“Alisa and her family were lovely and spoiled our dog rotten! She gave us lots of updates and our dog didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Thanks for looking after her so well, would highly recommend.”


“This is the second time Luke has looked after Murphy and Luke and his family have been fabulous again. Murphy and Luke have really connected, and it’s clear that Murphy loves spending time with him. It’s such a relief to know that Murphy is happy and relaxed when he’s with Luke. Luke really gets Murphy and knows exactly what he needs to feel comfortable. Luke’s calm and patient approach always puts him at ease. The best part is that Luke's family treats Murphy like their own. I’ll definitely keep booking with Luke, knowing Murphy is in such loving and capable hands. Thanks, Luke, for being great with Murphy!”


“Aaron helped us out very last minute with our Dillon's first ever "meet & sleepover on the same day"! We were put so at ease with pictures and updates, and Dillon slept well through the night which is a real testament to Aaron's lovely sitting skills! Couldn't recommend higher!”


About: I have many years of experience as guardian of my own dogs, cats as well as small pets, but I also previously worked for a dog walking company doing solo walks, cat and small pet visits and I helped out with puppy classes. I now offer dog walking and pop-in visits for dogs, cats and small animals. I have also experience with farm animals such as chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs, so don't hesitate to ask me if you need pop-in visits on other animals! Since my own dog passed away at nearly 16 years old this year, I can now also offer boarding in my own home for dogs and cats. I'm happy to walk dogs with additional needs such as reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, recovering dogs etc. I prefer to walk them in a harness for their own safety and comfort, and I will do my best to make the walk as interesting and enriching as possible! Most of all I want their time with me to be pleasant and stress free! I will need to know if your pets have any special requirements such as dietary needs, allergies, medication etc. I'm working Monday to Wednesdays in my day job (working from home), so on those days I'm unavailable for daytime walks and visits. I may be available for evening cat feeds and visits, so please just sent me a message to find out! Thursdays to Sundays I'm available in the daytime as well as for evening visits. Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions :) It can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home and look after your pets while you're out, but I can assure you I will treat your home with the utmost respect and follow any instructions given by you. I can give updates during/after the visit if required to give you peace of mind. I also have an enhanced DBS certificate.

“Excellent as always - it's lovely to know my dog is staying with people who have got to know her so well and understand all her quirks. She barely noticed me leave when I dropped her off, and was happy and relaxed when I collected her.”


“Couldn’t have left my dog Rosie with anyone better, both Jodie and Connor were very attentive, caring, good natured and loving towards her. Sent me pictures and small updates whilst we were away was thoughtful and lovely to receive. Was good to meet up beforehand as well. Thank you! Would certainly come back to them to look after her again :)”


“Katie was brilliant at looking after Scruff. He settled in really well and we got regular updates! Really lovely to see the pics with him and Summer and hear about all their adventures. They got on really well. Thank you Katie for being so great particularly with last minute when house was still not ready to move into!!”


“Lily took great care of Blossom and was very communicative with daily updates, walks and photos. Her dog Willow despite being 4x the size of Blossom was very friendly and they played together. Her charges were also reasonable compared to other sitters in Bristol. Would definitely be using Lily again.”


“I was so grateful that Megan and Jamie were able to step in at short notice to look after Spike. I could tell he had a great time and he was relaxed and happy when I came to collect him. Spike is senior chap now and Megan kept me in touch with his progress and settling in. I highly recommend Megan and Jamie to look after your dog and I will use again if more away work comes up. Many thanks again.”


“Jake was really very good with looking after my two cats, this was the first time they have been somewhere with someone other than family looking after them. Great communication and nice to see pictures of them looking at home. Thank you Jake, will definitely contact you again.”


“Victoria was excellent. Before Nelly’s stay, she took the time to understand what she liked to do and any preferences so we felt very reassured. During the stay, Victoria sent regular updates and we could see Nelly was having the best time. Would definitely use Victoria again - highly recommended.”


“Parker had a great time staying with Sam and Laura for the weekend, he has his cheeky ways but they made us feel very relaxed that he was in good hands. He came back a very happy boy who had clearly had a great time. Would definitely book with them again ?”


“I was a little anxious leaving Enzo for the first time but Natalia was fabulous! He settled well and I'm sure he had wonderful time. Thank you so much! Will definitely be booking him in with you again 😁”


“Laura and her partner took wonderful care of our young dog Rudy! We were visiting Bristol for one night, so even though we hadn't met Laura before we felt confident she would take great care of our dog (which she did!) after our brief meeting.”


“Our dog Otis stayed with Petra and her family for four days and had the best time. We were sent updates and photos of Otis, who was clearly a very comfortable, safe and happy boy. We would definitely recommend Petra and would use her again!”

Leonie B.
“Leo is not only professional but extremely knowledgable with animals. We have cows, hens, dogs and a cat and we’ve always found it so difficult to find someone we trust to look after our very precious animals! As soon as I met Leo, I knew they were all in safe hands. Leo asked if we’d like updates and we said yes, she sent us updates on how everyone was doing and lovely pictures. When we arrived home, the cows were sat right next to the house with her and the dogs were certainly unhappy when she left! We really recommend Leo, she has an extensive history and knowledge of farm and pet animals, her handling and professionalism is second to none. For the first time I felt relaxed and enjoyed our holiday. Thank you Leo.”
