Canine cuddles, pats & downtime

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by dogs forever and always had one in my life - whether it be life long family dogs, rescues, fosters, etc. I am particularly experienced with Boerboels, German Shepherd, and large breed mixes having grown up with them. I currently live in Southville in Bristol and know what it's like to be a busy professional pet owner and have the comfort of having someone I trust be able to take care of my dog when work/travel calls. Nowadays I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home often and so am happy to offer daycare and/or boarding services for those who don’t want to leave their pet home alone or in kennels. I have a bungalow flat with a secure fenced garden. We are a walk away to Greville Smyth Park and a short drive to Ashton Court, Abbot’s Leigh, Long Ashton and Leigh Woods so your dog would have plenty of exercise, a safe space and at least 2 walks a day while she/he stays with me. I'm also happy to provide videos and photos during the stay. I often have Ralf at the house (2 yr old ridgeback). He’s calm and happy to give a dog their own space. Any new dog visiting would have to get on with Ralf so I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. Rest assured that if boarding or daycare, your dog will be indoors as much as they want and will be treated as part of the family and there are also dogs beds out for lazy naps! Happy to help out as and when required. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me :)

Flavia has walked and trained Luna. Luna is a complex dog who can be aloof and over react in some situations. Flavia was very calm, patient and understanding to my concerns and helped me read Luna's body language. She engaged and built trust with Luna when walking and training her with very positive energy. I would highly recommend Flavia for walking, training and looking after any pet. Sam W

Flavia took great care of Ted and was very friendly, keeping me updated throughout. Her dog is a big softie and Ted got on fine then them and the other dog staying at the same time.

Flavia was really wonderful with our 8 month old cockapoo - she took time to meet her and walk with her before the first visit, to make sure she got on well with her own dog, Ralf, and during the daycare sent lots of messages, photos and videos to keep us updated. She took Maggie on some lovely walks and gave her plenty of treats, and generally we felt very comfortable and would have no hesitation at all about letting her care for Maggie again.

Ivy loved her stay with Flavia and our dogs got on perfectly (despite one being huge and the other mini!)! She arrived home sleepy and content. Lots of pictures and videos put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend ? 10/10

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks to meander and sniff around. I find street walks tend to overstimulate some dogs sometimes so we usually head to quieter areas around Bristol with fields or woods. Typical day includes one morning walk and one evening walk with a shorter potty break in between. I find most dogs are happy to snooze around the house during my workday if we’ve done a good walk in the morning.

I work full time and can either work from home or at the office (which is dog friendly). I usually walk twice a day (in woods or nearby fields) so your dog will get plenty of exercise. Alternatively, they’re welcome to laze around in the secure fenced garden if they don’t need much exercise.
