“We've seen Ed around the area when looking after other dogs, so we contacted him to take Hugo for a walk on a day we couldn't be home. Ed has been very professional and great with Hugo. He came by one evening to meet H before the sitting, and he was absolutely fantastic in his approach to getting to know H. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Martin was brilliant with Rocco. He's a 18 month Olde English Bulldog, and very strong. Rocco and Martins personalities matched straight away. Very gentle and fun. Martin really gets stuck in and interacts with Rocco and gives him the attention he craves from everyone he meets. He also is building up a trusting strong bond with Rocco and doing re-calls with him. Martin is confident which is what reassured me that he was the right person for Rocco, as he can still show some puppy traits. I would definitely recommend Martin as a good match with any dog because of his warm, caring and confident personality.”
“Amanda was exceptionally easy to communicate with - super responsive and prompt, and Bonnie came back from her walk very happy and panting hard, which is always a good sign!”
“Would definitely be in contact again with Suriani in the future if I need help with my dog. Not only was she super lovely, kept me updated with how my dog was doing but her communication was unmatched. Thanks Suriani!”
“Jasmine has started taking diesel out on weekly walks whilst I’m at work. He’s a reactive dog who is hesitant with new people but when meeting Jasmine he immediately went up to her and was even relaxed enough to follow her instructions. Due to his anxiety he has refused to leave the house with many dog walkers - but within 10 minutes diesel happy to leave the house with her. I wish we found her sooner and excited for the diesels walk again on Tuesday!”
“Charlotte helped me with a couple of walks when I wasn't very well. She was responsive, prompt, very good with my dog, provided photos and responsible. Thanks Charlotte!”
About: We're a couple who both grew up with family dogs and look forward to having our own one day. George was the sole trainer of his family terrier from puppyhood and knows how to build trust with dogs. We have also spent a lot of time with a close friend whilst he trained a farm dog but mostly we know how to let a dog have fun! Luckily our friends and families have lots of different dogs and so we have experience with all shapes, sizes and personalities from many group dog walks or after looking after them for extended time. On and off walks we know how to, and it's our top priority to keep your dog safe and happy. Myself and George (my partner) both work from home so can look after your dog any day of the week and on weekends. We are very flexible with timings, give just us a message as nothing will be too much. We are both very active and love to get out for a walk or sit in the park before/after work and at lunch time and would love for your pet to join us! We can take your pup on many adventures to the local park, woods or further afield. Alternatively if they prefer to stay at home we are more than happy to provide cuddles and let them roam around our home and garden. When caring for your pet in our home, their safety and comfort are the top priorities. We live in a secure ground floor flat with direct access to a private, fully enclosed garden perfect for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our space is calm, clean, and pet friendly an ideal space for your pet to relax and feel at home.
“Gabi has walked Sylvie twice so far and has done a great job! She’s communicative, professional and is clearly very interested in dogs! I’d highly recommend her if you need a reliable walker 😁”
“Nicola has been walking Minnie (our Cockapoo) for a while now. She is absolutely amazing with Minnie. Nicola is great at sending photos and letting me know when she has walked Minnie. She always makes sure Minnie has a bowl of water before she leaves. Also, Minnie always looks sooo happy in all her pics thanks to Nicola. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I always have had animals around since at my parents had garden and love for animals. We had a tortoise, some hamsters, a rabbit, chicken and duck. Also some birds were staying in summer! But the most I have learned has been from Shana, we were together 14 years and was the best doggy ever! I can pet dogs after work. What it means at 1700. And also I take care of the animal just moving in the house for the time needed when humans are travelling. I do prefer to go to pet owner-s home since then I my furniture stays out of damage! haha No but I think its always better for animals. I like to meet before in a park and play together. Then I am an active person, who likes to take the animal involved in daily living as much as possible. I try to train them, like doing long walks, running after toys, practising obedience by cycling with them...
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats since I was a small child. I loved cat and dog sitting for other people when I was travelling in NZ and Australia, it made me feel less homesick getting to have that furry companionship. I'm a Science Teacher on summer holidays so I have full availability throughout the weekday and weekends to provide the best care for your pet! I live in a flat near the city centre so I have quick access to parks all around. I also drive and would love to take your pet on longer walks in the beautiful areas around Bristol.
About: I'm a 3rd year vet student with an interest in positive reinforcement training. I have a passion for all animals. I also have experience caring for pets with separation anxiety. I'm excited to provide your pets with utmost care! I have a flexible schedule with most of my Wednesdays and Weekends free. Do chat with me to confirm dates that will work best for you! I have a park near to my apartment where I can take your pets to play. And ample space in my living room for them to roam and explore :)
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. Whenever family or friends go on holiday, I am always the dedicated dog sitter or dog walker. I really love dogs and walking so it combines two of my favourite things in life! I work mostly from home so have a lot of time to love, care, play and walk with dogs. Our family dog recently passed away so I would really love to be around dogs again as I miss it dearly. I currently work from home, 3 days a week with a very flexible schedule meaning I can walk, play and give pets lots of love throughout the day, and walk them before work and also during my lunch breaks. I am free therefore on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and some weekends, but will need to check in advance :) I have a shared grass garden for your dog to go in and all doors are secured also. I can crate your pet if you wish me to, and am happy to treat your dog the way you would at home.

sandra m.
“I highly recommend Alex as a dedicated and compassionate pet carer. She consistently show genuine love, responsibility, and attentiveness toward every animal she looks after. Whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or providing companionship, Alex goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Her reliability makes her a trusted choice for any pet owner.”

“Very happy with Mariana's walks. She responded with no fuss to our last minute requests, arrived on time, takes good photos and the pup seems to enjoy herself and comes back tired.”
Olivia S.
“I would completely recommend Olivia as a pet sitter and boarder. I have been lucky enough to use Olivia to both stay in my home to look after my cockapoo Sam and my two cats Luna and Felis, as well as general pet sitting while I'm away. Olivia is kind, responsible and clearly loves animals. It's actually a huge relief to know she can look after my fur babies and they'll get all the care (and attention!!) they need. The house is always immaculate when I come back, and Olivia never bats an eyelid at any request (eg, Felis needs to not have his food mushed up but Luna likes it like that). She also looks after my plants as a bonus, which is brilliant. I'd recommend Olivia to anyone!”
Chloe Yi Xun T.Star Sitter
“Chloe is a very loving, responsible and reliable caregiver. She has a safe and clean space for animals and is a loving dog mom. Bonus for the fact that she is an upcoming veterinarian, she keeps her pet healthy and well-nourished.”
