“Our dog had a wonderful time walking with Shirley. She was right on time, and our Pancakes just loved her! She took pictures on their walk and gave a written rundown of her visit. Will most definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’m currently a volunteer dog walker with Burlington county animal shelter since 2023! I walk all dogs from small to large. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, scared and social butterflies ranging from 1 years old to seniors 10+. I currently work full time Monday-Friday in healthcare( until 4pm), so evenings or any time on the weekends I am usually free! I walk dogs at my local animal shelter on the weekends, but my schedule is very flexible. I believe that every dog I encounter they must be treated like royalty! A pet is your family and I want them to receive the same love and care as I provide for my dog and shelter pups.
About: My parents never owned a dog, but I have always dreamed of owning one myself. Until that day comes, I love to help take care of others. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from a senior dog to a young puppy. Now that I’ve graduated and started my full-time career, I bring a high level of professional responsibility and structure to my pet care. Starting August 1st, my routine is built around my 9-hour workday, which makes me an ideal match for independent dogs or cats who are well-adjusted to a standard work-week schedule and comfortable napping while their humans are away. During the week, pet care fits into my day as a 'bookend' routine: I provide plenty of exercise, feeding, and mental stimulation before I head to the office, and I dedicate my entire evening to quality time, play, and companionship as soon as I return. This structure works perfectly for house sitting, as I can provide a consistent and reliable presence in your home. On the weekends, my schedule is completely open, which is when I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for those needing extra adventures or check-ins. Whether I am staying overnight during the week or visiting for a weekend walk, you can count on me for a calm, dependable routine and frequent photo updates! I have grown up in a household with 3+ cats. I am a quiet person who has a knack for making animals feel comfortable in my presence. I love when they keep me company as I work. I dabble in pet photography and would love to expand my portfolio!
About: Hi! I’m Madison and I’m a college student athlete home for the summer! I have taken care of all types of dogs and pets since I was 10, and have always had many animals in the house since I was little. I have experience with many types of dogs with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I currently have a pitbull and a yorkie at home, and have had many other pets prior including guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and ducks. I am comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as senior dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I am comfortable administering basic medications such as oral medication, topical treatments, or ear care. Beyond caring for dogs, I also babysit for multiple families and love to care for little kids which has given me the experience to adapt to different households, schedules, and routines balancing both pets and kids! I’m currently a college student-athlete home from school on break, and I am available through August. I am very flexible with scheduling (mornings, weekends, etc.) and can provide stop in visits and consistent care throughout the day! I try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to their normal routine so they feel at home and stress free while owners are away, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, fresh water, treats, etc. I also like to keep them entertained with walks, parks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day! I currently have two dogs at home, so I am used to dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and needs. I have experience with older dogs who may need more assistance and attention and can administer basic medications, as well as younger dogs who may want more exercise and playtime. When in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect the space and follow routines and special requests carefully. I also like to send photos and updates to owners throughout the day so they feel connected while they’re away!
“Josh is a lifesaver. I’m from out of the area staying at a hotel and needed someone to let Buddy out midday. Josh was very coordinated in his efforts and took Buddy on a huge walk. Way above and beyond. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was a kid. Grew up with several different pets in the home. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles you name it!

I am currently working 3 days and week with long weekends available for pet sitting, drop ins, and walks. I have an extra crate if needed. Friday-Monday I am home to spend all the time with your pet! I currently have one dog in the home. He is a very LARGE dog (Great Dane) but very gentle and friendly to all pets and people he meets. I am home all day from Friday-Monday to give you pet all the attention they need. Small fenced in yard and take walks regularly. All pets will be treated with love to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their pet parents are away.

“I can’t recommend Lauren enough! She truly went above and beyond during the walks with my dog, Sky. She ran with her, took care of her in the heat, played with her, and provided continuous check ins and pictures. I could see how much Sky loved her by her biggggg smile🤍”

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.
“First time using Jimi and he was great. Walked a bit with to make sure my dog was comfortable. She was at ease with him from the start. Arrived on time and completed two walks with short notice. Thanks.”

About: I bring decades of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and kids. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me, and owners trust me because I show up, follow routines, and treat every pet like family. Dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while keeping owners updated so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while in my care. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to pets' behaviors and needs. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family.

About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.
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.
“Christina took such good care of our little girl. Even at our first meeting we knew she was in good hands. Having experience with dogs (especially German Shepherds), Christina had the perfect demeanor with Leeloo who can be hesitant to trust people she doesn't know. Her special care, attention, and affectionate towards Leeloo had her excitedly anticipating her visits and walks!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and bunnies since I was younger. I currently have two bunnies of my own. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, walk them, play with them, etc. Pet lover at heart. I do work from home mostly so I can work around my schedule. I currently work from home 8-4, so I have relatively open availability for all of your needs. My schedule fluctuates week to week based on meetings, etc. Open to walks and drop in visits as long as my schedule allows. I currently have two pet rabbits that are in a gated area. I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate your pet if needed. My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park and lots of areas for walking.
About: I’ve had pets for most of my life, such as dogs, cats, & pet fish. I’m very caring and nurturing and I’ll take wonderful care of your fur babies. :) I am able to provide drop in visits for cats and dogs & dog walking. Message me for rates and more info! Always happy to set up a meet & greet with your pets. I work full time M-F and work from home Mondays and Fridays. Outside of work, my schedule is very flexible. Feel free to reach out with any questions. :) If I am checking in on your pet at your home, I will make sure they are well fed, fresh water, given play time, and anything else they need.

Vanessa is fantastic! Reliable, flexible, and caring. Im very particular in the type of person I want caring for my dogs bc I need someone who understands dogs and I got that vibe from Vanessa. She accommodated both my energetic and nervous dogs wonderfully and was even flexible with a last minute cancelation on a house sitting. I'd 100% recommend Vanessa, but only if youre not taking up her availability for when I need her :) I cant say enough good things!

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bristol.

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
