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.

Isobel also left our home tidy and clean which was a nice added benefit. Highly recommend Isobel and will be rebooking her soon. Thank you Isobel 🤗”

“Aish did a brilliant job with our nervous rescue cat and even managed to befriend her - quite a feat given she usually hides under the bed when new people enter the house. Great communication before and during our trip and lovely to recieve some videos as well. It really set our minds at ease going away.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life - from having my own, to cat sitting for friends and family; I’m extremely familiar with and fond of cats, and would love to get to meet yours :)

“Had an amazing experience with Amy. Had great updates, photos and videos from each visit! Amy came round for a pre-visit and met Bruce and took in everything she needed to know. Bruce is a very shy cat but seemed to get comfortable very quickly. Very impressed with it all and will be booking with Amy again. ”
“Bethany was absolutely amazing with our cat Pepper while we were away on holiday! There were regular updates of how he was getting, including lots of pictures and videos! He seemed very happy and content while we were away, and was even really happy and comfortable with Bethany from the first meeting which is unlike him, so that was another real positive for us! We got home and although Pepper was happy to see us, you could tell he hadn’t really missed us too much which is a credit to how well Bethany looked after him. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was young, I’ve had experience with farm cats that like to be wild and free to domestic house cats who just want to cuddle on your lap. I think cats are such interesting animals all being so different and as a sitter it’s important for me to understand that each cats care is different, when discussing your pets needs I can come up with a plan on how best to treat your animal so they’re comfortable with me!

“Lyra enjoyed her stay with Laura. We were a bit late picking her up and Laura was very accommodating. Was happy to do a meet and greet beforehand so we knew lyra was going with someone who will look after her well.”
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter. Friendly person with great communication. We have to drop Charlie the dog off very early in the morning but this was no problem for Olivia and most importantly Charlie loved her. We will definitely use Olivia again.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience looking after pups of all ages—from playful two-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs over ten. I’ve cared for many breeds, both big and small, including Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Westies, Bichons, Fox Terriers, and Shibas. Each dog has their own personality, and I always take time to understand their needs, routines, and quirks. I believe walks should be fun and engaging, not just the same old route every day. That’s why, whenever I have time, I love taking dogs on mini adventures—hiking in Red Deer Park, exploring Snuff Mills, playing in the river, or spotting deer and flowers in Clifton. Their happiness is my biggest reward, and I love seeing them explore the world with joy and curiosity. I’m incredibly patient, calm, and gentle, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently live in a spacious, pet-friendly 1b1b apartment with plenty of room for dogs to relax, even larger breeds. Whether your pup loves cuddles, quiet time, or outdoor fun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm currently a PhD student, but I work from home most of the time, so my schedule is quite flexible. That means I can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day I live in a pet-friendly 1b1b apartment that’s clean, spacious, and comfortable—even for large dogs. It’s a quiet environment, which is great for pets who are sensitive or prefer calm spaces. I keep the floors clean and disinfect regularly. If I’m hosting a cat, there’s a 2.2-meter-tall cat tree at home that’s always a favorite. I follow each pet’s usual feeding habits and routines carefully, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved during their stay.
“Isabel and Arthur were fantastic with Reggie. The communication was great and they sent some really lovely photographs. When we collected Reggie, he was very happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Jackie is brilliant and couldn’t rate her highly enough. Poppy had three walks during her day and also had the benefit of Jackie’s lap for all of the morning while she was working, which is above and beyond. I saw Jackie walk with her v briefly while coming to my car and Poppy was looking up at her with the sort of adoration she usually saves for family ❤️ Poppy has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always eat or poop when with sitters but not a problem with Jackie. Communication was excellent and from point of drop off to collection I couldn’t have been more reassured. I only met Wally the schnauzer fleetingly but he seemed an absolute sweetheart too. I can highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking dogcare in central Bristol and will definitely be looking to book with her again. Thank you, Jackie - was an absolute pleasure!”
“Bhumika was very welcoming and very lovely with my whippet Nelly! I could tell from the photos that Nelly was very relaxed and taken good care of. Would definitely use Bhumika again for day care.”
About: I have grown up around pets and have lots of experience caring for dogs and other animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have helped friends to train their puppies and in landscaping for many years, people’s dogs were always my favourite part of the job. I will be the main person looking after your dog, with my partner Nicole, an ecological consultant and fellow pet lover, around to help - she has been verified separately by Rover. We’re both confident with energetic young dogs, older pets and those who need a little extra patience and attention. We absolutely love animals and will treat your pet as one of our own. I work in the early evenings running social events such as pottery nights for 20-40 year olds in central Bristol, usually from about 7-9pm. I also have daytime meetings with venues or artists once or twice a week in Bristol or Cardiff. My partner Nicole will be home at these times to care for any pets (including our own cat Mila, who is totally chilled and nonplussed about dogs). Otherwise my time is desk based and flexible and I can accommodate pets that need long walks or a bit of extra care and attention. The garden is securely fenced off and the house is calm and pet friendly. We’re happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication and plenty of play and cuddles. We can keep pets separate or crate them if needed.
“Amanda did a great job with Maple. Communication was quick and smooth and she sent lots of photos. Maple was very happy to see her again and she came home a very happy pup! Would recommend and contact again”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for 30 years (my whole life). My parents have always had Lurchers so I have experience with medium - large sized dogs who love a good walk. I live with my boyfriend who also loves dogs and has grown up with Dalmatians and a Munsterlander. I’m a freelance events coordinator so can be flexible on availability. I will also have the odd weekends free as well as days in the week. I always make sure I’m nearby when looking after a dog so they feel safe and secure. If walking outside I’ll keep them on a lead and if we’re in a garden I’ll make sure it’s securely fenced off.
About: Hello! I'm a passionate Animal Scientist with a big heart for pets of all kinds. My journey in pet care began with my degree in Animal Science from UNESP (Brazil), one of the best universities in Latin America in this field, where I specialised in animal behaviour. For over five years now, I’ve been running my own business, "Casa da Zoo," gaining hands-on experience and a deep understanding of what pets truly need. I’m experienced in a variety of services, including: • Specialised Pet Sitting: I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets—from dogs and cats to exotics—and am skilled in looking after senior pets and administering medications. • Canine Expertise: I offer professional dog walking and training, using gentle and effective positive reinforcement techniques. • Behavioural and Nutritional Support: With my scientific background, I provide professional advice and compassionate care tailored to pets with unique needs. My goal is to give your pet the best possible experience, with lots of love, professionalism, and a true understanding of their individual well-being. I'm excited to be part of the Bristol pet community! I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability throughout the week. I’m ready to provide your pet with the best possible care, offering them plenty of attention and comfort whenever they need it. I provide care both in the owner's home and in my own home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. Whether they’re staying in their familiar environment or coming to mine, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. Before we start, we'll have a meet & greet to go over their specific routines, from feeding to medication, and I'll follow your instructions to the letter. You can expect regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know your pet is doing great and feeling loved. When staying at your home, I’ll always treat it with the utmost respect and ensure everything remains safe and sound.
“Nacho had the best time with Venezia and came back so chilled! Venezia was great with Nacho and she was great at responding quickly too. He can’t wait for his next visit in a few weeks ☺️”
“Kemi is a star! I'm so happy with the thoughtful care she provided for my older girl, Trixie. She was attentive to all of Trixie's need and my (probably too detailed) instructions. And she was so warm and kind. Trixie instantly felt at home when I dropped her off, and was clearly happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I couldn't ask for more! I highly recommend Kemi for any pups looking for a great place to stay.”
“William had a wonderful time with Caitlyn! I received regular updates and photos and was completely reassured that he was in very capable hands. I have already rebooked as I know William will have the best time!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and I’ve pet sitted for friends and family over the years. Now that I’m in my final year of university I’m missing my own pets and would love some time walking, playing and caring for cats and dogs. I’m currently a final year student at the university of Bristol so my schedule is quite flexible :) I can easily fit pet care around my studies and have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care and love they need ! I live in a house with 4 other girls who also love pets so any pet will be surrounded by lots of care and attention. We have a secure garden and are within walking distance to the downs which is perfect for walks. I’d always make sure your pet feels comfortable, settled and well looked after, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any specific care instructions.

“Liz is a quick and reliable communicator when making arrangements to walk my young Labrador Larry. She kindly came to mine for pre-visit to meet Larry and collect the key to my flat. She followed all instructions thoroughly and all went smoothly. Would recommend.”
About: I currently work at a dog day care where we house over 30 dogs per day in an outside/inside environment, from this job and my life I have years of experience with dogs in various situations. I’ve learnt how to monitor dogs behaviour and reactions to certain situations or environments. I’ve had animals my whole life, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Sheep etc and i have experience with multiple breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs! I’ve learnt how to train dogs from puppy’s to an elderly aged dog who just needs some help with their age. I’ve had cats throughout my life and love their quirky personality’s, I understand how some cats want their own space and how some want some gentle company! Ultimately I love dogs and cats so much and do anything I can to treat them like they deserve, I treat all animals as if they are my own! I am fully trained in dog CPR and first aid. I’m Fully available on Tuesdays to care for your pet, but on the other week days I finish my main job at 5pm so I would only be free in the evenings 5:30-10pm. I’m also free on Saturdays and Sundays to help where ever I can! I am able to safely keep your dog or cat in a safe environment at your home, Constantly keeping an eye where they are at your home and making sure there’s no way for them to hurt themselves whilst you’re not there or any areas that they have the chance to get out of, I promise to leave your home with a happy pet that has been treated how they deserve. If you would like me to take your dog to a certain area to walk i own a car harness! I’m also fully trained in dog CPR and first aid
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs alongside all sorts of other animals, and even when I went to university in 2019 and couldn’t have pets of my own, I couldn’t let that stop me! I regularly volunteered myself to look after family and friends’ dogs (at first it was often just because I wanted an excuse to spend time with them 😂), which eventually turned into caring for other people’s pets more professionally through word of mouth. I’ve looked after lots of different dogs over the years, from Shih Tzus and Cockapoos to Great Danes, Dalmatians, Labradors, Retrievers and plenty of others. I’ve also cared for puppies, senior dogs and dogs with very different personalities and routines, so I know that there really isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to looking after them. I’m more than happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, medication, enrichment, bedtime routines or simply giving them lots of attention and affection. I think it’s really important that dogs feel comfortable and secure rather than having their whole routine changed while their owners are away- they already miss their pawrents enough! I’m also really interested in animal behaviour and communication and spend a lot of my free time reading, researching and watching documentaries and educational videos about animals. I love learning about why dogs behave the way they do and how they communicate, and I’m keen to learn about your dog’s individual quirks, boundaries and needs! I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I’ll always prioritise making sure they feel safe, happy and cared for. I’m very happy to send photos and updates throughout the day and communicate as much as you’d like while you’re away! Most importantly, I just really, really love dogs. I love getting to know their individual personalities and will be very excited to meet yours! 🐶❤️ I’m very flexible with my schedule, which means I’m in a great position to prioritise your pet and fit their care around their individual routine and needs. I’m happy to structure my day around their usual feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, playtime and any other care they need rather than expecting them to fit around my schedule. I’m also available for overnight stays and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times where needed. As I work from home on my own projects, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and company throughout the day while still giving them space and quiet time when they want it! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly flat with secure windows and no garden, and my home is fully bunny-proofed (which basically means everything-proofed because rabbits find a way into everything 😂). I’m very happy to have pets stay with me and can be flexible with walks and toilet breaks throughout the day. My two rabbits are kept completely separate from visiting pets unless an owner has specifically agreed otherwise. They have their own secure space, and if they need time outside of it while your pet is staying, they will be kept in a separate room. For walks, I’ll always follow your instructions around routes, length and lead use, and I’m comfortable handling dogs on lead. If a pet becomes nervous or reactive, I’ll prioritise removing them from the situation and giving them whatever space or reassurance they need. If I notice anything unusual or concerning, I’ll contact you immediately and take any necessary action, including contacting a vet if needed. When house sitting, I’m respectful, tidy and careful with other people’s homes. I’ll follow your house rules and instructions, keep doors and windows secure and leave everything as I found it. I’m also happy to take care of things like keys, alarms, post, bins and plants if needed. Before looking after any pet, I’m always happy to go through their routine, boundaries, emergency details and anything else I need to know so I can make sure they’re safe, happy and comfortable!
“Very happy to recommend Joshua. My dog Malcolm seemed very comfortable around him from the off. Joshua was very dog-centric which is as it shold be, asked all the right questions and communicated superbly throughout. Nothing was too much trouble.”
About: I have grown up with 1 giant family dog and 2 cats. After the chaos of that household during the puppy training stage, i’m sure I can handle anything! My neighbours have often trusted me to check in on their pets, including bathroom breaks, walking, feeding, and just generally keeping them company. Having looked after pets of different ages and sizes, I feel confident that I can keep them happy and safe, as well as maintaining routines set out by their owners. I also have experience sitting for 2 elderly cats who needed special attention and medication, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me even if your pet needs any extra love and care! I’m currently a student at the University of Bristol, so will have a few hours of work during weekdays but still plenty of time to pop in and play with your pets. Living right in the centre of Bristol means i’m able to quickly get around and take last minute sits/ walks. I may also be available for longer pet sits in your home on weekends and half term holidays, so please don’t hesitate to ask! In your home and when out on walks, I will respect the routines/ rules you set out for your pets and make sure to keep them safe at all times.

“Rafaela took my poodle Otis for near daily walks during a particularly busy fortnight. She was punctual and communicated well. Otis had a good walk and was always happy and tired on his return. She took lovely photos during their walks which was great to see. Would recommend. Many thanks!”
“Amber is great - I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. As an anxious dog he has various things that make him nervous and we do training to work with him on this. We did a meet and greet beforehand where she took care to learn about my dog’s personality and training routine. While I’m stuck at work, it’s lovely to see the photos of Bobby having fun on his walk 🐶”
“Amanda was fab! She came & met us before the day she was going to walk Mischief & asked all the right questions. She took excellent care of her on a super warm day, I felt Tiny Dog was in safe hands. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m a reliable, patient and caring person who treats every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s needs, personality and routine. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m punctual, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I am also the proud owner of a Shiba Inu called Suki (you can see her posing in my pictures). I will treat your dog with the same love and care as Suki 🐕 I work full time but am able to fit walks into my lunch break & in the evenings after 4:30pm to 8pm. I am flexible. N/A - I don’t offer dog sitting services only walking. This is so I can keep active and also help those who may not be able to walk their dogs as often as they’d like.
“Charlotte helped me with a couple of walks when I wasn't very well. She was responsive, prompt, very good with my dog, provided photos and responsible. Thanks Charlotte!”
“Josh is great, he’s totally reliable, and loving towards our golden doodle. From the daily photos Josh sent us from the walks we can see that our dog loved them. I can recommend Josh highly.”
“Friendly, charming - Benny the dog loved her instantly. I think her greater dog/puppy experience (than mine) might be very useful in training this lively pup. Lizzie managed to persuade him to come home more quickly than I ever can. Will rebook.”
About: I have been active on Rover for 2 years and on Borrow my doggy prior to that for 8+ years so have had a lot of experience sitting, walking and boarding! I also grew up with dogs and have always been told I have very special bonds with them! I am looking for a full time dog walking job, I am available 5-7 days a week so am very flexible when it comes to walking your pooches! I can be available in the mornings, afternoon and evenings :) I have the upmost love for dogs and will ensure their safety at all times, show them lots of love and attention and take them on many walks as I live by lots of lovely parks :) If I were in your home I’d follow any guidance or routine given to me and would do the same as I would in my home in regards to love attention and play! I live and study in Raleigh road so am flexible with days and times, I study Mondays and Tuesdays 10-5, other than that I am free before :) I am devoted to dogs and am readily available to care feed and walk the lil beans! I’ve had experience with all dog ages and can look after all different dogs! However, preferably I’d sit a dog who is able to cope being away from their owners (I understand your doggo will miss you and in their own home it’ll be easier but a stressed dog is not nice to see) therefore guidelines, tips and any current behaviours and potential behaviours that could be exhibited. If you have had sitters before it would be helpful to gain an insight into what your dog is like when you’re not there as it always varies and I want to make sure they feel and know they are safe with me :)

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!”

“It was my first experience of using a sitter for my boy and I am so glad I found Nicole. An amazing experience from the beginning till the end. Nicole responded straight away, made me feel at ease. My boy Milo stayed with Nicole over night. Communication was brilliant as Nicole was updating me at all times through messages and pictures. Nicole treated Milo with so much respect and compassion. My boy returned home happy and relaxed in himself. Definitely will be going back to Nicole.”
“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!”
“My doggie absolutely fell in love with Ellie and that’s the best I could ever ask from a sit while I’m away. Ellie did a fantastic job updating us every day with pictures and videos and generally my little girl’s mood, activities et cetera, it was very sweet. Ellie is a really really lovely girl with a very relaxed style that animals seem to love. I will 100% use Ellie’s pet sitting services again and I strongly recommend her. Thank you, Ellie!”
“Kemi was a brilliant sitter for Minnie and nothing was ever too difficult for them! Minnie came home such a happy pup and I will definitely be asking Kemi to look after Minnie again. Highly recommend!”
“Leanne is a very personably young woman. She was cooperative in every way, i.e. with timings and communicating. Lollie was very content when she returned to me and Leanne said she'd been a good dog.”
“Simon cared for Buddy as though he was his own. He was a lovely guy, good at messaging and sending photos, and even bought him a toy! We will go to Simon first when we need dog care again”
“Lottie is brilliant - really kind, knowledgeable and considerate, clearly spent time with lots of different kinds of dog and has a great understanding of their needs and behaviour. My dog was looked so relaxed and happy during the stay, and obviously enjoying a lot of affection. Excellent communication and updates, and also very accommodating with a delayed pick-up. Would love to book again.”
“Isobel was great with our cockerpoo who can be nervous. Bubble had a great time and it was lovely and reassuring to have photos sent to us showing how happy Bubble was. Isobel was happy to come and meet Bubble at home before the stay which was also reassuring. We would happily ask Isobel to look after Bubble again.”
“Noodle had a great time staying with Matilde and Nala. He had plenty walks during the stay, and Matilde was very patient and accommodating to our requests, and sent us lots of photo updates throughout the day to reassure us he is having a good time. Would definitely book again!”
