“Peggy was absolutely amazing! It was such a blessing finding someone that cared for our Golden as much as she did. She went above and beyond what I expected her to do. Was always on time and spent quality time with our dog. After every visit we received many pictures of just how active and happy our dog was while we were gone. We will continue to use Peggy over and over for any other vacation that we plan on the future!”
About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
“Best pet caretaker ever! Katelyn has been watching our dog on a regular basis for 4 months and does an excellent job. I always come home to a happy dog and everything in are home is just how we left it. Katelyn does a superb job of communicating any concerns or questions in a prompt manner.”
“Joshua is the best! This is the second time he has watched our dogs while we were away. He took great care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for the week. He made sure they were fed and had lots of time to run and play outside. He gave us updates on how our pups were doing along with lots of pictures! It was nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing that our pups were being well cared for. We already booked Joshua again for our next vacation!”
About: I currently have two cocker spaniels and one is partially blind and he trusts my voice. They are family and get treated like a member. I worked in The Casino business and while working there I fell back into dog care for co wokers who were working double shifts and then things took off from there while dog care walks and play time I also cared for cats as well! I love what I do and that is important balance in showing how well you work with animals! I like to excercise the dog and then spend some chill time towards then end of the session. I have walked 3 dogs at one time and I am very comfortable doing so. So I look forward to meeting you and you fur baby!
About: Having a small tiny dog(chihuahua) of my own, I've learned to be creative with the activities that we do as well as find different places to take her for walks. My dog is very temperamental, so I've had to increase my own training skills to be able to be a better pet mom. I'm open to trying new things and I'm great at following instructions. I am extremely dependable and I pride myself on always being on time and communicating when things don't go as planned. I love all dogs and will take care of yours as if its my own. My specific availability is Monday thru Friday 6 AM-8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I have open availability on the weekends which is where I hope to do the most work. I work from home two days a week (Monday and Tuesday)and am off on weekends so I have plenty of time to fit in long weekend boardings. I have a fenced in yard which makes it easy to carve out play time or potty breaks. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and there is a dog park within walking distance.
“Caitlyn is great! Very quick responses, set up a meet and greet within a day, and was on time and sent pictures for each visit. Would for sure book again and probably will for our next vacation! Highly recommended”
“Amber did a wonderful job with our Lucy , our family knew she would be in good hands from the first time we met . Amber will be first choice in the future when we need a sitter .”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was 7 years old, so caring for pets has always been a big part of who I am! I’m 23 now and have plenty of experience taking care of animals independently, from meeting their daily needs to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I have trained puppies and taken care of kittens, and I've also taken care of elderly cats and dogs. As an occupational therapy student, I’ve developed strong empathy, patience, and an understanding that everyone has different needs and personalities. I bring that same approach to animals by paying attention to their individual needs, respecting their routines, and helping them feel at ease. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! As an occupational therapy student working toward my doctorate, I have a busy but flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care. I am available after classes and on my days off, which gives me opportunities to provide pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I am organized and responsible when balancing my schoolwork with other commitments, and I can work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I look forward to making pet sitting a rewarding part of my routine while providing reliable, loving care for your pets! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure to give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and patience while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I prioritize their well being and make sure owners feel confident that their pets are in loving, responsible hands. I am also happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing.

“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.”
About: I had a multiple dogs growing up, one who is 11 years old now, and also am a Fur Mom to a golden retriever. I am an animal lover and just want to be helpful since I use rover myself for sitters, and i figured I’d be just as helpful as the many sitters on here have been for me!! I work full time but that is just 3 days a week, so any other day I am available most of the day to accommodate your fur babies! My schedule does change every week though I live in an apartment complex but have access to a dog park within the complex and will be able to take your pups to local dog parks as well
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and had my own dog for 16 years. I started dog sitting about 3 years ago and have experience with in-home visits for scheduled feedings, walks, and overnight stays. I’ve also welcomed dogs into my home for a few days at a time. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medication. Your pup will be cared for like family 🤍 I currently work part-time and attend school full-time, with three completely free days each week. However I am flexible and I plan my schedule carefully to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I make sure feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins are always a priority in my routine. Making sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy is always my top priority. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow all care instructions and stick to their usual routines. I have a large, fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for safe playtime and zoomies! I maintain a clean, secure environment and treat every pet like my own so they feel loved and at ease. 🐾🤍
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Tamia did an excellent job taking care of my dog and two kittens! She sent regular updates and even went the extra mile sweeping up after my messy dog despite no obligation to do so. I would recommend Tamia and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Gianna is fantastic! She has stayed with our dogs multiple times now and we always have a great experience. She’s attentive, communicative, and caring. Would recommend her for your future dog care needs”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Peggy is always fantastic with our two cats while we are away. She kept up with their feeding, made sure the litter boxes stayed clean, and gave them plenty of play and attention. We got great Rover cards and photos with every visit, which gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend!
She was super professional and friendly, and she did a great job following our instructions. She kept us updated all day and sent plenty of photos, which made us feel really happy and relaxed while we were away. Very pleased with Morgan, we highly recommend her.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bristol is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 9,139 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
