“Roger was absolutely amazing with my dog! I have a Siberian Husky who can be a LOT to handle, and Roger walked him for a full week and handled him perfectly. He was reliable, patient, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. I would 100% hire Roger again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs! 🐾❤️”

I currently work at home so I’m able to come during the week at the times u need to take care of ur fur baby. I have a fenced in yard along with a 16 year old golden retriever maisy. I live with my mother who is the biggest dog lover as well. I grew up with 2 German shepherd bd a mini dachshund so I’m good with all Breeds and sizes. We also have a crate at our home if u need boarding
“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!”

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.

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.

“It was another wonderful walk with Mike. Samson and Sadie get excited when he arrives and behave themselves during the walking process. I am glad to have Mike available to help out with my dogs. thanks Mike”

“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.”

“Rachael was incredible! Super flexible, always on time, and knew how to care for our dogs. It’s hard to find someone willing to care for our big babies but she rose up to the challenge. She is always super detailed in how the walks go and keeps us informed about anything that we should know about. We highly recommend Rachael, super polite and responds super quick! Our dogs absolutely loved her, we will definitely be booking again when we need a dog walker. Thank you Rachael!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bristol on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,538 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
