Pet Boarding Portishead

“Mac loved his stay here, with Kylie, her lovely family, and their dog Remus. He ran in when we arrived, and Kylie updated me throughout with photos of the two dogs loving playing together! Perfect!”

“Emma was fantastic with my two year old chocolate labrador. I am going to take our dog to Emma next time. He was cared for very well and it was a lovely mini holiday for our dog. I feel it was a much more fun experience for him rather than using kennels.”

About: I’ve always deeply loved animals ever since I was a child. I’ve always had a huge respect towards them and I truly believe that the way people treat animals says a lot about their character. In the last 5 years I spent a lot of times taking care of my friends dogs - a very much talkative dachshund and a Hungarian vizsla, two completely different breed with different personalities. Every time I take care of them I always make sure we have enough time for training and I try my best to help them exercise their brain. But the most important part is that me and my other half have a sweet and calm, very patient long haired dachshund girl called Mango who’s 10 years old and we put a lot of energy, love and time into training her. She is just everything to us. I’m also a very talkative person myself and I love talking to animals and I absolutely believe that talking to them truly matters and they do listen to you, so whatever is the agenda for the day I love sharing it with my dog and with other dogs as well! I have a small business and also a part-time job but I’m not working at the moment due to a small injury with my right wrist, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup. Right now I’m available from Monday to Sunday, throughout the whole day, but there is always a day or two (usually a Monday and / or a Tuesday) when me and my partner have some chores to do in the first part of the day but I’m still available from the afternoon! Though I live in an apartment, the building is at a dead end with a walking pathway in front of us with lots of trees and plants, birds chirping everywhere. We also have a shared garden with high wooden fence so there’s plenty of space for a quick toilet break. I have a 10 years old very calm, patient and friendly dachshund girl called Mango so your doggie will have a little companion. We also have a lovely balcony where my dog loves sitting and just chilling and watching people come and go. Our apartment has 2 bedrooms, a long hallway and a spacious living room so there’s plenty of space for playing, chilling or for a crate. I personally don’t have a crate but if you do have one you can bring it with you.

“We needed sitting while we went to London for the day and came back to a very happy and well exercised dog! All the pics looked like Bart had so much fun.”

“Kata and her partner were amazing through the whole process. We got multiple updates of photos and videos while we were out for the evening and our dog seemed to be having a great time!”

“My doggie absolutely fell in love with Ellie and that’s the best I could ever ask from a sit while I’m away. Ellie did a fantastic job updating us every day with pictures and videos and generally my little girl’s mood, activities et cetera, it was very sweet. Ellie is a really really lovely girl with a very relaxed style that animals seem to love. I will 100% use Ellie’s pet sitting services again and I strongly recommend her. Thank you, Ellie!”

“Otto had a fabulous weekend with Tom and Molly! They took him for some lovely walks (and swims), we were updated with photos, and he has obviously been very well looked after. Thank you! We will be back very soon.”

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: Hello! I work from home full-time, so your dog will enjoy constant company, plenty of attention, and a calm, structured routine throughout the day. I share my home with my friendly 4-year-old Labrador, and guest dogs quickly become part of our family life—whether that's relaxing beside my desk while I work or curling up in the living room for a nap. I am just minutes away from several fields and lovely walking routes, and your dog may even be lucky enough to join me on a trip to the beach. Every dog enjoys plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and play. I never care for more than two dogs at a time, so if your dog prefers a quieter environment or is more of a homebody, that can easily be accommodated. I have experience administering oral medication and will happily follow your dog's medication schedule exactly as instructed, ensuring they receive the same level of care they get at home. Home & Secure Garden When we're not out on walks, your dog will have free access to our fully enclosed back garden. It has 6-foot fencing and secure gates, giving them a safe place to stretch their legs, sniff around, play with toys, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. Meet the Resident Host My 4-year-old Labrador Retriever is friendly, sociable, and loves having canine company.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, so getting to spend my time looking after pets honestly feels like a win win! I’m the type of person who will say hello to the dog before the owner 😂 I’m really caring, patient and attentive, and I love getting to know each pet’s little personality whether they’re super energetic and want to play all day, or a professional napper who just wants cuddles on the sofa. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, including walks, feeding, playtime and any extra care they might need. I’m also more than happy to look after younger pets who need a bit more attention and supervision, or older pets who prefer a slower pace and lots of TLC. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention and cuddles while you’re away. I’ll also send you plenty of photos and updates, because I know I’d want to see what my pet was getting up to! I’m a university student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care around my day. 🐾 I’m able to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether they need regular walks, feeding at specific times or just some company and attention throughout the day. I’m happy to spend longer periods with pets that don’t like being left alone, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of playtime, cuddles and attention. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be worrying, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and being well looked after. The safety and comfort of your pet would always be my priority. 🐾 Whether I’m looking after them in your home or taking them out for walks, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, supervised and kept to their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll always be respectful of your home and make sure everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding routines, where they’re allowed to go, medication or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages and let you know how they’re getting on. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about your furry family member! 🐶🐱💕

“Tracey and Simon looked after our boy Buddy for a few days while we were away. It was a last minute booking as we'd been let down by family, so we were a little nervous as first time Rover users. Tracey and Simon put us at ease immediately. They have a real passion for dogs and were super understanding of Buddy's character and background. They made sure he was safe and loved the whole time he was there. We had daily videos and photos which we loved! Most importantly, Buddy settled in like he was part of their family and absolutely loved staying with them. We won't look anywhere else now for Buddy's holidays! We've found his people and trust them 100% with our boy. Thank you Tracey and family for loving our boy and taking such great care of him.”

“Joshua was an absolute life saver when our dog sitter fell through at the last minute before our wedding. Joshua communicated well and was able to take Theo for the whole weekend. Joshua updated us with pictures and congratulated us on our wedding day. Theo was happy and content on ohr return which was great to see and Joshua said they'd had a lovely weekend. Would highly reccomend Joshua and will happily use him in the future.”

“My dog Albie had the most wonderful stay with Diya (Maya) and Momo. Diya really cared for him so well and sent me lots of lovely updates so I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. She clearly really loves and understands dogs and was very patient and caring with him, and took him for lots of walks. Thank you so much for having him 🥰”

“Amy was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Compass! 🐾 We couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave him. She spent lots of quality time with him, took him outdoors, trained with him, and even worked on learning new commands. It was clear that she genuinely cared about keeping him happy, active, and engaged. ☺️ Compass had such a wonderful time with Amy and came home very happy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much, Amy! 🤩🐶”

“Farley had an excellent time with Jackie and family and seemed to settle in really quicky. Jackie took lots of effort to find out all about Farley's needs and we felt that she was really well looked after- she came back a happy pup!”

Emily S.

“Jason was great at looking after my dog Buddy. He was genuinely excited to take him for a walk in new places that he thought Bud would enjoy. Buddy was fed at the right times and given plenty of attention each day. Jason's home is very well kept and has a fantastic garden space which Buddy enjoyed chilling in 😎. He took note of the things Buddy does and doesn't like. He also provided a very calm environment for Bud, always trying to make him feel comfortable. The area in which Jason is situated seems to be quite tranquil, which imo helps give a positive holiday-not-so-far-away feel for my dog. 👌🤙 we'll definitely be in touch again in the future. Thanks!”

“Linda looked after Ralphy for a long weekend and was absolutely fantastic. He loved his stay. Would definitely recommend Linda and would 100% have Ralphy stay with her again”

Alice A.

“Kelsey & James took amazing care of Mischa; We were so impressed with the regular updates and photos and how they managed Mischa's reactivity, which can be challenging. Mischa got looked after perfectly with lots of walks and a sunny spot to laze about in - her idea of heaven! Can't thank Kelsey & James enough for giving us peace of mind knowing Mischa was being well looked after whilst we were away. Highly recommended!”

Hannah C.

“Very happy would highly recommend!”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was young and grew up with my own cocker spaniel. I have previously taken her to regular puppy classes, obedience classes, and agility classes! I am happy to look after younger pups or older dogs. When I am working from home I usually do a morning walk & a lunch time walk or evening walk - always get my 10,000 steps a day - so would love a pup to join me! I have experience looking after smaller and bigger dogs. I work flexible full time hours, working from home four days a week (just not on Thursdays!), meaning I am able to do both a shorter morning walk and a lunch time or evening walk. I live in a four bed house with 3 friends. We have a small fenced garden. We live locally to a popular dog walking park. No other pets in the house.
