“Sue is a very responsible pet sitter! She contacted me because one of my kitties was in hiding & she'd been looking for an hour! She is a very caring pet sitter - & with shy kitties, she is wonderful.”
“Moriah was wonderful with Rosie, my 10 year old dog, who is very particular with her human friends, especially strangers. After a successful meet and greet, Moriah came by for a drop in dinner and Rosie was so excited to see her! Moriah happily sent me some video updates during the visit. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”
About: I’m offering drop in visits and dog walking. I grew up around horses and owned dogs throughout my life. I currently have a 5 year old dog who I have had since he was 10 weeks old. I also have two cats. I work full time as a nurse but I have 4 days off a week. My schedule is different every week but I am available on most days off. I love animals and I look forward to helping take care of yours pets! I work three 12 hour shifts a week as a nurse. My schedule is different every week so I will make sure to always edit my availability. I usually have 4 weeks of my full time jobs schedule at a time. I love to play with dogs and if they want cuddles I am always happy for that. I am happy to know what your specific needs are for your pets.
“Andrea was incredible. Good communication, consistent and reliable. I almost got the feeling my cats were disappointed to have us home because they liked Andrea so much! Really though, I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Thank you, Andrea!! Jeff and Ernie and I all appreciate you so!”
About: I‘ve been house sitting and taking care of animals since I was 13. For friends, family, and people from the community I live in. I have taken care of all sorts of different animals of all sizes, so I feel like I have quite a bit of experience in this line of work! I don’t currently do boarding in my own house, but am capable of letting dogs/animals out and making sure they are safe and well looked after. I work five days a week, Monday through Friday from 2-530pm, at an after school program so my hours are pretty flexible when it comes to being able to do drop in visits as well as house sitting. My schedule does change during the summer time as I work as a full time summer camp counselor. Typically goes from mid June till mid August. I am able to crate dogs if need be! I also am able to handle large dogs, as I’ve had a Saint Bernard in the past and have taken care of Cane Corso and Great Danes. I love to give cuddles and play time!!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs as long as I can remember. And my experience goes out further than just cats and dogs. I’ve helped my parents take care of the animals on their little homestead for 3.5-4 years. I took care of ducks, chickens, pigs, goats, and more. I’m currently not working and I’m free Tuesday-Saturday. I’m available in the mornings/mid afternoon. I can do night hours only on Thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays. The people that i currently live with have a huge yard and 2 friendly dogs, one that has a runner hooked up outside and the other one gets to free roam. When I am in the clients home, I will make sure their fur baby is well taken care off and has everything they need. And potentially clean up when I leave.
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.
“This was my first time using Cloud after my regular sitter had to relocate. Cloud came highly recommended and it shows. She was patient with my semi-feral baby girl and loving with my big cuddly boy. She went above and beyond to ensure they were fed, cleaned up after and had treats to make it through. Cloud was extremely responsive and timely with her arrivals to see my babies. I’ve already rebooked her for my next few days of travel!”
“Valerie went above and beyond to take care of my two cats. In addition to feeding and litter, she spent extra time to play with them which left them stimulated and happy. She provided daily updates with photos, and even cleaned their litter area without me asking. She treated my little ones as her own. Highly recommend Valerie for any devoted cat owner.”
“Alex did an amazing job with Roscoe! We are very happy with her services. She also filled in last minute and was super flexible and professional. We will definitely be contacting her again. Thanks, Alex!”
“We are so grateful to have found Michelle! She went above and beyond to help us over the holiday weekend. She is so kind. Upon meeting her, I instantly felt at ease leaving our pets in her care!”
“I have a very shy dog and after trying 2 other sitters he finally warmed up to Sarah! I was surprised how quickly he did take to Sarah, she has away with animals! She even spent some of her own time coming to my house to get rico comfortable wirh her b4 there 1st over nighter which I was very impressed with! I can honestly say i feel very confident leaving rico in Sarah's hands!”
“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”

Amy took very good care of my dog Kya. Aside from making sure her basic needs were met, Amy also walked her and played with her. Kya is a very energetic and reactive dog and can be a challenge to work with. Amy met the challenge and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend her highly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bristol on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 371 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
