“Amazing communication and very accommodating ! Very kind and loving to my baby, Mocha. Shared lots of pics and videos and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was in great hands! Thank you so much !”
“Layla was in great hands with Livia! She sent us photos throughout and took Layla on plenty of walks. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup and a house left in perfect condition—exactly as we’d left it. Livia is trustworthy, kind, conscientious, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Kathrine was wonderful with our 3 fur kiddos! She sent photos and 2-3 updates per day. We are very happy with her overnight sitter option and will certainly hire her again.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my two small dogs. I came home to the house in order and happy dogs. I like having someone stay with them. They just seem to do better with their routine not interrupted. I will be booking Sarah again soon. Thank you!”
“Amie was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, responsive, and timely in her communication, and provided wonderful daily updates. She also takes the best pictures! Murphy is typically shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but from the moment she met Amie, she seemed comfortable around her and even flopped over for her! That comfort only seemed to grow throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and content cat and would happily book with Amie again!”
“Kathleen was absolutely amazing with our pup! She made sure to give me updates daily and made sure our pup was well taken care of! Can’t wait to book with her again in the future! 😁”
“Seth was fantastic with our dog, Nash. He was punctual, communicated with us as we arranged the house sitting, and truly went the extra mile. He spent extra time helping Nash calm down for bed and sent us a great photo update. When we got home, Nash was relaxed and happy. We will book with Seth again!”
“Tara was wonderful! She went at Kevin's pace & established trust with him over the course of the days. I got lots of pictures & replies when I reached out to see how he was doing. The house was left exactly as it was when she arrived. We will absolutely have Tara watch our pup again.”
“Clayton helped make our trip nice and relaxing. Knowing our dogs was happy and in good hands made for a great Rover experience. He updated me with photos and daily status check-ins. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
“We recently booked Alexis for pet sitting for the first time, and had a great experience. At the meet-and-greet, she was patient and understanding while we did exercises prescribed by our dog’s personal trainer to properly introduce him to guests in the house, as he is initially very fearful of new people. I could tell by the way Alexis spoke about her own pets and past client pets, that she is very patient and accommodating in order to cater to each individual pet. She followed our care guide to a tee and sent nice pictures and updates of our dog and 2 cats. We felt very comfortable that our pets were being well taken care of. A bonus was, she stayed to clean, running the dishwasher and taking out the trash before departing so we came home to a clean house. We are glad to have found Alexis and certainly will request her for future pet sitting needs.”
About: I love all types of animals, especially dogs. I have one senior dog, he is a shih poo. My junior year in high school I took a "Technical Animal Science" class learn about a great amount of animals. That same year I worked at an animal hospital. After high school I worked with Fetch! Pet care for a year as well. I have been working from home for about 4 years now. I have a lot of extra time in my hands so I would be able to do mid day, morning check ins/ dog walking and cat sitting. I used to work for Fetch! Pet care after high school. I worked for that company for about a year and half. I provided cat sitting & dog walking. I also worked for an animal hospital in high school for a year.
“We booked Joshua pretty last minute to house/dog sit for us over Christmas week, and we could not have asked for a better experience. He took exceptional care of our dog, Haru... sending tons of photos and updates throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Haru was truly loved and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. He vacuumed, stripped the bed, and cleaned the counters -- such a thoughtful and appreciated touch after traveling. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your dog (and your home) with care, attention, and kindness.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tatiana. We have an anxious, noise sensitive doggo and she is very high maintenance to take care of (even for us) in this storm prone DC summer. Not only did Tatiana go along with all the crazy care instructions we left her, she showed our dog love and care that most dogs don’t get from their owners. We have never had such a carefree vacation and peace of mind that no matter what, Kesu is taken care of and this is a true gift. Thank you, Tatiana!”
“Phuong did a really great job taking care of our two pups while we were gone, and we really appreciated the updates and pictures of our dogs enjoying their time. We would 100% use her in the future - thanks so much!!!”
About: I am a champion for every animal in my life. I am a proud mama and grandmama for my 2 cats and their kittens. I also have experience taking care of other types of pets, including elderly dogs that required more care and attention. Working in the social media and music world, I have the flexibility to change my daily and weekly schedule as needed for myself and clients. I built trust with my clients by being myself, honest, and kind. This allowed me to care for their pets in their homes, and also overnight as needed.
“I know my dogs are cared for when Sierra watches them! My dog had recently been neutered and I trusted she could give him his meds and keep an eye on him while I was away for the weekend.”
About: What sets me apart is the personal connections I build with both pets and their owners. With two years of dog-walking and pet-care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, from small and medium-sized pups to larger breeds. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for Poodles, Labs, Bichons, and many other wonderful dogs! I’ve also maintained consistent, long-term relationships with clients, including families I’ve worked with regularly for two years. I believe every dog deserves individualized attention, patience, and plenty of love. I’m committed to making every walk safe, enjoyable, and something your pup looks forward to! 🐶❤️ My schedule is fairly flexible since I work in the hospitality industry, where hours can vary from week to week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate regular pet-care needs and build consistent relationships with both pets and their owners. As long as I have at least one week’s notice of the dates and times needed, I can plan my work schedule accordingly to ensure I’m available and reliable. I value consistency and communication and want to make pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your furry family members! I have more experience caring for pets in their own homes, which is actually my preferred approach! I believe pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or their usual daily habits. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible by keeping disruptions to a minimum while making sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for.

We truly cannot recommend Davis highly enough! This was our first time using him, and we were trusting him with both our home and our senior dog, Millie, for eight days while we traveled internationally for our wedding. With all our friends and family traveling with us, we had no backup if anything went wrong. We couldn’t have been in better hands. From the beginning, Davis was incredibly communicative and reassuring, especially after our original sitter canceled. Throughout our trip, he provided daily updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. He also took excellent care of our home. What really sets Davis apart is his veterinary background. Millie is a geriatric dog with ongoing health issues, and having someone who had just completed veterinary school caring for her was invaluable. Not only did he provide exceptional care, but he also offered thoughtful recommendations for her continued care after we returned. Davis exceeded every expectation. Finding someone this trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely caring almost feels too good to be true. We would trust him again without hesitation and cannot imagine a better dog or house sitter!
We’ve had several dog walkers over the years and Amie absolutely blew them out of the water! We are not people who trust easily, especially when it comes to our dogs and our home, but Amie earned our trust incredibly quickly. Her communication was exceptional. She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day with thoughtful, detailed messages and fantastic pictures. We never had to wonder how the dogs were doing or what was going on. She was proactive, transparent, and genuinely attentive. What impressed us just as much was the care and respect she showed our home. Everything was exactly as we left it, as though no one had even been there. And most importantly, our dogs were incredibly happy and clearly well cared for. Amie went above and beyond in every way. Finding someone you can trust with both your home and your dogs is no small task - Amie gave us that peace of mind. She has set an incredibly high bar and we cannot recommend her enough!
David did an outstanding job watching Bentley and Norman while we were away for a few days. He stayed at our house, took wonderful care of the dogs, and kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that both dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We appreciated his attentiveness, reliability, and communication. We would absolutely recommend David and look forward to having him watch Bentley and Norman again!
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jena! She cared for our senior dog, Tyson, and our mischievous kitty, Jarvy, during the second half of our honeymoon, and we are so incredibly grateful for her. Tyson is at a stage in his life where he requires a tremendous amount of patience, grace, and hands-on care, and Jena handled everything with such kindness, compassion, and attention to detail. From helping him with his mobility struggles and daily routines to making sure he was comfortable, loved on, and even getting some time to enjoy the sunshine, she truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly communicative, sent us updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions, and genuinely cared about making sure Tyson was as comfortable and happy as possible. She also took wonderful care of Jarvy and his feisty little personality! On top of all that, she went out of her way to clean up, wash linens, and have everything ready for us when we returned from a long international trip. Leaving our sweet senior boy behind is never easy, especially for such an extended period, but knowing he and Jarvy were in such capable and caring hands meant the world to us. Jena's patience, thoughtfulness, and dedication did not go unnoticed. We cannot thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like their own!
I truly cannot recommend Kelley enough! She took such amazing care of our senior boy, Tyson, while we were away for our wedding and part of our honeymoon. Tyson requires a lot of extra patience, grace, and attention at this stage in his life, and she handled all of his needs with so much love and compassion. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind during such an important time in our lives. On top of everything, she navigated an unexpected plumbing emergency at our house without hesitation and handled it like a total pro! She truly went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the wonderful care she gave Tyson. We couldn't have asked for anyone better and would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
Rei did a great job with our German Shepherd McKinley. She stayed at our house with the dog for about 5 days and sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Our pup is getting older and takes a couple of medications and supplements, which Rei very carefully administered. Our dog was super calm and happy when we got home and the house was in great shape-- Rei had totally cleaned up after herself. We would happily book her again in the future!
Izzy took great care of my cat Amara for one full month while I was away. He's clearly a genuine cat lover — he even hoped she'd end up sleeping on his bed, and she eventually did, which says a lot about how comfortable she was with him. Communication was good: he sent regular photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also attentive to her wellbeing — he noticed and flagged it when she wasn't eating or drinking as much as usual, which I really appreciated. He left the house clean and even left a few groceries, which was a nice touch. Overall, nothing to worry about at all: my cat was in good hands, and I came home to a happy cat and a tidy home. Thanks again Izzy
Trisha took care of our 3 pups while we were away and did a great job! They got playtime and/or walks everyday. She was able to walk our big guy @120lbs and knew when it was too hot for our Frenchies to go out on a walk. She seemed to have no problem juggling the different needs of the pups. I got daily reports with pictures which gave me a lot of assurance I was leaving my dogs in good hands!
She was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with my dog, and he absolutely loved her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bristow is $74 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $100 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,663 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bristow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bristow walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bristow maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bristow. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
