“I can’t say enough good things about Olivia! She has been walking my Ro Ro and pet sitting her. She is the sweetest person alive to her. She is gentle and kind and follows the details I’ve given her for Rogues care precisely. She is a great house guest. Left my place spotless so I returned to my home looking just as I left it. I feel happy that I’ve entrusted Olivia with Rogues care and weekly exercise.”

About: I was a dog mom for 17 yrs. I had two dogs, Kiya and Elvis, who were the best friends a girl could ever ask for. Sadly, they are both gone now. I have watched dogs for friends and family and I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I find so much joy in it. I'm semi-retired now so I have found I have a lot more time to do both now. I would love to care for your dogs. I never met a dog I don't like. I know it can take time for some dogs to trust and I accept that, especially with the shelter dogs. I always miss the dogs I've watched and the dogs who get adopted. From the time I was a small child, I have been drawn to animals. I'm semi-retired now so I'm frequently available to care for your dogs. It can be a potty break on a long work day, a weekend get away or a vacation. I've watched dogs as small as a 3 lb chihuahua to a 75 lb lab. I easily adapt to whatever routine and care your dogs are used to. I have an agreement with myself that I don't leave your dogs unless I absolutely have to. I've watched dogs in Florida and Colorado where I was encouraged to venture out and enjoy myself but I preferred to do that with their dogs or not at all. I will treat them with the utmost care, after all they are like your children. I'm happy to have them sleep with me if that's what they feel best with. My dogs slept with me every night. I respect if people crate their dogs as well.

About: I have over 15 years of animal care experience. Including experience in animal welfare in a shelter environment, working with animal rescue cases. In this position I was responsible for handling and training everything from puppies, to highly reactive traumatized dogs. If wanted, I can easily weave basic training into my stay with your dog. I currently work part time no longer in the animal welfare field as I grow my full-time pet sitting business. My love and passion for animal care has not dwindled. Providing in house pet sitting services allows me to keep that passion alive in my life. My Rover rate includes the following care: *Am Care: pee break, playtime, short walk, breakfast *Second pee break right before leaving/crating routine if needed *Pm Care: pee break, playtime, short or longer walk, dinner *Evening care: additional pee breaks, playtime, snuggles and engadgement *Kong or puzzle toy prep *Mail/package collection upon request *Please reach out if you have any questions! *If you've booked with me before please reach out for a loyality discount! With my background in shelter work I am experienced and comfortable working with reactive, fearful, and untrained animals. I provide animals with the time and space needed to become comfortable interacting with me, and set up consistent routines to give them confidence and predictability.

About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, I provide a warm and loving environment right from my home. I can expertly administer any needed medication, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. Let’s keep your pup, no matter their age, happy and healthy together! I live on 5 acres of land, and pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I start each day by feeding and walking my pets, allowing them space to explore. Since I work from home, I can spend quality time with them, playing and training throughout the day. I check on their health regularly, which includes grooming and giving any needed medication. On weekends, I take them on adventures around our land. Pet care brings joy and structure to my life! I care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes by providing a safe and loving environment. In my home, I have a friendly 18-year-old Australian Shepherd who helps create a welcoming atmosphere for other pets. I ensure they have plenty of space to play and explore, while also maintaining a clean and comfortable area for resting. I follow their routines closely, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. At a client's home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions or routines the pet is used to. I make sure the environment is safe by removing any hazards. I also give them regular check-ins to ensure they are happy and healthy, and I am always available for cuddles and attention!

“Hire Morgan, she is the best!! My wife and I just had our wedding at the Owl’s Nest Resort and wanted to include our dog in the ceremony. Morgan could not have been nicer or more helpful. She walked Cooper during the rehearsal and spoke with our wedding planner to come up with a game plan. There were some moving pieces the next day but Morgan was so flexible and willing to help in any way. She dressed our dog in his suit and made it possible for him to be a part of our special day. We were so appreciative of Morgan and highly recommend her! She was fantastic with Cooper, prompt in her responses, and took amazing videos and pictures of him that we’ll cherish forever!! Thank you so much, Morgan!!”

About: Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve a new best friend! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I provide loving, reliable care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. From playtime to cuddles, your furry friend will feel right at home while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I work part time at dunks which makes my schedule flexible so that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I am typically available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with additional availability on select weekdays depending on prior bookings. I plan my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and companionship. For pets requiring multiple visits per day, I can accommodate early morning, midday, and evening check-ins when arranged in advance. Because I work part-time, I am able to dedicate focused, unrushed time to each visit, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. I always communicate availability clearly and provide updates to ensure smooth scheduling and peace of mind for pet owners. My grandfather, Sid Lovett, was instrumental in my decision to make a career out of caring for animals. Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates regularly, including photos and messages for peace of mind. I also ensure the home remains secure and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for, just as they would with their family.

About: I like dogs and cats. Doesn’t matter what I watch but cats are easier for sure! I live in Weirs Beach where many peopke walk their dogs. My house is a perfect location for me to watch your pet if you go to a concert at Bank of NH Pavillion or go on the Mt Washington cruise ship or Train ride! Open for anything since I’m retired and have the time now. Prefer to watch pets in my own home but will watch in yours if your more comfortable I don’t have fenced in yard. I would need to walk dogs on leash or keep cats inside. I do have yard for dogs to wander around as long as they are tethered and I’m watching them

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

About: I have an innate love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I treat all dogs individual needs and try to be you when you are away so they feel comfortable, safe and loved. I have learned a lot from my sister who had her own breeding program and who worked on a farm that had multiple breeding programs and boarders/training sessions. I am in the market for a new job since I am new to the area. So I am available anytime now. I will update accordingly with my new job 😊 I respect all house rules the owners inform me of. I have experience with crating dogs, sleeping in the same bed as them and also with e-collars and bark collars. I am comfortable walking with different types of leads.

About: I just got home from visiting my extended family and miss their dogs. I have been an ‘auntie’ to my parents, brothers and friends dogs for many years. My lifestyle is very flexible. Animals give my life, joy, fun and happiness. My college aged daughter just started using this platform and absolutely loves it! I’m excited to give it a try! I helped my daughters care for their small animals when they were little and living at home. I have helped care for my brothers and parents dogs by visiting and hanging out with them. I spent the last six weeks helping my mom with my dad who has dementia and regularly walked their dog Lucy, who I love and miss dearly.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 356 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bristol after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
