Where Little Paws Feel At Home

Dog Boarding and Day Care in Bristol for toy & small breeds up to 10kg

Welcome to Jackson Tiny Tails!

Hello and welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Jo, and I offer a calm, loving home-from-home day care and boarding service based in Bristol, exclusively for toy and small breeds up to 10kg. But this is more than just a business to me, it’s something deeply personal, shaped by the love I’ve shared with my dogs, Jack and Sonny, and the quiet companionship of my dad.

Personal Approach

Every dog I welcome is treated as I would treat my own. Their comfort, safety, and emotional wellbeing are always my priority, whether they’re staying just for the day or for a longer visit.

Calm home-from-Home Care

I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, whether it’s just for the day or for a longer stay. That’s why I offer both day care and overnight boarding, in a calm, loving environment that truly feels like home.

Small Numbers, Big Care

I’m fully licensed to care for up to five dogs. Most of the time I keep numbers to three or four so each guest receives the calm and individual attention they deserve.

Let’s Take It Slow

I work with each family to create a gradual, reassuring transition. For nervous dogs, I can offer short visits, two hours, then four, and build up slowly. Many owners tell me this personal, phased approach makes a real difference.

more Than just a place to stay

Dogs are welcome in all areas of my home, whether that’s joining me on the sofa or finding a cosy spot of their own. If they are used to sleeping on the bed at home, they are welcome to do the same here, helping them feel safe and settled.

I follow each dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable
Cuddles and company are always available
Every guest is treated as part of the family

Why Choose Jackson Tiny Tails

This isn’t just a job to me, it’s a continuation of the love I still carry for Little Jack, Sonny, and my dad.

What My Clients Say

Jo is absolutely fantastic with my 3 little ones! I have never felt confident to leave them as Minnie can be quite unpredictable and Jo having had the breed herself was completely understanding and confident with her and her sassy nature… Read more

Jackson tiny tails was exactly what we were looking for. Specialising in smaller dogs suited our requirements as our dog is a little bit nervous of bigger dogs. Jo was fantastic from start to finish keeping us updated. It’s so obvious that she loves the dogs and has only their best interest in mind. Won’t hesitate to use Jo again.

I was desperately trying to find someone to look after Dottie (poodle 12 years) while a went to a funeral in Weymouth on a very hot day. Jackson came up with a place at very short notice . So helpful. In the end I didn’t have to use them but so helpful will keep in mind for future. Thanks again.

Mary

As someone who has to board their dog perhaps more than any other human on the planet, it is imperative that the place is just right. Jackson Tiny Tails is more than that. It is more than a home from home for my dachshund Nina, Infact I think she is more excited to be there than at home and Jo is so lovely that often times so am I… Read more

I highly recommend Joanna at Jackson Tiny Tails for doggy day care. Joanna is so caring, attentive and loving and does everything possible to ensure dog/s have a wonderful time during their stay at her home. She adores doggies and provides a safe, fun and loving home away from home environment for all her guests.

Helen

My beloved little shichon adores staying at Jackson Tiny Tails – she has a fantastic time with Jo, filled with stimulating games, walks, healthy treats and many cuddles. When I leave my dog with Jo I know that she will be loved as much as I love her and be very happy. Thank you!

What My Clients Say

5 stars isn’t enough – Jo is just brilliant, I almost don’t want to let anyone else in on the secret! We met her at a bichon meet up where she had taken a dog she had boarding out for the day, spoiling him with biscuits and puppacinos. Straight away I knew she genuinely cared and has such a love for dogs. After visiting her home, Jo initially had our dog for a day visit, then an overnight, a weekend and then a full week – every time he has been we’ve been so reassured with lovely photos and updates, and we can tell he’s having such a great time. I’m so glad we’ve found Jo (and so is our dog as he now has a new aunty!

Benji stayed with Jo for a week whilst we were on holiday. It was the first time we hadn’t used family to look after Benji and Jo made us feel comfortable the second we met her. She absolutely loves dogs and is a natural with them and it really shows. The photos and videos she sent daily showed that Benji was having a whale of a time out on his walks and playing with his friends at Jo’s home. We thoroughly recommend Jo and would use her again

It is clear that Jo is very experienced when it comes to looking after dogs reading their behaviours and what they need as well as providing an abundance of love. Most importantly I trust her completely and don’t have to worry for a second whilst I’m away.
If you are looking for a person who will care for your dogs and go above and beyond to make sure they are happy; you have come to the right place!

FAQs

Yes, I’m fully licensed by the Bristol City Council (Licence Number AWLA/121320) for up to 5 dogs, but I choose to care for no more than 3 or 4 at a time. This way, I can give each dog the calm, individual attention they deserve, without things ever feeling busy or overwhelming.

I care for toy or small breed dogs up to 10kg as often small dogs prefer to enjoy the company of other small dogs.

I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and since starting Jackson Tiny Tails, I’ve created a calm, loving home where every dog is treated like family. I only welcome a small number of little dogs at a time, so I can get to know each one and give them the attention, comfort, and gentle care they deserve.

Yes, please. Keeping your dog on their usual diet is important for their comfort and health. It helps avoid upset tummies during their stay. You can also bring their treats, favourite bowl, or anything else that makes them feel settled.

At the moment, I don’t offer transport, I’ve found it’s best for owners to drop off and collect their dogs themselves.

Absolutely. Whether you’re away for a weekend or a few weeks, your dog will be part of my home for the whole stay. For longer bookings, it’s especially important to do a couple of trial visits first, so they feel relaxed and happy from the start.

To meet licensing requirements, any dog staying for longer than three nights must complete an overnight trial first. Some owners also like to arrange shorter trial visits, such as a couple of hours or a half-day, to help their dog get used to me and my home, but this is completely optional.

Dogs sleep where they feel most comfortable, just as they do at home. Many choose to curl up on my bed, and I’m very happy for them to do so. Others prefer their own bed or a cosy spot elsewhere. The important thing is that they settle down to sleep feeling safe and secure.
