Pet Sitting in 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 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 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.

“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: With years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I understand that leaving your beloved companion with someone new can feel daunting. That's why I focus on building a trusting relationship with both you and your pet from our very first meeting, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, which means I’m fully dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I structure my days around pet visits, dog walks, and day boarding, allowing me to be flexible with timings where needed. This flexibility means I can accommodate morning, lunchtime, and afternoon visits, as well as regular weekly routines or one-off bookings. Because this is my main focus, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve without rushing between commitments. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and family-based environment where animals are supervised throughout the day. I keep numbers small to ensure each pet receives individual attention and to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special requirements before their stay. This includes feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise levels, and any anxiety or behavioral considerations. For home visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure in their own environment. I ensure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh water, feeding, litter tray cleaning, and enrichment or companionship during each visit. Trust is very important to me, so I treat every home with respect and care, and I keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Claire was the perfect sitter! Kept our cats safe and happy whilst we were away🥲”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since i was born, training them, walking them and socialising them. I have always loved being surrounded by pets and seeing their little tails wag, I recently bought myself a dachshund and have trained him well to be sociable, kind natured and well behaved and he is like my first baby Im currently out of work studying midwifery from home caring for my dog hugo and we go on 2 walks a day, often down to the canal in Shipley. I love getting out the house and offering more mental stimulation! I have a fenced garden, and one friendly dachshund to keep your fur baby company. No children/cats and safety and happiness is my priority. No escapees round here!

“Was great to know that Ozzy was being well cared for in his owm home. Much less stressful for him than the cattery. Susan kept us up to date with lots of photos.”

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 there, I have had dogs all my adult life, ranging from my 10 & half stone Rottweiler to currently my 2 pugs , ranging from puppies to rescue dogs . I now have the time to help others, weather you need assistance due to work, new parents or just generally need a little help. I took early retirement 2 years ago, I have plenty of time to care for pets , which I love doing, from puppies to seniors . I can do puppy feeds, garden toilet breaks or just provide a friendly face or play mate. I can give company for senior or poorly pooches that just need checking in on .

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 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: 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.

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: 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)

“ If you're looking for a catsitter, Simon is a perfect choice! He provides a high standard of care, and it is clear he genuinely cares about the needs and wellbeing of cats. Communication was clear and timely and provided us with peace of mind whilst on our holiday. Thank you! We will be booking again!”
