“Cynthia is fantastic! She provided house sitting services for our two dogs this past week and she was wonderful. She sent pics each day along with quick updates. The dogs were happy and the house pristine when we returned. We will absolutely rebook her for our future house sitting needs! Thanks again Cynthia”
“Nancy did a fantastic job caring for my dog and cat while my wife and I were out of town for a couple of days. She treated our boys like her own pets and made sure she understood all of their care details during our meet and greet. She's very communicative and sent us plenty of updates with photos while we were away. And, she was a great guest while she stayed at our home. I'll definitely be requesting Nancy to care for our pets in the future!”
“Kimberley was fantastic and we highly recommend her. Our dogs clearly love her, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Her experience caring for diabetic dogs was especially invaluable and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house — we will continue booking with her!”
“Sandra was amazing. She was very responsive with communication. Our girls were so well taken care of. Enjoyed seeing the pics she sent showing our happy girls. She left the house in perfect order. Will reach out to her again.”
“This is the second time Elena has watched our home and our pets while we were away. This time was even over a holiday week. We are so grateful for her care and concern for pets. Our flight was incredibly delayed by a half a day. She was super flexible and still cared for our pets. She responds quickly and is very kind.”
“Gavin did a great job taking care of all our sweet boys! We came home to happy boys! Gavin was great at following directions and provided updates and pictures. I worked gladly book Gavin again and highly recommend him!”
“Ace was amazing! Punctual and communicative through the whole process. I love that they took notes and asked questions for Theodore and Mabel's care. I felt that they were in good hands and they both seemed to enjoy the company.”
“I was very hesitant on trying this app for our “babies” while we were gone but Leo was awesome and I couldn’t recommend him more! He was very good with communication and what we needed done for the dogs. He always asked if there was more he could do and respectful of our home. I will 100% use him again when needed and would recommend him 10/10. He put me at ease about being away and our animals being able to stay home and be taken care of. Thank you so much Leo, can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you!”
“Kayly did a great job with Roux today! She was very communicative, patient, and kept me updated throughout the visit. I really appreciated how attentive she was to Roux and her routine, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Roux was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Kayly and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Lana was fantastic! With this being the first time I’ve had someone else stay and take care of my baby, I was nervous but she was wonderful! Sent me updates and pictures! I came home to my pup being happy and the house so well taken care of! We’ve already booked our next stay! :)”
“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”
About: I'm currently a fur mom to two dogs and one cat! I've grown up with pets, so I can guarantee that your pets will receive unlimited cuddles and attention. I have experience working at a doggie day care, monitoring and playing with around 30+ dogs per day! I'm comfortable with all breeds and all sizes. I promise that your fur babies will receive the same high-quality care you give them when under my care. I'm transitioning jobs currently, so I'm home all the time with loads of free time. I'd love to get more active walking dogs or working a second job, like pet sitting, while in the middle of this change. The care the client gives the pet will be the same care I give, if not even more. I know that when pet parents go away, there's anxiety on both ends, so I want to ensure that the pets' schedules are followed and try to keep things the same, in order to limit that anxiety.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of numerous types of animals, primarily cats and dogs. My neighbors, family and friends rely on me for their pet care needs because I treat them as my own, giving them love and attention in addition to their regular feedings and potty needs. I am available on the weekends! On Friday’s, my availability would start after 5pm. I am available all day on Saturdays. Sunday’s I do take care of horses during the day from 9am-3pm; however, I am available before and after for walks and potty breaks. I make your pet’s needs my main priority. If they should make any messes while you are away, I always do my best to clean it up as thought it never happened, so you can come home to a happy fur baby and find your home just the way you left it.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Meaghan was great! Her communication was excellent, from my first contact with her, through the meet and greet, to the actual home stay. She was always on time, and worked well with my animals. The house was clean when I returned...she was a perfect guest. I'd definitely recommend her.
We had a wonderful experience with Tania! She took such good care of all three of our dogs and left our home clean and well cared for. She was responsive, communicative, and kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Tania again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We got so lucky Justin was available for a last minute booking. Justin is very polite and professional as well as responsive. Our dog has been anxious when we traveled before but she did great being able to stay at our house with Justin. He was so kind to my kids at the meet and greet, took great care of our dog and home, and sent videos while we were gone. We highly recommend him and will be reaching out to him again next time we need a sitter. Thank you!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bristol walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bristol maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bristol choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
