Cat Sitting Portishead

About: I am a recent graduate with a lifelong love and interest in animals. As a child, I would draw my own pet sitting “business cards” and leave them for neighbours so that I could feed and play with their cats after school. I eventually moved on to dog walking as a teenager, and since then I have continued to look after all sorts of different animals! I spent time living in the USA pet sitting and dog walking in San Diego, and I really fell in love with the relaxed dog centred lifestyle in California and Arizona. I also volunteered as a dog walker with a local shelter for a dog walking program focused on helping rehabilitate their shy dogs. These experiences have really shaped my outlook on pet care and I hope to help your pets feel happy and at home with me. I’m a kind and trustworthy dog lover. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else, which is why I make sure your pet’s comfort and happiness come first. I’d be so happy to care for your pet and I hope to meet them soon! 🐾 Please check my calendar and message me to double check availability. I will aim to update my calendar once a week. If you are booking with me for the first time - I like to schedule a visit before accepting bookings so that you have the opportunity to decide if I am the right sitter for you and your dog. If you have not booked with me before, please ensure that the booking request is made at least 5 days in advance of your desired date/time for house sitting, boarding. For bookings > 5 days, I typically request that you submit your booking request 1 week in advance and arrange a meet and great. I often suggest you book an evening or one night to see if I am the right fit for your pet and also to better understand their routine for longer bookings. If you have previously booked with me - I am able to provide dog sitting and boarding in East Bristol and in Portishead (whichever is most convenient) I am able to provide dog sitting in East Bristol and Portishead. I have a fenced garden. I also have a chilled out dog who would love to make friends with your dog. I am happy to make any adjustments to my home that you think your dog might prefer. When I have previously done in-home boarding, I mostly spend time alongside the dog keeping them company even if it is just cuddling up watching tv while I draw to make sure they feel at ease. I always prioritise how your pet feels and respect their boundaries and needs.

“We left our very energetic 1 year old choc lab with Eamon for visits during a day, we could not have been more reassured during the day with great communication and photos ! When we got back Sid is so chilled and happy , the house is immaculate and a lovely note from Eamon , superb care, so will be booking again ! Thanks so much Eamon !”

“Katy made a drop in visit to see my dog, she sent me notifications of arriving and leaving as well as photos of my dog playing in the garden. Katy visited for a meet and greet before the drop in and spent over half an hour learning everything that she needed to know about the house and my dog. I will definitely use Katy again and recommend her. She is very experienced and confident around dogs.”

About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around pets, have owned both dogs and cats over the years, and now I have my own border collie. My partner and I are both massive animal lovers, and we’ll look after yours exactly how we’d want our own looked after. I offer dog walks – plenty of time for sniffing, playing or taking it steady, whatever they like best. I also do home visits for feeding, fuss and play, plus overnight sits. I’m happy with all ages, breeds and personalities, and just as comfortable caring for cats as I am dogs. I know how worrying it is leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates to keep you in the loop. I’ll always stick to their usual routine so they stay happy and settled. Looking after and playing with my puppy Guinness is a part of my and my partner's daily routine. On Weekends & Bank Holidays we often go out for especially long walks and would love to bring another dog along with us for a friend for our dog! We have vast experience of dog walking. I understand that every animal is unique and has different needs and will care for them in a way that is best for each and everyone of them. Caring pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner’s absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain in their home environments.

About: Over 20 years dog and cat experience, I'm reliable, loving and fit. Nurturing and playful with lots of time and attention to give to your dog. I'm a writer so have plenty of time to walk and care for pets. I find they curl up under my desk or on my lap while I work. In the summer they garden with me. I have a big home close to the coastal path with secure gates and CCTV. I provide a safe, loving, home from home stay. Dogs that I walk tend to want to stay with me! I only look after dogs exclusively from one family so the environment is peaceful and calm.

“McKenzie is our go-to cat sitter who genuinely enjoy looking after our cat. They always make sure she’s happy, well-fed, and gets plenty of playtime and cuddles. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos they send and keeps us relaxed knowing the cat is safe and happy! We 100% recommend McKenzie!”

I was very confident that everything was in very safe hands. It is clear that she loves cats and they love her! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you v much, Daisy!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I've grown up with pets my entire life, so looking after animals comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily routines involved in keeping pets happy, healthy, and well cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering lots of cuddles, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I genuinely enjoy every part of caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I'm happy to adapt to their routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care for pets. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or companionship, I'm able to fit pet care comfortably into my day and ensure every pet feels happy and well looked after. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, as well as any medication if required. I respect your home, keep it clean and secure, and will provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands.

About: My background as a professional animal trainer with 10 years of hands-on experience, including working with a wide range of species means I have a deep understanding of animal behaviour and behaviour modification. This helps me read body language, prevent issues before they arise, and support pets who may be anxious, reactive, or who struggle adjusting to new environments. I place a strong emphasis on high welfare standards and kind, ethical handling. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable supporting young animals as they learn good habits, and providing thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra consideration and everything in between. Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind. We are animal care professionals with years of experience and a love for all animals. Our bungalow is enclosed and has a garden designed to be engaging for dogs and cats through paths and scents.

About: I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for several years now, and have loved meeting and looking after so many peoples precious animals! I’ve cared for dogs and cats young and old, am happy dealing with their little quirks and pet peeves, and any additional needs they have too :) I currently work from home and am happy to be available in the early morning, lunch time, or after work or dinner, and will spend the day with your animal - they can and often do join me for meetings via Zoom! I pet sit from (your) home and am more than happy to provide endless attention throughout the day, and walks whenever they’re needed! Photos can be provided whenever requested too, so everyone feels connected.

About: Since a young age both Fra and myself have cared for animals. We both had cats and dogs in our homes since birth and have looked after them with utmost care and attention. In our adult years we have taken house sitting seriously and have cared for several homes and a variety of pets. From dogs and cats, to lizards, frogs and guineapigs, we've cared for them all. Pet care takes priority when it comes to our weekly routines. We have various jobs and hobbies, yet we are very flexible and can usually cater to the needs of the animals are the requests of the pet owner. We always take the pets care requirements into consideration. Most pets will require different attention and we make sure to provide what is required. Whether it's walking, feeding, washing or general health care, we have the experience and understanding to provide great pet care.

About: I like to get to know each dog as an individual. I’m patient with nervous pups, gentle with older dogs, and enjoy helping energetic dogs have fun safely. I grew up with a Staffy and have also spent years looking after and walking pets for friends and family, which has helped me understand different personalities and what makes each dog feel comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I know how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away. I keep in touch with updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. I’ve completed Pet First Aid Level 3, the IMDT 2-Day Dog Training Course, and I also have a DBS check. Combined with my hands-on experience, these help me provide safe, confident, and positive care. I pay attention to little things — like energy, environment, and routine — to make sure every dog feels relaxed and happy. Whether it’s a shy rescue or a playful puppy, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Dogs are part of my everyday life. I walk and care for my dog, Gus, and I also spend time shadowing a trainer, reading, and learning more about dog behaviour. On a typical week, my days include walks, playtime, and small training exercises, which fit naturally around my routine. Pet care is woven into everything I do, and I enjoy how it keeps me active, engaged, and constantly learning. I make sure every space feels calm and welcoming for the dogs I care for. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and pay attention to the little details that help pets feel at ease — whether it’s their favourite blanket, toy, or familiar walking route. I tailor every visit to each dog’s needs, from peaceful strolls for gentle souls to more adventurous outings for pups who love to explore. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I’m fully insured and currently completing a Level 3 Pet First Aid course, so I’ll be ready to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I’m also taking part in the IMDT 2-Day Dog Training Course, building my knowledge in behaviour, confidence-building, and positive reinforcement to give dogs the best possible experience. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your pet, so I focus on creating a safe, structured, and positive environment wherever we are. I keep communication clear and consistent, provide regular updates, and make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and cared for — just as I’d want for my own.

About: I have a wealth of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have always had dogs and cats in the family, and I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with yours! I currently work full time, three days from home (a two-storey flat with a generously sized walled garden). I am very into my runs and general fitness, so would be a good fit for any high energy animals. I am very attentive and considerate of the needs of any pet that comes into my home; from the moment they come into my care I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable, stress free and we’ll exercised!

About: (I have recently moved to bristol and hope to build something with this down here, i have changed my location but havent fully updated my profile here yet) My brother, my mum and I all run our boarding service together :) we have always had a number of four legged friends in the house, we love dogs and cats! We look after friends and families dogs, I (Amy) offer to stay over when they go on holiday. I have volunteered helping with dogs when I have travelled and I am a dog trainer, so I have plenty of experience with handling your beautiful fury friend and lots of time to play and exercise them. I am available for boarding, and house visits vary during the week day, some days I am available in the morning and others in the afternoon. We have a big secure garden and live in a beautiful area for quiet dog walks near a beach. We have 3 friendly dogs but also have the ability to keep your dog seperate from ours. We also have a L crate if necessary. We have no cats. I drive and can collect your pet if necessary or take them for days out. I would like to mention that my 4-star review came from a house sit where the property had an older front door and lock that required a very specific way of locking and unlocking. Unfortunately, one evening the key became stuck and I had to arrange a locksmith, which caused inconvenience and additional cost for the owner while she was already having a difficult holiday due to illness and poor weather. Importantly, the pets were very well cared for throughout the stay, and the owner still left a positive written review. The situation was resolved quickly, and it was a valuable learning experience for me when managing unfamiliar property systems. I am a dog trainer. I spend a lot of my time looking after the dogs in my care and always plan fun things to do with them. I am very active and love to play and train them. We have a fenced garden in our home, we have dogs too but can be kept separate, we have a crate if needed. I have a van to transport the dogs and can go to beautiful walks with lots of exercise. But mainly we will adhere to how we are required to look after the pet from the owner.

About: Ive taken care of my own dog (Yorkie) since I was 10, after that I’ve worked with dogs throughout collage and university. I’ve worked at a groomers, dog behaviouralist and at the vets as a student vet nurse. I can work with big and small dogs alike, with both nervous or ‚spicy’ personalities. I can walk dogs, train them, trim their nails, give them baths and brushed them out (but can’t clip or trim fur due to lack of equipment). I can administer topical, oral and injectable medications and know how to look after puppies, sick / injured, or geriatric dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a bartender (Friday and Saturday nights, and the occasional mid week night shift), so I’m available all week during the day, and most of the week over night. This may change once I find a full time position, however I’d be happy to continue services for regulars or on special occasions given prior notice. I prefer to go clients homes as that’s where the animals feel the safest, but if that’s not possible I’m able to bring animals to my home. I have a few house mates that you might cross paths with that don’t mind animals in the house. I have a big living room, which is where we’d spend most of the time (outside of walks and sleep) and I have a very small garden, however it’s too small to be comfortable long term. During nights, I’d bring the pets up to my room and either put them in a kennel if provided and requested by owner, or will allow them to sleep on my bed (if owner permits). While taking care of cats, they would be kept indoors at all times unless leashed walks are requested, and I’d require the owner to provide a harness, cage or kennel for transport and safety reasons. For pick ups and drop offs, I can only provide this if you are within walking or public transport distance and my main mode of transport is not suitable for pets.
