Pet Sitting Portishead

About: Since I was a child, I have been very attached to animals, in my neighborhood I always walked and took care of my neighbors' dogs as a teenager and especially my neighbors who were elderly and unable to walk their dogs. I don't have animals because I came from Brazil and couldn't bring my animals, so now I'm looking for new animals that I can care for and love because I feel good and happy around animals. So I found this way to accomplish this. I take care with a lot of safety and most importantly with a lot of love and affection so that besides me, he also feels happy and loved!

“Charlotte did everything that I asked her to with Moose making sure he was well fed, had some play time, a walk and cuddles. I’ll definitely use Charlotte again.”

About: I am a recent graduate with a lifelong love and interest in animals! I spent time living in the USA pet sitting and dog walking in San Diego, and I really fell in love with the relaxed dog centred lifestyle in California and Arizona. I also volunteered as a dog walker with a local shelter for a dog walking program focused on helping rehabilitate their shy dogs. These experiences have really shaped my outlook on pet care and I hope to help your pets feel happy and at home with me. I’m a kind and trustworthy dog lover. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else, which is why I make sure your pet’s comfort and happiness come first. I’d be so happy to care for your pet and I hope to meet them soon! 🐾 Please read before booking ! Please check my calendar and message me to double check availability. I require ~5 days notice before the desired dates are booked (new bookings only). I will aim to update my calendar once a week. If you are booking with me for the first time - I like to schedule a visit before accepting bookings so that you have the opportunity to decide if I am the right sitter for you and your dog. If you have not booked with me before, please ensure that the booking request is made at least 5 days in advance of your desired date/time for house sitting, boarding. For bookings > 5 days, I typically request that you submit your booking request 7 days in advance and arrange a meet and great. I often suggest you book an evening or one night to see if I am the right fit for your pet and also to better understand their routine for longer bookings. If you have previously booked with me - I am able to provide dog sitting and boarding in East Bristol and in Portishead (whichever is most convenient) I am able to provide dog sitting in East Bristol and Portishead. I have a fenced garden. I also have a chilled out dog who would love to make friends with your dog. I am happy to make any adjustments to my home that you think your dog might prefer. When I have previously done in-home boarding, I mostly spend time alongside the dog keeping them company even if it is just cuddling up watching tv while I draw to make sure they feel at ease. I always prioritise how your pet feels and respect their boundaries and needs.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. I regularly look after a Beagle and an English Bulldog, and I’ve also had dogs of my own including two Jack Russells, a Rottweiler and a French Bulldog. I’ve been around all different types of dogs, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I really enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I know how much people worry about leaving their pets with someone else, so I’d always make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and well looked after while they’re with me. I’m currently taking a career break, so I have a really flexible schedule and can fit pet care around your needs. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timings for walks, visits and sitting. Having lots of free time means I can give pets plenty of attention and I’m not rushing off to work or other commitments. I’m happy to work around your routine and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they’re used to. When looking after your pet in their own home, I’d want to keep things as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I’d stick to their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention. I know some dogs can feel unsettled when their owners are away, so I’d make sure they get lots of company and reassurance. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s their feeding routine, favourite walks or any little things that help them feel at home. I’d treat your home with the same respect I’d expect someone to have for my own, and I’d keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is happy and being well looked after.

“Martin was fab! Communication was great and he made our very anxious old dog feel settled. Would definitely recommend!”

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.

“Gil has been a great dog sitter. He’s looked after my dog throughout the day and also drop ins. He follows all my instructions and requests and makes sure my dog has quality time when he visits. He is reliable and great at prompt and clear communications. We will definitely be using Gil again.”

“Katy made a drop in visit to see my dog, she sent me notifications of arriving and leaving as well as photos of my dog playing in the garden. Katy visited for a meet and greet before the drop in and spent over half an hour learning everything that she needed to know about the house and my dog. I will definitely use Katy again and recommend her. She is very experienced and confident around dogs.”

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.

“Eamon has been looking after our puppy, Buddy for several moths now. He has been absolutely brilliant - Buddy is a massive fan. He did several weekly drop in's for me while I was at work and was always reliable and punctual. Eamon provided lots of phots and updates and seemed to genuinely love spending time with Buddy. I could trust him 100% in our home with our pet. I would definitely reccomend him! Thank you”

“We asked Rebecca to look after our cat Llama while we were away for a few days. She came over a few weeks before hand to meet Llama which was great and it gave us the chance to prep Rebecca for the weekend. While we were away, Rebecca kept us posted regularly and sent us a few photos of the cat, which we really appreciated! We will absolutely be booking Rebecca again in the future! 😊”

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.

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.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I've grown up with pets my entire life, so looking after animals comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily routines involved in keeping pets happy, healthy, and well cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering lots of cuddles, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I genuinely enjoy every part of caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I'm happy to adapt to their routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care for pets. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or companionship, I'm able to fit pet care comfortably into my day and ensure every pet feels happy and well looked after. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, as well as any medication if required. I respect your home, keep it clean and secure, and will provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands.
