“Kiera was so great with our pups. She kept us informed and bonded well with our elder dogs. She was very clean and went above and beyond to leave things clean when she left.”
“Nicole was very kind and responsible. She sent lots of pictures and spent plenty of time making sure my 3 month old puppy was happy and well rested. I would book her again in the future!”
“Finding someone who wants to pet sit two Great Danes is no easy task, but Elizabeth is an absolute natural! From the moment she came over for the initial meet-and-greet, she was so wonderful with them that they were genuinely upset when she left. She did an incredible job house-sitting and taking care of my giant pups in their own environment. She even went above and beyond by tolerating both of them crowding her on the bed—anyone with Danes knows they are world-class bed hogs! I could tell they were safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled the entire time. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter. In fact, I’m pretty sure my dogs are secretly hoping I travel again just so they can spend more time with her! 😊”
About: I have experience as a groomer, walker for large working breeds as well as administering medications and post surgery care. I am no stranger to bites and scratches. Pet care is my full time job alongside working as a dmv actor. My schedule is typically extremely flexible and I can work around your needs. I take pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and walks to administering medications, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or an independent cat, my goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands.
“I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
“Hailey truly went above and beyond watching my pup while we were away at the beach! Initial introduction was warm and could trust she'd be attentive and affectionate towards him. Updated me with photos and comments during our trip, and when I came back the place was as tidy as when we left it! She even made a handwritten note and Polaroid photo of my doggo which I will cherish. Very kind lady who will treat your pet great, highly recommend”
About: I've owned cats and dogs since I was a child so there are many years of experience. I believe pets are more than animals, they are family. Your pets are in good hands :) My schedule is flexible and open to long-term and short-terms care. Unfortunately, I will NOT be using my home for dog services since I have cats in my home. I also have a small home, which would not be ideal for dogs. However, I CAN do drop ins and dog walking. Due to Covid-19 I test my self regularly & the members of my home. I am also fully vaccinated for Covid-19. (Hablo Español) My schedule changes frequently & is typically flexible enough to manage additional services. Please feel free to reach out for future services or any questions! I only board cats, if the pet isn't friendly towards other cats. I separated my condo into 2 floors so theirs no conflict. I make sure they have their own food, water & Litter. I also make sure they have entertainment & a comfortable place to sleep.
“Brittany was great! She house sat for us and took great care of our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She followed all our directions, made sure our 2 dogs were well cared for and happy during our trip, and kept us well updated. Brittany can be relied upon to care for your pets for extended periods of time and we will definitely be using Brittany again in the future. Thank you Brittany!”
“France’s was wonderful! Cooper clearly enjoyed her company. She met with us before hand to meet us and Cooper, is very knowledgeable about dogs and caring for them. We were very happy she was available to sit for us. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Frances!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job. I enjoyed getting the daily updates and pictures, I can tell my pup had a great time! She also kept great care of my home! Highly recommend!”
“Abigail did a fantastic job!! She was on time, reliable, left our home in great condition, exceeded our expectations, and our fur-babies absolutely loved her! I came home briefly to grab an item, and found them all curled up on the sofa together. It was such a relief to know that my home and my animals were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again, and totally recommend her to anyone seeking quality pet care. Thank you, Abigail!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. One of my very first jobs was pet sitting, and ever since, I’ve been the go-to person for my family and friends whenever they needed someone to love and take care of their pets when they go out of town. I’ve looked after energetic puppies, gentle seniors, playful kittens, and independent cats and I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and quirks. What sets me apart is that I understand the love of Dog/Cat parent. I make sure not to just take care of their needs but I'm intentional about building a bond with them. I make sure dogs feel like part of the family and that cats feel safe, respected, and cared for on their terms. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, quiet cuddles, or giving them space when they need it, I adjust to what makes your pet happiest. I work from home and have my own pet, so caring for animals is part of my daily routine. I give them attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, and I’ll do the same for your furry friend while you’re away. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved — with plenty of playtime, walks, meals, and cuddles. I stick to routines they’re used to and adjust to their personalities, whether they need extra attention or a quiet space.
“Alyssa was great! She was super flexible with our schedule, she showed up in a timely manner, and she really cared for Lucy. She played with her, gave her treats, let her outside and have her lots of company! She was great and we are definitely rebooking!”
About: I’ve been taken care of my family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers pets for the past 8 years. I’ve had 4 different dog breeds and lots of cats i’ve rescued and taken care of until we get them a new home. I’m currently starting a new job early morning until 4pm weekdays. On the weekends my availability will be any time from 7 in the morning to 6 at night thank you. I have a fenced small backyard and dogs or cats in next door neighbors homes. While i would be able to have them in my home i do have a cat currently recovering and she doesn’t like dogs. i apologize but thank you for the understanding
“Keirsten and Zeeke hit it off immediately and it was refreshing to see them both have an amazing time while she house sat and took care of our elderly statesman. She provided constant updates, pictures, videos, and made sure to ask all the important questions to take care of our pup. Would definitely recommend.”

Gabbys great! I was kinda a nervous wreck leaving my 3 large dogs with all the things they've been through lately and pills. But the second I met her and saw her interact with them I was at ease. She knew how to deal with them, how to be confident with big dogs, and is extremely knowledgeable with animals and care. Thanks Gabby for taking care of the boys and making me feel calm and enjoy a few days away!
Elizabeth was amazing! 🤩 She took excellent care of our pup, Reggie, and our home, and sent so many great pictures and updates everyday. Reggie absolutely loved his time with her. I HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a pet sitter. SHE IS THE BEST!!
We had a wonderful experience with Samantha as our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Samantha kept the house clean and tidy, sent us regular pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. We really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bull Run
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bull Run on Rover is $49.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,916 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bull Run. 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 Bull Run 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 Bull Run 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 Bull Run 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 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.

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.
