smooth and completely trouble-free. We would not hesitate to book Eve again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Nicola is a fantastic cat sitter. She was very accommodating and brilliant with Theo, administered his medication and spent plenty of time with him. Very grateful. Thank you!”
“So happy with the care and love our cats received! 🥰 Vee was absolutely amazing start to finish, really reassuring and reliable. Sent lots of updates every day and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy and well looked after on our 2 week break, very happy we’ve found such a fab cat sitter and I couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you! ☺️”
“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.”
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.
“Josh was absolutely superb with Paisley. She is normally very cautious with people she has never met but Josh clearly had a gift that made her feel comfortable and relaxed around him. Treats clearly helped ha ha. I have never had a private cat sitter before because I was worried that they wouldn't care for my furbaby like me or be respectful of my home but Josh has proved me wrong and given me faith. I 💯 % trust him with both. He was an absolute star 🌟 🤩. Paisley clearly loved him and I will be booking him again to care for her no doubt about it. Thank you Josh 😊”
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 am both a HUGE cat and dog lover! I’ve always grown up with animals and so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I have lots of flexibility and would love to look after your pet! I’ve returned home after travelling Canada and working part-time as a supply teaching assistant, therefore I have lots of flexibility and I am able to easily change my schedule to take care of your pet. I live at home with two cats and my leopard gecko who generally like to keep themselves to themselves. We have a fenced garden which in which your pet can roam free in.
“Annabel was absolutely wonderful looking after Loki and Freya! It was so reassuring to receive regular photo updates and see how happy and settled they were. She really took great care of them, and we came home knowing they’d been in safe and loving hands. We’d happily recommend Annabel and would definitely book her again! ❤️🐾”
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 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

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Bradford
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
