Cat Sitting Portishead

“Caitlin has been an absolute hero. We booked her last minute for a week’s cat sitting, and she was super helpful, sending daily updates and photographs. We came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely be back in touch in the future!”

About: I am a recent graduate with a lifelong love and interest in 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.

About: I work part-time from home (in Portishead), which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit cat visits around my working hours. I'm available for daytime visits as well as evenings, and I'm happy to provide weekend visits when needed. I can be flexible with visit times and will always do my best to work around your cat's usual routine, helping to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave them responsible for your cat while you’re away. I’d always be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand, so we can get to know each other, you can show me around and we can make sure you feel completely comfortable with me caring for your cat. During visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep to your cat’s usual routine, while making sure your home is secure and treated with care and respect. I’m also happy to send photos and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, happy and well cared for.

About: I work part time for the NHS (no more than two days per week), and teach yoga two evenings per week. So I am very flexible on times I could visit your cat. As a cat owner myself I know how important it is to have a trustworthy cat sitter to go into your home. I want you to feel safe and happy that both your pet and your home will be respected while you are away.

“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!”

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.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 14yrs, so many years now! From puppyhood to elderly dogs. I have also looked after friends & neighbour's pets. I am am now retired & can enjoy taking care of even more furry friends. I'm happy to meet & greet to hear all of your pet's lovable habits which I will adher to. From just having strokes & cuddles on the sofa or a game or two! I am happy to take care of your pet's in their own home for any needed time & however far. Their happiness & safety are paramount, so you can be worry free while you are away. I will always send a daily message or photo of your loved pet & it's daily activity.

“Jessica did a fantastic job of looking after my two cats this weekend. She arranged a proper handover before we left and kept us updated throughout our trip - it was so nice to receive pictures and videos of our cats looking happy. This was my first time using a cat sitter and I really feel Jessica went above and beyond; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and we have already booked again for our next trip.”

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.

“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 !”

“We asked Rebecca to look after our cat Llama while we were away for a few days. She came over a few weeks before hand to meet Llama which was great and it gave us the chance to prep Rebecca for the weekend. While we were away, Rebecca kept us posted regularly and sent us a few photos of the cat, which we really appreciated! We will absolutely be booking Rebecca again in the future! 😊”

“Millie was amazing! She was so reassuring as we had just moved house so our two boys were quite nervous and stuck indoors, but she did everything asked and more including good communication and photo/video updates, feeding, litter and cuddles! I would definitely book her again. Thank you Millie!”

About:

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.

“Lucy was great for my cat. She looked after her like she was her own. My cat adored her and was seen waiting for Lucy to arrive on multiple occasions”

If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity levels to where your pet is more comfortable. I have got experience with large and small breeds. During your pet's stay I prefer you provide your pet’s food so it does not disturb his/hers stomach by changing diet. I am DBS checked, first aid dog trained.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for the last 10 years, working with dogs of many breeds. I have looked after and walked dogs from puppy age right up to those senior years. I have spent a few times a year dog sitting for those in the area since I moved here in 2015. I am available Thursdays and weekends I am happy to do what is required on these days - due to my own pets I am up early always. I am available over Christmas and new year as well as school holidays. I do not care for people’s animals in my own home. I am happy to come and walk your pet or even just let them out or sit with them for a while. I believe in the important of building a good relationship with the family as well as your beloved pet so that trust is built with everyone.
