House Sitting in Bristol

About: I’ve had many years of experience taking care of animals. I have a deep love for all animals and have experience in walking dogs, taking care of cats and giving lots of attention to all furry creatures! I’m currently a graduate student so I will have lots of time to give your animals the attention they need. Please reach out to learn more about my availability. I will give your animals lots of love and attention and like to make the experience enjoyable for them. I have a dog at back home and know how important it is to trust a pet sitter!

About: Hi there! My name is Julia, and I am an avid dog and cat lover! I've grown up with a pet since I was ten years old, with my childhood cat Scout! When I was 17, I finally got my dream pup, Shaye! From a young age, I have been in charge of changing kitty litter, scheduled feedings, taking long walks in the park, and taking the best care of my fur family. Throughout the last couple of years, family and friends have trusted me with watching over their cats and dogs. I am very schedule-oriented and am always on time to feed, walk, or clean up. I love keeping them in the loop with pictures of their pets while they are gone and keeping them updated. I loved exploring parks with my dog, taking her on long car rides, and giving all the love and attention she needs and I would do the same for your dog or cat! :) I am currently a graduate student at RWU. While my classes are long, I have breaks throughout the day to check in, feed, or walk! I am currently available on weekends with ample time to spend with your pet. In your home, I will strictly follow any rules or safety precautions you have in place. I am comfortable crating dogs, using harnesses, and leashes. With cats, I am used to ensuring that there are no choking hazards such as cords, plastic bags, etc.

“Aspen is fantastic. She’s organized, thorough, awesome with animals, and extremely respectful. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, took great care of our best friends, and sent lots of pictures. Aspen’s fee is a bit higher than other’s and she deserves it. She’s a real pro. We look forward to working with her from here on out.”

“Evan was great watching our anxious rescue Rosie. Rosie warmed right up to Evan even though she is very scared of strangers. If you need a reliable pet sitter Evan is it. Thanks”

“Audrey did an amazing job! We have two beautiful pups we love and it’s hard to find someone we trust to take care of them. Audrey came to our home and watched our boys. We received pictures each day and we came home to a very clean house. We will definitely have Audrey dog sit again for us. Thank you, Audrey…”

About: Growing up, pets were always in the picture, and at an early age I became fascinated with Veterinary Care as my career choice! Over the years, I’ve become accustomed to gauging their behavioral ques and properly assessing their needs for exercise, medical attention, adequate nutrition, boundaries etc. I possess an Associates of Science degree, and attended 3 years at Colorado State for my Bachelor’s of Zoology. Relative courses taken at CSU include Dog Biology and Behavior, Large animal anatomy, Animal biology, Food animal science, Ornithology and Genetics. On the pre-vet track, I have roughly 2 semesters left before I graduate and can apply to Veterinary school. I gained extensive animal-care experience while working in various settings; From boarding and daycare kennels, to emergency veterinary hospitals and clinics. I practiced proper animal handling techniques, ICU procedures, injecting anesthesia, intubating dogs, monitoring vitals, maintaining level of general anesthesia during surgeries, monitoring recovery status, and performing emergency diagnostics in laboratory (bloodwork, urine screen, fecal analysis). I am extremely grateful for the experience I acquired, as it has prepared me for identifying pet emergencies, and taught me the importance of timely response for health concerns. Meanwhile it gave me an outlet to apply the knowledge I acquired through academics, and will be continue to be useful when caring for your beloved pet. During my visits, I will make sure your pet/s get plenty of attention and care. I will be my mission to ensure they feel comfortable with me, whether that entails the use of treats, play time, or simply sitting by them for company. I know pets are like family, so during walks or potty breaks, their safety is my priority. I am not working currently, although I begin school at URI in Kingston, RI this Fall starting Sept. 3rd to Nov. 25th. I plan to be a full-time student, although I do not yet know my weekly schedule and will update my calendar as soon as I have this information. While my availability during that time will be limited, I have left my schedule availability open, as I plan to also work on my free time! While in school, my day time availability will be limited, good news is that I can be available for evening and overnight stays and care from Sept. 3rd - Nov. 25th, 2026. Until then, I’m free to fill my schedule with Rover bookings! (Refer to my calendar, as I may have bookings already in place) I understand that it may be extremely discouraging when deciding to use pet-sitter services. I also realize that this may not be your ideal route for pet care, due to your restricting circumstances. So, I applaud you for taking this initiative to fulfill the needs of your pet/s. I can provide whatever accommodations necessary to ease your mind prior to you officially booking with me. The specific details listed in my services can be negotiated to fit you and your pet’s specific needs. Through my listed services, I can certainly arrange times where I can stop by to let out your pup, feed your pets, give medication, etc. during any time of the day/night, and can be readily available in evenings, with full available for overnight care and house-sitting as well. Prior to services, it would be beneficial to meet face to face with you and your pet, where we can discuss details, expectations, concerns and anything else, as I believe it is essential that you feel comfortable with booking with me, and trust that I am capable of supervising your pet/s. It is additionally very important to me that your pet/s feels comfortable and relaxed in my presence. I intent to implement a trusting bond with you, prior to services, and I strive to (if not initially), eventually gain the trust of your pet/s during my visits with them! While caring for your animals, I approach my responsibilities with the principle “better safe than sorry”, as I feel better taking preventative precautions to avoid potential future problems. This means I will clarify with you, anything I am not 100% sure of regarding the care/needs of your pet. During my visit, I will also not hesitate to notify you of any concerns or issues that I may have regarding changes in your pet’s behavior/health. I will remain sincere of my actions taken, in caring for your pet/s, and can provide you with general updates/pictures of your pet/s while you’re away! (If you want, of course). The more detail you can provide me about your pet/s, the better!

“Having Cassy watch our dog in our home was an absolute dream. She was communicative, organized, tidy, and took SUCH good care of our dog. I couldn’t believe how thorough and well planned her stay was. She communicated her plans and schedule well before and during the stay. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and took care of her our home like she would take care of her own. We came back to a clean home and a happy, well loved dog. I hope to have Cassy back again and again.”

“Our dog, Cooper loved staying with Addison and other dogs for a few hours. She took amazing care of him and kept us updated with pics. We will definitely use her again!”

“Kim was quick to respond, proactively sent updates on our pup, and even braved the cold to make sure he got his walks. She left our house clean and seemed to take great care of Doug!”

About: Hi there! My name is Myah. I am a full time college student who is a proud best friend to a loving golden retriever, aka my hiking buddy! I have always taken care of dogs throughout my life with family pets but found a professional job with an animal hospital to learn more about these friends. I have worked with all sorts of dogs; big and small, outgoing and reserved, sick and healthy, baths, medication, treatments, you name it! That job has taught me the ins and outs of canine care and furthered my love for them more. I have also taken up dog sitting here and there. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your little ball of joy and help in any way I can! I am a full time third year college student with a part time job, so my weekly schedules are pretty tight but for now I would be available Wednesday afternoons, any time on Friday, and Saturday afternoons and possibly mornings. Schedule will change as the time of year changes! Since I am looking for dog walking opportunity for now, I will follow all safety instructions that YOU tell me is vital for you and your furry friend.

“Another spectacular sit with Allison! Communication is great, pets are so happy and the house looks nicer than when we left 😀. Highly recommend!”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats for 20 years, from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing feeding schedules, and handling dogs of all sizes (I currently accept 16-100+ lbs). I understand that your pet is family, and I provide the same attentive, loving care I'd want for my own animals. You'll receive photo updates throughout the day so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-in visits, including last-minute requests. As a new sitter building my client base, I'm offering special introductory rates for early clients. I'm available throughout Warren and surrounding areas for daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting during weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. For house sitting, I stay at your home to maintain your pet's familiar routine and environment. I follow your specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I keep your home secure by bringing in mail, alternating lights, and watering plants as needed. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses, and I'm mindful of your dog's comfort level around other animals and people. Safety is always my top priority—I stay alert to surroundings and weather conditions during every walk.

About: I have owned and taken care of others' dogs (and cats) since the 1950s. Not quite Cesar Millan, but dogs usually pay attention when I whisper, or use CSL (canine sign language). Love the nonjudgemental relationship that dogs provide so much better than humans. Our Abyssinian cat misses his brother, a black lab, and sits on my lap to provide mutual comfort. I am a retired lawyer with a very flexible schedule. A few community and social obligations some evenings and Sunday mornings. Spending time with dogs will go a long way to curing me of undesirable couch potato tendencies. My wife and I now live in a small apartment with not enough room for pets unless preapproved by our Abyssinian cat. In the future, might make room for temporary visits by small dogs (or cats).

“Carissa took excellent care of our two cats! Sent daily photos and texts which is so reassuring! She even put down ice melt for us when we got snow. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”

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.

“We feel so lucky that we found Cassidy! She took our poodles on not 1 but 2 walks while she spent a few hours with them. We love the photos, texts and notes that she provides and pure thoughtfulness that makes us feel like she is an extended part of our family.”

“I highly recommend Megan! From our first meet and greet, it was apparent to me that she had a love of animals. She was prompt to our appointment, calm and gentle with the pets and asked great questions. Megan house sat for us and took care of our three senior pets, two cats and a dog. Our 16 year old dog can be apprehensive with change as he was a rescue dog at the age of 14. It was important for us to keep him comfortably in our home, and Megan took great care and went the extra mile when he had a couple of accidents. She sent us photos and updates while we were gone. We would definitely rebook with Megan in the future.”

“Ryan was very responsive and amazing with my two dogs. He spent the day with my dogs in my home and provided regular updates, photos and videos throughout the day. He is kind and respectful. I highly recommend Ryan and plan to use him again.”
