“We have a high energy black lab that needs a walk every day and have recently had Brianna come over for drop in walks. Brianna has been fantastic. She has walked him over 2 miles every day and we come home to the happiest pup! We are so glad to have Brianna dropping in multiple times a week to take care of our pup!!”

I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience.

I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 3 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.
About: I've owned dogs throughout my whole life and my family currently has 2 young dogs. I am the primary dog walker and am familiar and comfortable with their caretaking tasks. I have repeatedly and reliably helped family, friends, and neighbors with dog and cat sitting. I am a college student home for breaks, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am pretty much always available over breaks and can easily adjust my own schedule for last minute bookings. I will talk to my client ahead of time and confirm any instructions and boundaries that they set for caretaking in their own home and follow those accordingly.
“Isabella is the only person I would trust with my fur baby! You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and is so kind and helpful! My pup tends to be on wild side and has really poor leash manners. She is so patient with him and teaches him to walk nicely. I could not recommend her enough! Such an amazing person!”

About: I have a deep love for dogs of all breeds and would be thrilled to care for your furry friend while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, I currently have three Airedales. Over the years, I’ve completed numerous obedience classes with my dogs, and I’m skilled at applying that knowledge to provide quality care. I’m experienced in raising puppies, including training basic commands, potty training, and leash walking. My one-year-old is even competing in dock diving and barn hunting, which highlights my commitment to providing enriching experiences for dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as my 11-year-old pup requires regular medical attention. In addition, I’m skilled in bathing and grooming, having always groomed my own dogs. I even have a grooming table, so your dog will receive top-notch care if required. As a stay-at-home mom with older adult kids and a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to walk, play with, or house-sit for your pups with all the attention they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’ll always walk your dog on a leash. If you have a fenced yard, we can enjoy a fun game of fetch. And if your pup needs to be crated when I leave, rest assured they’ll be content and happily exhausted after all the playtime!
About: Hi! My name is Riley, and I can’t wait to take care of your pet(s). My connection to animals goes back as long as I can remember—I’ve donated to/volunteered at my local animal shelter many times, am an active member of PETA, and have been a vegetarian for 11 years now. I have always had a love and passion for all animals, but unfortunately my family has never been able to get any due to the severity of my father’s allergies. Now that I’ve found platforms like Rover, however, I am thrilled that I will finally have the opportunity to spend time with furry friends on a daily basis! I can’t think of any job that I would enjoy more. Despite never having a dog or cat in my household growing up, I actually have a very decent amount of experience with them. I have taken care of my neighbor’s dogs on several occasions when they’ve gone on extended vacations, and I am often the designated pet-sitter when family friends need someone to help out. Additionally, since joining Rover and Wag, I have gained a ton of experience with dogs, and I also have plenty of experience with cats now that I’ve adopted two for myself. You can rest assured that I will take care of your pet as if it were my own and give it all the love and attention that it could possibly ever need. Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend(s)! I am currently self-employed and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule! Generally, afternoon/evening/night bookings work best for me since I do work late, but I can definitely make mornings work too. As my client, I want you to rest assured that both your pet(s) and your home are safe in my hands! I do my very best to make your animal feels calm, protected, and comfortable while they wait for you to return, while also making sure that they obey all of your household rules. I will be sure to keep them plenty occupied so that time flies by and they never feel sad, anxious, or lonely. At the same time, I will keep a close eye on them to make sure nothing and no one gets hurt!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.
About: Ive always grew up with dogs and cats. When they're around me they must get spoiled I cannot resist! I have a separate room that any animal is more than welcome to stay in incase they prefer being alone vs getting along with other animals. Dogs i can take anytime and Cats are more then welcome to stay for days as there is a separate room if needed, a spare litter box and plenty of extra cat food bowls! If given the opportunity to take care of your baby, I would treat it as my own! Spoil it and be sure to make sure it has everything it needs and make it feel at home even when it is not at its usual home!
About: Hi there, my name is Nina and I'm very attentive and compassionate with your loved ones. Comfortable administering medication? Yes. Velcro pet? Ready to accept attention at a moments notice. Anxious rescue? I started my journey rehousing rescues even crocheting blankets for kittens without mothers. From pubs/kittens to seniors I am your sitter ready for any type of care you might need while you’re away! I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I still devote some time to volunteering at shelters and pet sitting for international sits from TrustedHousesitters. However, for the holidays I am always home and available to care for pets nearby! I do a balance of everything for my clients: Housesitting for multiple pets at a time, Drop-ins for food or walks, Administer medication, Personalized care for traumatized pets, Senior specific care, And many more! Let’s connect and discuss what you’re looking for!
About: Hey there!! I’m a passionate animal lover with a deep dedication to providing the best care for all pets. I believe in making each pet feel cared for and comfortable, adapting to their unique needs. I previously cared for an Australian Shepherd (little guy in the costume) for over two years, so I understand the bond and love that is necessary to each fur baby. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’d be honored to give them all the love and attention they deserve! I am currently working from home and am working on my nursing degree. I am able to accept all time slots of early mornings and afternoons during the week and weekends! I currently do not have any pets here in my apartment but if needed, I have lots of living room space for running and stretching. As well as lots of time to hang out outside in our nearby parks and small trails around the apartment complex. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bristol is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $43 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 2,858 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
