Doggy Daycare Jobs in Bristol

Plenty of Bristol owners are back in the office two or three days a week, and a dog left alone from morning to evening needs somewhere to spend those hours. Petme daycare hosts cover that gap from their own home, taking a handful of dogs for supervised play, rest and walk breaks while their people are at work. Doggy daycare in Bristol runs £22 to £38 per day, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.

A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Bristol

Bristol has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.

When owners travel

Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.

Know your Bristol pickup areas

Most daycare bookings cluster Clifton to Redland. Owners drop off on the way to work and collect afterwards, so an easy run to your door matters more than how far you are willing to travel. Your space decides how many dogs you take at once.

Breeds you will meet in Bristol

Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Daycare in Bristol

Weekday daycare near the centre and Temple Quarter

Doggy daycare on Petme happens at your home, for owners out at work during the day. Clifton and Redland are a short commute from the centre and Temple Quarter, Southville and Bedminster sit just south of the harbour, and Montpelier and Easton have Montpelier and Stapleton Road stations on the Severn Beach line. Hosting from one or two neighbouring areas keeps drop-offs short without long drives across the city.

Common questions

Doggy Daycare Jobs in Bristol

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Bristol.

Are there jobs in Bristol?
Yes. Getting started in Bristol takes being 18 or over, a smartphone with the Petme app and ID verification. After that you set your services and rates, and payouts reach your bank within 2 business days.
Are there jobs in Bedminster?
Yes. On Petme you work in Bristol as self-employed, with no assigned shifts and no minimum hours. You choose the areas you cover and the rate per service, and owners nearby send requests you accept or decline.
Can I pick up doggy daycare jobs near me in Bristol?
Start by narrowing your Bristol coverage rather than widening it. A tight area means the requests that reach you are genuinely nearby, and you can always extend it once your week has room.
How much do doggy daycare hosts earn per day in Bristol?
Doggy daycare on Petme in Bristol runs £22 to £38 per day. You set your own day rate and headcount, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What protection comes with daycare bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including doggy daycare, includes £20,000 in Protection Plan for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies across Clifton and Bedminster.
What does a doggy daycare day involve?
Owners drop off in the morning and pick up after work. You provide a safe space, supervised play, water, rest time, and photo updates through the day. Most Bristol hosts take a small group they can manage comfortably.
Do I need a yard or a commercial space for daycare in Bristol?
No. Many Petme hosts run daycare from a home or an apartment with regular walk breaks, from Clifton to Bedminster. You set how many dogs you accept at once and whether your space suits high-energy or large breeds.
Can I set my own daycare schedule and headcount in Bristol?
Yes. You choose your days, your hours, and how many dogs you host at a time, and you accept or decline each request. No assigned shifts and no minimum hours, whether owners come from Clifton or Bedminster.
What does a wet winter daycare day look like in Bristol?
Shorter outdoor bursts and more indoor rest. A Bristol daycare day in January runs on indoor play with brief garden or street breaks rather than long stretches outside, towels by the door, and muddy paws cleaned off before pick-up. Set drop-off and pick-up windows you can hold in winter traffic and stick to them.
When do Bristol owners drop off and collect for daycare?
Daycare follows the working day: owners drop off on their way into the centre or Temple Quarter and collect after work. You set the exact window, and hosting near a main route in lets you offer an earlier start. Mornings and evenings are when parking near your door matters most.
Is small-group daycare better than taking one dog at a time in Bristol?
Small groups of three to five calm, sociable dogs usually earn more per day than solo daycare and suit most Bristol homes, from a Southville terrace to a Clifton flat. Solo or pair care is the better fit for anxious dogs, high-energy breeds or seniors who find a group tiring. You set the headcount and can mix both across the week depending on which dogs you accept.
