About: I’ve been a Veterinary Assistant for 20 years now, am Nationally Fear Free Certified, and am currently in medical school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been pet sitting since I was a child, love animals and have dedicated my life to helping them. I know what it is like to have to leave your fur baby behind while you travel and the stress of having to take them to a boarding facility. I offer my services to bring peace of mind that your baby is being given the highest level of care whilst you are away. I am available to care for pets full time. I can take them out as early as 7AM and let them out as late as midnight; My neighborhood is very safe. I can take puppies out as often as needed. In my home: We will go on a minimum of 4 walks a day and have a minimum of 3 play sessions with toys if desired. I am happy to have pets in the bed, they can be on the furniture as well and they are free to roam. In your home I will abide by whatever routine your pet already has established.

Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!

About: I’ve personally taken care of cats and dogs. Previously, have trained a puppy. So I know the calmness and patience needed to care for pets. Also, timely updates are very useful for the pet owner. Thanks. I currently don’t work, so I have a lot of time and availability for pet sitting. Please let me know in advance and I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and tasks. I have a beautiful one apartment, so there’s lots of space to freely walk. I lock away cleaning chemicals. There is lots of space to keep familiar pet items near.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a baby, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with American Eskimo Dogs and now have two fun, energetic one-year-old Beagles, so I have experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love dogs of all kinds and understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I’ve also spent many years volunteering in dog rescue advocacy online, helping support rescue organizations and promote dogs in need of loving homes. That experience has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, patience, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and personalized care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available before and after work, on evenings, weekends, and many holidays. If you’re located close to my home, I’m also available for select lunchtime drop-in visits or walks when my schedule allows. I understand how important consistency and reliability are, and I’ll do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine while providing dependable, loving care. I know every pet has their own routine, and I believe consistency is one of the best ways to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Before each visit, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s habits, preferences, and any special instructions so their routine stays as normal as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, providing plenty of exercise, administering medication, or giving a little extra attention to a shy pet, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: I have had pets a majority of my life, from small hamsters and guinea pigs, to my current 10 y/o pup! His name is Momo and I have had him for 6 years now. I am in graduate school, completing my full time clinical rotations and trying to make a little money on the side! I have a busy schedule, but I would love to make time for your fury friends! I will get to know and love your animal(s) individually. I know what it is like to have a dog with an inaccurate stigma attached to his breed, so you will get no judgement from me <3

She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.

Many thanks, Samantha! So grateful we connected here. She’s been so good to and with my dog. He’s a grumpy old guy but she’s won him over :). She’s been great at keeping us in the loop with updates and pics, responsive to what he’s in the mood for (eg walk v hanging in the yard) and keeping an eye on how he’s doing. Really appreciate her working us into her schedule as we quickly became one of her regular clients. Highly recommend Samantha!

Josh is amazing - attentive, kind, and caring with our two big dogs. They get so excited whenever he walks through the door, and after their hour-long walks, they come home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out! We're incredibly grateful to have found Joshua. It's clear how much he cares about the dogs he works with, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pups and for being so awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were impressed with how thorough and detailed David was during the meet and greet, and this carried over when we were away and to the attention he gave to our 2 large pups for a week. Once all of his questions were answered, it is clear he provided excellent care and carried out all instructions to the tee. He sent updates 3x a time with pictures so we knew they were doing well - exactly what you want for your fur babies and so you can enjoy your vacay without that worry. We would absolutely book David again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bristow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Bristow on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 15,083 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bristow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bristow stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bristow choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Bristow with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristow. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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 sitter.
