“G ran straight to Josh the first time we’d ever met him! She looked very relaxed sleeping in the photos and was keen to go back to him again a few days later. Happy dog, happy owner. Thank you Josh!”
“Charlotte was wonderful with Otis. He relaxed very quickly with her. She gave him a lovely long walk during his stay. Otis was very calm and relaxed when we picked him up. He had clearly had a great time. Will be asking Charlotte to look after Otis again.”
“Kemi is a star! I'm so happy with the thoughtful care she provided for my older girl, Trixie. She was attentive to all of Trixie's need and my (probably too detailed) instructions. And she was so warm and kind. Trixie instantly felt at home when I dropped her off, and was clearly happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I couldn't ask for more! I highly recommend Kemi for any pups looking for a great place to stay.”
“Jackie is brilliant and couldn’t rate her highly enough. Poppy had three walks during her day and also had the benefit of Jackie’s lap for all of the morning while she was working, which is above and beyond. I saw Jackie walk with her v briefly while coming to my car and Poppy was looking up at her with the sort of adoration she usually saves for family ❤️ Poppy has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always eat or poop when with sitters but not a problem with Jackie. Communication was excellent and from point of drop off to collection I couldn’t have been more reassured. I only met Wally the schnauzer fleetingly but he seemed an absolute sweetheart too. I can highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking dogcare in central Bristol and will definitely be looking to book with her again. Thank you, Jackie - was an absolute pleasure!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for 30 years (my whole life). My parents have always had Lurchers so I have experience with medium - large sized dogs who love a good walk. I live with my boyfriend who also loves dogs and has grown up with Dalmatians and a Munsterlander. I’m a freelance events coordinator so can be flexible on availability. I will also have the odd weekends free as well as days in the week. I always make sure I’m nearby when looking after a dog so they feel safe and secure. If walking outside I’ll keep them on a lead and if we’re in a garden I’ll make sure it’s securely fenced off.
“Venezia was brilliant. I needed some help looking after Mabel after a very late change of plans and Venezia was immediately responsive to my messages and very welcoming and accommodating. Mabel had a great time and came back exhausted after her fun little day.”
“Thank you so much for looking after Maple. Communication was prompt and easy and everything went very well, Maple came home a very happy pup! Would definitely recommend and contact again.”
About: Hello! I'm a passionate Animal Scientist with a big heart for pets of all kinds. My journey in pet care began with my degree in Animal Science from UNESP (Brazil), one of the best universities in Latin America in this field, where I specialised in animal behaviour. For over five years now, I’ve been running my own business, "Casa da Zoo," gaining hands-on experience and a deep understanding of what pets truly need. I’m experienced in a variety of services, including: • Specialised Pet Sitting: I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets—from dogs and cats to exotics—and am skilled in looking after senior pets and administering medications. • Canine Expertise: I offer professional dog walking and training, using gentle and effective positive reinforcement techniques. • Behavioural and Nutritional Support: With my scientific background, I provide professional advice and compassionate care tailored to pets with unique needs. My goal is to give your pet the best possible experience, with lots of love, professionalism, and a true understanding of their individual well-being. I'm excited to be part of the Bristol pet community! I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability throughout the week. I’m ready to provide your pet with the best possible care, offering them plenty of attention and comfort whenever they need it. I provide care both in the owner's home and in my own home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. Whether they’re staying in their familiar environment or coming to mine, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. Before we start, we'll have a meet & greet to go over their specific routines, from feeding to medication, and I'll follow your instructions to the letter. You can expect regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know your pet is doing great and feeling loved. When staying at your home, I’ll always treat it with the utmost respect and ensure everything remains safe and sound.
“William had a wonderful time with Caitlyn! I received regular updates and photos and was completely reassured that he was in very capable hands. I have already rebooked as I know William will have the best time!”
“Amanda did a great job with Maple. Communication was quick and smooth and she sent lots of photos. Maple was very happy to see her again and she came home a very happy pup! Would recommend and contact again”
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter. Friendly person with great communication. We have to drop Charlie the dog off very early in the morning but this was no problem for Olivia and most importantly Charlie loved her. We will definitely use Olivia again.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience looking after pups of all ages—from playful two-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs over ten. I’ve cared for many breeds, both big and small, including Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Westies, Bichons, Fox Terriers, and Shibas. Each dog has their own personality, and I always take time to understand their needs, routines, and quirks. I believe walks should be fun and engaging, not just the same old route every day. That’s why, whenever I have time, I love taking dogs on mini adventures—hiking in Red Deer Park, exploring Snuff Mills, playing in the river, or spotting deer and flowers in Clifton. Their happiness is my biggest reward, and I love seeing them explore the world with joy and curiosity. I’m incredibly patient, calm, and gentle, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently live in a spacious, pet-friendly 1b1b apartment with plenty of room for dogs to relax, even larger breeds. Whether your pup loves cuddles, quiet time, or outdoor fun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm currently a PhD student, but I work from home most of the time, so my schedule is quite flexible. That means I can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day I live in a pet-friendly 1b1b apartment that’s clean, spacious, and comfortable—even for large dogs. It’s a quiet environment, which is great for pets who are sensitive or prefer calm spaces. I keep the floors clean and disinfect regularly. If I’m hosting a cat, there’s a 2.2-meter-tall cat tree at home that’s always a favorite. I follow each pet’s usual feeding habits and routines carefully, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved during their stay.
“Isabel and Arthur were fantastic with Reggie. The communication was great and they sent some really lovely photographs. When we collected Reggie, he was very happy. We will definitely use them again.”
About: I have grown up around pets and have lots of experience caring for dogs and other animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have helped friends to train their puppies and in landscaping for many years, people’s dogs were always my favourite part of the job. I will be the main person looking after your dog, with my partner Nicole, an ecological consultant and fellow pet lover, around to help - she has been verified separately by Rover. We’re both confident with energetic young dogs, older pets and those who need a little extra patience and attention. We absolutely love animals and will treat your pet as one of our own. I work in the early evenings running social events such as pottery nights for 20-40 year olds in central Bristol, usually from about 7-9pm. I also have daytime meetings with venues or artists once or twice a week in Bristol or Cardiff. My partner Nicole will be home at these times to care for any pets (including our own cat Mila, who is totally chilled and nonplussed about dogs). Otherwise my time is desk based and flexible and I can accommodate pets that need long walks or a bit of extra care and attention. The garden is securely fenced off and the house is calm and pet friendly. We’re happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication and plenty of play and cuddles. We can keep pets separate or crate them if needed.
“Lyra enjoyed her stay with Laura. We were a bit late picking her up and Laura was very accommodating. Was happy to do a meet and greet beforehand so we knew lyra was going with someone who will look after her well.”

We’re so happy we’ve found Seren and Ramin on Rover. From the get go, they’ve been absolutely fantastic. We felt instantly at ease when we met them, and knew Louie would be in safe hands. Their communication is great - they kept us updated with photos throughout the day showing Louie looking happy and relaxed, and when we picked him up, he was so happy and excited! We can’t recommend Seren and Ramin enough - they have so much love to give to the animals they look after, and we’ll absolutely book with them again.
This was our first time using Rover for our puppy and we're so glad we chose Emily! Samson had a brilliant day and received lots of attention. We also received lovely updates and photos of what Samson was up to through the day, and would love for Samson to stay again. We would highly recommend Emily as a caring a conscientious pup sitter 😊
Dolly was pulling on her lead to get into Kylies home when I dropped her off. She obviously loves it there seeing her friend Remus and Ronnie who was also there. So reassuring to know she is being well looked after and having a good time. Thank you once again Kylie! We’ll see you again soon.
Shivani and her husband provided excellent dog day care for my young puppy on short notice. The communication was very clear and I could tell straight away that they both were very knowledgable about looking after dogs - and they clearly loved having dogs around! I would highly recommend.
Amy is just wonderful! Trev had the best time at Amy’s house, playing with her dog Juni and being cared for and fussed over. He came home so happy and exhausted from all the fun! Highly recommended by me and Trevor, thank you so much Amy for looking after our boy! 🙂
This was our first time using Rover, and using it in a different city to where we live. Amy was great! She really took the time to make sure everything was ok before the day of our booking, offering a video call and answering any questions we had. Amy took care of our dog Cleo and we were sent updates throughout the day which was nice. We would recommend Amy to others and hope to book in with her again in the future. Thanks so much Amy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bristol on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,730 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Bristol. About 85% of Bristol sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Bristol commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
Sitters in South West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
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 you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter 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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
