“Alan and Luis took great care of our Maggie. We are planning a longer vacation in the near future. I wanted Maggie to have an opportunity to get acclimated before our longer trip. Maggie was only at Alan and Luis’ house for one night and I received multiple photos. It was so reassuring that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend them.”

Our little old guy came home with a pep in his steps and we are so eternally grateful for their care. Her little furbabies are so intuitive and knew how to gently treat our old guy too.”

She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my whole life. I have had all different breeds and potty trained them all. I love getting them a workout and making sure they’re loved! Pet care will fit naturally into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule can vary, so some days I may be home all day, while other days I may not be home until around 5 PM. Regardless of my schedule, they will always receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Someone is home throughout the day, so they will not be left alone for long periods of time. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they are happy and well cared for. I will always make time in my schedule to give them the attention and care they deserve. I have a yard in a quiet neighborhood where pets can enjoy outdoor time and play. Although the yard is not fenced, I can safely use a longer leash for supervised outdoor exercise and play. I am also comfortable using a crate if needed or if that is part of the pet’s normal routine. I will make sure pets get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, attention, and care while keeping their safety a priority. I am happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and any instructions provided by their owner.

“Thank you Kevin for taking care of Rocco while my family and I were on vacation. Kevin has a warm and caring personality so we felt comfortable to leave our 10 month old husky under his care for 7 days after only 5 minutes of first meeting him. Kevin provided exceptional care to our Rocco and keep us updated by sending pictures and videos of the adventures Rocco experienced while we were away. We will definitely work with Kevin again, and of course recommend him to care for your dog. Thank you Kevin 😊”

About: I’ve trained multiple dogs for obedience & hunting, which I’ve dedicated several months to do for each pup. I have a 10 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that’s very well trained and well behaved. I work from home, so I’m here all day unless I go out for something at the store or gym. If gone, I always let the dog roam free and keep the tv on for him. Naturally I play with the pup several times a day. My office is connected to the backyard, so I can throw the ball or play often. I have no issues letting the dog outside whenever they’d like.

Rod was great with Maple. She was sad when it was time to go home because she had so much fun. He kept me updated throughout her whole stay with photos, let me know about how she was eating, and gave her plenty of time to run around and spend all of her energy.

Stephawna and her husband are amazing. They took great care of Rosie and treated her like their own. I loved the regular updates and communication. The atmosphere was completely laid back and stress-free. There's nothing I would change about our time with Stephawna, it was flawless. I can't wait to re-book!!!

I had an amazing experience with this dog sitter. They were truly wonderful—reliable, caring, and incredibly attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog Jacob was in such good hands. This was the first time Jacob actually wanted to go back and even seemed to miss his caregivers, which says everything about the love and attention he received. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bristol on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 938 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bristol. About 91% of Bristol sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

Every sitter 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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
