Dog Walking Bristol

“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: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 15. My neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to take care of, walk, and feed their dogs if they need to leave them at home. I've worked at a dog day care and boarding kennel for three years, where I'm in charge of taking care of multiple dogs of various sizes and breeds at a time. This involves cleaning their rooms, feeding them, walking, and playing with them so they receive enrichment while being away from home. I'm currently a full-time graduate student. Outside of school, I have plenty of free time to play with your pups! I'm available for drop-ins or walks on Wednesdays, Fridays, and the weekends. I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and routine like they're my own. For drop-in visits, I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, playtimes, and any other specific needs. I'll make sure all doors and gates are safely closed, or put your pup back in their crate if requested. During dog walks, I will keep them securely leashed at all times and use safe handling practices. I will provide updates to keep you informed about how your dog is doing during each visit.

“I have a large, energetic four-year-old dog, and Maggie did a terrific job walking him. She was friendly and punctual, and my pup took to her right away. He came home tired and happy from his walk and is looking forward to seeing her again.”

About: Hello! I’ve been trusted by many people in my circle to care for their pets for extended periods of time and also just for potty breaks and walks! Wether your pet just needs some cuddles and social time for a couple hours while you’re at work or a long walk through the park before you get home I’m more than happy to help! I work seasonally in the summer months and pick up occasional substitute teaching jobs in the fall and winter so my schedule is highly flexible and open for dog walking/pet sitting! I prefer if there is a list of instructions for me so I can make sure your pet is getting the same care and attention they would normally receive from you! If there are any behavioral or physical limitations regarding your pet just let me know and I will be happy to accommodate.

“Tarah has been great with our active & energetic doodle! She is very responsive, always on time, and genuinely loves dogs. She changes her route each time so he can get fresh sniffs and she gives a detailed report with each walk. Rocky runs to the door every time she gets here and I have full faith in her when he’s with her. I’d highly recommend Tarah!”

About: Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for pets. I've provided pet sitting and drop-in care for friends and friends of friends, giving me experience with dogs and cats of different personalities, routines, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Owning my own dog has taught me the value of patience, enrichment, positive interactions, and paying attention to each dog's individual personality and needs. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside for walks and adventures, and I love making sure dogs have the opportunity to explore, sniff, and enjoy their time outside at their own pace. Whether your dog loves a longer adventure walk, a game of fetch, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. For cats and more relaxed pets, I'm just as happy spending quality time keeping them company, playing with their favorite toys, or providing a calm and comforting presence while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like one of my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Since the school year has begun, my availability is more structured as I return to teaching. It is more focused on providing weekend support and occasional weekdays during the school breaks. I will continue to update my schedule and communicate clearly to make sure I can provide reliable care for the pets I commit to. I enjoy being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship when their families need an extra hand. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Before each visit or walk, I will take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs or preferences. I believe every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that some dogs may be nervous, shy, or need extra patience when experiencing new people, places, or situations. I will always take the time to build trust, pay attention to their body language, and adjust my approach based on what helps them feel safe and confident. For walks, I focus on creating a safe and enjoyable experience by paying attention to your dog's energy level, surroundings, and comfort. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic adventure or a slower walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore, I will follow their pace and needs. During drop-in visits, I will treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet's routine consistent, and provide updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they are happy and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both you and your pet—giving you peace of mind while your furry friend enjoys some extra love and attention.

Recently graduated RWU. I work a Monday - Friday however have time after 6pm as well as mid day and weekends. Open to walks or more. I know that pets are basically furry children. You need the best care with someone that you can trust. I understand this responsibility and I will give them the same love and care I would my own pets.

About: Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing long walks or a senior pet requiring medication, I am comfortable, patient, and prepared. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience while you are away. I work from home, so your baby will get nonstop attention and cuddles! I do have a fenced in yard and do not require dogs to be crate trained. I always prioritize your dog’s specific needs—whether that’s gentle walks for seniors or active play for puppies. I work from home/have a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present with your dog/cat. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and always focus on both your pet’s mental and physical exercise. I ensure a safe environment by keeping fresh water available, maintaining a clean space, and checking that all gates are secure. I do allow your pet to sleep on my bed unless instructed otherwise. I send photo/video updates and follow your feeding/medication instructions as well as any others given. I do allow meet & greets at my house if preferred!

About: Puppy knowledgeable and enjoy training. Love walks, reliable, friendly. I've taken care of family and friend's animals. I'm semi retired and have availability. I work a couple of days a week so I have plenty of time to interact with your doggies. I can be available on short notice I do not have a fenced yard so I will always use a leash for walks or potty breaks. Your animals will always be supervised

About: I currently work at the Newport Navy Base at All Paws On Deck doggie day care. I have been there for about a year and am currently one of the lead staff members there taking care of the dogs. I have learned so much on dog behavior and safety. Since working there it has ignited an interest to become a dog trainer. The joy that dogs bring to my life has been so rewarding and I love every minute of my job and being with all my furry friends. I have grown up with always having a dog in my life and had parents that instilled responsibility that came along with it. I have watched and been responsible for friends and neighbors dogs when a helping hand is needed. My up bringing with always having a dog was that they are not just an animal but another member of the family and have to be treated as such. I have been very lucky to have had grown up with amazing dogs. I have rescued 2 beautiful greyhounds that were former racers in Florida. This particular breed is my passion due to the challenges it gives to teach them how to transition from the track to home life. This breed typically has never been inside a home and needs to be taught everything! Stairs, Windows, glass sliding doors, furniture, a yard, trust, and having her own toys and bed. This has taught me so much on how to relate to the dog and learn how they see life. My life currently when im not working is spending time with my family and enjoying the "island life" in Portsmouth. It is my husband and I along with our two boys and Anita (my greyhound). I work part time at the doggie day care. My availability time is flexible. I work half days so im available in the morning or afternoon depending on the day. I will respect the clients home and their pets boundaries and needs. I see it as entering their safe space and would not want them to feel that I am there to change that or threaten that.

“Myah is getting along great with a very high maintenance pup! She's making time to get to know our dog and build trust with her. We are happy to see this going so well!”

About: I’m an animal-loving farm girl with a lifelong background working with animals of all kinds. I hold a bachelor’s degree and have hands-on experience caring for everything from cockatiels, chinchillas, and turtles to horses, cows, and a wide variety of dog breeds. I’ve owned and worked with many rescue animals, which has given me a deep appreciation for each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I believe in building trust, creating structure, and meeting every dog where they’re at — whether they’re high energy, sensitive, or just want to relax in good company. My experience as a veterinary technician in both small and large animal medicine allows me to confidently recognize when something isn’t right and respond appropriately, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Whether your dog needs exercise, a potty break, fresh water and snacks, or just some quality companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy caring for your animals. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. You'll receive updates, photos, and honest communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My experience extends beyond cats and dogs, so I'm also comfortable providing care for other pets and farm animals during drop-in visits. No matter the species, every animal receives the same level of patience, respect, and compassionate care. I currently work another job Mon-Thurs until 4pm. I have limited availability for walks and drop-ins those evenings. I am available for more frequent and consistent walks and drop-in visits Friday, Saturday & Sunday. If you have questions about availability, please feel free to message me! Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and routine. During drop-in visits and walks, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication administration when needed, companionship, and gentle exercise appropriate for your pet's age, health, and energy level. Whether your pet prefers a leisurely walk, a little time outside, or simply some good company and reassurance while you're away, I strive to make each visit a positive and stress-free experience. Safety, communication, and reliability are extremely important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, monitor for any changes in behavior or well-being, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for in your absence.

About: I have always been a go-to to dog and cat sit for friends and family that needed to know their fur babies would be safe. Whether it was for a check-in or staying over an extended period, the animals would be first priority. I am a remote worker with a semi-flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet at any hour. I can generally work around any schedule that your pet needs. Any specific care that your pet needs will be adhered to. I ensure that the pups will be under great supervision and kept entertained. Walks and anything else needed will be taken care of as well.
