About: I grew up surrounded by lots of animals and learned the proper way to love and care for pets. I currently have 2 goldendoodles of my own, both of which I've trained from puppies and one that I trained to be a certified therapy dog to come with me on volunteer projects. We love playing and going on walks, and your pup can either join or get some solo attention. My dogs are family, and I will treat your furbabies the same! I currently work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I'll have plenty of time to come play, go for walks, exercise, etc. throughout the day. I would prefer set schedules but can pick up additional time with your furbabies on the weekends. I know how stressful it can be finding reliable and trustworthy care for your pets so I'm looking to provide that to other pet owners. I would love to visit your home and make sure your pets are getting the love and attention they deserve throughout the day.

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.

“Lexi took such great care of my dog while I was away. She spoiled him and went above and beyond to make sure everything he needed was done. Lexi also took care of my house and I trusted her to stay in my home with my dog!”

“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.”

“Audrey is really an amazing petsitter. All of our pets adored her and she provided all the care and attention we could ask for. She clearly loves animals and treats them like her own. She was not only attentive to our pets but very clean and considerate in and around our home while we were away: bringing in all mail and packages, doing "poop patrol" (without behind asked!), bringing out the trash, following all instructions to a T, and leaving the house super tidy at the end of the week with ZERO surprises. Our dogs and cats were well taken care of and, when we got home, were sad to see her go. Traveling and leaving your pets behind can be an extremely stressful ordeal. No matter how much you screen a petsitter, in the end, you're putting a huge amount of trust in someone you just met. It can be a big leap of faith. You always pray that it works out, the pets are in good hands and your house won't burn to the ground while you're gone. Having a trustworthy petsitter who does a great job is one less thing to worry about so you can enjoy peace on mind on your trip and the pets' stress is minimized. We are so thrilled to have found Audrey on Rover and hope to rely on her many more times in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Evan did a great job with our large (3 cats and 2 dogs) menagerie for a week. Pets were well cared for and even though I had some pretty specific feeding instructions, Evan handled it perfectly. Communication was exceptional, and everything with the house was great when we got home. Honestly, no notes. I highly recommend Evan and will book again in the future.”

“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’ve had dogs of my own and understand that they aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and absolutely the person who talks to animals like they understand every word I’m saying. 😂 I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, medications, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, likes and dislikes, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable. I’m also a mom, homeowner, and working professional, so I understand the importance of being responsible, respectful and trustworthy — especially when someone is trusting me with both their pet and their home. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and weekend house sitting. When your pet is with me, you can expect regular communication and plenty of pictures and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that they’re happy and doing well. My goal is simple: for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and in good hands. 🐾❤️. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after work on weekday evenings after 3:30 and have open availability on weekends. Weekends are perfect for house sitting, longer visits, walks, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, gates, leashes, and any special needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away

About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bristol on Rover is $92 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $134 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bristol walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bristol maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bristol choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
