Cat Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking
Pop-in visits for cats and small pets across Baildon, Shipley, Saltaire, Bingley and the surrounding villages, plus dog walking for owners who need a reliable walk in the middle of the day.
To be clear about what this is: we do not stay overnight and we do not board cats. We visit your home, feed, refresh the water, clean the litter tray, give medication if it is needed, and spend proper time with your cat so their routine stays exactly as it is.
No payment required, check dates first, then complete your pet's details.

Dog Walking
One-to-one or small group walks tailored to your dog's energy level, breed and preferences. We pick up from your home, take a proper route on Baildon Moor, through Shipley Glen or along the river, then drop back, tired, happy and ready for a nap. Walks are 45-60 minutes with full focus on your dog.
Cat Drop-In Visits
While you're away, we visit your cat at home, feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, play, fuss and companionship. Visits are 25-30 minutes, once or twice daily. We'll also water plants, bring in post and adjust blinds, so your home looks lived in. Daily photo updates included so you can see your cat is happy.
Walks that work around your dog
Not all dogs are the same, so our walks adapt to your dog's needs, fitness and personality.
Solo or small group
Choose one-to-one focus or a small, compatible group. We match dogs carefully for temperament and energy.
Local routes
Baildon Moor, Shipley Glen, the river path and quieter countryside, varied walks with plenty of interesting sniffs.
Pick-up & drop-off
We collect from your home and return your dog tired and happy. No need to be in, we'll handle keys securely.
Puppies & seniors
Shorter, gentler walks for puppies building stamina and older dogs who prefer a steady pace. We go at their speed.
Walk updates
A photo and quick note after each walk so you know where they've been and how they got on. Peace of mind while you're at work.
Regular slots
Weekly or daily slots available. Regular clients get priority booking and a consistent routine their dog comes to expect.
Happy cats at home
Most cats are far happier at home than in a cattery. We visit daily so your cat stays in their familiar territory with their usual routine.
Feeding & fresh water
Your cat's usual food, at their usual times. Fresh water changed every visit. We follow your instructions exactly.
Litter tray care
Litter trays scooped and refreshed each visit. We bring our own poop bags and leave everything clean and tidy.
Play & companionship
We spend quality time, whether that's with a wand toy, gentle chin scratches, or just sitting quietly nearby for cats who prefer company from a distance.
Medication given
Oral medication, eye drops and other treatments as directed. We take careful notes and follow your vet's instructions.
Daily photo updates
A photo and message after every visit. Even if your cat is hiding under the bed, we'll let you know they're fine, and send a photo when they emerge.
Home security extras
We'll water plants, bring in post, open and close curtains, and put bins out, all part of making your home look lived in while you're gone.

Dog walking & cat visit questions
Common questions about drop-in services from Field & Fur in Baildon, West Yorkshire.
Where will my dog stay? + –
Your dog will stay in our family home, not in kennels. They’ll enjoy a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervised rest, just like part of the family.
Will my dog mix with other dogs? + –
Yes, depending on temperament and suitability. We carefully assess all dogs before boarding to ensure they are friendly and comfortable around others. We always prioritise safety, compatibility, and stress-free socialisation.
Can I meet you before booking? + –
Absolutely. We have a compulsory meet-and-greet for new boarders before confirming any stay so you and your dog can visit our home, ask questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
What should I bring for my dog’s stay? + –
You will get lots of information from us once your booking is confirmed, but we ask to bring your dog’s food, lead, harness or collar, bedding if preferred, toys, treats, and any medication they may need. Familiar items help your dog feel settled and relaxed.
Do you take puppies or elderly dogs? + –
Yes. We welcome dogs of different ages, including puppies and senior dogs, provided we can meet their individual care needs. We’ll discuss routines, mobility, medications, and any special requirements beforehand.
Will my dog get walks and exercise? + –
Definitely. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Exercise routines are tailored to your dog’s age, breed, energy level, and owner preferences.
Can you administer medication? + –
Yes. We can administer most oral medications and follow your dog’s normal care routine. Please provide clear instructions during booking.
How do I know my dog is settling in? + –
We regularly send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is getting on during their stay. Many owners love receiving little updates while they’re away.
How far in advance should I book? + –
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during school holidays and summer periods, as spaces can fill up quickly. Early booking helps secure your preferred dates.
