“Koren is a lovely, polite, trustworthy person. It’s the first time I’ve left my dog with someone I didn’t know but koren really put my mind at ease by sending me daily updates and picture of my dog happy and content. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after him and can’t thank her enough. I would definitely use Koren over and over again without a doubt and I wouldn’t have to worry.”
“We couldn't be happier. Otis can be a shy dog with new people but he seemed to take to Vee in practically no time. We received loads of updates and pictures and Otis had all the love and care we could've asked for! We absolutely will be booking in again, couldn't be anymore pleased!”
About: Hello, I'm Claire. I'll be your devoted pet sitter. I get along well with cats, and since they all have unique personalities, I enjoy taking care of them. I am aware of the variations among cats and am able to care for them appropriately, whether they are quiet, shy, incredibly affectionate, or too excited. I can develop a wonderful bond with your cat and have a lot of love and care to share. I enjoy caring for animals and can follow instructions and routines that may be suitable for your particular pet with ease. Knowing that I can lend a helping hand whenever needed makes me truly pleased. I work full time at a supporting living service for adults with mental health in Shipley. However this won’t stop me from spending a lot of time to your cats and ensuring they are well looked after! 🌸
“Jess was brilliant - punctual, friendly and extremely calm with our slightly crazy dog! We returned home to a very happy dog and would use Jess for house sitting again with no hesitation.”
About: I’m a cat mad lady who loves everything cat! I have 3 of my own who I adore as though they were my actual children. I have looked after family and friend’s cats for the past 10 years. I have looked after cats with strict dietary requirements and have no problem with administering medication. I have a long haired kitty so I’m no stranger to detangling fur and keeping up with grooming and claw clipping. I have a diploma is Cat Behaviour and Psychology too! As Freud says: “Time spent with cats is never wasted!” I have a mundane office job Monday to Friday so getting to visit kitties on a daily basis always brightens my day! You can rest assured your kitty will be well looked after in your absence!
“Just arrived from our USA holidays Saddique has done a fantastic job to my two pets Ronnie and Rosie they easily get along with him plus how he carry out his job…All I can say is that whatever and whoever he will work he will perform a tremendous superb job…This mid of June he is going to look after Ronnie and Rosie again…”
“Lou was fantastic with Narla. From the first message she was clear, friendly and great at communicating the whole way through.We felt completely at ease knowing Narla was in safe hands. Lou sent regular updates, which was really reassuring, and it was obvious that Narla was happy and well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience and would happily book with her again.”
“I've trusted Kathryn with our dog Klaus for 8 years since we got him as a puppy. She's trustworthy, reliable, attentive and kind, she follows any instructions left and most importantly our dog loves her and is more than comfortable with her looking after him, zoomies start when she arrives. I would highly recommend Kathryn if you require a pet sitter. She has also pet sat 2 cats for my mum for over 16 years. Kat is a 10/10 pet sitter in every way, her service is outstanding. 🩵”
“Leah was great when she looked after our 6 month old puppy for the day - super responsive, friendly and great with Olive, who had the best time with her! She kept us updated with photos throughout the day, took Olive for a walk and we came home to a very happy puppy, and a very tidy house. Thanks Leah!”
“Excellent. Lovely personality, wonderful with our furbabies who had a wonderful time with her and her dog and other ne playmates they made friends with, when they were being looked after while we were away for the day. As far as we are concerned she is our family dog minder and walker for life and it is a weight off our minds to know she will be there when required.”
“Was really pleased that Samuel was able to step in to look after our two dogs at really short notice; it was reassuring to leave them him. We’re also grateful that he persevered with them, even when Tilly became grumpy and aggressive; not quite sure why she did it, but never the less Samuel stayed with them until it was time to put them to bed. He was punctual and respectful of our space, and we would recommend him as a dog sitter.”
“Niamh was brilliant in keeping me updated with everything my dog Astro was up to whilst we were away. She sent lovely photos and a video I would definitely recommend Niamh as a caring pet sitter”
About: I have been on rover since November 2023 and as massive dog lovers, we are having the time of our lives looking after other people's pets. Look at our reviews to see how happy and content all your pets are with us. I have recently started house sitting in your home too. I have had dogs all our life and been surrounded by dogs in the family since childhood. I have a Labrador called Bella who is 7, she is great with other dogs and very well behaved. She is a real pampered pooch, regularly exercised and has lots of cuddles. Unfortunately we lost Ted our 8 year old Labrador to cancer in September 24, you will most likely read a lot about him in our reviews. We now have Nelly who is a 1 year old lab. Both are great with dogs, however they don’t always have to come to your house when I am dog sitting, sometimes they can stay at home. Monday to Friday Maria works from home so your pooch will have lots of company and cuddles. I work local to home for lunchtime walks. On evening and weekends I run or walk with Bella, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. We have a large enclosed garden for safety , Bella sleeps downstairs in the kitchen or living room, your dog can sleep up or downstairs.
“Kathryn stayed with my dog Mollie while we went out for boxing day drinks. We kept in touch and I got sent photos and Mollie seemed happy and calm with her. Thank you. I will use Kathryn again. :)”
About: Hi, I'm a passionate dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities, and needs. I have my own dog, Torrin, a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer (GWP), who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience in training, exercise, and daily care. Over the past two years, I've also regularly looked after two dogs, Hattie and Senga, building strong relationships with both them and their owners. Through caring for multiple dogs, I've developed a good understanding of different temperaments, routines, and requirements, and I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very easily into my routine, especially during the week as I'm currently on my university summer break and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, and general pet care throughout the day. During term time and outside the summer period, I'm also available on occasional weekends and will always communicate my availability clearly in advance. I always aim to follow a pet's usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for pets in my home or in an owner's home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, along with fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions provided by the owner. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important consistency and communication are. I have a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer, Torrin, and over the past two years I have regularly cared for two other dogs, Hattie and Senga. This experience has helped me become confident in managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I've always been an animal lover, and I have been caring for various pets for many years! I have my own cat, Tommy, who I've had the pleasure of taking care of over the past 10 years. Looking after him has given me hands-on experience with everything from feeding and grooming to recognising changes in his behaviour or health. Over the years, i have learned how important patience and building trust is with animals. In addition to caring for my own cat, I've also helped look after a dog for around 5 years. This included regular walks, feeding and playing. I helped with basic training such as reinforcing good behaviours on walks, as well as maintaining good routine and structure with him. As he can be quite an energetic dog, this experience has given me the confidence in handling dogs with various energy levels. I have also taken care of other cats and dogs for shorter periods of time. Whether it's been a few days or a weekend, I always make sure to provide them the best level of care and attention as I would with my own cat. I always ensure that pets in my care feel safe, loved and comfortable. I pay close attention to their needs and personalities to ensure I can give the best care possible. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent care for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure I plan my schedule around the needs of the animals I’m looking after. Because I’m not working full-time hours, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time throughout the week. I’m organised and reliable, and I always ensure pets are fed on time, exercised properly, and given lots of attention and affection. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully — including feeding routines, walking schedules, medication (if required), and any specific behavioural needs. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are kept in a secure and safe environment. I’m mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, avoiding unsafe foods or objects, and ensuring pets are supervised appropriately. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

Saddique looked after our large strong Lurcher for 10 days in our home. We chose a dog sitter due to an incident in a boarding kennels and wanted him to be in his own home and familiar surroundings to hopefully ease any stress from being away from us. We chose well with Saddique. He did a very good job, he walked him 3 times a day and took very good care of him. He was spotted out walking him by a family member who said Buddy was lovely and calm and that Saddique was engaging with him which was lovely to hear. Our home was well looked after and clean on our return. He even put our bins out for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Saddique again for future holidays.
Leah was great when she looked after our 6 month old puppy for the day - super responsive, friendly and great with Olive, who had the best time with her! She kept us updated with photos throughout the day, took Olive for a walk and we came home to a very happy puppy, and a very tidy house. Thanks Leah!
Kat was the perfect caregiver to our boys axel and Jasper, she was very attentive, she took them on lovely walks and was able to handle axel’s medication schedule with no problems. Would 100 percent recommend her to look after your furry friends while away, our boys loved her as if they had known her for years, making them feel very loved and comfortable. Could not be more grateful for Kat. 10/10 ❤️ would definitely book again ❤️

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree 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 favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
