Pet Sitting Bradford

“Saddique looked after my cat for 6 days. She's a shy rescue cat & usually hides when I have visitors but after a couple of days he was able to get close to her & sent me photos which was great. Would highly 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.

About: I have looked after my friends dogs while they were away quiet a few times, now wanting to spend my weekends with pets, going on walks and playing with yours :) I work M-F 8 until 4, Fridays I work from home so I will be all weekend at home. I can dog walk any weekly day after 4:30 and Friday to Sunday all day. I can pet sit all weekend from Friday to Sunday. I have a house with garden, I have no other pets. Your dog will be able to be anywhere in the house with me and won't be left alone while I am pet sitting.

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.

“Vanessa has looked after our cat Vincent twice now and we’d 100% recommend her. She sent lots of photos/updates and he clearly loves her. She’s very reliable and friendly and we’ll definitely ask her to look after Vincent again in the future. ”

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.

“Sehrish has been amazing with my dog, her updates when she dropped in and took her for walks really eased my mind whilst we were on holiday. She followed all the details for care perfectly and built such a trusting relationship with my dog. She is definitely someone we would trust looking after our animals again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life for friends and family and have worked at a dog boarding kennels for 3 years working with all kinds of dog breeds and I studied dog behaviour, nutrition and management including housing and healthcare I’m currently working part time between 8-10am and 3-5pm so I’m available most days in between, if you are okay with your dog/dog’s being left for 2 hours morning and afternoon. In your home I will listen and follow all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy this will extend to outside the home on walks. Unfortunately i cannot have your pet in my home as I have a reactive dog and wouldn’t want to put another animal in danger or distress.

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

“Lydia has been brilliant looking after my cocker spaniel puppy Dexter! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She even brought her dog Benny for a play date. Thank you for everything Dexter loves you both! ❤️”

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 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.

“It felt good knowing my dogs were being fed and out to the toilet whilst I was away from home for four hours. They really liked Joshua when he came to visit beforehand and they certainly seemed calm and relaxed and happy when I got home - Thankyou so much!”

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: 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 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: A lifelong animal lover who would be so excited to take care of your little family members. My pooch is fortunate to have company most days since I work 3 days a week. I would be glad to offer your pups a helping hand and support since not everyone has this opportunity. I have house-sat for friends' and families' pets, so thought it would be a great opportunity to share my love with others. Previously I've had Japanese Akita’s, Shih Tzu and Labrador’s and now my bundle of fun Cockapoo 'Doug', so have plenty of experience training and caring for high-energy larger dogs that need lots of mental stimulation and enrichment. If your pup is happier cuddling on the couch, that works perfectly for a bookworm like me. As long as you're away, your furry family member will get all the attention and belly rubs it needs. I live a short walk from Northcliff park a quiet dog park and Roberts Park so your pooch will always have a big, grassy area to play on or off-leash or we can go for nice long walks. I love exploring new areas too, so if you are located in another area I would thrive on exploring new walks with your furry friend. While you're away, your pet can enjoy a good cuddle, play session, and park walk. As much as anything, I am a patient, loving, and reliable person, who loves sharing my love of animals with others. I am a qualified midwife. So not only do I love my fur babies but I bring real babies into the world. I work shift work but only 3 days a week so have 4 days free to love your fur babies as much as I love mine! My dog has free rein of the house. He sleeps on our bed and knows no where is off limited. Any dog is welcome to sleep on our sofa aswell, I believe a pet is as much part of the family as anyone else. I have a big garden which is fully secure with 6ft walls, the garden is packed with toys (as my dog takes them out and does not bring them back)

“Chloe is very caring and loving lady.I could wholeheartedly rely on her services.She looked after my cat like it was her own and was sending me pictures and videos of my very happy and content cat....made me jealous at times lol.She also offered to water my plants,which was very thoughtful!

About: Hi, My name is Georgia, I am 25 years old and animal care is my passion. I studied animal management at college and also completed extra qualifications at college including animal first aid and canine behaviour and training. I volunteered at an animal shelter for several months where I walked the dogs and cleaned dog kennels and cat pens. I previously had a part-time job at a small animal boarding and canine hydrotherapy centre where I worked with rescue rabbits and guinea pigs, and other small animals in the boarding facilities. I had my own dog walking business prior to Covid, however like many other businesses during this time, I had to give it up. I am currently working full time but would love to spend my free time helping with your pet care needs! I am currently studying biology at university; I am always free in the evening and at the weekend. I will work around my classes during the week. I am unable to offer boarding, I do however have a lot of experience in pet-sitting and dog walking. My primary goal is to ensure that the animal's needs are met, but I am also there to provide company, playtime and lots of cuddles.
