“Roderick walked my three dogs and handled them with remarkable calm; that’s no small feat when two of them pull. He took every photo and logged every entry in the app, which is genuinely hard to do with three dogs on leash. We’d absolutely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.”

“We had a great experience with Nataliia watching oir dog for a week while we were out of town. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Nataliia pays close attention to detail — from monitoring food and water bowl levels to sending regular picture updates and check-ins throughout the week.”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as this is my full-time job. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks, ensuring pets aren’t left alone for long. While I’m not offering overnight house sitting at the moment, I’m happy to provide house sittings during the day or evening. If I have a dog walk or drop-in, I may step out briefly and return. I will always keep my clients informed of my availability so they know they can rely on me. I love shaping my day around the pets I care for—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines—so I can keep their comfort and consistency at the heart of everything I do. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’m very invested in the wellbeing and safety of all pets. I give my pets lots of love and attention and I will make sure to do the same with your pet. They hold such a special place in our heart and therefore are deserving of the best treatment. Every dog or cat I’ve had in my life I’ve made sure to give plenty of exercise and play time. And with your pets I will treat them as one of my own. I have a great love and passion for all animals and am excited to meet your fur babies. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of availability to be there for you and your pets when needed. I will post my schedule on the Rover app. I have two cats and I always make sure they have a clean litter pan and bowl, fresh water and food. I would feel most comfortable walking clients pets on leashes unless there is a fenced in back yard. I found that the invisible fence to not be as effective. One thing I’ll always ask clients before meeting or entering their home is if your pet is comfortable meeting strangers. Another thing I will ask is does your pet have any food allergies. Safety is my number one priority.

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.

About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bristol. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
