The South Gloucestershire dog walking team was established in 2011 and is managed by Lucy. Lucy and the South Gloucestershire pet care team can provide a range of dog walking and other pet care services, including overnight boarding, pet visits, doggy day care, small animal boarding and house sitting. We also offer bespoke wedding packages to allow your pet to be a part of your special day. We aim to tailor our services to the needs of you and your pet so please always ask us if you are interested in a different service and we will do our utmost to help. The team covers the most of the South Gloucestershire area including Warmley, Wick, Bitton, Longwell Green and Mangotsfield. Please see below for a full list of areas and of the postcode areas we cover. We are fully insured and licensed for home boarding. Your animal’s welfare and the security of you and your pet are our paramount concern. All of our pet carers hold a basic disclosure and are trained in canine first aid and all of our managers are trained Canine First Responders. We do not arrive at your home in sign written vehicles and we offer our pet carers ongoing training and support. We are members of the Pet Industry Federation (the membership association for pet industry specialists in the UK) and we are committed to their member charter. We are the only pet care company in South Gloucestershire to be listed as dog walkers and pet sitters on the Pet Industry Federation’s website of quality assured pet businesses. Lucy and her team were awarded the Bristol Business Award 2018 for Customer Service and were also shortlisted for Dog Walking Business of the Year as well as Home Boarding Service of the Year at the Pet Industry Federation Awards 2018. There are so many fantastic places to walk in the areal but some of our favourites include:-
The Bristol Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Team is managed by Lucy. She lives with her two fur babies, Maisie and Alfie the miniature dachshunds. She has always been an animal lover, having grown up in Wales with cats and dogs in her family, as well as guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even terrapins at one point! Her background is in law and she qualified as a solicitor over ten years ago. In 2018, when Lucy was looking for day care options for Maisie and Alfie, she came across Friends for Pets. She ended up having a conversation with Becca which turned out to be life changing – it came at a time when Lucy was feeling totally disillusioned with working full time in an office environment. She knew she wanted to do something else so when Becca mentioned that an opportunity had come up in the Bristol team she jumped at the chance, and the rest is history! Lucy has a fantastic team of pet carers, as well as her area supervisor Kelly. Through the hard work of them all, they have built up an absolutely amazing pet care offering in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas. All of our pet carers have close relationships with their clients and their pets and the team really does aim to be part of your extended family! Lucy and her team can offer dog walking, overnight pet boarding, doggy day care, pet visits, house sitting and other services tailored to the needs of you and your pet. Lucy is always looking for excellent pet carers to join the team, so if you are interested in a role with us please apply via our website.
