“Jessica is very experienced, accommodating and welcoming. Our puppy felt perfectly at ease with big dogs and was not stressed at all. Jessica provided pictures and videos throughout his stay and we felt that our little Frenchie was in perfect hands. We are already booking his next stay.”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“Iger was awesome! Just great from the initial contact to the final pickup. We have a very large, older dog, and he and Deema were so kind to him - even hand fed him to get him to eat! I could tell that they really cared about our dog and enjoyed their time with him. Couldn’t have been more pleased and would definitely use them next time!”
“Kathleen is a fantastic dog sitter. We left our dog Lemon with her and he was loved and cared for like he was at home. He is usually nervous and scared when kenneled but he thrived at Kathleen’s. What a relief- her love for dogs is evident and she welcomed him like he is her own. There is now no worry to go on vacation and how the dog will do. We have peace of mind that he will be well-cared for.”
“Lauren provided EXCELLENT boarding services for Rocky. From the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. She sent photos and communicated several times a day. I was totally relieved with Lauren. I almost felt guilty that I wasn’t worried.😂 I would use Lauren again with no hesitation!”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
“Colleen was wonderful with our Aussiedoodle, Rex. He is very high-energy, and she did an excellent job caring for him. She kept us updated throughout his stay by sharing photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very accommodating and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to use Colleen again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.”
“Melissa and Dan were great with our 8 month old golden retriever, Ginger. We were completely comfortable after our meeting. Ginger seemed happy and well taken care of. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I plan to leave our dog in their capable hands again and I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care for their pet.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“OMG so at the last minute my sister canceled on me and my flight was early morning the next day. Jovani was willing to keep Duce last minute. You could tell when I was dropping Duce off that Jovani was in his element and had a genuine love for dogs! Duce was a little nervous but Jovani calmed his nerves immediately. Jovani sent pictures daily to ease my mind and upon pick up I could tell Duce enjoyed his stay. This will be a second home for Duce as we travel a lot. Jovani will be seeing a lot more of Duce! Thank you for easing my mind and assuring Duce had a loving environment and experience home away from home! Thank you thank you 😊 ❤️🙏🏾”
“Gabriela is an extremely warm and compassionate sitter. Her home is clean, bright and welcoming. She's very interested in knowing all you dogs need and loves to send pictures and updates throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and most definitely use her again!”
“We knew from the moment Maggie stepped foot inside Meghan’s home that she felt safe and loved. I was amazed at the number of photos and updates that greeted me everyday. Maggie looked super happy and comfortable. Meghan is not only the ultimate puppy sitter; she’s a compassionate soul. I couldn’t imagine leaving Maggie with anyone else.”
“Lauren was so sweet and helpful. I brought Daisy with just a few days notice and they were able to accommodate. She got along great with their dog, Nala and was happy and tuckered out by the end of the weekend.”
“Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.”
About: From a family of dog lovers, I have always had a dog at home to care for. Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter. I love all dogs and have a very flexible schedule! I am currently a teacher on summer break which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dogs on a schedule that works best for you! I have a friendly and playful dog at home, Murphy who can keep your pup company or be crated if needed. At my apartment we have two gated dog run areas and living downtown provides many fun areas to walk.
“Theresa and her family were amazing to my boy, Charlie. They really treated him like family! She took him out often on walks, to the store or to pick up her kids from school! I was sent so many cute photos of all the love Charlie was receiving! She even sent him on his way with an Easter basket!! I can’t recommend her enough! 10/10 5 stars, Theresa was amazing!!”
“Earlier this week, I found myself in the position of finding overnight care for my dog Cookie at the very last minute. I will never send him to a kennel since he does not do well with a lot of other dogs and I did not want him lost amidst a sea of yapping or feeling confined. I needed someone with a big, secure, natural back yard to enjoy when not on walks; someone with only one or two personal pets who would not take in others during Cookie’s stay; and someone active, engaged and loving with my special guy. I found that person in Christina. Christina is brand new to the platform, which I actually liked since I suspected she would go over and beyond what was required as she builds her reputation. Her narrative and the testimonials sounded authentic, and her photos showed obvious joy with dogs and cats. And she was available on short notice. I asked if we could do a live video “walk-around” her house, and mainly her yard, on WhatsApp, which I do not believe most people would have agreed to, but she did so readily. This is what I saw, heard and learned: 1) The yard is huge, secure, beautiful and interesting; 2) Her rapport with her own bichon was kind, gentle and fun (I learned she had three bichons for many years but two passed and I think Rover is partly to help fill that void); 3) She walks in Pennypack Park morning, noon and night so when Cookie was not enjoying the yard, he’d be enjoying new sights and sounds elsewhere with his new bichon buddy; 4) Cookie would not be caged ever, and no other dogs would be accepted for boarding while he was there. I had to change the drop off and pickup times at the last minute, which was not a problem at all. Drop-off was easy and communication consistent and remained on WhatsApp throughout the stay. I picked Cookie up a little while ago and I knew I had made the right choice for my guy. Cookie will be back at Christina’s without a question, though hopefully not at the last minute again. Five out of five!!!”

We left our baby Bella with Christine and I must say, she seemed like she did not want to come back 😂 She was in good spirits and clearly felt comfortable with her and her husband, Bella doesn’t like anyone carrying her but felt very comfortable with Christine. I would certainly recommend her for anyone looking to have their precious pup to have a loving and comfortable place to stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our precious little girl ❤️
Colleen was so wonderful! She watched our quirky, nervous girl with such love, which made me feel more comfortable being away from her. Colleen sent me lots of updates, including photos and videos. She gave pmfreya her meds, took her on nice walks, and let her sleep in the bed! We'll definitely feel more comfortable in the future knowing Colleen cares for our girl as if she were her own.
Elaine was so great with my senior dog Pawly. Pawly is trained to go outside but somehow forgot all that with the stress of new surroundings. Elaine handled it like a pro. She went out and brought him training pads out of her own money. She taught an old dog a new trick to go on an inside pad which he has never done before. Pawly came home looking happy and well feed. Pawly cant wait to see his awesome pet sitter again! I would recommend Elaine with out exception. She has a big backyard and pets of her own that get along with their new friends.
I couldn’t be happier with the care Iger provided for my dog Waffles. She was definitely a bit hesitant and slow to warm up at first, but Iger clearly has a ton of experience reading dog body language and personalities. By the end of the week, the two of them had completely bonded! I received constant updates packed with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s so reassuring to find someone who genuinely knows how to handle different temperaments with patience and skill. I’ll definitely be booking him again!
Jenny has boarded my miniature Schnoodle, Jasper on several occasions. Usually our trips are well planned in advance but this last time we had to board Jasper when we had to go out with family on an unplanned trip. Jenny was able to take on Jasper on very short notice. She is always prompt in her communications and keeps us updated on how Jasper is doing which we appreciate very much! We are very happy that Jasper is well taken care of during the times we have to be away!
We are SO happy that we found Abby to watch our sweet senior fur baby over a long weekend. Abby was very attentive to our instructions and sent lots of updates every day, which really put us at ease leaving our dog with a new person. Our dog can be a bit timid but she warmed right up to Abby right away — dogs really are an excellent judge of character! Abby was also very flexible when we were facing some unexpected flight delays coming back to town. I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to rebooking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bristol is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,344 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Bristol can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bristol home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 PA 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.
