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.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had a variety of pets since I was a young child. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, so I'm confident adapting my care to each dog's individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable and loved while they're with me. Growing up, I had a Lurcher, an English Bull Terrier, and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which gave me experience with very different temperaments and energy levels. Since then, I've regularly looked after many other breeds and have become comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and requirements. I'm patient, understanding and affectionate. I'm confident handling different temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, lots of playtime, or simply wants someone calm to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I am currently not working after taking a career break, which means my schedule is very flexible. I'm able to work around your needs. I'm happy to care for your dog in your home, especially for larger breeds, as I live in a one-bedroom flat. Caring for your dog in their familiar environment can also help them feel more relaxed and comfortable while you're away. Your dog's safety, wellbeing, and routine will always be my top priorities. I'll take the time to understand their individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), favourite walking routes, and any behavioural quirks or preferences. I always follow your instructions carefully to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I'm also happy to discuss your dog's specific needs beforehand so we can make sure they're receiving the best possible care while you're away.

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.

About: Hello! I've had 5 years of experience with dogs' aftercare, and around 13 years with cats. Since childhood I always fed and looked after street animals in my hometown. And my friends could rely on me to check in with their pets, feed, clean and look after them. Additionally, I shortly had an experience of looking after a senior dog. I am currently working full-time, I am available for boarding and house sitting or animal care/ dog walks on the weekends, evenings, and Mondays. I can offer pets lots of attention, companionship, and dedicated care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, keep pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they feel relaxed and loved while in my care.

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.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 15 years old, as my family have always had pets. Nowadays I frequently help my family friends and neighbours if they have to go away for some time. In the past I have taken care of my dog, who had allergies all the time, he needed medication and other stuff, I also have experience in training, so would not mind to help you out with training your pet. Otherwise I would just love to meet new people and pets, and help take care of other’s little furry friends.☺️ I am a uni student, therefore I have plenty of free time between lectures and in the evenings, therefore, would gladly spend that time with someone’s pet friend ☺️ I am a very calm person and would never do anything to scare or trigger your pet, if the owner has a cage and there are instances where the pet has to go into a cage ( those times have to be listed by the owner) I can easily cage the pet. If walking the dog, it will always be on the leash, unless we are in the area, such as doggy park, allowing to unleash the animal. Doing this job, my main priority will always be my and the pets safety.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and a lifelong love for them. Growing up, my family and I adopted a small, mixed-breed dog from the streets, and he became a cherished part of our home until he sadly passed away. Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I’m passionate about spending time with them, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy. Currently, I work full-time as an Account Specialist. On weekdays, I’m available to care for dogs and cats after 4:30 PM. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can provide care at any hour to suit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my care. My home features a pet-friendly balcony for fresh air and playtime, ensuring they have space to relax. Since I don’t have any pets in my flat, your furry friend will have my full attention, making it a calm and stress-free experience for them.

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: Hi, I’m Mariana, I'm new in Bristol, my husband and I just move in into the country, we came from Colombia, I work at a bakery. we had our dog back in Colombia, Topster, my father is taking care of him because we couldn't bring him with us :( So when I find this website I get pretty exited, I'm dying to have a dog because I'm missing Topster, but at the same time we will need to do many things before adopt a furry friend for ourselves. We don't have kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I’ve got some outside space that you dog can use. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I’m usually available on weekends for walks or for full weekend stays. On holidays normally and during the week after 5 pm every day after work. Your furry friend will be king or queen of the place, I don't have dogs in here so all my love and attention will be devoted to them, I have a lage backyard that they can enjoy I'm also passionate about long walks and games in the park. I have been owner for 20 years of dogs and can assure you I'll take care of your pet as my own.

Synolda is kind and using her is convenient! Leaving your dog with her has the added attraction of the extra socialization with her darling little Jack Russell terrier in addition to a completely dog friendly environment. Your puppy will be treated with love, taken for walks, and be a part of a family while they are away from you. I highly recommend Synolda!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bristol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bristol on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 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 1,694 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 .
