“Brian has a great large fenced in backyard which is great for dogs who love excercise and playtime like our puppy Byron. He was very accommodating when we needed to book last minute and even went out of his way to drop off Byron’s collar which we left at his house by accident. Would definitely recommend him to others in the area!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”

“Marilyn was an absolute blessing! She accepted Smoky last minute after my original sitter canceled while I was here visiting from Florida for a family vacation. From the moment I met her, I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated, sent pictures, took him on walks, and made sure he was happy and engaged. It was obvious Smoky truly enjoyed his time with her. She even told me he was such a joy and hated to see him leave, which meant so much to me and showed how much she truly cared for him. I truly appreciated the love and care she gave him. The next time I bring Smoky home, Marilyn will absolutely be my first and only choice. Highly recommend her!”

About: Huge pet lover since age 10! I started watching dogs in college and fell in love with it. I have also watched friends and families pets multiple times throughout my life. Whether it’s a playful pup needing a daily walk or a quiet bunny requiring gentle handling, i am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each pet. I pride myself on creating a safe and loving environment giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in good hands! I work fully remote during the day meaning i will always be around to make sure your pet is fully attended to and taking all breaks needed. I have multiple fenced-in dog parks where I live and a great backyard if you would like your pet to have some outdoor play time. I am also opened to scheduling meet and greets before accepting a booking and can’t wait to meet!

About: With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue and a lifetime of owning dogs, caring for animals is our family’s true passion. I have successfully managed pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs, giving us the insight to handle any situation. To provide the safest and most relaxing stay, I exclusively board one family's pets at a time. This ensures your dog gets personalized, individual care tailored exactly to their routine. Your pup will join our loving family—including my two dog-savvy kids (ages 8 and 9) and our sweet 1-year-old mixed breed, Winnie. Whether your dog thrives on quiet snuggles or loves joining us for car rides, pup cups, and hikes in the woods, we treat them just like a member of our own pack! I own my own business and work flexible part-time hours, so I can be home to provide plenty of love, play, and supervision. On the weekends, I am entirely free and dedicated to our guest pups, only stepping out briefly for our kids' sports events. Because I exclusively host one dog or one family of dogs at a time, I do not force your pets into a rigid routine. Instead, I completely tailor our daily schedule around your dog's typical feeding, playtime, and bathroom habits, ensuring they feel safe, pampered, and right at home. Safety and trust is my top priority. With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue, I am well-versed in canine body language, flight-risk prevention, and handling diverse medical or behavioral needs. My home sits on two acres of very secluded, peaceful property backing up to beautiful conservation land. While the yard is not fenced, this means your dog is never just left outside unsupervised; instead, I provide dedicated, hands-on attention with structured leash walks for all outdoor time. Because I exclusively host one family's pets at a time, your dog will never face the stress, unpredictable behaviors, or resource-guarding risks that come with a multi-dog pack setup. They will only share space with our gentle, dog-savvy children and our friendly, 1-year-old resident pup, Winnie.

About: Before moving back to Newport County, I was an avid pet sitter in Cambridge, MA and the Boston area. I was a regular sitter for multiple families. This included dogs, puppies, cats, guinea pigs, birds, bunnies, fish, and many more. I helped families work with rescues that were diagnosed with anxiety from previous traumas to assure the dog would feel comfortable in his/her new home. I have experience administering medication and bringing comfort to your dog. I have worked with dogs of all sizes. I am available on short notice, and am very active, so I can make sure that your pet gets the exercise he/she needs. I am an avid animal lover and I am very reliable, dependent, and kind pet sitter. It would be my pleasure to work with you and your pets! I currently split my time between Narragansett and Newport! I work full-time at Salve Regina University. I am available before 8am, typically after 5-6 pm weekdays, and during my lunch break for home visits near the university. Weekends have more flexibility! I take clients on Aquidneck Island, Jamestown, Narragansett, Wakefield, and other nearby locations. I am unable to pet sit at my residence, however, I am available for pet sitting at your home. I have a car, so I am able to bring dogs to great dog parks, long walks, hiking trails, etc., based on your needs.

I am also flexible for early morning or late-night care when needed.

“David was great with my 2 doodles. He was able to accomodate a last min say for both of them. Even though my dogs are super friendly w humans, one of them is difficult with other dogs and requires eye drops 3x a day. He was patient with her and watched her carefully and slowly introduced her to the other doggie guests. By the end of the 2 day stay sprinkles wa out roaming the yard with the others having fun. I got photos and updates and felt very comfortable having them in David's care. Would book again without hesitation.”

About: Hi! I’m Kristyn — lifelong dog lover and proud pup‑obsessed human. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of the happiest parts of my day. I’m newer to official dog sitting, but giving dogs attention, comfort, and a sense of safety is something that comes naturally to me. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just being a calm presence, I love meeting dogs exactly where they are and making sure they feel at home. I treat every pup like my own, and I’m all about creating a fun, loving, low‑stress experience for both dogs and their humans. If your dog loves affection, routine, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys their company, we’ll be a great match. Dog sitting fits naturally into my routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life—I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to building my day around walks, attention, and companionship. I work full‑time, but I offer sitting during the times when I can be fully present, like my work‑from‑home days, weekends, vacation weeks, and days off. Those are the moments when I can give dogs the consistency and care they deserve. I’m also open to weekend and extended stays when my schedule allows. My goal is always to make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and well‑looked‑after while they’re with me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We have a fully fenced‑in yard that gives dogs plenty of safe space to run, sniff, and explore. Our dog Sammy is super‑friendly. She absolutely loves people, kids, and especially other dogs—she’s a great built‑in playmate for visiting pups. I have two kids (11 & 14) who adore helping with walks, playtime, and giving gentle attention, so dogs get lots of love and interaction throughout the day.

“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”

Geoffrey was an excellent host for our boy Bodie. He was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay. Bodie seemed to have lots of fun running around the backyard and playing fetch! We would definitely recommend booking with Geof!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Bristol is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $141 per night. On Rover, 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.

There are 970 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bristol. About 91% of Bristol sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 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.

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
