“Nicole has cared for Milo with so much compassion. Nicole made me feel at ease right from the beginning. My boy is very special to our family and he was perfectly looked after during Boarding service and Walking service. All Milo needs were met, Nicole stayed in touch at all times. So glad we found Nicole, I highly recommend her. The most important thing for me is that Milo always comes home happy.”
About: My orange cat has trained me very well, I can handle the zoomies like a pro. I love cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes (but probably sticking to smaller/medium dogs for walking). Very used to feeding schedules, playtime and zoomies. I am lucky enough to interact with dogs at work daily and love getting lots of kisses and cuddles from a happy pup. Available all weekend for cat/dog drop ins and walks, and on weekday evenings from 5pm onwards! If you can leave me instructions to follow then I’ll be happy to do what you ask! Happy to do extra visits and give treats, administer medication or give them some playtime depending on their needs.
“Amber is great - I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. As an anxious dog he has various things that make him nervous and we do training to work with him on this. We did a meet and greet beforehand where she took care to learn about my dog’s personality and training routine. While I’m stuck at work, it’s lovely to see the photos of Bobby having fun on his walk 🐶”
“Liz is a quick and reliable communicator when making arrangements to walk my young Labrador Larry. She kindly came to mine for pre-visit to meet Larry and collect the key to my flat. She followed all instructions thoroughly and all went smoothly. Would recommend.”
About: Welcome to my page! I'm Jess, a passionate animal lover who truly believes that caring for pets is its own special kind of therapy. I pour unconditional love and dedicated attention into every animal I look after, treating them exactly as I would my own beloved companions. Your Trusted House Sitter for Happy Pets at Home As I don't currently have my own home or pets, I'm delighted to offer my services as a dedicated house sitter. This means your lovely furbabies can stay happy and relaxed in their familiar surroundings, avoiding the stress of boarding. I'm excited to provide all the cuddles, play, and personalised care your pets need while you're away. My background is rich with diverse animal care experience: Veterinary Expertise: I bring three years of experience as an assistant in a specialist veterinary hospital, working with a wide range of patients including those undergoing orthopaedic, neurological, ophthalmological, and cancer treatments. Rescue & Special Needs Care: My years working in animal rescues abroad provided invaluable experience with dogs, including those with physical disabilities requiring wheelchairs, managing incontinence (diaper changes, bathing, grooming), and understanding fear aggression behaviours. I even wrote a children's picture book, "Pups Paws On Wheels" (check it out on Amazon for a fun, educational read!), inspired by the incredibly happy and mischievous dogs I cared for. Medication & Complex Needs: I am highly proficient in administering medications, from routine doses to managing critical situations like epileptic seizures, as I did for a cat during a pet sit in Dubai. I'm also skilled in advanced care such as bladder expression for paraplegic pets. Broad Pet-Sitting Experience: My experience in the UK spans dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, covering all aspects of daily care like precise feeding, walking, and ensuring their comfort. My approach is built on patience, understanding, and immense love, always prioritizing positive reinforcement with plenty of treats! Being very active, I love walking and swimming, so your pets will enjoy ample exercise and playtime. I'm committed to following all your specific requests, whether that's keeping your dog on a lead or allowing them supervised off-lead time in a safe, enclosed space. Your furbaby's well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Ready to ensure your pets are happy and cared for in their own home while you're away? Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have! Much love, Jess Fully available at moment to care and be around all hours for your furbabies.

About: I currently work at a dog day care where we house over 30 dogs per day in an outside/inside environment, from this job and my life I have years of experience with dogs in various situations. I’ve learnt how to monitor dogs behaviour and reactions to certain situations or environments. I’ve had animals my whole life, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Sheep etc and i have experience with multiple breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs! I’ve learnt how to train dogs from puppy’s to an elderly aged dog who just needs some help with their age. I’ve had cats throughout my life and love their quirky personality’s, I understand how some cats want their own space and how some want some gentle company! Ultimately I love dogs and cats so much and do anything I can to treat them like they deserve, I treat all animals as if they are my own! I am fully trained in dog CPR and first aid. I’m Fully available on Tuesdays to care for your pet, but on the other week days I finish my main job at 5pm so I would only be free in the evenings 5:30-10pm. I’m also free on Saturdays and Sundays to help where ever I can! I am able to safely keep your dog or cat in a safe environment at your home, Constantly keeping an eye where they are at your home and making sure there’s no way for them to hurt themselves whilst you’re not there or any areas that they have the chance to get out of, I promise to leave your home with a happy pet that has been treated how they deserve. If you would like me to take your dog to a certain area to walk i own a car harness! I’m also fully trained in dog CPR and first aid
About: I have grown up with 1 giant family dog and 2 cats. After the chaos of that household during the puppy training stage, i’m sure I can handle anything! My neighbours have often trusted me to check in on their pets, including bathroom breaks, walking, feeding, and just generally keeping them company. Having looked after pets of different ages and sizes, I feel confident that I can keep them happy and safe, as well as maintaining routines set out by their owners. I also have experience sitting for 2 elderly cats who needed special attention and medication, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me even if your pet needs any extra love and care! I’m currently a student at the University of Bristol, so will have a few hours of work during weekdays but still plenty of time to pop in and play with your pets. Living right in the centre of Bristol means i’m able to quickly get around and take last minute sits/ walks. I may also be available for longer pet sits in your home on weekends and half term holidays, so please don’t hesitate to ask! In your home and when out on walks, I will respect the routines/ rules you set out for your pets and make sure to keep them safe at all times.
“Very happy to recommend Joshua. My dog Malcolm seemed very comfortable around him from the off. Joshua was very dog-centric which is as it shold be, asked all the right questions and communicated superbly throughout. Nothing was too much trouble.”
“Rafaela took my poodle Otis for near daily walks during a particularly busy fortnight. She was punctual and communicated well. Otis had a good walk and was always happy and tired on his return. She took lovely photos during their walks which was great to see. Would recommend. Many thanks!”
“Amanda was fab! She came & met us before the day she was going to walk Mischief & asked all the right questions. She took excellent care of her on a super warm day, I felt Tiny Dog was in safe hands. Thank you!”
“Josh is great, he’s totally reliable, and loving towards our golden doodle. From the daily photos Josh sent us from the walks we can see that our dog loved them. I can recommend Josh highly.”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m a reliable, patient and caring person who treats every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s needs, personality and routine. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m punctual, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I am also the proud owner of a Shiba Inu called Suki (you can see her posing in my pictures). I will treat your dog with the same love and care as Suki 🐕 I work full time but am able to fit walks into my lunch break & in the evenings after 4:30pm to 8pm. I am flexible. N/A - I don’t offer dog sitting services only walking. This is so I can keep active and also help those who may not be able to walk their dogs as often as they’d like.
“Friendly, charming - Benny the dog loved her instantly. I think her greater dog/puppy experience (than mine) might be very useful in training this lively pup. Lizzie managed to persuade him to come home more quickly than I ever can. Will rebook.”
About: I have been active on Rover for 2 years and on Borrow my doggy prior to that for 8+ years so have had a lot of experience sitting, walking and boarding! I also grew up with dogs and have always been told I have very special bonds with them! I am looking for a full time dog walking job, I am available 5-7 days a week so am very flexible when it comes to walking your pooches! I can be available in the mornings, afternoon and evenings :) I have the upmost love for dogs and will ensure their safety at all times, show them lots of love and attention and take them on many walks as I live by lots of lovely parks :) If I were in your home I’d follow any guidance or routine given to me and would do the same as I would in my home in regards to love attention and play! I live and study in Raleigh road so am flexible with days and times, I study Mondays and Tuesdays 10-5, other than that I am free before :) I am devoted to dogs and am readily available to care feed and walk the lil beans! I’ve had experience with all dog ages and can look after all different dogs! However, preferably I’d sit a dog who is able to cope being away from their owners (I understand your doggo will miss you and in their own home it’ll be easier but a stressed dog is not nice to see) therefore guidelines, tips and any current behaviours and potential behaviours that could be exhibited. If you have had sitters before it would be helpful to gain an insight into what your dog is like when you’re not there as it always varies and I want to make sure they feel and know they are safe with me :)

Couldn't have asked for a nicer person to look after our precious boy. Ellie was right on time, extremely polite and kind, and Rocky took to her like a fish to water. I cannot recommend Ellie high enough, and she will be our first choice the next time we need a dog walker/sitter in Bristol.
Clare swooped in at fairly late notice to give Murray a 1hr walk on a Saturday when we were oversubscribed. Met before for a brief walk in Oldbury Court where I got to meet her lovely dog Pearl too. Super happy, it sounds like they had a lovely walk and Murray was well looked after. Thanks!!
Sasha is great, always treats Iris very well and sends me updates, I trust her to come in and out of my house in my absence. She’s always very accommodating even at last minute requests when free, I’m super grateful! At the risk of her not being available so much for Iris, I would highly recommend!
We were so so happy with Rocko being in Bertille's care while away! She took the time to meet him before hand and get to know him a bit, which was great because he can be a bit shy! Lots of updates and pictures from the walks which we looked forward too, couldn't recommend Bertille enough! Thanks so much :)

The average cost for Dog Walking in Bristol on Rover is £17.54 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,969 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bristol. Enter your postcode 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-to-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 your Bristol. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bristol.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 walker.
