About: What sets me apart is my practical, real-world experience handling a wide variety of animal needs and environments. Working behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic taught me how to keep pet spaces clean and safe, while my time on a goat farm gave me the hands-on confidence to administer injections. Combined with giving oral medications to my own cat and senior dog, I am uniquely equipped to care for animals with specific health routines. Because I offer care exclusively in your home, I specialize in keeping independent pets safe, happy, and relaxed right in their own familiar surroundings. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Sunday through Thursday, I am available for overnight house sitting in your home. Please note that from Tuesday to Thursday, I do leave for a 6-hour work shift during the day, making me a perfect match for independent pets who don't mind some alone time. I utilize my mornings, late afternoons, and evenings on those days for dedicated care, walks, and drop-ins. On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available strictly for daytime walks and drop-in visits, as I stay out of town those nights. I provide pet care exclusively inside the client's home, keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. When house sitting or dropping in, my priority is maintaining their exact daily routine. Thanks to my clinic helper and farm background, I am completely confident following complex instructions, keeping spaces clean, and administering oral medications or injections. You will receive regular updates, and you can rest assured your home and pets are cared for with a professional eye.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

Elizabeth did a fantastic job in her visits with my cat Star. She did everything I asked of her including a couple of last minute instructions I had while away. She also sent messages with pictures which gave me plenty of piece of mind knowing my little buddy was okay. I highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. Superb job!

Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bristol on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 2,625 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bristol stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.

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 sitter.
