“Tara was so great with our dog! Everyday we got updates and she was always available if we wanted to check in with her in-between. She was super flexible and understanding as our situation had a few changes. Thank you Tara for the amazing service and treating Maddie so well!”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”
“Great stay as always. We have been sending Remy to stay with Malerie for over a year. Remy gets so excited when she knows she is going for a visit. Malerie takes great care of Remy and we feel very safe with her.”
“Nadine has such a soothing and calming energy that she’d make the most anxious dog feel at ease! She took such great care of Sweet Pea and was so in tune with her quirks. I would have Pea stay with her any time without a single worry!”
“Leanne was great with my mini Golden Doodle. She sent many photos and took very good care of my dog. I will be re-booking in the future. Highly recommend! :)”
“We had to make last minute plan changes and Yunshu was very helpful and accommodating. Sent lots of pictures and was very attentive to Milo. Thank you for taking care of Milo!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job with my two dogs while I was out of town for several nights. I got multiple pictures each day. They were in her care and they got plenty of exercise. She was very communicative regarding some trouble. One of my dogs got into at no fault of her own. It all worked out wonderfully because of her care and attention, and the dogs continued their boarding experience in style. I would definitely use Stephanie again next time I go out of town, as I highly recommend her.”
“I am so thankful that my dog got to hang out with Danielle over the holiday weekend. He is a ball of energy sometimes but she was up to the task. Danielle was communicative and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our girl Gracie. We have never left her with anyone before. Karen made sure we had a meet and greet to make sure Gracie and Karen’s pups and cats got along. She sent pictures and updates everyday! Also gave me some suggestions on how to deal with her “accidents” in the house. We will definitely use Karen again as Gracie was so comfortable with her and her fur babies. We loved her!!”
“Isabel is best! She and her husband took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away. They are excellent communicators and sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the week. You can tell Isabel is an animal lover and a responsible & caring person right away, so we felt at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She also has two very sweet and adorable dogs, so it was nice to know our dogs had some canine company to hang out with while we were away. Thank you again Isabel and Shawn!”
“Anne and Joe were great caregivers for our 11 year old dog. Zoey appeared to be very comfortable with them. They kept us well informed as to how she was doing with messages including pictures. It was a great experience for Zoey and she will staying with them again in the near future.”
“Briana is simply fantastic. She stepped up on short notice for boarding request we had because we had a trip planned and both of our usual sitters fell through. Safe to say I will be continuing to go to Briana because of the fantastic service she provides. She really cares for these dogs as if they're her own and the love that she has for them radiates out from her. She's so personable, she would sit out on her deck and chat with me about dogs for as long as I wanted and then some. I truly felt so comfortable leaving my dog Tanner in her care and the daily updates and photos of him just solidified my decision. He was in dog Paradise. I cannot recommend her highly enough and if you're reading these reviews and questioning which one to go with Briana wins by a mile.”
“Devorat what's absolutely amazing with our husky who can be a sassy girl sometimes but she was able to keep her happy, well fed, and give her the amount of exercise that she needs! She was so helpful so sweet. We definitely will use her again. I appreciated all the cute photos that she sent us of her. She spent a good amount of time with her during our wedding week and I just knew our pup was in great hands, which was one less thing for us to stress about.”
“Another perfect stay with Sarah. Sarah always provides lots of photos and updates everyday. She and Rex took great care of Cooper and Black. We look forward to booking with Sarah again!”
“Ashley is Absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. They were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“We had a wonderful experience using Kyleigh as our pet sitter while we were out of town for a week. Kyleigh provided clear communication via text, photo & video updates throughout each day. Kyleigh and her family treated our dog as if she was their own and spoiled her with love and attention :) Kyleigh is an absolute joy and would definitely recommend her pet sitting services!”
“Hannah was sooo good to Seamus. He had a great 3 day stay, and her communication with me, while on our vacation, was terrific. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bristol is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $141 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 of October 2026, there are 930 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.
95% 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 RI 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.
