Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.

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.

WOW - Simply AMAZING - Nicole was incredible- caring, loving and so generous. Nicole stopped by our house a few days prior to Rogan's play date with her - we both wanted to make sure we had a good match- and Rogan was immediately smitten by Nicole's charm, her calm demeanor and of course a treat!! When we arrived to drop Rogan off, he joyfully zoomed around Nicole's place, checking out all the great toys, the wonderful roomy living area, and event the full length mirror - We received lots of great pictures of Rogan's wonderful afternoon of playtime, walking and even a bit of good old napping - after all it was an exciting and busy day! Nicole, thank you so very much for your time, your attention to our little fur-baby, and for the extra special surprise photo- Rogan is already asking to come back!! Again, thank you for your caring, generosity, patience and genuine love of 4 legged creatures - you made our afternoon and evening knowing we did not need to worry-Again thank you!!

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals with special needs. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit each animal’s age, energy level, and any medical or behavioral conditions they may have. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well-cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and a cat, my daily routine naturally revolves around keeping both my family and my pets happy and healthy. Mornings start with feeding everyone and making sure the dogs get their first walk or some backyard playtime to burn off energy. I scoop the litter box, refresh the cat’s water, and give her some quiet attention—she loves to hang out near me while eat breakfast. Throughout the day, I build in regular potty breaks for the dogs, play sessions, and cuddle time, making sure each pet gets individual attention. I keep a close eye on their behavior, health, and routines, and I’m always available for medication, grooming, or just being a comforting presence. With my flexible schedule, I can provide consistent, loving care and maintain a calm, safe environment for all animals in my home. As a stay-at-home mom, I naturally bring a nurturing, attentive approach to everything I do—including pet sitting. My days are structured and consistent, which means your pet will have a reliable routine filled with care, companionship, and plenty of love. I'm always home, so I can offer constant supervision, regular feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to juggling responsibilities with care and patience, and I treat every pet like a member of the family. Whether your pet needs quiet comfort, high-energy play, or a little extra attention due to age or medical needs, I’m fully present and ready to provide responsible, loving care at all times.

When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.

Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.

About: Since I was five,I grew up with pets and having the responsibility of taking care of their basic and emotional needs to the best of my ability. I'm currently in college and many of the classes I take are online so most of the time I am at home caring for my cat sage! I’m so glad to be able to spend much of my time at home since I get to spend a lot of time with sage! I have a pet friendly house meaning everything in my apartment is safe and secure for the fur babies to run around and play. I also have many toys and treats to offer to any cats or dogs that I do end up taking care of! Sage is also a very friendly kitty and loves spending time with other cats, so it would be like a big sleepover for sage and whichever fur baby stays over!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bristow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bristow on Rover is $32.1 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 5,028 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bristow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 pick-up to match your Bristow commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,028 sitters in Bristow, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
