My dog returned from Alejandra's good care happy and exhausted. She cared for him well, entertained him, provided lots of playtime with other dogs, and kept me up to date. She was also very accommodating when I found my flight plans cancelled due to bad weather. It was reassuring to know that she would not leave my dog in the lurch!

Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.

Josie and Michael were so good with our dog Benny. He is sometimes anxious in new situations, so we were nervous leaving him for the first time with someone other than family, but he did great! They are very kind people and the environment is very clean. They took great care of him! We have already booked our next trip with them.

There are dog sitters, and then there are people who truly become part of your dog's life. For quite a while now, my weekends have slowly become my weekdays—early mornings, long shifts, and the quiet rhythm of doing what needs to be done. In the midst of all of that, there is always Paige. And as any dog owner understands, our dogs are never "just dogs." They are love, trust, comfort, and pieces of our hearts that walk beside us through life. That is why I cannot say enough wonderful things about these incredible puppy sitters. From the very beginning, Paige was not simply watched over—she was welcomed, understood, and loved. Their care extends far beyond food, potty breaks, and supervision. They genuinely invest themselves in the dogs they care for, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and every photo they send. Even when Paige wasn't feeling her best, they met her with extra comfort, special food, patience, and care, giving me a peace of mind that is difficult to put into words. What I appreciate most is not only how deeply they care for her, but how much they help her grow. Through gentle guidance, structure, socialization, and opportunities to learn from mature, well-behaved dogs, Paige continues to become calmer, more confident, and more comfortable in herself. Their home provides so much more than pet sitting. It provides safety, growth, companionship, encouragement, and love. As someone whose life often requires being in many places at once, there is a profound comfort in knowing that while I am caring for others, someone else is caring for Paige with the same attentiveness and devotion I would hope to give her myself. That kind of peace is rare. Paige and I are grateful beyond words—not simply because they care for her so well, but because they care for her with their whole hearts. Thank you, Jennifer and Larry W., for the extraordinary impact you have made. The comfort, reassurance, care, wisdom, and generosity you have shared have left a lasting imprint that will be carried with profound gratitude. Some gifts cannot be measured by what is given, but by what is felt, and for that, we will always be thankful.

Christina is amazing. We had a house flood and needed an emergency sitter for our dog while we dealt with a horrible situation. She responded immediately and gladly took him in.

Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼

Kathy was a great communicator! She was more than flexible with meeting up ahead of time so that our pups could get introduced. She showed us around and was very transparent about what to expect while watching our dog, who felt right at home. I highly recommend her, and I’m looking forward to using her again in the future.

Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!

Betty is the best! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Lucy was in good hands. When we picked up Lucy, she literally cried twice when Betty walked away from her to gather up her supplies. We love that our dog is so attached to her. <3 There is no better endorsement! We've used Betty's services several times now and wouldn't choose anyone else. Highly recommended.

About: Lifetime pet owners of cats and dogs alike, Maeve and Jason have shared decades of pet-sitting duties for friends and family and all that entails from crate training to medication administration. We have flexible schedules, reliable transportation with dog seatbelts, a large wrap around fully fenced-in yard, and several forested acres with private nature trails to share with your best friend. Maeve is a WFH graphic designer and Jason is a self-employed carpenter living with our two sweet velcro cavalier king charles spaniels — Cricket & Disco. We have very flexible schedules with lots of love and attention to spare. We can easily break away for walks and drop-ins. We live across from Eagle Lake with a large wraparound fully fenced-in yard overlooking 15 private forested acres with trails for leashed nature walks. We have oodles of experience walking, camping, hiking, swimming, and playing with dogs in all environments and elements. Crates and gates are available if your best friend needs their space, but everybody is allowed to make themselves at home. We have lots of cozy nooks and beds. We work to ensure smooth introductions.
 Our home is very dog-friendly but to that end, kept very clean. We do tick checks and our girls are always up to date with their vaccinations and preventative meds. JIC, we have reliable transportation and are not far from Michiana Veterinary Hospital. We are also able to drive to your preferred vet.

This was the first time Lucy spent the night away from home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Andrew, Jane, and their dog James took such good care of our girl 🥰 She came home after her one night stay happy and extra sleepy after getting to play with so many new friends.

We had an amazing experience with Dez and Nick! They are incredibly caring and patient, which was so important for us since Chico is still potty training. He had a lot of fun and received so much love while we were away; it was also great for him to spend time with their dogs, Sandler and Nolly. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such kind hands. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bristol on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

100% of Bristol sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bristol landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bristol home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bristol.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Bristol sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
