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 understand canine body language, know how to manage reactive or high-energy pups, and can seamlessly handle senior dogs or medical needs. 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. Elite Communication: You get instant updates, high-quality photos, and bathroom confirmations after every single visit.
“Parys loves being with Briana and her pups! Briana is a great caregiver. I like that Parys has social activity and comes home pretty clean. There’s turf and that helps with keeping clean. No dirt digging😁. Thanks Briana!”
“Kimberly was amazing to work with! Superb communication skills and such a positive experience for our Stella! :) We will definitely be returning for doggy daycare and boarding! Thank you!!!!!!!!!”
“Jacqueline takes great care of my dog and he absolutely loves going to hang out at her house!! I feel very comfortable leaving him with her all day and know he's being well taken care of and getting lots of love!”
“Jessica is wonderful. I’ve used her repeatedly over the last few months and it’s a relief knowing my dog was in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Erin was great. She was responsive, flexible, welcoming to our Dotty. She understood the quirks of our dog’s breeds and seemed very capable. Sent nice pics, too. I would definitely recommend her.”
“We needed someone to watch Lucy just for the day and Jean was the perfect person. Lucy was very comfortable with Jean and was a happy girl when we picked her up. Jean gave her lots of attention and took her on two walks. We have already booked with Jean again.”
“This was my first time using Rover or someone other than family to watch my dog (past or present). We started with a short daycare visit for our current rescue, Gracie. Leanne provided multiple updates, pictures and I ended the visit knowing my dog was in good hands with proper care. Leanne and her family are warm and welcoming and made Gracie part of their family during the visit. I will definately be back for future daycare or boarding needs. Thank you”
“Our dog had an amazing time with Danielle and we couldn’t be more pleased. Danielle is communicative, attentive, and incredibly accommodating to our dog, who requires a bit more patience and understanding than most. It’s a huge relief knowing our dog is in such good hands when we’re busy. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book with her again.”
“Anely takes incredible care of our pup. She is attentive to our dog's needs and wellbeing, communicates consistently (we get updates and pictures throughout the day), and flexible. Every drop-off, our pup is super excited to see Anely!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from growing up with them as a child to raising them as an adult. I currently own a puppy and love being hands-on with daily walks, training, and playtime. With years of experience providing consistent care, attention, and affection, I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available on weekends for walks, playtime, and pet sitting. During the week, I can also stop by for quick potty breaks, feeding, or check-ins to make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m lucky to have a fenced-in dog park right in my neighborhood, which gives pups a safe space to play, exercise, and socialize. You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bristol commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 628 sitters in Bristol, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
