Doggy Day Care South Gloucestershire

“Tamara was very friendly and welcoming. Milo had a lovely day and Tamara kept us updated with photos. We really appreciated that Tamara invited us around before hand to chat, which put us at ease with leaving our dog with her. Will definitely be using Tamara again in the future.”

About: My wife and I adore dogs (any animals really!) We help our family and friends regularly with dog sitting or walks. We have recently moved into our home which has a large, safe and secure garden. Our home has plenty of fields/parks nearby or quieter side streets to suit your dog’s needs and preferences whilst out on walks. We can provide your dog with love and affection all day as we both work from home so there is no need to leave your family pet alone. We would love to help where we can! My wife Lauren and I work solely from home so we are always around. We are in our early 30’s so have plenty of energy to give your pet. Our home is safe and secure with a big garden. We are both active so walks will be no problem, whatever breed you have and the needs they require, we will ensure we meet them. We have a lot of love to give. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of grass for them to run around. We have a spare bedroom to make your pet feel at home, or if they need to be kept in a crate overnight and would prefer being downstairs, that’s not a problem either as we have plenty of downstairs space. We can be adaptable to your pets needs.

“Great comms, friendly, and very accommodating for Cooper who can be a bit anxious around new people. Cooper is already looking forward to his next visit 😊”

“Blue had a wonderful time with Petra and her family. He loved playing in the garden and was completely tired out when he came home. We will definitely book again!”

“Felt very confident that Max had cared for our dog nicely for the day. Walked her safely, made her feel welcome on the sofa etc. She related warmly to him. Would certainly book again. Thanks Max.”

“Molly and her partner took great care of our Labrador, who came back to us calm and clearly very content. They were professional, friendly, and communication was very easy throughout. They were really attentive to Leo’s needs, and he clearly enjoyed his time with them. We look forward to booking with them again and would highly recommend their service.”

“Remi has stayed with Liz for daycare several times and has had a great time! Liz is really friendly, communicative and makes sure all Remis needs are taken into account whilst being very patient with his puppy antics! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I'm Kerry! I share my home with my family, and a Cocker Spaniel called Bran. I've had dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love their company. Since bringing Bran home, I've spent a lot of time learning about the needs of active and busy breeds. I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation and, I enjoy incorporating training, enrichment and sniffy walks into my dog's day. I'm home throughout the day so your dog would have lots of company and I can offer flexible walks and drop in visits that suit your dogs schedule. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog as I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while they're with me. Your dog would be treated like part of our family. I have a flexible schedule and will be home throughout most of the day. My husband works from home, so if I pop out, there will still be someone around to give your dog plenty of attention and care. I am able to offer two walks a day and your dog would never be left alone for long periods of time. I can offer walks and drop ins througout the week. If your dog needs a lunchtime walk, some company while you're out and a toilet break, I'm happy to help! I have a secure garden with plenty of space so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time. For any dogs staying with us it's important they're comfortable with family life and happy to spend time with my dog. Like most spaniels, he's sociable and enjoys play when meeting new dogs, but settles well afterwards. That said, I also have enough space to provide separate, quiet time. Meet and greets are always welcome to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. For drop ins and walks, I'll fit in with your dog's usual routine as much as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.

“Amazing, we drop Milo off every Wednesday and he is very well looked after. Thomas and his partner love him and treat him like their own. And Milo is very happy to see them :)”

“Victoria is excellent and we recommend her highly. When we first booked, we had a long conversation on the phone to discuss food/ behaviour/ triggers etc and we felt very comfortable that our boy was being thoroughly cared for. Thank you again!”

About: Hi, I'm Aaron and I'm pleased to offer dog sitting services.

 Although I have none of my own, I've been fortunate to live with dogs and cats in a variety of situations and locations. I've also fostered cats for a local charity. I enjoy bonding with all kinds of animals and I've exercised horses and cared for ducks and chickens. 

I've house/pet-sat for friends and strangers who've become friends. I have a terraced house in Staple Hill (BS16) with an enclosed high-fenced garden. I'm a few minutes walk from Page Park but also enjoy walks around nearby Overscourt Woods and (disused) Shortwood Golf Course and surrounding fields. I have a spacious estate car that can cater for muddy and excitable pups!

 I work very flexibly from home and so whilst with me in the house your pet will have as much attention or calm as it needs.

 Thank you for reading my profile! If you think I could be of assistance please get in touch any time.

 Kind regards,

 Aaron I work very flexibly from home and so whilst with me in the house your pet will have as much attention or calm as it needs I have terraced house in BS16 with an enclosed high-fenced garden. I've house/pet-sat for friends and strangers who've become friends. I have a fully verified and reviewed profile on Trusted Housesitters which I'm happy to send you.

“Samuel did a great job caring for our Labrador. Leo came home relaxed and happy, which says a lot about the care he received. He was welcoming, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. Leo was clearly comfortable with him, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

About: I have had pets since I was a child, dogs, birds, rabbit and even looked after our neighbour's ducks when they went on holiday. We often look after Anna, our friend's dog when they go away, and Anna loves staying with us. Going for plenty of works and sometimes even joins to watch my son's football matches. I work from home twice a week with flexible working hours and we are home most weekends. I love going for daily walks and being outside, and pet will have the best time joining me on my works with regular water breaks. I have a fenced garden and no other pets, so your doggo is safe with our full attention. We also have a lovely field across our house with plenty to sniff about.

“We left our 10 month old pup for the first time with a sitter! Dominic kept us updated with photos and I felt very comfortable and happy my pup was well looked after. Thank you!!”

“Callie really enjoyed her day care experience with Marketa and her family. Thank you very much for looking after her so well. I will certainly use Marketa again in the future. I highly recommend her care services. Karin and Callie”

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a strong connection to them and a real sense of comfort being surrounded by their energy and companionship. I grew up with dogs, cats, and many other animals, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbours often trusted me to look after their beloved pets as well. My closest companion was a little Maltese who stayed by my side for 16 wonderful years, until she sadly passed away in December 2022. After that loss, many people continued reaching out to me for help with their pets, and that’s how this new chapter began. The space left by my lifelong companion slowly opened the door to many new furry friendships. Alongside my experience with animals, I also have extensive training in caring for people and children, as well as a Master’s Degree in Psychology. While caring for animals is of course unique in its own way, many of the same qualities apply: patience, empathy, attention, and understanding. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel their animals are safe, loved, and well looked after. If your dog will spend the time with me, I'll dedicate complete attention to your little friend based on his/her needs and his/her routine full time. :) ABOUT THE BOOKING: I need two weeks notice for more than 1night, couple of days for day care and once in contact I always schedule for a first meeting. The meeting is about 15/20 minutes outside or inside my flat if we both feel comfortable with. It is free, so no charge for it. Please be aware that there is NO OBLIGATION to accept your booking after the meeting. This is why the meeting was created for. I accept booking no more than 1 month in advance, no more than 5 days in a row. I can make exception for small and very calm, relaxed dogs or dogs that have already stayed in my flat and don't require too much energy. Please remember that I take care of one pet at a time so you will have a better chance of having the days you are looking for if you confirm before the others. This is why the first meeting is important, it allows you to have priority. When create your dog's profile, remember to add photos and all the required information. As a sitter I also decide and need the information you share with me! If you have more than one pet, Rover needs one separate profile for each one of them. Please be honest and clear about your dog HEALTH. Please note that I am unable to take responsibility for your dog’s health during your holiday if there are any existing or uncertain health concerns. Before boarding check with VET if: - Diet is correct and that there is no risk of loose stools and upset stomach. - The dog scratch, bite their skin or showing any signs of discomfort. Please maintain hight level of HYGIENE. - Make sure your dog is clean and free from fleas or ticks before the booking. - Treat the dog with appropriate medications (spray, drops or collar) specially during ticks season (April - October) In case your pet spends one or more nights in my flat, I request a text message (email or a paper) with all the dog routine INFORMATION, contact details, equipment list, food, medication and so on. I also offer daily PHOTOS and VIDEOS. You can monitor the state of happiness of your pet while is away from you. :D I simply care for your pet the same way I’d hope someone would care for mine. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I’ll do everything I can to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet! VERY IMPORTANT: Please be kind when you request a booking and during a meeting. I offer my home and my personal space that I share with another person. Is my home therefore I DO NOT TOLLERATE any rude, destructive, offensive behaviour. I also do not tolerate any inappropriate, noisy, intruding comments or questions about my personal life. Please be respectful because I will be respectful with you. Let's maintain a friendly and polite conversation. :) I am here to offer a service and there is no reason why I should feel uncomfortable in my own home. Unfortunately this has happened in the past and I wish it didn't happen again. ABOUT DOGS AND SIZES: What if you have two dogs? I can make an exception following this criteria for a House Sitting in mine: - if the dogs are from the same owner; - if they have training or good behaviour indoors and no problem with furniture and plants; - if they are calm and relaxed; - if they weight no more than 10kg; - if they are used to not too large spaces; - if the booking is no more than 1 nights; In your House? - if they are calm and relaxed; - Drop in visit only.

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love having them around. I’m especially experienced with calm, friendly dogs who enjoy a relaxed home environment and plenty of attention. I work from home, so your dog would have lots of company and would never be left alone for more than a couple of hours. My home is calm, structured, and caring — ideal for dogs who settle well and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, and tuning into each dog’s individual needs. I’m confident supporting good behaviour, gentle boundaries, and helping dogs feel safe and settled. Your dog would be treated like part of the family and cared for just as I care for my own. I work from home, so I’m around all day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, company, and care. Dogs would never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I’m able to offer two walks per day, along with a consistent routine, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m flexible and available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I have a secure, fully fenced garden, so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time. My home is calm, structured, and set up to help dogs feel relaxed and settled. Our cockapoo Mabel is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. That said, I also have space to keep dogs separate within the home if needed, so I can accommodate different needs and ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.

About: Do you have a furry friend who needs some company during the day? I have worked as a freelance sitter on and off for the past ten years for a small group of clients, and am now looking to expand my customer base. I have a sweet lurcher, called Lenny, who loves to play. He is good at matching other dogs’ energy, and very sociable! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes (Fromm Maltese to Mastiffs!) and am knowledgable about dog behaviour and body language. I work flexible hours during the week and work from home, so I can provide continuous care for your dog. Doggy day care includes one walk at midday, usually around 1hr but this can be tailored to your pet. My garden is fully fenced, mainly with 6ft fencing. There are a couple of spots that are 5ft tall, so let me know if your pup is an escape artist! For dog walking, all new dogs will be exercised on lead unless in a safely fenced location. Even dogs with great recall can sometimes have selective hearing with new people! For recurring bookings, we can discuss the safest way for your dog to be off lead if this is something you’d like. I typically provide 3 updates a day, so you can rest assured that your dog is in safe hands.

“Madeleine was great with Leo! She accepted a last-minute booking, was really flexible and kept me updated. Leo felt at ease and had plenty of exercise. I’d happily book her again!”

“We and Marnie love Duane! He looks after her so well - that we can confidently leave her with him, knowing that she is having a great time and is being well looked after till we return.”
