“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: 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.
“Belem took the time to come and meet our dog and get to know us before our family holiday. She took our young cavapoo for 11 walks in total while we were away and they bonded brilliantly. My parents really appreciated the help. Whilst away we received some regular updates and pictures which was great as she is our first dog and we all missed her. Highly recommended 😄”
“Thanks Chloe (and your housemates) for looking after Denny while we went to the theatre. It really helped make our day run smoothly. Really appreciate it, thanks again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, so I know exactly how important it is to find someone you trust to look after them. I have 5 years of experience keeping pups happy, active, and comfortable. My Schedule & Availability: Because my hotel reception job is part-time and exclusively in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are completely wide open. This makes it incredibly easy to fit daytime dog walks and drop-in visits seamlessly into my routine. Your dog gets my full, undivided attention during the day—no rushed visits, just quality time and plenty of belly rubs! Experience & Safety First: Working at Cafe Revival—a highly popular pet-friendly cafe—and my current reception role at the pet-friendly Ibis hotel has given me fantastic experience around all kinds of dogs. I’m completely comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether dropping in or walking, I prioritize safety above everything else by strictly following your house rules, keeping dogs securely on-leash, and double-checking that doors and gates are entirely locked when I leave.
About: Hi! My name is Mag, I’m 26 years old, I work part-time in hospitality, I’m starting my own pottery business and me and my partner take care of pets in our free time. I absolutely love all animals, I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I got my first dog, Lucky, a rescue Bichon Frise, when I was 12. Unfortunately, he was later diagnosed with epilepsy which meant I had to be trained by a vet to manage his condition, including giving him medication (lots of ham was involved). I now have a Coton de Tulear named Yogi, and two cats, Mia and Leya, who all live with my mum. I miss them a lot but I do get to see them quite often! Since I travel home quite a lot, I’ve decided to wait before adopting a pet of my own and instead channel my love for animals into pet sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks so taking a dog out on an hour long walk won’t be an issue for me. We’ve now taken care of around 10 pets including both cats and dogs, some regularly returning! I absolutely love animals and I’m that person who always stops to say hi to every dog on the street. I always treat pets with love, patience, and a good dose of playfulness. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them the care and attention they deserve! Having a part time job means that I’m never out of the house for longer than 4-5 hours & my partner is always at home in that time. That also means that I’m able to take your pet on a walk 3 times a day. I will take the best care of your furry friend, give them lots of cuddles and play with them. I can guarantee a minimum of 3 walks per day, in the morning, afternoon and evening. Can do an extra walk if necessary. I will give your pet loooots of cuddles & follow your instructions when it comes to feeding etc. If I’m doing overnight stays, I will totally allow your pets to sleep with me in the bed (unless you ask otherwise).
“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!”
“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 🐶”
“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 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 :)
About: My family had cats growing up and I regularly look after people's dogs! I love taking dogs out for walks, I love being outside and always think having a dog gives the walks more purpose! I am responsible and will make sure they are well looked after. I will give your pets lots of love and attention. I have completed 3 trusted house sits as well, looking after dogs. Since being on Rover I have walked dogs and looked after cats, dropping in for visits. I really miss having a cat and would love the opportunity for more cat time and cuddles! I have recently moved back to the UK after living in Vancouver for 3 years. I moved to Bristol a couple of weeks ago and am keen to meet some new dogs and cats! I have completed 6 trusted housesitter visits which I absolutely loved. Whilst I am in between jobs I have plenty of time to care for pets and go for dog walks! I always ensure there is fresh water, stick to the food schedule outlined by the owner but give treats to the pets as a reward. I am responsible so if necessary can give medicine to the pets. I always give them lots of attention! They are an easy distraction for me.

Rudi was fantastic from the beginning. So fast at replying and accommodating. Rex had the time of his life on all of his walks! The daily walk updates and photos were fantastic. He always came home happy and relaxed. Will definitely be using Rudi again in the future.
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.
Kerry and Matthew are both really kind and Dexter has taken to them really quickly, which is great! It was a good walk with them both for the first time although Dexter was showing off as well. Thank you both and see you again in the future, I would definitely recommend them to any owner looking for a Sitter / dog walker.
We reached out to Ben on here for Millies first 'out of the family' walk. We are so glad we did! He was on time, and was patient and accommodating with all my rambles. Ben is super calm and his experience really shows putting our minds at ease straight away, just the perfect fit for our pup. Will definitely reach out again :)
To get to know her before an overnight sit in a couple of weeks, Annie kindly joined us on one of Daisy’s walks to to learn all about Daisy’s “quirks” and have a go walking her on the lead. Annie comes across as the sweetest and loveliest person, and Daisy seemed comfortable with her immediately. Once Annie left, Daisy even kept looking back to see where she’d gone! Daisy can’t wait for her next hangout with Annie, who seems to be really understanding not just about staffies but that some dogs need a little extra time to get to know someone before their first proper sit. Thanks Annie and see you soon!
Our dogs absolutely love Catlyn! From the very first meeting, they listened to her straight away, which says a lot. She's wonderfully attentive to their needs, quick to flag any concerns, and keeps us updated with plenty of photos and videos of all the fun they're having together. We couldn't ask for better care. Thank you so much, Catlyn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bristol on Rover is £17.25 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,935 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.

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.

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,935 Walkers in Bristol, 43% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
