“Holly was so amazing to my Mico! She was very accommodating for a last-minute booking. She sent photos and updates, and it seemed he had a blast with her dog, Ted! Excellent pet sitter!”
“Kate and her family were absolutely wonderful with Poppy! Since Kate works from home, Poppy had constant company, and she loved being spoiled by Kate's partner and teenage kids. Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
About: I don't have my own pet but I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else can be worrying so I want to provide a safe calm and welcoming environment where they can feel at home I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for your fur baby also I will only look after 1 pet at a time I have a reasonable size fence garden and I will also take them out for walkie. I don't have any pets myselves. I live in a 4 bedroom detached house. I can provide a safe calm and welcoming environment where they feel at home
“Nina took really good care of my friendly rescue dog (also called Nina!). When I picked her up, she was relaxed and seemed to have had a chilled time :) We recieved quick and helpful replies to all messages, and pics too. We'll be booking in again - thank you!”
“Snacks had a lovely time staying with Bonita for the night! She was fantastic at communicating in the lead-up, asking all the right questions and showing she really knows dogs well. During his stay she sent us great updates and photos of him having a wonderful time. Even though it was 30 degrees out, she made sure he stayed cool and hydrated, and her beautiful tucked-away garden was perfect for him to play safely. Snacks had so much fun. We’d happily book with Bonita again!”
“Simba had a great time with Hannah! I really appreciate how well Hannah took care of him—Simba came home happy and completely relaxed. I’ve already booked Simba's future boarding with Hannah, and I fully recommend.”
“Dobby love staying with Elizabeth, and it’s great to have her around the corner for the future! Very communicative, great updates, and trust that Dobby is very cared for :)”
“"I cannot recommend Mollie enough! This was our first time leaving Monty this weekend. She completely put my mind at ease by sending photo and video updates. Monty can be a bit needy and anxious but was very happy and content when left. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Mollie!”
“Noey is just such a lovely lady - Teddy had the best time and we have a lovely pic of him cuddling asleep on her lap! We had regular 'pupdates' and pictures, and Teddy was calm and happy when we went to collect him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Noey as someone to leave a very precious pup with!”
“Tetiana was absolutely fab! We had a nightmare with our kennel booking and needed someone to watch our (rather large) dog at very short notice, and Tetiana came to the rescue. She provided us with frequent updates and photographs throughout our dog’s stay and made sure he got plenty exercise during the day too. She has a huge back garden and her own dog, who was a great play buddy for ours. Honestly, she’s brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone, having already passed her details to other family members who may need her in future. Thanks Tetiana for all your help.”
“Oscar had another wonderful time staying with Jodie and her family. He is so happy when he is there and gets lots of love and cuddles and I feel totally confident that he is being given the best care.”
“I've been using Synolda the past few weeks now and she has been great with Ted. Plenty of walks and updates. Gave him his meds as needed after he had some teeth removed a couple of weeks ago. And he gets plenty of entertainment from her dog and another dog she looks after on some days. Will definitely use her again when I'm working in the area.”
“Contacted Josh to look after my two labs after being called into work away at short notice, he was more than happy to help! The boys had a lovely time with him, had regular updates and pictures of their stay. Would highly recommend Josh and would definitely use him again!”

“Arlo had such a good time with Nat and Chris, again. He had lots of canine company this time too, lots of heart warming videos and photos, which were the highlight of our day whilst away from him. I always dread drop off day, because we all miss him so, however, leaving him with Nat & Chris we have absolutely no concerns for his well being, we know he’s in very good and loving hands, and Arlo knows it too, he adores Nat 😍 Thank you 🤩”

“Caitlin has been an absolute hero. We booked her last minute for a week’s cat sitting, and she was super helpful, sending daily updates and photographs. We came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely be back in touch in the future!”
About: A cat was the very first pet I asked my mum for, so I posted hand drawn business cards to my neighbours asking to be their after school pet sitter. I would spend all day at school excited to do my after school job and I still feel that way when I am asked to look after cats! I have taken care of kittens and elderly cats and have an excellent understanding of their behaviour and needs. I am reliable and love spending time with cats as I think we can learn a lot from their way of life.
About: I’ve always loved cats and have looked after friends and neighbours pets when they’ve been away. I have a Burmese cat called Mimi who is an elderly lady of 18 now. I totally understand that for you to be happy when you’re at work or away you need to know kitty is happy at home. I will feed them, play with them and cuddle them if they like that. Happy to do two visits per day and stay for a while to keep them company. I am experienced at giving medication if necessary and realise that the method of doing that depends on your individual pet. I’m also a yoga teacher and work for the NHS so nurturing is part of my every day life!
About: I've always been a cat lover and have had cats throughout my life. I currently have a lovely cat of my own, Rolo, who is 12 years old very much part of the family! Rolo was my companion when I worked in an office and he would happily roam the office and sit on my lap whilst at my computer (to the amusement of my colleagues). I've been looking after friends' and family's cats for as long as I can remember, caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful youngsters to older cats who prefer a quieter pace. I understand that every cat is different, and I always take the time to get to know their individual routines, personality and preferences. Whether your cat loves attention and playtime or is a little more shy and independent, I'll make sure they receive personalised, gentle care and plenty of fuss (where wanted). I make sure to stick to their usual feeding and care routines, keep litter trays clean and provide play and companionship. I also know how reassuring it is to know your cat is safe and happy while you're away, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My aim is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your cat is being well looked after in the comfort of their own home.
“McKenzie is our go-to cat sitter who genuinely enjoy looking after our cat. They always make sure she’s happy, well-fed, and gets plenty of playtime and cuddles. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos they send and keeps us relaxed knowing the cat is safe and happy! We 100% recommend McKenzie!”
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.
“Jessica did a fantastic job of looking after my two cats this weekend. She arranged a proper handover before we left and kept us updated throughout our trip - it was so nice to receive pictures and videos of our cats looking happy. This was my first time using a cat sitter and I really feel Jessica went above and beyond; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and we have already booked again for our next trip.”
About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey I’ve always had such a soft spot for cats. When I was younger I had two of my own – they were so gentle and loving, and I still miss them dearly to this day. That time with them taught me just how much love and patience cats deserve, and how important it is to respect their little personalities too. I’m happy to pop in for home visits: feeding them, keeping their space clean, giving them fuss and strokes if they want it, or just sitting quietly keeping them company if they prefer their own space. I’ll stick exactly to their usual routine, whether that’s favourite snacks, playtime or sleepy spots, so they stay calm and happy while you’re away. I know how much you care about them, so I’ll send you photos and little updates whenever I’m there, so you know they’re doing just fine.
“We left our very energetic 1 year old choc lab with Eamon for visits during a day, we could not have been more reassured during the day with great communication and photos ! When we got back Sid is so chilled and happy , the house is immaculate and a lovely note from Eamon , superb care, so will be booking again ! Thanks so much Eamon !”
“Millie was amazing! She was so reassuring as we had just moved house so our two boys were quite nervous and stuck indoors, but she did everything asked and more including good communication and photo/video updates, feeding, litter and cuddles! I would definitely book her again. Thank you Millie!”
“Desiree stepped in to look after our cats at very short notice. She was so easy to communicate with and super reliable, would 100% recommend. It’s just our cats are so unsociable! Thank you Desiree.”
About: I’m a highly experienced cat sitter with a background as an exotic animal and behaviour specialist, trained in reward-based (R+) methods. I’m very comfortable reading feline body language and adapting care to each cat’s individual needs. I currently have a cat of my own and understand how important routine, trust, and low-stress handling are. Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, high-energy, or needs behavioural awareness, I provide calm, attentive, and knowledgeable care tailored to them.
About: Hello, thank you for viewing my profile. I have recently joined Cat in a flat to offer care to your lovely furry family member. I have always grown up with cats and still have one at my parents home. I live in Portishead with my 2 dogs. I currently do not work due to redundancy so have got plenty of time to look after your gorgeous pet or pets! Happy to discuss any further requirements which you may need!

SOLANS08439, https://www.rover.com/sit/solans08439 I have a very flexible life and I work from home with pets. Your pet will have my company and Frank, my dog, he is a Cockapoo very friendly, calm and love his walks. Your pet will never be alone. I usually take the pets for a walks in a variety locations, e.g. country walks, parks, etc. I like to engage with them playing games, throwing balls and giving cuddles and belly rubs time.

If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity levels to where your pet is more comfortable. I have got experience with large and small breeds. During your pet's stay I prefer you provide your pet’s food so it does not disturb his/hers stomach by changing diet. I am DBS checked, first aid dog trained.

About: I am a recent graduate with a lifelong love and interest in animals. As a child, I would draw my own pet sitting “business cards” and leave them for neighbours so that I could feed and play with their cats after school. I eventually moved on to dog walking as a teenager, and since then I have continued to look after all sorts of different 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 check my calendar and message me to double check availability. 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 1 week 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.
“Maria and her family looked after our dogs again for a two day stay and were wonderful at accommodating our last minute booking - much appreciated. Another great stay for our two, they had a great time :)”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 7 years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I moved from Hungary to the UK in October 2025, and after our dog left in December, the house has felt very empty without a pet around. Although I became an engineer, I always loved spending time with animals, and back home friends often trusted me to look after their cats while they were away. I’m calm, reliable, patient, and currently have plenty of free time for walks, visits, playtime, and giving your pets lots of attention and care. I work from home full-time, so I’m available for pet care all day long. I can easily adjust to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles. I’m also happy to do overnight boarding or weekend stays whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home where your dog would spend most of the time inside with me. The house is calm and secure, and I can crate your dog if needed. Playtime is always supervised in the fenced garden.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child and have always had a special bond with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful young pups and senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I provide loving, reliable care and treat every dog as part of my family. I currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate dog boarding during weekdays and weekends, ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my spacious home with a large garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I also have my own friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo, Poppy, who loves having canine company and can help your dog feel happy and relaxed. I always treat every pet with care, patience, and attention, making sure they feel secure and part of the family while they are staying with me.

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.

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.

“Olive enjoyed her daycare with Nat and Chris , you can clearly see they have a love for dogs . We were updated throughout the day with photos and videos , which was lovely to see . Will definitely use again. Thank you ☺️”
“Charlotte was wonderful with Otis. He relaxed very quickly with her. She gave him a lovely long walk during his stay. Otis was very calm and relaxed when we picked him up. He had clearly had a great time. Will be asking Charlotte to look after Otis again.”
About: Ive taken care of my own dog (Yorkie) since I was 10, after that I’ve worked with dogs throughout collage and university. I’ve worked at a groomers, dog behaviouralist and at the vets as a student vet nurse. I can work with big and small dogs alike, with both nervous or ‚spicy’ personalities. I can walk dogs, train them, trim their nails, give them baths and brushed them out (but can’t clip or trim fur due to lack of equipment). I can administer topical, oral and injectable medications and know how to look after puppies, sick / injured, or geriatric dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a bartender (Friday and Saturday nights, and the occasional mid week night shift), so I’m available all week during the day, and most of the week over night. This may change once I find a full time position, however I’d be happy to continue services for regulars or on special occasions given prior notice. I prefer to go clients homes as that’s where the animals feel the safest, but if that’s not possible I’m able to bring animals to my home. I have a few house mates that you might cross paths with that don’t mind animals in the house. I have a big living room, which is where we’d spend most of the time (outside of walks and sleep) and I have a very small garden, however it’s too small to be comfortable long term. During nights, I’d bring the pets up to my room and either put them in a kennel if provided and requested by owner, or will allow them to sleep on my bed (if owner permits). While taking care of cats, they would be kept indoors at all times unless leashed walks are requested, and I’d require the owner to provide a harness, cage or kennel for transport and safety reasons. For pick ups and drop offs, I can only provide this if you are within walking or public transport distance and my main mode of transport is not suitable for pets.
“Kelsey and James were great with Mabel, it was a last minute booking and they were great! Very friendly, great communication, and Mabel looked very content in the photos they sent! Thanks again”

“Martin has been fantastic! Always on time, has taken him out for the correct length of time and rain or shine! He’s great with communication, I can’t fault anything. Morris has loved all his walks with Martin and came back all tuckered out. Feel lucky to found such a great walker! Thank you!”
“Sol is lovely, flexible, and very helpful. Jack has a great time on his walks - we can clearly see hoe much fun he is having from the videos and pictures during the walks. He greeted Sol like an old friend on the 2nd time of meeting her, and is more than happy to leave us! :)”

About: I had a dog (Kelly) when I was a child and now own a big grey cat called Luna. I occasionally pet sitted dogs and cats at friend’s houses. I am working a 8-4 job. I am working in the office Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am working from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. I could work from your home if you want me to stay the whole day (on Wednesdays and Fridays) or come right before and/or after work and even spend the night there if you want. I can feed your pets, take them out for walks, cuddle them (obviously) and wash them or anything else you want me to do :) I can spend the night over too.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I enjoy caring for senior animals or animals with special needs that may need some extra care, but also have raised both puppies and kittens in my lifetime! I am a calm, gentle person and I know how to act around animals of any personality types & needs, for example if you have a skittish/nervy cat you can rest assured that I will approach your pet and your house with care and precision as to not startle them. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine as I have a very flexible schedule. I am available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and I’m more than happy to spend quality time with your cat rather than just popping in for a quick visit. I understand how important routine and companionship are, so I’ll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away :) I care for every cat as if they were my own. At home, and when cat sitting, I make sure the cats are always well fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays, and plenty of love and attention. I am more than happy to look after any cats of any ages and have experience with cats of all ages including kittens and senior cats. I love spending time playing with them, keeping them entertained, and giving them lots of cuddles whenever they’re in the mood for affection! When caring for a cat in an owner’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I will happily spend time keeping them company and giving them cuddles if they enjoy them. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, happy and cared for while their owner is away. Whether you have one kitty or 20, I will be more than happy to look after them.

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.

It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to our beloved Coco 🌈, who filled our lives with joy, deepened our understanding of dogs, and forever touched our souls. We adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, with a special place in our hearts for shy ones, drawing on our lifelong experience with dogs and cats. We’re with dogs at home all the time 😊. We do not accept large groups—instead, we carefully match and introduce only dogs that get along well and enjoy each other’s company, ensuring a calm, stress-free stay for everyone. There’s nothing we enjoy more than sharing long, joyful walks through nearby woods, parks, and forests with our guests. Our three-bedroom home offers plenty of space for your dog to feel at ease, complete with a large, securely fenced garden. Plus, we’re just steps away from the beautiful Kings Weston House and its expansive open common area—perfect for adventures and relaxation. We know how much your dog means to you, and we treat every pet as if they were our own, with the utmost care and respect. We’re flexible with timing and thoughtful about pick-up and drop-off, making the experience as smooth as possible for you and your pet. To keep you connected, we’ll send daily updates with photos, sharing the happy moments of your dog’s stay. We’d be honoured to welcome your dog into our home 😊. I provide personalised dog boarding in a small, home-like setting — maximum 5 dogs at once. Solo boarding is welcome, but please book in advance ☺️ We have a big open plan living room and kitchen area so there’s lots of space for you pet to roam free. There is also a garden out the back and Kings Weston House 5 minutes around the corner!
About: Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m an experienced and passionate dog carer with a strong background in animal welfare. I’ve volunteered as a dog boarder for Guide Dogs UK, cared for rescue dogs as a walker with a local dog charity, and walked pups through BorrowMyDoggy. I also have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals at an animal rescue charity. As I have grown up with a dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or company, your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me! -NO LONGER ACCEPTING BOARDING IN MY OWN HOUSE FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT- -BOOKING IS ONLY CONFIRMED ONCE CONFIRMED IN THE APP- I am a part-time remote online student so I am fully available throughout the week and able to give my full attention to your pet. I have a non-smoking, no children, and no pet household so it is safe for reactive dogs. There are also plenty of walks around my house to take your pet on if you wish.
“Kaci was very polite and friendly. She was punctual and took my Yorkshire terrier out for two walks which Billie loved. The walks were local to me and didn't mind driving to my house. Would ask her again.”
“George was brilliant! He was able to accommodate me at short notice, for which I was very grateful. Polo had a lovely time with him and George took some great photos to show what they got up to 😊”
About: Dogs have always been like my best friends, and I’ve loved caring for them from a young age. I’ve been looking after all kinds of dogs since I was 12, and now, at 22, caring for dogs is something I genuinely love doing. There’s honestly nothing I adore more than dogs. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for. Whether they’re energetic and love a long walk, or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be difficult, which is why I take the responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience and attention I would give my own, while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and having a great time. My goal is simple: for every dog I look after to feel safe, loved and excited to see me again! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet care, and I can work around the individual needs and routines of each dog. I’m reliable with timings and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise and care. I’m also happy to provide regular weekday walks for owners who need ongoing support. The safety and happiness of every pet I care for is my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality and individual needs before looking after them. I keep dogs supervised, secure and comfortable, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and routines. During walks, I use appropriate leads and equipment and stay aware of traffic, other dogs and the surrounding environment. In my home or the owner’s home, I aim to create a calm, clean and welcoming environment where dogs can feel relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and I want owners to feel completely confident that their pet is in safe hands.
About: Ive taken care of my own dog (Yorkie) since I was 10, after that I’ve worked with dogs throughout collage and university. I’ve worked at a groomers, dog behaviouralist and at the vets as a student vet nurse. I can work with big and small dogs alike, with both nervous or ‚spicy’ personalities. I can walk dogs, train them, trim their nails, give them baths and brushed them out (but can’t clip or trim fur due to lack of equipment). I can administer topical, oral and injectable medications and know how to look after puppies, sick / injured, or geriatric dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a bartender (Friday and Saturday nights, and the occasional mid week night shift), so I’m available all week during the day, and most of the week over night. This may change once I find a full time position, however I’d be happy to continue services for regulars or on special occasions given prior notice. I prefer to go clients homes as that’s where the animals feel the safest, but if that’s not possible I’m able to bring animals to my home. I have a few house mates that you might cross paths with that don’t mind animals in the house. I have a big living room, which is where we’d spend most of the time (outside of walks and sleep) and I have a very small garden, however it’s too small to be comfortable long term. During nights, I’d bring the pets up to my room and either put them in a kennel if provided and requested by owner, or will allow them to sleep on my bed (if owner permits). While taking care of cats, they would be kept indoors at all times unless leashed walks are requested, and I’d require the owner to provide a harness, cage or kennel for transport and safety reasons. For pick ups and drop offs, I can only provide this if you are within walking or public transport distance and my main mode of transport is not suitable for pets.
About: I have a wealth of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have always had dogs and cats in the family, and I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with yours! I currently work full time, three days from home (a two-storey flat with a generously sized walled garden). I am very into my runs and general fitness, so would be a good fit for any high energy animals. I am very attentive and considerate of the needs of any pet that comes into my home; from the moment they come into my care I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable, stress free and we’ll exercised!
“Very happy with Nikoletas dog walking, very attentive to Lunas needs, she can be bit of a handful sometimes with needing attention/direction so nice to know they got on so well. Would highly recommend!”
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: (I have recently moved to bristol and hope to build something with this down here, i have changed my location but havent fully updated my profile here yet) My brother, my mum and I all run our boarding service together :) we have always had a number of four legged friends in the house, we love dogs and cats! We look after friends and families dogs, I (Amy) offer to stay over when they go on holiday. I have volunteered helping with dogs when I have travelled and I am a dog trainer, so I have plenty of experience with handling your beautiful fury friend and lots of time to play and exercise them. I am available for boarding, and house visits vary during the week day, some days I am available in the morning and others in the afternoon. We have a big secure garden and live in a beautiful area for quiet dog walks near a beach. We have 3 friendly dogs but also have the ability to keep your dog seperate from ours. We also have a L crate if necessary. We have no cats. I drive and can collect your pet if necessary or take them for days out. I would like to mention that my 4-star review came from a house sit where the property had an older front door and lock that required a very specific way of locking and unlocking. Unfortunately, one evening the key became stuck and I had to arrange a locksmith, which caused inconvenience and additional cost for the owner while she was already having a difficult holiday due to illness and poor weather. Importantly, the pets were very well cared for throughout the stay, and the owner still left a positive written review. The situation was resolved quickly, and it was a valuable learning experience for me when managing unfamiliar property systems. I am a dog trainer. I spend a lot of my time looking after the dogs in my care and always plan fun things to do with them. I am very active and love to play and train them. We have a fenced garden in our home, we have dogs too but can be kept separate, we have a crate if needed. I have a van to transport the dogs and can go to beautiful walks with lots of exercise. But mainly we will adhere to how we are required to look after the pet from the owner.
About: I have looked after animals from a very young age, from little rodents, to dogs, cats and horses and donkeys. I’ve taken in rescue animals from kill centres, helped to foster animals aswell, I enjoy the outdoors, and I have specialised in senior care and disabilities, having looked after senior dogs as pets myself when they don’t want to walk so far but would like to have a little stroll. I’m currently looking at part time, as I work full time. Looking at doing drop in, and dog walking services so I’ll be available. I will treat your home like my own home, will care and attention. Your pets are my priority, I will upload walks and will keep you up to date with the services I provide.

“Nina took really good care of my friendly rescue dog (also called Nina!). When I picked her up, she was relaxed and seemed to have had a chilled time :) We recieved quick and helpful replies to all messages, and pics too. We'll be booking in again - thank you!”
“Simba had a great time with Hannah! I really appreciate how well Hannah took care of him—Simba came home happy and completely relaxed. I’ve already booked Simba's future boarding with Hannah, and I fully recommend.”
“"I cannot recommend Mollie enough! This was our first time leaving Monty this weekend. She completely put my mind at ease by sending photo and video updates. Monty can be a bit needy and anxious but was very happy and content when left. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Mollie!”
“Tetiana was absolutely fab! We had a nightmare with our kennel booking and needed someone to watch our (rather large) dog at very short notice, and Tetiana came to the rescue. She provided us with frequent updates and photographs throughout our dog’s stay and made sure he got plenty exercise during the day too. She has a huge back garden and her own dog, who was a great play buddy for ours. Honestly, she’s brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone, having already passed her details to other family members who may need her in future. Thanks Tetiana for all your help.”
“Contacted Josh to look after my two labs after being called into work away at short notice, he was more than happy to help! The boys had a lovely time with him, had regular updates and pictures of their stay. Would highly recommend Josh and would definitely use him again!”
About: I have been looking after dogs of all kinds for over a decade. I'm very passionate about animals and know how to build a positive, trusting relationship with them. I work independentdly from home so I have the time to spend with your dog and make sure all their needs are met. I do work part time out of the house on occaision so some dates will not be available. I have a nice fenced garden, workspace downstairs so i can keep an eye on your little one, as well as plenty of space for zoomies and dog friendly sofas. There is space for a crate if needed
“Arlo had such a good time with Nat and Chris, again. He had lots of canine company this time too, lots of heart warming videos and photos, which were the highlight of our day whilst away from him. I always dread drop off day, because we all miss him so, however, leaving him with Nat & Chris we have absolutely no concerns for his well being, we know he’s in very good and loving hands, and Arlo knows it too, he adores Nat 😍 Thank you 🤩”
“Laura was fab with our dog, we felt very reassured that Laura would take great care of her, and we recieved regular photo updates which showed Polly having a great time. We will happily book Laura again when we next need a dog sitter.”
“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 dog had a fabulous time staying with Tom and Holly. They sent a good amount of updates and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them for a long weekend! I would definitely book with them again. Thanks ☺️”
“Jason was great at looking after my dog Buddy. He was genuinely excited to take him for a walk in new places that he thought Bud would enjoy. Buddy was fed at the right times and given plenty of attention each day. Jason's home is very well kept and has a fantastic garden space which Buddy enjoyed chilling in 😎. He took note of the things Buddy does and doesn't like. He also provided a very calm environment for Bud, always trying to make him feel comfortable. The area in which Jason is situated seems to be quite tranquil, which imo helps give a positive holiday-not-so-far-away feel for my dog. 👌🤙 we'll definitely be in touch again in the future. Thanks!”

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 me 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.

About: Hello, I'm Amy! I'm 24 and I am currently studying to be an ATI (animal training instructor) with PACT! I recently moved to Clifton, Bristol at the beginning of September 2026 and I have a garden flat :) I love dogs with all my heart and have a variety of experience with a range of breeds. I had a husky of my own since I was 10 years old and regularly walked dogs in my local area growing up. I am studying to be a dog trainer with PACT and have experience within the training world after shadowing trainers for the mindsalike program in Chesham! I also volunteered for stockenchurch dog rescue where my main jobs included walking, feeding, cleaning and taking care of all the wonderful dogs needs. I'm available weekdays & weekends, for walks, pet sitting (at your home or mine) - I have no current pets as I've recently moved to Bristol and would love some extra company! Message me with any further questions!! 🐶 I am studying to become a dog trainer and I am currently unemployed as I have recently moved to Bristol. Moving forward I will be pursuing my training starting part-time and eventually full-time. However at the moment I am home all day/ night so I can care for your dogs every need and give them constant company! I have a fenced garden with no other pets so your dog will be able to roam freely throughout the flat and garden. I live on a quite road which is very safe with lots of parks nearby to take your dog out multiple times a day if needed! If your dog requires longer walks I am able to drive to nearby woods/ fields and take them for a lovely long walk if you'd prefer that :)
