House Sitting Portishead

“Charlotte has been amazing right from our first contact. She came to my house to meet my dog and spent over an hour with us learning everything that she needed to know. She also met us for an hour and a half’s walk before I left so that she could get to know my dog fully. While I was away I got regular updates and photos which was very reassuring and the house was left exactly as before. I’ll definitely use Charlotte again and it’s great to have someone local that I can trust and rely on.”

“Holly was absolutely lovely and looked after Sully for an evening while we went out for dinner. Sully was really settled when we got home and Holly was so polite and courteous in our house. It was lovely to know he was being so well looked after while we enjoyed an evening out :)”

“Ellie and Sasha did a great job house sitting for our 9month old puppy for a whole day. Communication was good before and on the day, we received an update after their walk with lovely photos. They kept our house clean and tidy, we are now planning on their next booking - thanks both !”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for almost 10 years, until I left my parent’s house. Beside that I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs a couple of times. I work during the day, but I can walk your dogs in the evening and on the weekends. I’ll be more than happy to do it I had my family’s dog for almost 10 years. I still miss Bob. I love to take care of dogs. They make my day funnier :)

About: 🐾 Are you worried about leaving your anxious dog, rescue dog, or new puppy with someone they don't know? I completely understand. Finding the right person to care for your dog can feel like a huge decision. We all want to know our dogs are safe, happy, and cared for by someone who genuinely understands them. That's where I can help 💛 👋 Hi, I'm Vicky! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and care for multi-dog households across Portishead, Clevedon, and the surrounding North Somerset area. A little bit about me — when I'm not with dogs, you'll usually find me exploring local woodland trails, countryside walks, and coastal paths 🌿🌊 I've always loved being outdoors, which means I'm constantly discovering new dog-friendly places to enjoy with my four-legged clients! My journey into dog welfare began through volunteering in rescue and rehoming, including supporting Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and PetRehomer 🏡 Working with dogs from different backgrounds taught me just how much patience, understanding, and consistency can help a dog build confidence and feel safe. Alongside pet sitting, I also have experience working in dog daycare environments, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels 🐕🐕‍🦺 From energetic spaniels and doodles who are always ready for their next adventure, to nervous rescue dogs who need a little extra reassurance, I've learned that every dog is different and deserves an approach tailored to them. A huge turning point for me was caring for Elvis 🐶 (pictured in my profile), a Covid dog with severe separation anxiety. Helping him feel safe, settled, and confident sparked my passion for canine behaviour and inspired me to continue learning everything I could about welfare, training, and emotional wellbeing. 🐾 Dogs I Particularly Enjoy Working With 💛 Nervous and sensitive dogs 💛 Rescue and rehomed dogs 💛 Puppies and young dogs 💛 Small and companion breeds 💛 Poodle crosses and doodles 💛 Dogs who thrive on routine and consistency 💛 Multi-dog households Every dog is unique. Some love adventure and enrichment, while others are happiest with calm companionship and a predictable routine. I tailor my care to the individual dog in front of me. 🎓 Qualifications & Ongoing Study 📚 Clinical Canine Behaviour (currently studying) 🩹 Canine First Aid 🐕 Dog Training Studies 🥩 Canine Health & Nutrition 🐾 Therapy Dog Qualification 🌈 Pet Loss Grief Support I'm also fully insured 🛡️ and DBS checked ✔️ 🌿 Walks, Adventures & Quality Time Whether your dog enjoys a gentle sniff-filled stroll, a countryside adventure, woodland trails, or coastal walks, I tailor every walk to suit their personality and needs 🐾 One of my favourite parts of the day is watching a dog settle into their walk at their own pace. Sometimes that means exploring somewhere new, and sometimes it means stopping to investigate every single lamppost! 😄 And yes... for the dogs who firmly believe 🎾 BALL IS LIFE 🎾, I am more than happy to join in! 🏡 Why I Focus on House Sitting Many dogs cope best when they can remain in the comfort of their own home. Keeping familiar surroundings, smells, routines, and sleeping arrangements can make a huge difference, particularly for anxious dogs, rescue dogs, and puppies still building confidence. When caring for your dog in their home, I'll maintain their usual routine as closely as possible while providing plenty of companionship, enrichment, exercise, and cuddles along the way. 📸 You'll receive regular pupdates, photos, videos, and honest updates throughout, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. ❤️ My Promise Safety, welfare, and kindness always come first. I take the time to understand every dog's personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely comfortable while you're away. One of the best parts of what I do is seeing a nervous dog slowly relax and realise they're okay 💛🐾 💌 I'd love to hear about you and your dog! If you're looking for calm, reliable care from someone experienced with anxious, rescue, and sensitive dogs, feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to arrange a relaxed meet and greet before booking and answer any questions you may have 🐶💕 I mainly provide care in the pet owner’s home across Portishead, Clevedon and surrounding North Somerset areas, as most dogs are happiest and most relaxed in their own environment 🏡🐶 I keep your dog’s normal routine consistent — feeding times, walks, rest, and house rules.

“Charlotte took the time to come and meet me and Bonnie prior to the first sitting - which was a 2 week booking! Bonnie warmed to her immediately and they had a great 2 weeks. I was kept updated with photos which I love. Bonnie was well looked after and I could enjoy my break knowing she was safe. Will book again!”

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: 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.

“Seb and Fra were sensational!! Would thoroughly recommend them and will definitely use them again. Cedric loved them and they treated him and our house with such care and respect. Thank you Seb and Fra!”
