About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve had pets my whole life and started pet sitting for friends and family at a young age. I naturally connect with animals and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I am actively job searching, but I prioritize the pets I’m caring for and keep my availability up to date. treat every pet like they’re my own. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free so your pet can relax while you’re away.
“Troy and Shalah were wonderful! They set up a meet and greet before dropping in and playing with our fur baby. They’re prompt, communicative, and professional. Will use again!”
About: I have cared for my family dogs on numerous occasions. I have also been a go to pet sitter for people around me. I baby sit and have worked as a mentor helping people around me. I would be able to care for pets at any point in the week. The schedule is the only thing I need and would be able to care for pets at any time. I care and typically ask for schedules for the specific animal. I also keep in touch with owners on a day to day basis and give updates about their pets and how they are doing.
“Alexa was easy to work with. She thought of things our pups needed without being asked. They were happy when we arrived home, and we felt she took good care of them. We will use Alexa the next time we have an opportunity”
“We can’t say enough good things about Amber! She is absolutely amazing, and thanks to her, we never have to worry about our cats when we’re away. She’s not only reliable and professional but also genuinely caring and attentive to our cats’ needs. Every time we come home, they’re happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid of multiple breeds. I have learned that the best way to care for a pet is to make sure they are happy, healthy, and loved! I’m currently working from home and spend most of my time at home with my dog Rocco! My schedule is very flexible so I get to take my dog out often and would love the opportunity to spend time with even more pups and cats. I have a fenced yard, a cage, and I keep a close eye on the pets that I am caring for. I treat every pet as if it’s my own and make sure they have water at all times and access to bathroom as needed.

“Michael helped us out on short notice and cared for our 2 elderly cats while we were away for a week. He was very professional, sending photos and communicating both AM and PM each day. It did a lot to assure me that my girls were ok while we were gone. My girls were not very social as this was their first time with a sitter, but they were healthy and happy upon our return.”
“Sarah provided excellent care taking care of our pet while on vacation. Our area was flooded while we were gone, and Sarah found a way to still make it here to feed Barney. Very responsible and gave us daily updates with pics. Would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
About: I am a pet-loving owner of a friendly chocolate lab puppy. When I was younger, I would care for my neighbors’ pets for them overnight whenever they went in vacation. I’m currently full-time, but I’m always looking to make extra money on the side whenever I can. I can see myself Rovering for people each day after work. I am not offering services in my own home, but as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am trusted by the people around me in my life as far as safety goes. In the past, my neighbors would give me access to their security system to ensure their pets’ safety. I am also extremely loving of any dog I come across.

“Amanda did a great job watching our Tucker overnight and with a drop in visit while we were out another night. This was the first time we used Rover and the first time we left our puppy in the care of someone else. Amanda made us feel comfortable, accommodated all of our requests, and kept us updated with texts and pictures the whole time we were away. Tucker had a great time with her! I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Madison was super responsive, she was flexible when we asked her to come at an extra time, she was great with the instructions I gave and my pups seemed to love her every time she came ! I highly recommend booking her and I’ll definitely rebook in the future 🤗
Michael came by for a meet-and-greet before our upcoming trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He took the time to go through our care instructions, walked the dogs, learned their feeding routine, and patiently listened to all the little quirks that come with our two bull terriers. The best part was how quickly our dogs warmed up to him. They’re usually a great judge of character, and they were comfortable with him almost immediately, which gave us a lot of confidence. Michael is friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about the animals he looks after. After meeting him, we’re leaving for our trip feeling much more relaxed knowing our two clown bull terriers will be in such good hands. We highly recommend him!
Daniel did ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! He was so attentive & kept me updated throughout the week. I was so worried as this was the first time I’ve left my dogs for more than a night and he made me feel totally at ease. My dogs also adored him. Would definitely rebook!!
Suzie was amazing! Great communication while booking and during visits. I had a cancellation last minute and she stepped in and made this whole process so easy asking all the right questions to make sure she cared for my pup the same way I would. Highly recommend 10/10

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bristol choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bristol with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
