Erin was wonderful. I was a little nervous leaving my pups with a new sitter but I couldn’t be happier. We met before our trip and Erin’s calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. She sent me updates and pictures of my happy dogs throughout their stay. I will definitely book again!
Seyedkamyar truly saved the day! I had a last-minute need to board my boxer, Mae-Mae, due to an appointment. I reached out to over 20 dog sitters, and everyone either declined or never responded—until Seyedkamyar came through! He went above and beyond by taking the time to do an informal meet-and-greet to make sure Mae-Mae was comfortable with him before I left her in his care. He treated her like his own and sent frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t thank Seyedkamyar enough for being so accommodating, patient, and caring, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with Mae-Mae again. Thanks again, Seyedkamyar! 🐾❤️
Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!
Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!
Rico loved spending the weekend with Gail and her pup. He actually didn’t want to leave! She was welcoming and flexible when our plans changed. She sent many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Gail and Rico can’t wait to go play again.
We had such a great experience with Carrie and Matthew! They took wonderful care of Marlin and treated him like he was their own. They kept us updated while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Marlin came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely trust Carrie and Matthew with him again and highly recommend them!
Susan was so great with my dog! Emy had trauma in her early life before we rescued her so she can be very anxious around new people. Susan was so patient with her and when we picked her up I think she listened and behaved better for Susan than she did for us! LOL. Our dog really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in the house and LOVED the big, fenced in backyard.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bristow is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Bristow can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bristow home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bristow.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristow. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Bristow sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
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 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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
