Dog Walking Portishead

“Martin has been fantastic! Always on time, has taken him out for the correct length of time and rain or shine! He’s great with communication, I can’t fault anything. Morris has loved all his walks with Martin and came back all tuckered out. Feel lucky to found such a great walker! Thank you!”

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.

“Lola really enjoyed her walks with Katy, who was friendly, relaxed and really easy to communicate with. We would definitely use Katy again and Lola is pleased she has a new friend!”

“Sol is lovely, flexible, and very helpful. Jack has a great time on his walks - we can clearly see hoe much fun he is having from the videos and pictures during the walks. He greeted Sol like an old friend on the 2nd time of meeting her, and is more than happy to leave us! :)”

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: Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m an experienced and passionate dog carer with a strong background in animal welfare. I’ve volunteered as a dog boarder for Guide Dogs UK, cared for rescue dogs as a walker with a local dog charity, and walked pups through BorrowMyDoggy. I also have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals at an animal rescue charity. As I have grown up with a dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or company, your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me! -NO LONGER ACCEPTING BOARDING IN MY OWN HOUSE FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT- -BOOKING IS ONLY CONFIRMED ONCE CONFIRMED IN THE APP- I am a part-time remote online student so I am fully available throughout the week and able to give my full attention to your pet. I have a non-smoking, no children, and no pet household so it is safe for reactive dogs. There are also plenty of walks around my house to take your pet on if you wish.

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: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I enjoy caring for senior animals or animals with special needs that may need some extra care, but also have raised both puppies and kittens in my lifetime! I am a calm, gentle person and I know how to act around animals of any personality types & needs, for example if you have a skittish/nervy cat you can rest assured that I will approach your pet and your house with care and precision as to not startle them. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine as I have a very flexible schedule. I am available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and I’m more than happy to spend quality time with your cat rather than just popping in for a quick visit. I understand how important routine and companionship are, so I’ll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away :) I care for every cat as if they were my own. At home, and when cat sitting, I make sure the cats are always well fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays, and plenty of love and attention. I am more than happy to look after any cats of any ages and have experience with cats of all ages including kittens and senior cats. I love spending time playing with them, keeping them entertained, and giving them lots of cuddles whenever they’re in the mood for affection! When caring for a cat in an owner’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I will happily spend time keeping them company and giving them cuddles if they enjoy them. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, happy and cared for while their owner is away. Whether you have one kitty or 20, I will be more than happy to look after them.

“Kaci's always walked our boy, Bernie, regularly and is always amazing! She agreed to walk Bernie with my parent's dog, Charlie for us. They always seemed tired afterwards and are happy! She always makes sure the dogs have water to drink and refills them before she leaves. Wholeheartedly recommend Kaci's pet services! Super considerate and friendly, punctual and always great at communication 😊😊 thank you again, Kaci!”

About: Friendly, reliable and experienced & based just outside of Bristol. I’m experienced and confident with a range of dogs and have walked and cared for a number of different breeds and ages. Having my own dog and struggling to find someone I’d comfortably trust her with, I empathise with owners when searching for a solution when you’re tied up with work or other commitments! I understand and can be flexible with your dog’s routine, whilst also striving to give them an exciting and stimulating walk. I’m currently working flexible hours and have a lot of free time to dedicate to walks/drop-ins and pet-sitting. Having recently started my own dog walking / dog sitting business, I have the experience and time to commit to caring for your much-loved pets. I often have more spare time in the week, but can usually accommodate weekends too if given enough time notice! I have a flat with a fenced-off decking area with access to lots of fields just over the road! I have a car so I’m able to travel to your home to care for your dog too. I’m happy to fit in with your dog’s routine and your expectations where I can.

“George was brilliant! He was able to accommodate me at short notice, for which I was very grateful. Polo had a lovely time with him and George took some great photos to show what they got up to 😊”

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.

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.

“It has been pleasure working with Nikoleta, who is very pleasant and reliable. Milo, our Cockapoo can be reactive sometimes however Nikoleta handles him very well and always provides feedback after the walk. Milo is always very happy to see Nikoleta. We will definitely continue to use Nikoleta for walking Milo whenever we need help in future. We would recommend Nikoleta to anyone who requires dog walking.”

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: Dogs have always been like my best friends, and I’ve loved caring for them from a young age. I’ve been looking after all kinds of dogs since I was 12, and now, at 22, caring for dogs is something I genuinely love doing. There’s honestly nothing I adore more than dogs. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for. Whether they’re energetic and love a long walk, or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be difficult, which is why I take the responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience and attention I would give my own, while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and having a great time. My goal is simple: for every dog I look after to feel safe, loved and excited to see me again! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet care, and I can work around the individual needs and routines of each dog. I’m reliable with timings and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise and care. I’m also happy to provide regular weekday walks for owners who need ongoing support. The safety and happiness of every pet I care for is my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality and individual needs before looking after them. I keep dogs supervised, secure and comfortable, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and routines. During walks, I use appropriate leads and equipment and stay aware of traffic, other dogs and the surrounding environment. In my home or the owner’s home, I aim to create a calm, clean and welcoming environment where dogs can feel relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and I want owners to feel completely confident that their pet is in safe hands.
