Dog Walking Bristol

“Liz is a quick and reliable communicator when making arrangements to walk my young Labrador Larry. She kindly came to mine for pre-visit to meet Larry and collect the key to my flat. She followed all instructions thoroughly and all went smoothly. Would recommend.”

About: I've grown up with multiple family pets including dogs, hamsters, fish and guinea pigs and now own a gorgeous kitten. I'm very used to reactive/nervous dogs (I'm close with two) and have had lots of experience with elderly dogs, puppy training, multiple cat homes and kittens. I'm the go-to pet sitter for several people and would love to help out some more fur-riends! I'm currently working part-time so I'm around most of the week for pet playtime and care. I live in a top floor flat with no garden so won't be able to host, but am readily available for lots of drop-ins and walks, and house sitting if required. During a drop-in, walk or stay, pets can expect lots of attention and warm interaction. One of my favourite things is winning a furry friend over with treats and learning what their favourite toys are.

“Amanda was fab! She came & met us before the day she was going to walk Mischief & asked all the right questions. She took excellent care of her on a super warm day, I felt Tiny Dog was in safe hands. Thank you!”

About: Hi! We are Tom and Holly a reliable and easygoing dog lover couple based in Bristol. We have both grown up around dogs and have experience looking after a range of breeds, from energetic working dogs to more relaxed companions. We understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so we will always take the time to get to know them properly—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company at home. We treat every dog like they’re one of our own, and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for is our top priority. Holly has got past experience with reactive dogs and having to use support aids such as prong collars. Dog breed experiences: Tom - Labradors, Cocker and Springer Spaniels. Holly - German shepherd, Labrador, Rottweilers, Akita, Collies, British and American Bull dogs. We are also both very active going on long walks and runs, and we are more than happy to take a high energy four legged friend with us. Since moving cities this is our first time on rover but we are looking forward to meeting your dogs and loving them just as much as you do! We both work flexible jobs, whereby we can work from home up to 3 times a week finishing at lunch time on a Friday. Allowing us to have full flexibility when it comes to looking after your dog. This means we can dog sit Thursday - Monday. With a day either side if required Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We take time to understand your dog’s routine, behaviour, and any specific needs before we start. In your home, we stick closely to their normal schedule to keep things familiar and stress-free. We’re confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be reactive or need extra care on walks. We always handle dogs safely, avoid risky situations, and keep a close eye on their behaviour. You’ll get regular updates with messages and photos, so you always know how your dog is doing. Our aim is simple: a calm, safe, and caring environment where your dog feels comfortable and well looked after.

About: I currently work at a dog day care where we house over 30 dogs per day in an outside/inside environment where the dogs play and interacted with each other. From this i’ve learnt how to monitor dogs behaviour and reactions to certain situations or environments. I’ve had animals my whole life, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Sheep etc and i have experience with multiple breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs! I’ve learnt how to train dogs from puppy’s to an elderly aged dog who just needs some help with their age. I’ve had cats throughout my life and love their quirky personality’s, I understand how some cats want their own space and how some want some gentle company! Ultimately I love dogs and cats so much and do anything I can to help them out and treat them like they deserve, I treat all animals as if they are my own! I am also fully trained in dog CPR and first aid I’m Fully available on Tuesdays to care for your pet, but on the other week days I finish my main job at 5pm so I would only be free in the evenings 5:30-10pm. I’m also free on Saturdays and Sundays to help where ever I can! I am able to safely keep your dog or cat in a safe environment at your home, Constantly keeping an eye where they are at your home and making sure there’s no way for them to hurt themselves whilst you’re not there or any areas that they have the chance to get out of, I promise to leave your home with a happy pet that has been treated how they deserve. If you would like me to take your dog to a certain area to walk i own a car harness! I’m also fully trained in dog CPR and first aid

“Mariana was great! Very communicative in the lead up and throughout the time that she was looking after Spots. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“Rafaela took my poodle Otis for near daily walks during a particularly busy fortnight. She was punctual and communicated well. Otis had a good walk and was always happy and tired on his return. She took lovely photos during their walks which was great to see. Would recommend. Many thanks!”

About: Hii my name is Yuting you can also call me Tess. I just finished my study at UoB and am working at Bristol city center. I have a beautiful white cat called Mushroom back home. She’s an adult cat that we’ve been blessed for seven years of her lovely company. I love cats for their mysterious little habits, silly moves and most of all, their trust and devotion to their human companion. I love to be silly with them and enjoy their little purrs!

About: I've never known life without a dog- I've grown up around them since birth. I love all dogs, big or small, but I have particular experience with big breeds and rescue dogs, having owned them myself (including my Scottish Deerhound) and grown up training and caring for them. I've spent years dog walking for neighbours, family and friends, and regularly help my mum, who's a professional dog walker, with her round. I've also done local dog sitting back home in Suffolk. Having moved to Bristol, I'm excited to bring that experience and genuine love of dogs to new clients here. I’m currently taking a break from employment so have all the time in world! Whenever you need a sitter or walker, I can be available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and all other animals. I have experience taking care of my partner’s family dogs for the past 3 and a half years. One of them was a senior jack russell terrier who was 17 years old, and recently a 10 week old bull terrier puppy. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s by Research degree at the University of Bristol. Because it is not a taught program, my schedule is very flexible and I am able to commit to almost any time in terms of availability. We can always work out what is best for you and your cats as aside from a meeting on Friday afternoons, I will be available anytime to meet your needs. I will try my best to abide by the things you have in your home. Unfortunately, I do not currently have a litter box or any cat-related things in my flat in Bristol so it would be difficult for me to have your cat over unless you are willing to bring over some of your things. In terms of your own home, I will do my best to be respectful and clean up after myself and the cats as much as possible. We can work out how you want things to be done and what you are most comfortable with ❤️ I have just recently taken care of a cat in an airbnb while visiting Dublin and it was a really smooth experience due to great communication from the cat’s owner.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had a variety of pets since I was a young child. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, so I'm confident adapting my care to each dog's individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable and loved while they're with me. Growing up, I had a Lurcher, an English Bull Terrier, and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which gave me experience with very different temperaments and energy levels. Since then, I've regularly looked after many other breeds and have become comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and requirements. I'm patient, understanding and affectionate. I'm confident handling different temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, lots of playtime, or simply wants someone calm to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I am currently not working after taking a career break, which means my schedule is very flexible. I'm able to work around your needs. I'm happy to care for your dog in your home, especially for larger breeds, as I live in a one-bedroom flat. Caring for your dog in their familiar environment can also help them feel more relaxed and comfortable while you're away. Your dog's safety, wellbeing, and routine will always be my top priorities. I'll take the time to understand their individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), favourite walking routes, and any behavioural quirks or preferences. I always follow your instructions carefully to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I'm also happy to discuss your dog's specific needs beforehand so we can make sure they're receiving the best possible care while you're away.

“Becky was great and is so lovely, and took Bruno on such a fab long walk in the park! He was tired and happy when we got home later in the day. Thank you!”

“Amber is great - I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. As an anxious dog he has various things that make him nervous and we do training to work with him on this. We did a meet and greet beforehand where she took care to learn about my dog’s personality and training routine. While I’m stuck at work, it’s lovely to see the photos of Bobby having fun on his walk 🐶”

“Belem took the time to come and meet our dog and get to know us before our family holiday. She took our young cavapoo for 11 walks in total while we were away and they bonded brilliantly. My parents really appreciated the help. Whilst away we received some regular updates and pictures which was great as she is our first dog and we all missed her. Highly recommended 😄”

About: My family had cats growing up and I regularly look after people's dogs! I love taking dogs out for walks, I love being outside and always think having a dog gives the walks more purpose! I am responsible and will make sure they are well looked after. I will give your pets lots of love and attention. Since being on Rover I have walked dogs and looked after cats, dropping in for visits. I really miss having a cat and would love the opportunity for more cat time and cuddles! I have recently moved back to the UK after living in Vancouver for 3 years. I moved to Bristol a couple of weeks ago and am keen to meet some new dogs and cats! I have completed 6 trusted housesitter visits which I absolutely loved. Whilst I am in between jobs I have plenty of time to care for pets and go for dog walks! I always ensure there is fresh water, stick to the food schedule outlined by the owner but give treats to the pets as a reward. I am responsible so if necessary can give medicine to the pets. I always give them lots of attention! They are an easy distraction for me.
