About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!
“Britney is the best! I am so happy we chose her to walk Ford. She is always transparent and goes above and beyond to make sure we’re kept in the loop! It never feels good to leave your pup at home to go to work, but we are so grateful that Britney could get Ford out and moving, and he loves her!! She genuinely cares, I would recommend her 100x over! 🤗”
“Audrey was great right from the meet and greet and on! Millie, who is usually very timid, warmed up to her in seconds. Audrey was a great support walking my dog while a family member who can no longer walk her far watched her. She was extremely punctual and great with communicating all aspects of their walks. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Gabi ! With over 20 years of professional pet care experience, I offer a level of expertise you won't find with standard gig-economy walkers. My background as a former veterinary technician, assistant dog trainer, and doggy daycare manager means your pet’s physical safety, health, and behavioral needs are always in expert hands.Unlike massive pack-walking services or crowded daycares, I specialize exclusively in dedicated, 1-on-1 care.

I pride myself on being reliable, consistent, and an excellent communicator. Whether we are exploring Colt State Park or walking through your neighborhood, your dog will receive my full, undivided attention, and you will receive detailed, peace-of-mind updates every single time. Because pet care is my full-time career and job, your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention. I do not squeeze walks between office shifts or rush off to another job. My schedule is completely open and flexible, allowing me to commit fully to your pet's routine, arrive precisely on time, and never rush our sessions. When I am with your dog, they are my sole priority. Exact Routine Care: I strictly follow your feeding, walking, and house rules to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. Wellness Monitoring: I perform medical and behavioral checks during every visit to ensure your dog is healthy and safe.

“Sheridyn was so helpful with a last minute request when our regular walker couldn't make it. She was able to flex with our plans and sent lots of pictures and notes. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Julia was great, she asked all the right questions before arriving for her first walk with my dog She was on time and provided excellent feedback including pictures and a summary of their walk. I’ll definitely be using Julia again in the future!”
“So thrilled to have Ella back walking our girl after a scheduling change. She is always prompt, thorough and an excellent communicator, plus our girl adores her. Cannot recommend Ella enough!”
“I was in need of last minute care for Rocky and I sent a request out to a bunch of people. Amanda responded immediately and was willing to help! She made sure she understood the care instructions I provided and took him on a great walk, and most importantly he loved her. I’ll definitely be using Amanda again after the holidays.”
About: Geof is a recently retired professional, dedicated and responsible pet owner with over 30 years experience taking care of family pets (from puppies to senior dogs). He is reliable, kind, and punctual. He worked his way through college as the weekend manager of the Robert Potter League for Animals in Middletown Rhode Island. Since retiring he pet sits regularly for his children. As a recently-retired professional I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I own a home with a large fenced in yard, which is wonderful for playing and exploring. I reside in a very walkable/dog-friendly neighborhood. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 1:00 PM. I am open to walking pets and daily drop-ins as well. I have a large enclosed yard and occasionally pet sit for my children's dogs. Their dogs (Forgie and Greta) are friendly and comfortable being around other dogs. My house is clean, quiet, and peaceful. Southern exposure provides sunlit, cozy spaces for your dogs to enjoy. I have mini-split AC to keep your pup cool on hot summer days.
“Bella is a wonderful person, and she clearly cares about the animal in her care. She went above and beyond for Gunner while we were away, his comfort and peace of mind as priorities. While he did miss us in our absence, he looked for her the first morning after our trip and I’m sure he was asking where the nice lady was! ❤️🐾We’ll be re-booking in May! Thank you Bella!!🤗”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years, I am a huge animal lover. For neighbors, friends, family, all dogs and cats big and small I have so much love for them all. I work part time as a CNA, I only work a few days a week so I am available to watch your pups! I work every other weekend so i’d be available for boarding on my off weekends. I have a large yard and my dog gets taken out on a leash, I have a puppy so I am familiar with crate training and house training.
“We’ve been lucky enough to have Hunter come a couple times a week for the past few weeks and help us take care of our Hank. SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! She takes Hank out on adventures and sends awesome pictures and videos documenting what they do. We are forever grateful for Rover for connecting us with Hunter!”
“Lindsey put our minds at ease when we went away for a long weekend! She came 3x a day to care for our dog and made the experience so wonderful. Lindsey sent us updates with pictures and provided us with all the information we needed to make sure our dog was doing well! When we got home, we could tell our dog was happy and had a good weekend. Our dog was in great hands with Lindsey. We look forward to booking with Lindsey again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m Natalia, a law student spending the summer in San Antonio before heading back to Rhode Island for my final year of law school. I’m looking to earn a little extra money this summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with dogs! I’ve always been a dog lover and have a dachshund named Cuca back at my family home in Laredo. Anyone who knows me knows I’m constantly talking about her. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your pets when you can’t be there. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks as part of my daily routine, so I’m happy to give your dog the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. Whether your pup enjoys a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. For experience, I recently completed a three-week house and dog-sitting job caring for two dogs, which included daily walks, feeding, medications, playtime, and keeping them on their normal routine while their owner was away. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a flexible summer schedule and will treat your dog like they’re one of my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your I'm home for the summer from school and have pretty open availability, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily adjust to meet the needs of different pets and schedules—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits naturally into my routine this summer. I only provide care in the client’s home, which I find helps pets feel more comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. When I’m in someone’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, playtime preferences, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always do my best to keep them happy and stress-free while their owners are away. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates and photos during visits as well!
About: I have always grown up living with dogs. Personally I had 4 little dogs, 2 Bichon's and 2 Toy Poodle's in my own house, but I always was the person in the family to "babysit" the other dogs in the family. I'd feed, bathe, and walk the dogs depending on what was needed and I have always managed to get along with any dog I meet. I am currently a full time student at Roger Williams University and am working a part time marketing job that is remote. I have a good amount of time during the day since my classes are normally in the morning at 8-10 and other classes are at night from 6-9. Th When I usually sit, I tend to hang out with the dog for a longer time than usually, especially if they have been alone for awhile. Depending on where the location is and if it is nice out I'd be more than happy to take the pup on a walk or even play fetch outside.
About: My name is Desiree. I love animals and i miss being around them. I love the lessons they are always trying to teach you! I've always had a dog growing up and in the last 4 years i had the pleasure to learn, play, love, have so many adventures and the company of Cooper and Charlie, due to a breakup i no longer have their presence in my day to day life. I’ve so much love to give and would love to share some with your pet! My mom and my aunt run an animal rescue center in Brazil and I've always been taught that every animal deserves to be loved no matter what! I’m so excited to meet your pet and have great adventures and share wonderful moments with them!
About: I’ve always had a dog and/or a cat. I cared for my family dogs all throughout my life and I’ve also cared for fish, birds, lizards, and frogs. I’m ok with snakes too, but don’t have care experience. Currently in a place where we can only have a cat and I miss having a dog so much. I’m in outside sales and I have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes and getting along with their pets. I’ve also done some pet and house sitting on occasion throughout my life, and it’s always been a joy. I just love dogs and cats and I’d be happy to help take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule with no specific routine. I have client appointments at varying times each week, so I can work around that. If you need a consistent schedule, I can plan for that as well. In your home I will be happy to learn your pets routine and boundaries. I can feed, change water, crate, give medicine, play games and take your pet out for potty time. I’m ok with cleaning up puppy pads for puppies only. Adult dogs I am fine with walking or outdoor cleanup.
About: I have been taking care of my two family dogs at home since since elementary school. Trusted to look after friends and families dogs of all ages and consistently take care of my roommate cat while she travels Can do regularly scheduled weekly to biweekly dog walks and drops in! Comfortable walking with harnesses or collars. I am available for overnights and don’t mind traveling a bit of a way to get to you and your pets! I can easily crate and I crate your pets ( both my dogs are crate trained) take them out for a walk or play with them in the backyard! For overnights I will follow any rule set by you for the house and pets

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Calla has been amazing with my girl 🐾 Even though today was only her second walk, I already feel completely confident in her. She really took the time to get to know my dog’s personality and learn her specific walking routine. My girl can be a little particular..especially around small dogs, and Calla has been very mindful of that, making sure to keep her safe and comfortable while they’re out. That kind of attention and awareness means a lot. She’s reliable, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog is already excited to see her, which says everything. I’ll absolutely be hiring her again; highly recommend!
Bella is a wonderful person, and she clearly cares about the animal in her care. She went above and beyond for Gunner while we were away, his comfort and peace of mind as priorities. While he did miss us in our absence, he looked for her the first morning after our trip and I’m sure he was asking where the nice lady was! ❤️🐾We’ll be re-booking in May! Thank you Bella!!🤗
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea went above and beyond in every possible way. She came to my home and took incredible care of my dog Lorenzo—walking him, feeding him, giving him treats, playing with him, and making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even cleaned his dog bowl without being asked, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Andrea kept me completely at ease by sending pictures and videos. She is genuinely friendly, trustworthy, and an exceptionally kind person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and would absolutely book her again without hesitation.

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.

- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
