“Nicholas not only exceeds pet parent expectations with his attention to detail, he’s also quite the “dog-whisperer.” My Willy seems to really do well with pottying and eating when Nicholas visits. It’s a very good feeling knowing Nicholas is caring for my little guy.”
“Tessa was great with both our dog and our cat. She kept us updated on all of her visits and kept in communication with us when she had questions. We know our animals were in good hands while we were travelling!”
About: Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies & up to three in a home at a time. Friends, family (& now clients!) have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks, dog park visits & assisting with training. I'm big on positive reinforcement to bring out the best in them. Experienced walking three medium/large dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs & their needs, including handling seizures & the appropriate care. Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues & trying to ramp up my activity until I'm able to return to my career as a creative pro. I treat them as their own beings & not 'just' pets by understanding their physical, mental & emotional requirements, doing my best to meet or exceed them. My lifelong interest in psychology has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals & I feel the joy they've given me over the course of my life should be shared with others & their owners. Upon getting my incredible APBT girl I dedicated months & months to reading & watching everything I possibly could to ensure my behavior would set them up for success no matter the situation, so far that personal mission has been an exciting & fulfilling experience.
“Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!”
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 was wonderful, our poochie loved her. She is very personable and is punctual. She sent loads of pictures daily, which I loved that. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Jade was so attentive and went above and beyond with our cats. We received daily updates with awesome photos and you could really tell they were being cared for by someone who generally loves animals. We would 100% book again with Jade!”
“Larissa is wonderful and so caring for our pups. She paid special attention to our gentle old lady dog and seemed amused by our precocious younger one. Will happily hire her again.”
About: Hello, I am 23 years old. Love taking care of dogs and cats; been doing it for 10 years now. I want to do something healthy for myself, service pet owners and help them with their pets. I am very easy-going, caring, gentle, compassionate, and love people and their pets. I love being outside, at coffee shops, reading, painting, and traveling. I would love to become more than just your average pet care helper but become more like family and/or good friends. I can’t wait to get to know you and learn so much about serving you.

I enjoy spending quality time with your fur baby just to ensure safety and comfort with both me and your pet.
“Nina is very responsible and took great care of my new puppy, Charlotte. She played with her, took her outside gave her a snack and made sure she is left in her enclosed area. Will definitely re-hire!”
About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. They have a huge back yard to enjoy running around with their tongues hanging to the ground lol! We usually bathe them outside before heading in on hot summer days. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life! From dogs to cats to horses, I have both domestic and farm animal experience! I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!

Cheyenne is the absolute BEST sitter we have ever used. She is always on time, sends lots of pictures, and leaves detailed reviews of what took place during the visit. Our Emma adores her, and we have the piece of mind that she’s in the best hands while we are away.
Nick has bonded really well with my little meatball pitbull. We're very appreciative of the great care he provides for our girl but even the little things he does that are above and beyond such as bringing up the trash barrel and bringing in the Amazon packages! Thank you Nick for all you do!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bristol on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,659 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
- 98% 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.
