“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”

“Leigha provided high quality care and housing for my Velvet. She sent pictures and videos daily. She was responded back quickly to my concerns and questions. My Velvet has separation anxiety and she gave her the needed medication and care. She walked Velvet daily which Velvet loves! I would recommend Leigha to board or care for your fur baby!”

“Carly was amazing and kept me updated throughout my trip. She took great care of my two Pomeranians and made sure they got lots of playtime. When I went to pick them up, they even went back inside and acted like they lived there. It was great to see and we can’t wait to visit Carly again. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.

“She did a great job with my chocolate lab, Pal. He's a large 8 month old puppy. I knew she could take care of him because of her past reviews . Pal was happy as could be when we picked him up. He went right back to his sleep schedule. I was worried that might change after being gone a week. Highly recommend Melanie.”

About: Hi! I’m a teacher and lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I’m a reliable pet sitter who provides daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your pet stays happy and comfortable. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to details—qualities that carry over into how I care for animals. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is for them to feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free until you return. As a teacher, I have a very structured and reliable daily routine. During the work week, I go home every day on my lunch break to let my own fur babies outside, check on them, and give them some attention. Because I already make time for my pets in the middle of the day, it’s easy for me to incorporate caring for other pets into my routine as well. My schedule allows me to provide care before work, during my lunch break, and again in the afternoons and evenings. This makes it easy for me to handle walks, potty breaks, feedings, and playtime throughout the day. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m used to making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Since I already prioritize my own pets’ routines, adding another furry friend to my daily schedule fits very naturally for me. When caring for pets, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible by following their normal routine. I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding routines, medications if needed, walks, and preferred play activities. I also make sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. They receive lots of love, supervision, and a safe, calm environment. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and comfortable places to rest. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Ken took the absolute best care of my old English sheep dog! He is quick to respond, extremely communicative, and such a great person. You can tell when someone is a true dog / animal lover and Ken is just that - he radiates love to his own dogs and all the dogs he watches. I received photos and videos everyday and could tell my dog was having an absolute blast and being completely spoiled by Ken and his lovely wife. Thank you!!

Would highly recommend Jennifer. She is super friendly and looked care of my pet (Zeus) wonderfully. She was also super flexible on the first meet and greet and also on the drop-off and pickup. Will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bristol is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $53 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.

As of October 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

97% of sitters in Bristol can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bristol home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bristol.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Bristol sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

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

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
