About: My family has had dogs (German Shepherd and Golden Retrievers) and cats (all rescued strays) for as long as I can remember. We have always treated them like family. I’ve been taking care of all our pets since I was 12 years old and continue to do so. Whether it is routine feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications or vet appointments, I handle it all for our pets. I love being able to spend time playing with the pets from tug of war to fetch or just plain running around with them in the yard. Right now this would be my only job. My schedule is open and fully flexible to meet your pet care needs whatever they may be. I will always treat your pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. I am happy to follow any specific instructions that you may have in regards to your pet care.

They've got to be treated like their family and that's what I always do with dogs I meet.
“Steve was fantastic with my three dogs! His calm, easygoing energy made a noticeable difference right away. One of my dogs, Dolly, typically needs some time to warm up to new people but almost immediately she was walking happy and relaxed. This honestly blew me away. It's clear Steve has a natural way with dogs. I'd highly recommend him, especially if you have a pup that can be a little hesitant with strangers. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“Priscilla is kind and bonded with my dog instantly. This is my first time using a service like this and I can't tell you what a relief it is to know my dog is loved by her as much as I do. Highly recommend.”
“Mike has helped walked my dogs on three occasions He’s always on time and we have had great conversations about our dogs and various other topics Looking forward to our future walks 😀”
“James was absolutely wonderful with my three dogs! He's the first walker who managed to bring all three of them to the door together, calmly and in control. That's no small feat! On top of that, he handled an unexpected and upsetting situation with my neighbor with complete composure and professionalism. I was truly impressed. My dogs were happy and well cared for; I'm looking forward to booking him again. Highly recommend James to anyone, especially multi-dog households!”
“Michael did a wonderful job taking care of Bella from September of 2025 to now. I was worried that she would give him a hard time because she was 15 years old but he treated her very well! 🙏💔🙌”
“Nataliia has been a joy to have walking my dog 4 times per week for the past three months. She is 100% reliable and easy to communicate with. She didn’t just walk my dog but takes her to parks and trails which is much more enriching. I was able to have a stress free few months knowing that my girl was in good hands while I was at work.”
“Allison is so sweet and wonderful with our dog. She’s punctual, thorough and communicates really well. We trust her, she’s responsible and seems to really care. We are very grateful to her and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

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: Since childhood, dogs have been an integral part of my life, starting with two Pomeranians, followed by an energetic Shiba Inu named Akira, and a loving lab mix German Shepherd named Stella. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience caring for these pets—whether through cuddling, playing, feeding, walks, or adventures. I've also spent time teaching them tricks and handling their grooming needs. Earlier this year, I began offering overnight and day sitting services, along with walks, for friends on Rover, and later extended my services to family and other referrals. I focus on building strong bonds and trust with the animals I care for, tailoring our time together to ensure it's both enjoyable and enriching. I've worked with dogs ranging from 4-month-old puppies to older dogs aged 13-14, and have experience with both a kitten and an adult cat. My approach is patient, compassionate, and dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every animal I care for. I'm a makeup artist who works both on location and from home. With a flexible schedule, I currently have plenty of free time to spend with your dog! **Dog Walking**: I tailor each walk to the dog’s individual energy level, adjusting the pace and distance to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. I also provide opportunities for exploration while keeping safety in mind, and I’m attentive to any health considerations or special preferences they may have. **Overnight Sitting**: When staying in a client’s home, I prioritize the pet’s comfort and security by sticking to their regular routine as much as possible. This includes consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and providing companionship to ease any anxiety, particularly during the night. In everything I do, my primary goal is to build trust with each pet, providing them with a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and valued—whether I’m working in my own home or in a client’s.
“We have an older dog that has heart problems so I'm very concerned about who he's with and how he's treated katelyn was excellent. I would definitely use her again you can trust her with your fur baby”
About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a puppy and two orange cats with varying needs, including medical care and anxiety management. I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and recognizing individual pet personalities. My experience with an anxious cat taught me to be patient and observant while creating calm, structured environments. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated throughout their time away. I work remotely Monday-Friday on a flexible but structured schedule (7am-4pm or 10am-6pm), which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my work day. Remote work means I can provide local visits and midday check-ins, and I’m particularly well-suited for pets with medical needs or anxiety that benefit from frequent attention and stability. I’m detail-oriented, punctual, and follow your instructions precisely. I am especially attuned to anxious pets or those with medical needs. I watch for common behavioral and health changes, communicate regularly with updates, and treat every pet like family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bristol on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bristol.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
