When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Bristol that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Bristol to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Bristol. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Bristol. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Bristol.

I absolutely love being around animals. I grew up with a cat at home who was the same age as me, spent many happy times looking after/petsitting my uncles' dogs (a Viszla and a Boxer), and for the last 5 years have been sharing my life with my dear male tabby cat, Henry , who I have looked after since he was a kitten. 
I love connecting with an animal and building trust and companionship, as much as I love playing with a pet, providing stimulation and joy , alongside making sure they are safe, healthy and well fed . 
I love taking a dog for a walk as much as I enjoy playing with a sparky cat, or simply providing some calm pets and company . I'm very comfortable administering medications.

I feel that I am a good communicator, reliable and flexible. 

Animals have given so so much to me , and I look forward to being able to give back to them (and their dear human guardians!). 


Hi there!
My name is Alexia - I'm a freelance creative living in beautiful St. George with the love of my life - my cat Adriana.
As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to know that your pet is being cared for while you're away, and so I will always provide lots of photos and videos and clear communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!&nbsp;
I have experience pet sitting for friends and family for the last 10 years, but after moving to freelance life permanently, I am looking for more regular walks and sits! I've been spoiling my own cat for 6 years, and I grew up around dogs my whole life, so I have lots of experience with both.&nbsp;
I'm happy to travel outside of St. George - depending on how far.&nbsp;
I'm also DBS certified.
Get in touch, and I'm happy to arrange a sitting or walking schedule that best suits you and your pet!



I adore cats! I have had them in my family throughout my life. We recently adopted two sweet brothers -- see one of them in my profile photo. I love learning cats' personalities and earning their trust (because they make you work for it, right?).&nbsp;
As a cat parent, I know how difficult it can be to leave them and how much it helps to have someone giving them lots of love and attention in your absence.&nbsp;
You can trust me to support you -- my friends with cats can attest to this as they always ask for my help when they are away.
I work from home and my schedule is generally very flexible with some notice, allowing for plenty of time for snuggles and playtime with your cats.&nbsp;
When I visit your cats, I send daily updates and also take photos and videos of our time together so you can see how they are doing each day you're away.&nbsp;
I specialise in shy or nervous cats and take it as a personal challenge to make them comfortable! In addition to feeding your cats, changing their water, scooping litter, and (as needed) administering medication during my visits, I can also water plants, take bins in/out, or take on other small jobs you need doing in your absence. I respond to messages quickly, so you can trust that I will be reachable in an emergency. Please feel free to contact me with questions or to set up a meeting.


Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I am a postgraduate student at Bristol who is missing having pets in my life. I have extensive experience caring for pet of all shapes and sizes, and am very familiar with how different members of the same species and even breeds can be! I always respond to the animals' own signs and boundaries, letting my pets define our relationships. This is why I have no good pictures with my guinea pigs, as they prefer not to be picked up! At the same time, I take the safety of my own and other's animals extremely seriously. I am familar with how differently you must approach reactive dogs and navigate the environment while walking them. I would love put my knowledge of dog reactivity to good use, and would thoroughly prepare before walks depending on the dog's profile and history.&nbsp;
I am interested in dog (or cat!) walking, and currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to walk for longer and commute farther. My typical walks will span around 30 minutes, but longer or shorter walks can be arranged with owner's approval. After each walk you can expect a picture and short summary of how your pet did on their walk and what they enjoyed! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have!


I'm a photography student here in Bristol and have the whole summer free to get outside walking and hopefully take a doggy with me.&nbsp;
I'm flexible, reliable and able to provide any special requests that you might have, whether it's attending to an elderly dog in your own home, bathe, give required medication, take multiple excitable dogs out together or stay over night in your home or mine.&nbsp;
In my home, your pet will receive the care they need; they are never left alone more than a couple hours, they will have multiple long walks throughout the day to ensure they sleep well at night, if your dog is elderly and just prefers a short game a ball in the park then that's totally fine, I will cater to the needs of individual pets.
I live in Bristol now with a couple of my good friends who love cuddling a dog, so your pet will get a lot of love and affection. My home has plenty of space inside and have a reasonably sized garden that has a secure fence. I am able to let your pet sleep wherever they are most comfortable and your preference, whether thats in a crate, in their own dog bed, in my bedroom, sofa, kitchen etc.&nbsp;
In my surrounding area I have many of lovely parks for your pet to run around in to ensure they get the exercise they need.&nbsp;
In your home, I will be respectful and follow any rules / requests you might ask of me.

I have many 5* reviews / references I can provide upon request 

My love for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since my teenage years, I’ve been lucky enough to care for a whole menagerie of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots, and even chickens!I have a calm, loving, and confident presence, shaped by many years of working with children and people with disabilities. Animals—especially cats and dogs—seem to sense this and quickly feel safe, relaxed, and at ease around me.I’ve cared for animals of all ages, including those who were ill, anxious, or had experienced trauma, and I’ve always found these experiences deeply rewarding, gentle, and even joyful.With a nursing degree, I’m comfortable administering medication, providing basic wound care (following veterinary guidance), and preparing food for pets with special dietary needs.I also bring over 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable people, often in their own homes, so I naturally treat other people’s spaces with great care and respect. For the past 15 years, I’ve also been caring for animals in a semi-professional, word-of-mouth capacity.I also enjoy sharing lovely daily photo and video updates on request, so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
Every pet is unique, so everything I offer is shaped around their individual needs and daily routine. Plenty of TLC, walks, playtime, chill-out moments, and calm, reassuring time are always on the menu I always take the time to get to know my new animal friend — their likes and dislikes, diet, habits, and what helps them feel happy and safe. Our time together is 100% tailored to them. For some pets, that might mean lots of playful, active connection; for others, it’s all about a quiet, loving presence and gentle care. And often, it’s a mix of everything in between.This is my first time on Pawshake and I’m really looking forward to meeting you—and your furry (and feathered!) family 


I am a caring, reliable and patient person with a genuine love for animals and the outdoors. Looking after pets is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable and loved while their owner is away.I have personal experience caring for small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs and rats, all of which were cherished members of my family. I have looked after other peoples pets too and I have also worked on a farm, where I gained valuable experience being around animals daily and understanding their needs, behaviours and routines.In my professional life I am an educator, and nurturing, responsibility and trust are at the heart of what I do. These qualities naturally extend to the way I care for animals.&nbsp;Your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness and attention, just as if they were my own.I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.I understand how important routine is for animals and will follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel safe and relaxed.Full DBS check ️

I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker. I have owned terriers and lived around rescue animals since childhood and have experience sitting for whippets and greyhounds and walking small, medium, and large breeds including bullies. I am a keen hiker and runner and am happy to take your dogs on long hikes or countryside routes as well as routes within Bristol and surrounding towns.
I am willing to take one-time clients and very keen to take long-term walking jobs. If you're looking for someone for regular dog-walking, especially if your dogs are high energy and require multiple hour walks, or if you're looking for someone for day-time sitting I'm your guy. I will not do off-lead walks until I am comfortable with and trust your dog.
I do not have my own vehicle currently and so I am only offering walks local to your home. I am willing to travel to reach you. My rates are set to allow me to make minimum wage: my walk services are £12.25/hr, with my minimum walk time being 1hr (pawshake takes a 25% cut).


Hello! I’m Saif – a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog walker.

I share my life with my own dog, Rocco, and have spent many years caring for dogs, including looking after friends’ pets while they’ve been away. Now retired, I’m lucky to have the time to focus on the things I enjoy most – spending time outdoors and caring for animals.

I regularly walk in and around Clifton and the Downs, and would love the opportunity to combine my daily walks with supporting local dog owners and helping their pets stay happy, healthy, and well-exercised.

I offer personalised walks tailored to your dog’s needs, and I’m very flexible – whether your dog needs a gentle stroll, an energetic run through the woods, or a focused walk to reinforce training and commands, I’m more than happy to help.

I usually walk one dog at a time, as I believe this allows me to give them my full attention and care – however I'm open to walking more depending on the situation and their backgrounds. I’m also a fully insured dog walker, so you can have complete peace of mind while your dog is in my care.

Please feel free to get in touch at any time if you’d like more information or to arrange a walk. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
