Pet Boarding Portishead

About: Have a scroll through my photo album to meet all of the happy boys & girls here at Dollhouse from play time in the large, super secure garden (as seen in the photos), to walkies in the park, and tired cuddles on the sofa, the dogs in my care will be loved like they are my own! It is important to me that as pet owers you feel completely relaxed and know your dog is being taken great care of while you are away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and made to feel as comfortable and happy as possible on their little holiday! 🐶 I have had many dogs of my own throughout my whole life and taken care of the dogs of friends and family for many years. I am now in a position to offer my services to other people full time. I work from home full time so will always be here with your dog. They will get regular walks in the local parks, and I have a nice big secure garden for them to play in too. Being with me will feel like a home from home for your dog, they will be loved and cared for as I do for my own. I work from home full time, the dogs will be able to roam the ground floor of my home and the nice big secure garden that we have here, and keep me company in my home office! At lunch time your dog will get a long walk. Additional walks per day depending on how long your dog is here. I have a lovely big secure garden for your dog to play in. My whole home is secure due to having a dog of my own. I have a room for the dogs to be crated in if that is your preference while I am out or during the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your preferences and your dogs needs.

“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!”

“Bowie was so well looked after! Tanya kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. He was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time when we picked him up. Thanks so much for taking such amazing care of our beagle. We’ll definitely be booking again! Nat, Pat & Bowie xx”

“Linda was fabulous ! Very communicative with photos sent everyday. We felt very relaxed whilst away as we could see Marley was being beautifully cared for.”

“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!”

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 us 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. As she'll be sharing both our home and daily walks with visiting dogs, I only accept dogs that are comfortable around other dogs and enjoy living and exercising alongside a canine companion. Booking Requirements To keep everyone happy, healthy, and safe, I can only accept dogs that are: Fully vaccinated Up to date with flea and worming treatments House-trained Spayed or neutered Friendly and well-socialised with other dogs I look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and treating them as one of the family while you're away. For Dog daycare Drop off times: 6am-9.30am Collection times: 4pm-6.30pm For boarding for a minimum of 7 days I can pick up and drop off your dog for and additional fee providing you are within a reasonable distance. I do two walks a day (60-75 mins) sometimes a 3rd if I fancy it. I'll only accept dogs that can be trusted to walk off lead (reliable recall)/ walks reasonably well on lead and house trained. If I have your pooch for the week I'm typically restless by the weekend and we will troop to Wales or further SW I have a fenced large secure garden, downstairs is dog friendly free roaming and secure with direct access from the living space to the garden.

“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.”

“Joshua has been taking great care of Kamyk as well as sending regular updates throughout his stay with our puppy! Would recommend”

Giorgio B.

“Ellie really helped us with a last minute request to look after our big doggo, Rex, and she even agreed to meet & greet to make sure Rex was comfortable with her and the space. Ellie constantly kept us updated and even sent us some photos during their walks too. I could tell Rex had a great time with her and her housemates too! Would defo recommend and book her again, Ellie will keep your doggo happy and well taken care of :)”

About: My courses in animal communication and dog training will give me a great foundation in bonding with your pet! I am very confident, knowledgeable, and experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and behavioural/medical needs. More info below :) I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I’ll be in Bristol for uni holidays - so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s)! My availability is in blocks of several weeks at a time, available on my calendar, which I regularly update. If I’m over yours, I’ll walk your dog(s) at the times you give me - 1-2 hours of daily walks are included in housesitting, and up to 30-40 mins for each dog walk / drop-in visit. If your dog is over for daycare, I’ll walk them at the same time as Juni, unless you let me know otherwise - for example, if they need shorter walks or a slower pace, or are reactive to other dogs out on walks. Juni gets 2 walks a day, totalling ~1hr, but she will adventure forever, so we can more than accommodate a more active lifestyle! We live very close to lots of green spaces, including parks, Ashton Court, and our favourite enclosed space to run and meet other dogs, Southville Bark Park. I will stick to what your pet is used to! Please let me know their daily routine plus anything else they enjoy. At mine, we have both a front door and porch door, so your dog is protected if they try and have an outdoor adventure of their own! We also have a baby gate on the stairs, and the downstairs has everything we need. At yours, please let me know what’s allowed and what’s not for your dog, so we can stay consistent with boundaries.

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.

“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!”

Christopher W.

“Natalii & Chris looked after Whiskey & Otto over the New Year, and we couldn't be happier, nor could the dogs, judging by the pics, which were very welcome. I couldn't recommend Natalli more, comms were great, dogs got lots of walks and looked v happy. Thanks for all your help, Damjan”

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.

“Étháin was wonderful with our dog Cooper. She sent plenty of pictures, is a great communicator, and we felt completely relaxed while he was with her and her partner Liam. Cooper came home very happy and tired after a wonderful weekend in their company. Thank you :)”

Elena R.

“Jacqueline and her family are absolutely perfect to Buddy. They give him so much love and playtime, along with plenty of nice nature walks. He enjoys his time with them so much! Highly recommended to anyone looking for good care for their pup.”

Joseph H.

“Katie and Louis are fantastic. We have a very anxious puppy who isn’t a very big fan of other people or dogs at that. They both went out their way to meet Gibson before we booked him for a stay so we could ease him into their care. They were so patient and kind to my little guy and I cannot recommend them enough.”

Aliciah C.

“Elena was great with Misty - she sent lots of photos and kept us updated regularly, and Misty clearly had a brilliant time with her. Recommended!”

“Charlotte took our Mini Schnauzer Otis for the weekend while we got married, including bringing him to the venue for a bit so we could have a few photos. She completely understood his behavioural quirks, sent lovely updates of his day and very quickly connected with him across the weekend. She put us completely at ease and we would absolutely recommend Charlotte to anyone.”

“Amanda was amazing and Arthur loved her. Sent regular updates and photos keeping me in ease. He returned home a happy boi! Definitely added Amanda on my Rover favourite dog carers!”
