“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”
“Would 100% book Roger again! I had a last minute need for a sitter (I was already across the country) and he was worried about finding my reactive aussie a good fit. Roger was able to not only check all the boxes, but also go above and beyond. Communication and flexibility were a 10/10. It was clear my dog had a great time & hopes to see him again soon!”
“Balbina went above and beyond with my pups! She even washed the dog bowls and cleaned up the yard. Communication was easy and she was very responsive. I’ll use her again!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!
“Alexandra was amazing with our dog. She gave so many updates, was responsive to all of my messages, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Max at home where he prefers to be. We will definitely rebook Alexandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Carol was extremely helpful in caring for Dante while we were out. She did a great job and gave Dante an excellent level of care that went beyond our expectations!”
“Jessi has been awesome letting the pups out. She always sends a lot of pictures and information on how the dogs are doing. We have used her multiple times and will continue to use her”
“Lauchlan was flexible & prompt with her drop in visits. She was very attentive to my concerns with my cat while I was away. She kept me informed while I was away and tried engaging my cat with activity. My cat is cautious with strangers, but Lauchlan played with her and was very determined to establish a connection with her, even laying on the floor. Lauchlan knows the signs a pet will show when they are feeling stressed / anxiety, which I was concerned about. She kept me informed of her overall well being while I was gone, which made me feel good! I had only booked 3 days of visits, but Lauchlan was developing a connection with her. I would highly recommend Lauchlan and will definitely reach out to her again if I'm in the need of a sitter! Little Momma & I Thank you for your caring visits!”
“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs, mostly focusing on basic obedience like sit, stay, lay down, speak, crate training, and name recall. I use positive reinforcement and food motivation, and I try to stay consistent with routines so pets understand what’s expected. I’m comfortable with daily care like feeding, walking, potty breaks, and keeping pets on a schedule. I’m patient and focused on making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, so I’m available for house sitting on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During those days, I have plenty of time to stick to your pet’s routine, that means feeding, walks, playtime, etc. Im often available after work as well to provide any small quick services like walks! I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or alone while their owner is away. I also treat the client’s home with respect, keeping it clean and secure, and making sure everything is left as it was when I arrived. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where both the pet and the owner feel at ease.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from big dogs to small. I love walking my own dogs in forest preserves and I have dog-sat my neighbor’s dog before. I also worked at a pet store for a few months. I’m currently in school and have a part time job, but my mornings during the weekdays from 6 am to 11am are free to walk your dogs. I currently don’t offer pet care in my home, but I’m happy to travel to you. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while in their own home. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.
“Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine love for pets. I’ve had dogs since I was a child and currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, and I know how important it is to maintain their routines and make them feel safe while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive to details, and will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a speech therapist by trade in the school system. I am off for the summer and my schedule is wide open. I can accommodate your schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a safe, clean environment. I follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care requests provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates, photos, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection while respecting both the pet’s needs and the client’s home.
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.
“Ally was a great sitter and a pleasure to work with! She was so great with our babies in our weekend away. It was our first time leaving them home, but we felt super safe know ally was looking in on them. We will definitely book with Ally again!”

Meaghan was the best with our 2 cats while we spent a few days camping. She was on time and followed directions, which is important for cats who have a set routine. I appreciate that she took the time to play with the kitties and her Rover cards always captured how the visit went. She provided great updates and photos of how they were doing. It was great to see the cats become comfortable with her quickly and show their goofy personalities. If she's available when the time comes, I will absolutely be booking her services again!

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 3,230 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
