Dog Sitting Portishead

“My first ever cat sitting experience and George was excellent. Met him before the booking and knew I could trust him to watch Yukino. He gave updates and sent me picture when he was there. She was happy when I returned and all glowing.”

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: I have dog and cat-sat since I was 12, including elderly cats, for my neighbours as well as being brought up with 7 dogs, I also have my own cat right now who I have had since being a kitten thus giving me experience with babies. In terms of dogs I have taken care of a Jack Russel puppy, a Golden Lab, Dalmatian and Shih Tzu's. I have also been in households with dogs and cats at the same time, which has given me experience with handling multiple animals and different animals at the same time. I currently am seeking part-time employment to save up for uni, but I am unemployed as of right now. I also have a car so I am free to travel and as a student on summer break I have much free-time and any plans which do come up are always flexible around your needs. I can always be trusted in your home as a long-term pet sitter and babysitter as well as previously working in two school environments. I have plenty of training on safety as well as the communication skills and experience to understand your needs from me.

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: We’re Nat and Chris, and we’ve been proud to call Bristol our home since 2017. With 7 years of experience in dog boarding and 14 years of lovingly raising our own dog from a playful puppy to a cherished elderly companion, we’re dedicated to providing a warm, secure, and nurturing home-from-home environment for your furry friend. It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to our beloved Coco 🌈, who filled our lives with joy, deepened our understanding of dogs, and forever touched our souls. We adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, with a special place in our hearts for shy ones, drawing on our lifelong experience with dogs and cats. We’re with dogs at home all the time 😊. We do not accept large groups—instead, we carefully match and introduce only dogs that get along well and enjoy each other’s company, ensuring a calm, stress-free stay for everyone. There’s nothing we enjoy more than sharing long, joyful walks through nearby woods, parks, and forests with our guests. Our three-bedroom home offers plenty of space for your dog to feel at ease, complete with a large, securely fenced garden. Plus, we’re just steps away from the beautiful Kings Weston House and its expansive open common area—perfect for adventures and relaxation. We know how much your dog means to you, and we treat every pet as if they were our own, with the utmost care and respect. We’re flexible with timing and thoughtful about pick-up and drop-off, making the experience as smooth as possible for you and your pet. To keep you connected, we’ll send daily updates with photos, sharing the happy moments of your dog’s stay. We’d be honoured to welcome your dog into our home 😊. I provide personalised dog boarding in a small, home-like setting — maximum 5 dogs at once.
Solo boarding is welcome, but please book in advance ☺️ We have a big open plan living room and kitchen area so there’s lots of space for you pet to roam free. There is also a garden out the back and Kings Weston House 5 minutes around the corner!

About: I have experience caring for animals of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I am currently studying veterinary medicine, so I’m confident handling dogs with different health and behavior needs. I’m also patient, calm, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, a little training support, or just some company and cuddles, I would love to help out. I’m currently off on my summer holidays from university, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days during the week and weekends, which means I can easily fit walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting into my routine. I amways follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable. Whether I’m staying over or just visiting, I make sure they get walks, food and playtime. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats of different breeds and ages (I love them all !!) ensuring their protection aswell as many cuddles. I’ve also got lots of experience in babysitting children from ages 4-12 I have plenty of time in the day, throughout the week when I am not working. I love being outside, walking, exercising, so pet care fits my routine perfectly. I can adapt my care to each individual animal, and i’m confident I can protect your pet from any unsafe environments outside the home aswell as keeping them protected in the home.

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.

“We couldn’t be happier with Julie’s dog-sitting services! She took care of our two dogs for six consecutive days, dropping in to feed them, let them out for bathroom breaks, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Every day, she sent us wonderful updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. Reliable, professional, and kind—Julie is fantastic, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾😊”

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.
