The 30 Best Dog walkers in Bristol

“Pawsitively Happy Dogs is such an amazing service. We have a bouncy, high energy Vizsla - and they manage her so well. She loves all of the team, and she waits for them by the window. They send regular updates of pick-up times, and photos/videos of each walk. The invoice app makes booking walks easy, and the payment system is also simple to use. We've also used them for weekend dog sitting more than once - they're trustworthy and reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!”

“Josh is a reliable, kind and competent dog walker. He genuinely loves the company of dogs and is excellent at communicating with them. He is highly recommended.”

“Avalon has quickly become one of Tessie’s absolute favourite people. The moment she hears Avalon at the door, her tail is wagging and she can’t wait to head out for her playtime or walk. It’s a comfort to know Tessie is with someone who not only takes great care of her but truly enjoys spending time with her.”

“Zoe & Jamie immediately put us at ease from Barney’s first dog walk. He was completely smitten with them from the outset and gets overwhelmed with excitement whenever he sees them. He arrives home from his walks totally contented and ready for a snooze. It’s a huge weight off whilst we’re at work. A few years on and Barney has had countless walks and a fab couple of holidays with Zoe & Jamie. They provide frequent updates & photos and Barney’s reaction to them still says it all. Thanks”

“Lora & Alex took great care of our 3yo working Labrador over a weekend. I honestly think that he was sorry to see them go! He had the best time. Our dog was tired & happy and the house was neat and tidy. 5* service!”

“We've been using Rich for years for our cats and the service is always fantastic - on several occasions he was happy to cover visits at extremely short notice and he's always been available when we needed him. Very reasonable prices, keeps everything tidied up and cleans bowels (we've had messy professional pet sitters before so I'm grateful Rich always left our home spotless). Rich is a lovely guy who is always happy to give us updates when we're away for a while. He also keeps really detailed records of the pets he cares for. So glad we found him!”

“We've known Angie for several years now (as a friend and colleague) and when a while back we discovered she did dog walking, we cheekily asked her if she could look after our cats whilst on holiday. We're so glad we did because it turns out she's a cat lover as well! What's fantastic is that even though our two cats (Orientals) are quite shy and sensitive, they now completely trust her. From any update she sends whilst carrying out her visits, we can tell they are receiving loving care and know they are being looked after as if they were her own. In summary, Angie is extremely thorough, dedicated, reliable, trustworthy and always caring”

“Iwona has been brilliant, working with me and my puppy. It started with a long phone conversation where she got to understand what I needed most help with. She then provided a training plan and since then we’ve had sessions at home and outside. Iwona is enthusiastic and thorough in all we did and consequently I now feel confident in continuing to build on what we’ve achieved so far. Highly recommend this service, very professional and worth every penny.”

“Our dog loves Queenie, and we’re big fans too! She’s reliable, a great communicator, sends great photos of Juno having a whale of a time on every walk, and also clearly cares about your dog’s wellbeing and what makes them tick.”

“We cannot recommend Snazzy Sniffers enough! Our dog Pepper absolutely loves going to spend the day with Nicky and Shannagh. We can tell when we drop her off how excited she is and it's so reassuring for us! We never worry about her when we are at work because we know she's having such a lovely time having walks, cuddles and playing with all of her friends. Nicky and Shannagh are very professional and always keep you updated with news and how Pepper is getting on. They post photos of all the dogs on their walks and it's lovely to see how much fun the dogs are having. They were absolutely brilliant in Summer when we had the hotter weather and accommodated early walks before it got too hot to make sure the dogs got a walk. I don't think you'll find a better dog walking/day care service in WSM!”

“We did Lucy's puppy course this year. It was fun and very helpful. Lucy is a fountain of knowledge and very generous to share it. She is friendly and approachable. The setting is lovely and all the dogs in our group got a graduation certificate at the end. My puppy is growing into a happy dog and she is going on the adolescence course next. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Couldn’t recommend Liz enough! She looked after Fig at the last minute and we were so grateful. The updates were amazing, lots of photos and videos which really put our minds at ease while we were away and we were excited to wake up to more updates. Fig is super affectionate, so it was lovely to see her getting so much attention and clearly happy in the videos. We felt comfortable leaving her in Liz’s care and will definitely be booking again for future trips!”

“Jake looked after our dog Lenny for three and then two days a week for over a year from when Lenny was a pup. Lenny really loved Jake (and vice versa) and was a very happy and healthy dog spending time with Jake and the other dogs. He got lots of love and exercise and Jake helped to make Lenny the well behaved dog he is today! Jake was always very reliable, well organised and a pleasure to deal with, and I wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending Oof Woof Walkies.”

“I feel so lucky to have found Rebecca for my lurcher Monty. He absolutely loves their walks and comes home happy and tired every time. Rebecca is kind, very reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I also really enjoy being able to see updates from the walk on her instagram stories. It’s such a relief knowing Monty is in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Home from home, best doggy day care ever. Howie has been going to Willsbridge Walkies for almost 4 years and I know he loves every minute with Tania, her family and all his doggy friends. He has great fun, running, playing and loves her comfortable home, with loads of super soft places to cuddle and snooze. Howie is a lovely calm, friendly boy and I know that Tania can take the credit for much of this as she has helped bring up him so very well. Day care and boarding, I can relax and get on with my day, knowing Howie is safe, cared for and so very happy. Tania notices and adjusts her care to meet each dog’s individual preferences. She knows all their little quirks. She really is the best dog carer and we would be lost without her. She has also helped me out over the years during personal emergencies. Her family are amazing with the dogs too, it really is home from home. Tania is Howie’s second mummy, a friend and one that I can rely on and trust implicitly to always do the best for my precious boy. Thank you Tania”

“We have used Executive Dogs for over a year now with our dogs Beau and Lily and they absolutely love staying with their Aunty Mandy. We know they are well looked after to the point I am not sure they are that keen come home!!”

““Mrs Howell, for Libby... "thank you Erika for ‘sitting’ with Libby and taking her for walks when I am unable to. It’s good to know I can call on you any time (and at short notice) as you’re always flexible and really try to fit Libby in. I can totally rely on you and know Libby is in safe hands (and thanks for helping me do a tidy round too!)".”

“I would like to say how pleased I am with Pippa's Patch dog walking service. Biscuit loves her walks and is much calmer and happier when we get home from work. Becky (Biscuit, Bichon Frise)”

“Very professional and reassuring to know my dog is in such experienced and caring hands.”

“We've used Steph for a few years, mainly now for group walking of our younger dog. Reliable in pick up times, and our Labrador Lucy loves her walks, especially the variety of places they go (and with water visits!!!) . Our other, more elderly dog has been a guest at their hotel too and was very well looked after. Highly recommended to all.”

“Vicky and Kerry are an amazing team who provided care for my dog since she was a puppy. We started with home visits as a pup and worked our way up to big group walks. I’m so happy with the service and would highly recommend them for all your pet care needs!”

“Linzi is one of those very special people who is utterly dependable, full of common sense, endlessly kind, calm and patient and always goes the extra mile. She has looked after various animals, plants, house stuff for us since 2017 and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“I emailed Vick with an enquiry today, having never previously had any contact with her. Not only did she message me back the same afternoon (despite the fact she'd done SIX walks in horrendous rain today) but she also encouraged me to give her a call straight away. I've just finished talking to her and I've genuinely never come across any business owner who's as keen to help as she was. It's certainly not because she needs new customers - she's booked up to the eyeballs. She's just an incredibly helpful and warm person who bent over backwards to assist with the particular challenges faced by my Dad and his dog. Thanks so much Vick - you're a star!”

“Friendly, professional service and my dog loves it here!”

“So glad I discovered Pawtrails because my dog loves his walks and the doggy pals he has made. He is better socialised now and Karen, whilst loving dogs, also has a lot of experience and keeps control.”

“Milo is a big dog, no doubt about it. Anna at we love pets hasn't been fazed by this and has been absolutely fantastic with him for his walks. Occasionally we have been home to see how excited he gets when she arrives to take him out. We're even more happy to see how tired out he is when he gets home. Not to mention the price for a one to one walk is really good. Very good value for money! So far our experience with We Love Pets has been fantastic. I'm sure they will continue to impress.”

“Dene has provided day care and holidays for Hugo and Coco for almost 4 years and comes highly recommended. I always have total peace of mind when Dene is caring from them and it is just like home from home. Hugo and Coco are always so pleased to see Dene when she arrives to collect them and looks forward to wonderful walks in the countryside with all their doggy friends. Dene is very approachable, versatile and always goes that extra mile to help out when needed and provides bespoke individual care for all the doggies she cares for and comprehends their individual personalities. If you want a home from home, caring and loving environment for your doggy whilst at work or on holiday, then Dene provides an outstanding 5 star service that is excellent and second to none.”

“We have been using Clare for over 6 months now for a weekly walk with our two dogs. They say dogs are excellent judges of character and I don’t think that could be more true. Our two boys have had many interactions with different dog walkers over their lives and I can hand on heart say they have never been as excited or happy as they are to go on walks with Clare. She offers them important variety in the walks, and going as a group provides excellent socialisation. My two always come back extremely happy and then once calmed down snooze for the next 48 hours to recover. Clare in herself is very friendly and approachable and has on more than one occasion gone above and beyond when we have had short notice asks for our boys as well. Simply fantastic and can not recommend enough. Clare is a person who truly cares about the dogs she is taking out and shows that in everything she does. Cost wise, very reasonably priced. We send two dogs out at a time and can not fault the cost of this at all. 100% recommended.”

“Sarah is incredible and Kora loves her SO MUCH. I can't recommend River Wood enough!!!”

“If you looking for someone who will look after your dog like it was their own then I can’t recommend Leonie enough. Harley has been going to Leonie for 3 months and she absolutely loves her time spent playing - generally in the mud or any sight of water... it’s as if Harley knows what day of the week it is as she eagerly awaits Leonie’s arrival with her best mates, and she becomes very excitable... we have no worries about Harley as we know she’s so well looked after and in THE BEST hands.”
