“Carol is truly the best. She takes wonderful care of my mom’s dog, but what sets her apart is the kindness and patience she shows my elderly mother. Knowing she’s there gives our whole family such peace of mind. We’re grateful to have her.”

About: I have had pets throughout my life from guinea pigs and cats to dogs and bunnies. I currently lift spirits at an assistant living facility weekly with our family dog, Bandit. I’ve been called an animal whisperer. Anxious to meet your pets and spend some time with them. I am currently retired and although I will have a few block out dates, my schedule is usually very flexible. I still enjoy working some and want to add animals to my day. I can drop in your home to check on, feed, give some attention to, let out and/or walk your dog. Same gentle friendly care for other domestic animals too

About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes our pets are part of the family. 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who would love the opportunity to care for your dog while you’re away or give them some extra love and exercise during the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. A Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix! Having dogs with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding that every dog has their own unique needs and routine. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks & house sitting, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs some playtime and attention, or simply wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is doing well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m able to plan my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. I have two dogs of my own so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, food, and fresh water they need. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am working full-time at an elementary school in Minooka. As I share similar hours with our students, my availability Monday through Friday will only be after 3:30pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

About: Family first, paws included! I offer specialized care for all ages, from energetic puppy training to gentle, comforting support for senior dogs. Your pet is in safe, loving hands. My weekly routine is built around providing active, engaging, and reliable pet care. I dedicate my mornings to walks and puppy training reinforcement, afternoons to enriching playtime, and evenings to relaxed downtime with senior pets. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific feeding and sleeping habits to ensure a seamless, stress-free transition. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Because I believe pets are family, I create a calm, completely hazard-free environment whether they are staying with me or I am visiting your home. I double-check all gates and doors, use secure leashes on every walk, and ensure living areas—including litter boxes—are kept impeccably clean. I always send frequent photo updates so you know your best friend is safe.

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!

About: I currently work at a dog facility where we offer daycare and boarding, which has given me hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, personalities, and sizes of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and keeping them active. I genuinely love meeting new dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me! I currently work part-time at a dog facility and have school on some Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable those days. I’m available for dog walks on other weekdays and weekends, depending on my work schedule. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and find a time that works for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience taking care of dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities through my job at a dog facility. During walks, I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your dog, and make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to help with walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure every dog feels cared for while their owners are away. I’ve always loved being around animals of all kinds, and I’m currently a college student and unemployed, so I’m home most of the time with a flexible schedule to give dogs plenty of attention. I’m a college student and currently unemployed, which means I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. The only times I’m not available are Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I’m in class. Other than that, I’m available 24/7 for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, and I love spending extra time with pets. I live in a safe townhouse that’s comfortable for pets and great for walks around the neighborhood. I can also care for pets in their owners homes to keep them a familiar routine. I always make sure feeding, playtime, and any special instructions are followed. Pets are treated like family, with lots of attention, love, and a safe environment whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: I love any kind of animal no matter the size or disability. My care experience encompases anywhere from a shy greyhound rescue, a protective pitt bull, to multiple chihuahuas, and everything in between. I have been giving care for pets for 15 years and been loving on pets for as long as I can remember. My favorite part is spoiling them with the attention that they desire. Im a stay at home mom with lots of free time. I am very active and love being outdoors so your furry family member will get plenty of play time and attention in my care. I like to abide by what the owner's preferences are to guide what activities I do with their pets. After those guidelines, I let their pet lead our time together based on their wants and needs. It truly is about the happiness and safety of your pet at the end of the day and I hope to gain your trust in the process.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Bristol on Rover is $17.76 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 2,914 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:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
