House Sitting Bradford

“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!”

“I came home to a very happy, healthy Molly and a spotless house. Koren was amazing, sending lots of photos and videis while she was looking after my 14.5 year old girl. Koren is very capable, reliable and Molly clearly enjoyed her petsit. I would reccomend Koren to anyone looking for a carefree dogsit and will definitely be asking her to look after Molly again.”

“Saddique came to meet Kai in advance of the daycare we had booked. He was calm and patient with Kai - who is not good with new people. Within a short space of time Kai clearly trusted him. Today Saddique has spent the day with Kai, taking him on several walks and playing with him. When I got home Kai was calm and happy which tells me that Saddique did a great job with him. Saddique was polite (even when Kai was making that difficult), listened to what we needed for Kai and was completely reliable. I would book Saddique again and would highly recommend him. Thank you Saddique from me and Kai.”

“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.”

“We are so happy we chose Lou to look after our dog and cat while we went away to get married. Lou is friendly, kind, thoughtful, helpful and capable. We couldn't have asked for better. The pets were happy and relaxed when we got home and had clearly spent a lovely time with Lou. Lots of photos and videos and updates helped us feel relaxed and happy that all was well. Looking forward to having Lou back the next time we go away. Thanks a bunch Lou! :-).”

“Oliver was great with Paddy, sent plenty of pictures and updates too. Followed all the instructions clearly as paddy can be a bit awkward! 10/10 would happily use Oliver again”

“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!”

“Susan looked after our senior cat, Kira, who has a medical condition requiring regular medication, for a week in August. She was able to stay with him overnight for the week, feed him, clean up after him when needed, made sure his medication was all sorted, and most importantly kept him company at night. When we got back the house was just as we left it, there were no issues at all, and Kira seemed nice and calm. We would definitely use Susan again and recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of their cat!”

Amy B.

“Josh arrived punctually and was very friendly and professional. Enzo, our crazy, energetic, Lurcher puppy, took to him immediately, and Josh was great with him. The house was left just as clean and tidy as he found it. We'd be very happy to hire him again. Thanks for keeping our animals safe and happy.”

Jan

“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.”

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.

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.

About: With 5 years of experience caring for cats and dogs and even the odd chicken, I provide reliable, high-quality pet sitting tailored to your animal’s specific needs. From energetic walks to specialised cat care, I prioritize your pet's routine and happiness above all else. I am a discreet and trustworthy sitter who treats your home with the utmost respect. You can expect regular photo updates and clear communication, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication or simply offering plenty of attention, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets safe and comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a gardener so I can either take dogs to work with me if they enjoying being outside (only to enclosed and appropriate places) or be flexible with my work schedule to accommodate returning home to give them scheduled walks. I also have flexibility in days I can work. I can travel and am free to stay over in someone’s home easily (as I don’t have home commitments such as children or my own pets) The animals I have looked after in the past have tended to stay with them in their home so not to take them out of their comfortable environment. I treat all animals with love, affection and respect. If it is a cat that wants lots of cuddles or prefers their own independence, I try to get a full picture from their owner so I can treat them as they are used to.

About: I have always been surrounded by pets since childhood. I currently reside in a lovely new build property in Bradford, featuring five bedrooms and a large rear garden located on a quiet cul-de-sac. I've set up a small play area inside our garage specifically for the pets. I have a five-year-old Yorkshire Terrier whom I take for walks twice a day. As I work full-time working from home , Hence I am home with my dog for most of the time. Additionally, I have installed CCTV inside the house to keep a close eye on them. The garden is fenced, providing a secure environment, and my little Yorkie is a delightful companion to keep your pet entertained. I also have plenty of pet-safe toys and treats available for them to enjoy. In my daily routine, pet care is a fundamental aspect that I prioritize. Each day begins with taking my Yorkshire Terrier for a morning walk, which not only provides her with exercise but also helps to set a positive tone for the day. After my walk, I ensure she has her meals and ample playtime, incorporating interactive toys to keep her mentally stimulated. During my work hours, I maintain my dog’s well-being by ensuring she has access to her play area and is monitored through our indoor CCTV system. This allows me to keep a watchful eye on her while I’m busy with work tasks. In the evenings, I dedicate time to another walk, providing her with physical exercise and the opportunity to explore. I also make it a point to engage in playtime and training sessions during the week, reinforcing good behavior and strengthening our bond. On weekends or my days off, I like to enhance our routine with longer outings or trips to pet-friendly parks, which provide additional socialization and adventure. Overall, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly schedule, ensuring a happy and healthy life for my dog while maintaining my responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner's home, I follow a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their health, safety, and well-being. Here are the key aspects of my care routine: 1. **Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and secure. This includes pet-proofing areas by removing hazards and ensuring that all spaces are fenced or gated if necessary. I also provide a comfortable sleeping area and ensure that the temperature is suitable for the pets. 2. **Feeding**: I follow the pet owner's feeding plan, adhering to specific dietary needs and schedules. I provide fresh water at all times and ensure that food bowls are clean and easily accessible. 3. **Exercise**: Regular exercise is crucial for pets. I take them for walks, engage in playtime, and provide plenty of opportunities for physical activity. This helps them burn off energy and stay healthy. 4. **Mental Stimulation**: I offer a variety of toys and activities to keep pets mentally engaged. Interactive toys, puzzles, and training sessions are integrated into the daily routine to promote cognitive development. 5. **Health Monitoring**: I observe pets for any signs of illness or discomfort. If any issues arise, I communicate promptly with the pet owner and seek veterinary care if necessary. 6. **Hygiene**: I maintain cleanliness by regularly grooming the pets, bathing them as required, and keeping their living area tidy. This includes cleaning litter boxes for cats or keeping the yard clean for dogs. 7. **Affection and Socialization**: I provide plenty of love and attention, allowing pets to feel secure and happy. This may include cuddling, petting, and ensuring they receive social interaction with other pets or people. By following these practices, I ensure that pets receive compassionate and thorough care, whether in my home or theirs, creating a nurturing and loving environment.

About: I’ve lived in BD13, Thornton for over 30 years, and have been a dog owner for the last 10 years. I retired from FT work in 2024, so have plenty of spare time. I walk daily, no matter what the weather, and know some great off road routes for dog walking, so can help your dog maintain a level of fitness if for any reason you’re unable to do so, whether due to health issues, or because of work or family commitments, or if you just need a break! I’ll record walks on Strava so you can see what exercise your dog has done, and I’ll send you pics to show your doggie having fun! Car owner, so can drive to / from anywhere local. For home boarding, I live with my wife of 33 years, along with Angus, our 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier. If your dog stays with us, they will be welcomed, and treated as our own. I retired from full time work in 2024, so have plenty of time to spare, and can offer dog care / walking services on most days. Even if it’s just a one off, to support your dog whilst you’re away for a special occasion, I can hopefully help out. My house has a lovely green garden, mostly fenced, so if your pet isn’t ready for walking the full requested period, they can relax either in my house or garden whilst you have time out! I will record all walks on strava, and send you screenshots of routes, so you know your dog has been exercised, aswell as pics if you wish.

About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a busy dog boarding kennels, where I looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities - including nervous pups, playful puppies, and sweet seniors. I also have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and a Bachelor’s degree in Bio-Veterinary Science, so I understand a lot about animal health and behaviour. I’m confident handling all kinds of situations and always pay close attention to how each pet is feeling. Whether your dog needs a calm companion, someone who sticks to their routine, or just plenty of belly rubs and walks, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work remotely, which means I’m home most of the day and always around for cuddles, company, and keeping an eye on things. I can easily take dogs out for walks during my lunch break and again after work, and I’m flexible enough to adapt to your pet’s usual schedule. Whether it’s a mid-morning play session, food at a certain time, or just being present to keep your pet calm and happy—I’m here for it. I provide loving, attentive care by following your pet’s routine - feeding, walking (on lead or off lead if requested), playtime, and medication if needed - while keeping your home clean, safe, and comfortable for a stress-free stay.
