“Nadia enjoyed her visits with Katrina! Katrina was very attentive to Nadia and spent time during each drop in visit to make sure Nadia received adequate care and attention. Katrina is gentle and her attention to detail put us at ease that our baby was being well cared for. We will definitely book with Katrina again! We highly recommend her services!”
“Ayme made our first experience with Rover a great one. She was very communicative and took great care of our cat while we were away. We loved getting pictures each day and seeing him happy in Ayme’s care. We highly recommend Ayme!”
“As always Nicole goes above and beyond to make sure my puppy is taken care of. She’s always offering to do extra things to help me out and I feel so relieved knowing that my dog is in good hands when I’m away!”
“Janet really came through for us on our two week vacation. She did an excellent job in all respects. The cat was in great shape and spirits when we returned. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12! I used to work at a small business where dogs would get dropped off while their owners are on vacation. I actively walk dogs/ pet sit in the Fairfax County area! I am currently a student at NOVA so I am very available! I work my schedule around the animal and their needs, so whatever you need I can help with! I have three dogs of my own and I love them to pieces! I enjoy playing with them in the backyard and taking them on walks, or just hanging around with them.
“Andrew was excellent with our high energy 2-year-old pup! His calming presence was the perfect match for Abe, and we had a happy dog upon returning home. Will book again!”
About: With over 75 dogs under my care, past and present, I bring unparalleled expertise and heartfelt dedication to every pet care assignment. My extensive experience spans all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and needs of dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives not just care, but genuine companionship and understanding. From fostering German Shepherds to volunteering at local shelters, I've honed my skills in nurturing pets through transitions. Each visit isn't just a task—it's an opportunity to forge a bond and tailor care to your pet's unique needs, leaving them wagging their tail with joy. I am a freelancer/contractor so I have plenty of time to fit time with your pups into my day. It's an excellent break for me and I look forward to every visit! As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.
“Trent did a great job taking care of my two cats with just a couple of days notice. He was very easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and is obviously a pet lover. Would definitely work with him again.”

“Melissa has provided outstanding care to our miniature dachshund Charlie. After my initial outreach to Melissa, her communication was excellent and we could tell immediately that Charlie would be comfortable with her even though he is sometimes apprehensive about people he hasn’t met. For over a month, Melissa has provided reliable daily care for Charlie which has given our family peace of mind during a time of transition. With both my wife and then me being off work for almost a year on parental leave, we were concerned Charlie would be spiteful of our return to both working. Melissa’s excellent care, attention to Charlie and reliability clearly helped Charlie settle into our new routine. We give Melissa our highest recommendation and are grateful for her care!”
“Shelby did a wonderful job sitting for my two cats while I was out of town! She ensured they were fed, watered and overall well. She played with them and hung out with them to give them some companionship while I was away. Her communication and follow up is excellent. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a cat sitter!”
“Bianca and Charles were amazing pet sitters, and took great care of my cat. They provided great communication and were incredibly flexible. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for someone to take care of your furry loved ones! 🐱”
“Marjorie was so easy and helpful to work with! We appreciated all of the photos and updates on our kitty as well as being able to accommodate my last minute change of dates! Thank you so much Marjorie! We’ll be booking again in the future. :)”
“Wow! Alejandra went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls! And for keeping up with my super long messages of instructions haha. Will definitely book again in the future :)”
About: I’ve worked at a doggie day care for 3 years. This included walking, bathing, playing and watching. I have 3 family dogs that I help take care of with one of them going to college with me. I know how to engage with dogs and keep them happy. I am working part time so I’ll have plenty of time! I can walk dogs anytime in the morning before 11:30 am! I make it a priority to stick with this schedule. I make sure I am watching your dog at all time. I have worked with all types of dogs and know how to work with almost all! I make sure I introduce myself!

Josh was great! He was able to keep my cat Tommy well fed and entertained on a consistent basis while I was away. I appreciate his willingness to take care of him for almost a months I would definitely recommend him and hope to book him again in the future.
Ni did a great job watching our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was very diligent about providing many pictures daily showing her completing each activity that we asked her to do, much more so than other cat sitters we have used in the past. Our cat is older and requires some specialized care, including a couple medications and cleaning up frequent messes she makes, having more difficulty than younger cats with her daily activities. Ni did everything she needed too well and diligently. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.
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!
Michael did a great job looking after our dogs and cats. We were gone for two weeks and he was very reliable and responsive the whole time. We were confident everyone was very well taken care of and didn’t have to worry about them while we were away. We will definitely ask Michael to watch everyone again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bristow on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,754 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
