Pet Boarding Portishead

“Tetiana was absolutely fab! We had a nightmare with our kennel booking and needed someone to watch our (rather large) dog at very short notice, and Tetiana came to the rescue. She provided us with frequent updates and photographs throughout our dog’s stay and made sure he got plenty exercise during the day too. She has a huge back garden and her own dog, who was a great play buddy for ours. Honestly, she’s brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone, having already passed her details to other family members who may need her in future. Thanks Tetiana for all your help.”

About: Hi, I'm Georgia and I love animals! I would love the opportunity to meet yours and offer them enrichment, play and exercise. I have experience supporting my friend's pet sitting business, including pet sitting, dog walking and play. I have had dogs my whole life and am confident looking after any age dog and any breed. I have also looked after cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more! I would love you to catch up with you and see how I can help your pet sitting needs. I am currently working part time (with that also including a work from home option). I can be flexible to meet your pet sitting/walking needs, with availability most weekends. I currently have no other animals living with me, and am close to Clifton Downs and Redland Green for easy access to space for your dogs to play.

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have always had a huge love of animals but was never allowed a dog growing up. I am hoping to get a dog of my own in the next couple of years, so am looking to temporarily fill the dog shaped hole in my heart. Through borrow my doggy and other contacts, I have had a lot of experience with dogs in Bristol. I have house sat for a weekend with a King Charles Cavalier. I also met a gorgeous cockapoo in Bristol who I used to take for long walks, have for weekends and was trusted to look after whilst the owner was on holiday for a week, two years in a row. I have also walked another dog and dog sat for long weekends, several times, for my close friend's new puppy. I am very flexible with hours due to being a part time PhD student. Any questions please just drop me a message! I am a part time PhD student and have very flexible hours. I can work from home and can fit my work around caring for a dog. I can walk and sit dogs on weekdays and weekends. I live in an apartment, so when I have dogs stay over I take them out for a short walk every couple of hours for the toilet. I am also happy to dog sit elsewhere, which is often easier.

“We left our 11 month old puppy with Ellie for a long weekend. This was the first time Rosie had been away from us for more than a night so we were expectedly quite anxious about it. Ellie was fantastic! She took time to meet us before Rosie's boarding and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout Rosie's stay. We could tell that Rosie was enjoying her stay very much. She was a very happy and tired puppy when we took her home. We can tell that Ellie is an experienced dog sitter. Would highly recommend. 😊”

This was the first time I was leaving my puppy for a week but Linda put me completely at ease when we first met and during my time away all the lovely pictures and message updates. I could tell my dog had a lovely time and I will definitely be booking with Linda again in the future 😊”

About: I’ve always had dogs (and other animals) in my life and have grown up with a genuine love and understanding of animals. I studied Zoology at university, with a particular interest in animal behaviour. I’m now 29 years old and I work in wildlife film production - so animals have always been a huge part of both my personal and professional life. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, which means I’m able to give dogs plenty of company, attention, love and affection throughout the day. I live in a 1st floor flat (with a lift) right next to communal green spaces, just a 3-minute walk from a large park, and a 15 min walk from Ashton court, so there are plenty of opportunities for pee breaks throughout the day and long evening walks if needed. I’m offering a calm, caring and home-from-home environment for dog parents who would like their dogs to have some company and affection while they’re at work. I’m happy to care for dogs in my own home on my work-from-home days, with pick-up and drop-off from my home in BS3. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, settled and well cared for while they’re with me. I understand each family has different “rules” and training for their dogs and am confident in making sure the same structure is followed under my care (eg. If they aren’t allowed on the couch at home I’ll ensure the same is followed with me). My priority is to make sure your dog has a lovely, relaxed day filled with plenty of attention and affection. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays and so initially I’m looking to offer dog sitting at my flat on those days. I would be open to overnight stays too, and longer boarding once I’ve gotten to know your pup and they’re comfortable and familiar with myself and my space. I think it’s important to build a relationship first with you and your pet to ensure everyone has the best experience. I live in a 1st floor flat with a lift. There is communal green spaces right outside the flat for those all-important pee breaks, as well as a massive park a 3 minute walk away and Ashton court 15 mins away for those longer evening walks. My aim is to give your dog a lovely day full of attention and company whilst you’re at work, confident that their needs are taken care of.

“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 🥰”

“Dasha and Tom looked after Misty for a long weekend - they were fantastic, took Misty on lots of walks, and sent regular photo updates of Misty's stay. I would highly recommend them and Misty will be seeing them again soon hopefully!”

About: I have had dogs since I was a child and have always had a special bond with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful young pups and senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I provide loving, reliable care and treat every dog as part of my family. I currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate dog boarding during weekdays and weekends, ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my spacious home with a large garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I also have my own friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo, Poppy, who loves having canine company and can help your dog feel happy and relaxed. I always treat every pet with care, patience, and attention, making sure they feel secure and part of the family while they are staying with me.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, currently have 2 British bulldogs. They are both 3 years old and one was a rescue. We will treat your dogs like our own, they can sit and cuddle us on the sofas no where is out of bounds. There is always someone home so your dogs will never be left. We walk twice a day with our dogs and the back door is always open to the garden. We have lovely walks around us with huge fields opposite and woods. I walk the dogs once in the morning and once in the evening. I have woods and fields opposite my house. I have the back door open all day so garden is always available. I have a large fenced garden. There are also gated fields opposite my house. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house. I have a big kitchen/ lounge where they can sleep with sofas.

“Zia had an awesome 3-day stay with Tom and his partner! They were both so friendly and easy-going, and it was obvious from the start that they really love dogs. I got loads of photos and regular updates, which was brilliant and made me feel completely at ease. Zia looked so happy the whole time and came back relaxed, content, and clearly very well looked after. A huge thank you to both of them for taking such great care of our old lady. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, mainly cats, but also have experience with looking after our family dog. I love walking and being outdoors, so would love a pup to walk with! I’m currently studying full time, but currently I am available most days to provide care as it is the holidays. I enjoy going for walks so i’d love having a pup to accompany me. I will be happy to care for your pet in your home and make sure they are happy and entertained. I will be happy to do anything you require.

“Bea was a wonderful sitter for Lily while I was away for two nights. She sent updates and photos and it was a relief to know that Lily was in good hands.”
