Amazing once again, I used to get anxious leaving the cats over a weekend to visit family, but now I can nip away without any worries and Vee continues to send lovely updates. We can back to two happy cats and one brushed girl who looked better than when we left 💖

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs with different needs and temperaments, supported by a lifelong passion for animals—especially dogs. I regularly cared for an elderly German Shepherd, providing gentle walks and consistent pet sitting support. I also own a six-year-old Jack Russell with a history of dog aggression, which has given me strong skills in managing reactive behavior, reading canine body language, and maintaining safe, controlled environments during walks and social situations. In addition, I frequently look after my auntie’s two Labradors, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and routine care. I also completed an Animal Management course at college, which included grooming training and further strengthened my understanding of animal care and welfare. Monday–Friday: 7am–10am & 1pm–9pm Saturday–Sunday: 7am–9pm Available every day, Monday to Sunday I offer all pet care services, including: Dog walking Pet sitting (drop-ins & extended stays) Overnight care When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritise maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and household rules (such as crate use, furniture rules, or boundaries). I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure their living spaces—like litter trays, beds, or food areas—are well maintained. I offer playtime, companionship, and regular check-ins so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also provide consistent updates, photos, and communication to keep owners reassured.

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: 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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Bradford pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
