“Melissa was awesome always updating me about mickey . She made him feel comfortable and even thought he had a few accidents she was very understanding and respectful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again. Thank you Melissa you were amazing”
“Tara saved the day! Our family needed quick assistance with an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and super helpful with providing updates and extending the stay as needed. Our dog was sad she had to leave! Thank you so much!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“My Labrador Gus is by my side everyday. So, leaving him with someone else for a week was difficult. Carrie was absolutely great, alleviated all my concerns and sent daily pictures to show how Gus was doing. When I picked him up, I knew Gus was in good hands as he didn’t race to leave. Instead, he greeted me and then just hung out on the porch. I highly recommend Carrie if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”
“Eve maintained great communication throughout our pup's stay, really gave us a peace of mind. Well kept grounds and clean household. Her own dogs are friendly and kept our dog busy. We are so lucky to have found her. 100% recommend.”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”

“Natalia gave great care to our dog for the long stay he had with her and their lovely Corgie Archie at their home. We got pictures nearly every day and she was responsive as needed. If you are looking to have your dog have good companionship they are a good choice.”
“Mary was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog more than two nights (prior times with family) and she gave our golden all the love and he had a blast with the other dogs there! It was like a mini vacation for him and gave us great ease knowing he was being well cared for in the comfort of a nice home. Thanks again Mary!”
“Can’t say enough about how comfortable and safe we feel leaving our pup with Leanne. She is the only person we’ve used on Rover and has been worth every penny. This past time she helped us out last minute and we are more thankful that we can say in person. The photos and updates let us know our pup is in good hands, having fun, and getting love from a family.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Mariah and her family took such good care of our goldendoodle & constantly kept us updated while we were away with pictures. She treated Lola like her own family which I truly appreciate. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone who will take excellent care of your pup while you’re away!!
We are so lucky to have found Geof! He sent wonderful updates and took such care of our doggie. Geof wanted to know about our doggie to make sure it was the best experience for her, and it was! She was so, so happy. His beautiful house has the best backyard for doggies to enjoy their time outside.
We are so glad we found Geof! Gracie’s favorite place is home…. But we weren’t worried at all while she stayed with Geof for the week. Geof and his wife made sure Gracie felt right at home. We appreciated the daily photos and check-ins and appreciate how you really care about your doggy guests. Thank you!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Max! From the very first message, Mariah replied immediately and was so accommodating. She even scheduled an in-home visit before my trip so Max could adjust to her and her home, which gave me so much peace of mind. During the 10 days I was away, she kept me updated regularly and even checked in with me before giving him extra treats she had thoughtfully provided. That level of care and attention really showed how much she loves animals. She is incredibly sweet, friendly, and reliable — I truly felt Max was in the best hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bristol on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 952 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Bristol sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bristol landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bristol home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
