“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Myah has been such a great fit for my pet care needs. She is professional, a great communicator and most importantly, my dog loves her! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her for future pet care.”
“Even was a good and communicator, and arrived at the appointed time to meet our dog Goose. He was courteous and solicitous of out dog’s habits. We look forward to working with him.”
“I could not be happier with the service Madison provided. I came home from a three day trip to a very happy and stress free German Shepard. Madison did exactly what she promised and really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend and will use in the future. Thank You again.”
About: Since I was 12 years old, I have been sitting for friends' and friends-of-friends' animals, in addition to having several pets of my own. I also have experience babysitting and housesitting, which have informed my work ethic and quality of care. I have experience raising kittens and puppies, as well as caring for adults and senior dogs and cats. I have two dogs, three cats, and a rabbit back at home— but I currently take full care for my 18-year-old cat Greenbean, which requires administering medication, adhering to a strict feeding routine, and monitoring her health closely. I take the care of my animals very seriously, and I am prepared to do the same for your pets! I am a full-time undergraduate student with a light class schedule. I am extremely flexible, and the majority of my classes are in the afternoon and early evening, allowing me to drop-in and care for your pets throughout the day. I have experience house sitting and can stay with your pets if needed. I do not offer care in my own home, but I am excited to learn your pet’s routine and follow the direct care that they require. I have reliable transportation and lots of flexibility, so I will have the freedom to work with your schedule and provide the best care possible.
About: I’ve pet sit for a lot of my friends, both dogs and cats. I also have experience with rabbits. I really enjoy being around animals, and do my best to provide the care they deserve where I can. My timing for the most part is pretty flexible at the moment, so I can move things around on my calendar for scheduling walks or check-ins I follow instructions given, and spend time with them. I am also available for walks, so they can get some fresh air and exercise if needed as well.
“Amber was great! She suggested a meet n’ greet (why isn’t there a Rover term like Fur-st Impression or Wag n’ Sniff?!) right off the bat, which showed me that she is a professional. She was well organized and right on time for all drop ins. I loved the updates, so much so that I was disappointed when a family friend took over her care and the updates stopped! Amber is definitely a professional. She clarified a question she had about feedings and was a very positive person in general. Would definitely rebook.”
“Lindsey was amazing with my senior dog. She did two drop-ins in one day and was always on time and communicated before arriving and after she left. She sent pictures of my dog and did a great job! Would definitely hire her again!!”
“The pets really enjoy his visits! My formerly feral month old kitten has really taken to him! My dog loves all the belly rubs! He's always prompt, communicative, and gets the routine down pat.”
“Tarah has been great! She sends helpful updates after ever visit and very cute pictures. I love the fact that she is a Vet tech. and that she deals with pets on a professional level. She offered welcome advice after our puppy was spayed recently. I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a farm where we’ve always had animals of all sizes including dogs from yorkies to great danes. I’m familiar with medication maintenance & training. I value quality play time & keeping clean. Currently finishing my degree at RWU and working part time in the evenings, I am able to easily fit your pet into my day-2-day routine. I have a small backyard and live in a walkable downtown area. Two kitties are in my home that have lived with a dog before.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and I love being around them every day. I currently work as a dog daycare attendant, and I have experience teaching basic dog care to kids in a dog kennel setting. I have taken care of 15 dogs on my own while managing a class of kids. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare, and I am doing school online. I am open to help most days that I am not working. I have worked in a dog kennel/shelter for a summer as an instructor and taking care of the dogs. I also currently work as a dog daycare attendant where I monitor the dogs and make sure they are safe and taken care of. I currently have two dogs at home that are mainly indoor, but I have a small yard for them to play in as well. I like to play fetch with them at least two times a day to make sure they are getting proper exercise.
About: I currently work at the Newport Navy Base at All Paws On Deck doggie day care. I have been there for about a year and am currently one of the lead staff members there taking care of the dogs. I have learned so much on dog behavior and safety. Since working there it has ignited an interest to become a dog trainer. The joy that dogs bring to my life has been so rewarding and I love every minute of my job and being with all my furry friends. I have grown up with always having a dog in my life and had parents that instilled responsibility that came along with it. I have watched and been responsible for friends and neighbors dogs when a helping hand is needed. My up bringing with always having a dog was that they are not just an animal but another member of the family and have to be treated as such. I have been very lucky to have had grown up with amazing dogs. I have rescued 2 beautiful greyhounds that were former racers in Florida. This particular breed is my passion due to the challenges it gives to teach them how to transition from the track to home life. This breed typically has never been inside a home and needs to be taught everything! Stairs, Windows, glass sliding doors, furniture, a yard, trust, and having her own toys and bed. This has taught me so much on how to relate to the dog and learn how they see life. My life currently when im not working is spending time with my family and enjoying the "island life" in Portsmouth. It is my husband and I along with our two boys and Anita (my greyhound). I work part time at the doggie day care. My availability time is flexible. I work half days so im available in the morning or afternoon depending on the day. I will respect the clients home and their pets boundaries and needs. I see it as entering their safe space and would not want them to feel that I am there to change that or threaten that.
About: I’ve cared for my family’s dog for 8 years, along with helping out many of my neighbors and family friends with dog sitting and walking. I’ve always been actively involved in helping my family care for our pets—from feeding and grooming to playtime and companionship. I also have some experience with basic puppy training and light grooming, and I’m always patient and eager to help young dogs learn and grow. I truly enjoy building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a college student home for the summer and currently working part-time at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to take on extra work and am flexible with my schedule—I can adjust my availability week to week to best meet your pet care needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going on walks, or simply keeping them company. I am also comfortable with bathing pets and ensuring their space is clean and well-maintained. I love caring for all ages from puppies to senior dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Julia was absolutely amazing! She did 3 drops in visits for us with Harley last week and it was the best experience. Harley can be very timid and scared and Julia even came by our house the day before to meet him while we were home and Harley took to her right away, it made me feel so good about my decision. I travel for work and we will definitely be using Julia everytime going forward as long as she is available. Every update included photos and in each photo harley looked happy and comfortable it made me feel so good to know he was being taken care of while I was away and my husband was at work. Thanks for everything you do for Harley! He cant wait to see you again!
Audrey was wonderful with our dog! She helped us with drop-in visits and an overnight stay. Audrey was communicative, flexible, and our dog clearly felt very comfortable with her based on the meet and greet and photos we received while away. We will definitely reach out to Audrey again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bristol on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,586 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bristol stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
