“Mallory was great with all the details. Meet and greet went well and Lizzie loved her right away. I appreciated all the communication she provided about pickup and drop-off as well as Lizzie's behavior while I was gone. Will def use Mallory and her family again.”
“Alyson always takes great care of Aerys. She is very communicative and quick to respond. I would recommend her to anyone. She will care for your pet, like it's her own.”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“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!”
“Kelley has been absolutely amazing with my dogs! Thank you for all the photos and FaceTimes! Without a doubt, I would use your services again. Thank you for taking such great care of Aubri and Remi! 💛”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Can’t recommend Hannah enough! She has been SO great to work with, has the best yard for playing, sent lots of pictures/updates, and our dog loves the whole family! We’re so happy to have found her, and are looking forward to more stays in the future!”
“Carly was fantastic and was able to watch my puppy on a short notice! She was very thorough and kept me up to date on how my pup was doing throughout the day and sent pics. Thank you Carly for giving me peace of mind while I was out of town and loving my fur baby. Would definitely use again! ☺️”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’ve always had a special place in my heart for them! I’ve had everything from Huskies to Pekingese. I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility as well as plenty of time to play, provide attention and snuggle with your pup! Working remotely allows me for flexibility in my home, where the pups have free range. I stay mostly in the main level of my townhome and have a fenced balcony as well as tons of grassy areas for the pups to go and play on
“Very loving home for house-sitting puppies. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and this was so far superior to having them kenneled. Jennifer gave us frequent updates along with pictures. I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs, and we will use her 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!”
“They were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We couldn’t have found anyone better for our little Mister Hank especially at somewhat last minute. They treated him like their own and sent so many wonderful pictures of him and them spending quality time, ensuring he was a happy pup! We truly love the passion they showed for him and we could tell the love for animals they give! Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet boy!!! Anyone is lucky to find you all! We highly recommend and any trips back to tn we have and need a sitter…. We will definitely ask them first hand!!!”
“Thom was the absolute BEST dog sitter I have ever had. And I have been using rover for years! He sent me frequent pictures, videos, and updates of my girl while she was there. He took amazing care of her and handled her high energy so well! He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and so kind. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my girl with a new sitter. I recommend him to everyone!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Alyson and Blake did great with Kaspar. They were attentive and Kaspar responded well with them. They gave him his medicine and kept him quiet during this recovery time. They included him as part of their family which Airedales adore. Kaspar is looking forward to next time with them.

FAQs for Boarding - Bristol
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bristol on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 105 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Bristol sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bristol landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
