“Stellar pet sitting. Ning went above and beyond to make sure I knew my cat was take such good care of. She was attentive to details and followed all care instructions. My cat loved her and behaved just like I was home. So reassuring. I will be booking with her again! Such peace of mind.”
“We've had Tina and her son Skylar as sitters for many years and they always do such a good job. Our pets love them and they are always sure to give frequent updates.”
“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Renee was wonderful with our 2 puppies. One even had an accident and she called us to find out what she should do. We have a shampooer. She asked how to use it and actually shampooed their floor for us. She treated our puppies so good. Playing outside and walking. I would hire her again.”
“Shatoria did an amazing job with my 2-year-old dog Siena. She has excellent communication and sent me quite a few pictures. Siena was able to go on multiple walks during the day. I will definitely be using her again for dog sitting and highly recommend her.”
“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”
About: I have a lot of experience caring for a dog; I helped my aunt throughout my childhood; as an adult, friends and acquaintances asked me to sit and look after their pet. I know that every pet is individual and I will try to make sure that your dog is happy while he is waiting for his owner :) I’m working full-time, but depends of the day I can be total free if you needed :) we can just speak and see which days and time you needed :) I have a friendly cat who will keep company with another cat if necessary.The cat is neutered and has all the vaccines. She so nice and delicate. I have a lot of toys and snacks for cats, I always take into your requests and wishes for care :)
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood dogs as well as my own since I was 6. I have also been working in doggie daycares for 4+ years; I take a lot of pride in being able to build connections with the dogs I get to take care of! I am currently a full-time worker, but I can always make time for your pet! I tend to have a bit more availability in the mornings!☀️ I like to come and hang out with the dogs as well as taking walks when it's nice out. I am able to administer any medications needed, as I am trained/told. I am also willing to give any baths or extras as long as I get the instruction!
“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”
“Pam was amazing a great communicator Ruby really warmed up to her quickly you can tell she is a trusting and responsible human. Thank you for taking such great care of Ruby while I was on my work trip”
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Sylvia watched our 3 dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. She sent us updates and let us know when she got there and when she was leaving. She was great!!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jesse! She took wonderful care of both our dog and our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, super kind with our pets, and clearly loved spending time with them. She even surprised our dog with some plush toys before she left, which meant so much to us. When we came back, both of our pets were completely relaxed and happy, which says everything about the level of care they received. On top of pet care, she was a huge help with things around the house when they came up and shared really helpful advice for managing our dog’s allergies. We truly felt supported the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier with her care and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend.”

FAQs for House Sitting - East Bristol
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Bristol on Rover is $31.08 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 House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Bristol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Bristol walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Bristol maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Bristol choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
