I also have a 1 year old small dog that I adopted recently. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for a little over 3 years but with a recent retirement I have more time. I look forward to caring for your babies! I am a recent retiree so I am home most of the time. I currently care for 4 dogs and a cat of my own.

“So Happy to have found Stephanie on Rover for Sailor Girl's walks! Stephanie is dependable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.”
About: I use my experience as an RN to better care for dogs and cats. I have great assessment skills that help me understand your pets better. I have years of experience caring for geriatric people and animals. I have developed an empathy for pets and pet parents that only comes from years of working to provide the best possible care I can. Whatever your pet needs, from feeding to end of life care, I would be honored to have that responsibility. I am available any day of the week. I do have other obligations occasionally. The sooner you call, the better I will be able to accomodate you and your pet. When we decide that I will care for your pet, I prefer to meet both (or all) of you in your home so that we can discuss your pets needs. I like to spend some time getting to know all involved better, At that time you can show me whatever I might need to know. I look forward to meeting you!
About: I'm a quick learner with a genuine love for animals. I enjoy building strong bonds with pets and understanding their individual needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, caring, and personalized care, making sure each pet feels safe and loved. I’m eager to learn and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure both pets and owners are happy. I’m currently working a part time job but it won’t stop me from meeting a new friend i have a weird schedule just text me and we can chat about him/her!! Im always open for cuddles ALWAYS !! They will be spoiled as if they are my own I promise. And we have no rules in this house 😎
“We were in town over Easter weekend for an event. Needed care for our PWD. Hannah was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable from the start. She was very thorough and gave our dog multiple walks and spent time with her giving belly rubs. While we didn’t get to meet her in person, our pup seemed very happy. If we are in the area again we would definitely reach out to Hannah!”
“Absolutely wonderful dog walker! You can tell he loves animals so much. It comes through in everything He is saying and the way he interacts with them. I highly recommend Thomas for any of your pet care!”
About: My name is Candi and I have had pets all my life. I have taken care of many size dogs Including newborn puppies and kittens. Whatever you would want me to do for your pet I am able. With me pets come first. I’m currently working part time but self employed so I can put ur fur baby as my top priority for WTV they need to for me to do I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a good sized house and also I very big back yard for us to play in even with a extra long leash as we play if they like playing escaping games, they will be sleeping in the same room with me unless told otherwise by the pet owner so I can always keep a close eye on them
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.
About: Not only have I taken care of dogs for a family vet since I was 9, I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for years! I’ve taken dogs on countless walks, playdates, and even administered medication and provided first aid. Your pup is loved and cared for in my hands! I currently attend ETSU full time, with many gaps between my classes. I am available pretty much all day, every day, with the exception of a few one-hour classes! I come prepared to visit your pup! I let them approach me at their own speed, pace their walk how they please, and observe their body language and adjust accordingly! I have experience in introducing dogs, providing medical assistance, general care for all types of animals, and in rare cases, swiftly and safely breaking up dog fights.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Maggie is AMAZING! We have two fellas that are not very fond of strangers. But Maggie has been so warm, patient, and willing to work with us to came up with a strategy to get her better acquainted with the dogs. Now they absolutely love her and are so excited to see her. She is great about making sure that the dogs come first above everything else. So if one didn’t do all of their business on the first walk, she would walk the other one, and then just do one more quality outdoor potty just to make sure that everyone had done their business accordingly. She’s not rushed, she truly cares, she has a bright and friendly personality. And best of all she’s patient and works with your animal’s quirks to meet them where they are and ensure a really good and positive experience for everyone. Our family can’t say enough good things about Maggie!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bristol is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 313 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Bristol. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bristol after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristol. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
