“Nicole & Ryan are absolutely amazing!! They are responsive, kind, and accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care and cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be reaching out again and we know our dog is just as excited as we are to have found a good match!”
“Carrie was wonderful. My goldendoodle puppy is a tired girl after her stay ( a tired puppy is a happy puppy) There was a nice large yard for her to run around. Carrie was excellent!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 8, varying from puppies to senior dogs. I’m known to be very loving and patient with animals and having great connections with pets! I’ve worked with animals of all shapes and sizes and love them all! I have a pretty free schedule for the summer so there is plenty of time for me to spend with your pup! I babysit my 2 year old brother some days and work nights in a pizza shop over the weekend. When first meeting the dog/ animal I make sure to dedicate time to allow them to get comfortable with me and the fact that i’m in their home. I like ensuring a mutual feeling of safety and trust between the dog and I so we can have a fun and stress free time together!
“Tara was great! She took Buddy on a walk right away to ease his separation anxiety! She said he adjusted well settling in for the night. She even sent us a picture! Pick up was a breeze. Tara and Buddy met us outside and we were on the road in no time heading home. I’d recommend her service anytime!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently work as an Animal Control Officer and also volunteer with animal rescues, so I’m deeply familiar with animal behavior, safety, and care. I’ve dedicated my life to helping animals—whether it’s rescuing strays, fostering in need, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting and walking services tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special attention, I’m patient and understanding. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Why Choose Me? • Experience with dogs, cats, and animals with behavioral or medical needs • Animal Control Officer – trained in safety, handling, and emergency care • Volunteer animal rescuer • Calm, caring, and trustworthy • Fluent in Portuguese and English Let’s chat and see how I can help your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a part of my everyday life—it’s more than just a job, it’s who I am. As an Animal Control Officer, I work daily with animals in all kinds of situations, always ensuring their safety and well-being. Outside of work, I volunteer with local rescues and foster animals whenever I can, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walking, grooming, and giving pets the love and attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, caring for animals is built into my schedule. I’m used to handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, and I always make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. With my background as an Animal Control Officer and experience in rescue work, I’m trained to recognize stress signals, prevent accidents, and handle emergencies calmly and quickly. In your home, I always follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, they’ll have a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, supervision, and structure. I never leave pets unsupervised outdoors and make sure everyone gets the attention, play, and rest they need. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my mission.
“Paige was wonderful with my pup, Lulu! Paige is very responsive, responsible and organized, and takes very good care of her charges. Paige's young sons were awesome with Lulu, and her own dogs very friendly and patient with her. Highly recommend Paige!”
“Lydia is the absolute best! From the second I met her, I knew that my sweet cavapoo, Sunny, was going to be loved on and well taken care of - and that was exactly the case! Lydia provided consistent communication and Sunny had the best time. So thankful I found someone so wonderful and reliable to watch my girl when needed❤️”
“Highly recommend! Briana was fantastic at keeping me informed, sharing tips, and sent pictures of my pup throughout the day. It was comforting to know my dog was in such good hands.”

I always always always put my dogs needs before myself. I would treat yours the same way! I know how difficult it can be to find someone to give you peace of mind to watch your prized possession!

“Moo is always happy to arrive at Kim’s and I love seeing the silly pictures of her playing with her friends. Kim is flexible, easy to book for both overnight stays and daycare, and so friendly. We’re so glad we found her on rover!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry friend in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet like family with patience, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. As a Shiba Inu owner, I know that every dog (and cat!) has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, independent adult dogs, and gentle senior pets who may need a little extra time and care. Koda, our dog, is the sweetest, friendliest and most calm dog I know. He would welcome any visitor with open paws and play with them during the stay. I work from home, so pets get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to adjust to their routine, whether that’s feeding, exercise, or just keeping them company. At my home, pets enjoy a fenced yard, plenty of playtime, and the company of my friendly dog, Koda. In our home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and comfortable.
“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“Kharma had such a great time at doggy daycare today! He got plenty of attention, lots of love, and had an absolute blast playing and enjoying his day. It’s clear he was well cared for and happy the entire time.”
“Anely is incredibly kind a great dog sitter! I’ve been leaving my dog with her for weekly dog sitting and the occasional overnight stay for a month and a half now, and he always comes back refreshed and excited! She’s incredibly flexible to schedule changes and sudden needs to extend a day-care stay into an overnight stay. Cannot recommend her more!!!”
“As always Leanne and Michael do an amazing job with Teddy. We have nothing to worry about when we leave him with them. She takes care of him like she does her own Bailey!”
“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”

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 619 sitters in Bristol, 88% 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.
