“Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up in a pet loving home, where at any given time we had at least two cats and one dog living under our roof. As young as 12 years old, I was entrusted by neighbors to pet sit, and I took part in caring for and training my own family pets. I now have 4 cats and a 2 dogs of my own, and I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would for my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer, however my schedule is very unstructured, so it changes from week to week. Usually however, I’m only working 2-3 days a week, which leaves my schedule wide open to spend my days with your fur babies! I am unable to care for any additional animals in my own home, however I would be more than happy to watch your babies in your home! I would ensure your home was treated with respect and would do my part in keeping it clean. I’d be able to crate your pups if desired, as well as clean litter boxes, as well as any other care-taking tasks required.
“We are so excited to have Janna be part of our sweet girls, (Prue and Piper), life. We had such a wonderful meet and greet and it was clear that Janna made our anxious girls feel at ease. I know they are in amazing hands.”
About: Ive been a zookeeper taking care of exotic animal species since 2008 in various settings and animal species. From babies to seniors I know how individualized care and attention can be. I have also volunteered and worked at horse stables and animal sanctuaries. I'd your trying to find someone that can and likes taking care of animals, I'm your gal! Ive also petsat for various friends and family since they knew how well I am able to do such jobs, and I do them well with compassion and care. Plus, its fun! I work a full time job and can be available for afternoon services and overnight stays as well. While taking care of your furry friend I will be dedicated and present in the moment to make sure everything needed and requested gets done. I believe that pets are family members and deserve the attention and love anyone else would recieve. I provide objective observation and practical skills needed to cater for your pet.
“We had a fantastic experience with Hannah! She was incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to any questions or updates. When we decided to extend our trip by an extra night, she was more than willing to go above and beyond to accommodate the change, which gave us great peace of mind. Super punctual and reliable, we knew our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“I had previously booked Yiyi for cat visits before and she was super great this time around too! She writes detailed reports and provides excellent care and attention for my cat Joyce. She also takes great plentiful photos.”
About: I have been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I have always loved animals with my whole heart. My family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, walk, and bathe their pets while they are away. I am especially praised for the amount of time I spend hanging out with the pets. I like I hang out with them as much as I can and get in all the cuddles so they know they are safe with me and feel all of my love while their owners are away! This works with my schedules perfectly! I typically work 8 hour days, so mid day check ins, and evening care work perfectly for me since I am available to stay at the pets house with them! I spend a lot of time with the animals when I am there. I always allow cuddles and honestly it is my favorite part of the job. Coming back to a pet that is excited to see you is the best feeling in the world. I make sure the dogs get plenty of time outside, and long walks if the weather permits. I love playing with the animals. Cats or dogs! I love seeing the pets be comfortable with me and building that bond between the animals and myself!
“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I’ve had previous pet dogs in the past, so I’m knowledgeable on their care and can customize it to the needs of each dog/cat! I’ve also worked with puppies and have helped train them. I’m currently working part time and only have school two days a week so my availability is pretty flexible! I can help Mondays and Wednesdays 6 am-12 pm and 4 pm+. I’m available other days and times too just ask me and I’ll let you know what works! I have previous experience in crate training and keeping pets safe from their environment. I make sure to always keep an eye on them and not step away unless absolutely necessary. I also send constant updates, which include photos and videos, several times a day!
“Minnie came to our rescue because we had a last minute cancellation. We didn't even get a chance to do a meet and greet. Minnie was able to help us with very short notice more importantly, she understood what own need was and went above and beyond what was asked. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us with our boy!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.
About: Since a young age, I had always been the go to person for my friends, family, and often times neighbors as well for pet-sitting. From care-taking for a friends tortoise for over 8 years, to having a rabbit, birds, dogs, and more myself, leads me to have such a deep rooted passion and interest for care-taking, spending time, and bonding with all ranges of sizes and ages of pets! As of right now, I am dedicated to being available as often and frequent as possible for pet-sitting, walking, and/or care taking. My current schedule outside of these things are very flexible for now, so if ever needed, please send a direct message and we can work things out! I have a lot of previous experience in caring for all kinds of animals with a ranging variety of needs, whether a senior animal who needs more attention, carefulness, and patience; or a small puppy who is exploding with energy and needs to direct it elsewhere! Any notes, tips, and personal preferences are always appreciated as well when it comes to your pet and how they need to be cared for. (:
About: My Fiance and I have 3 dogs of our own and work from home. We have a 0.5 acre fenced in yard, take them for walks and go to the dog park, and wouldn't mind giving the extra care any owner would want. We have a 1 Story Rancher with a fenced in yard and multiple rooms for pups to play! We both work from home and spend most of our time at home now. We have no issue with boarding for weekends and during the week as well. I live with my dogs and gf and we take the dogs for walks morning, afternoon, night, and also open the backyard for play time! Our schedule also has meals twice a day, but can accommodate as well. All dogs are welcome, that welcome other dogs to them. If needed we have several rooms for separation, and feed separately as well. The backyard is also fenced in for all dogs to be in.
About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m dependable and attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m also comfortable providing extra attention to pets who may need a little more patience, including puppies, seniors, or pets who are shy or adjusting to a new environment. I’m available for pet care before 9 AM and after 6 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends, so I can provide plenty of time for quality care! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure while they’re away.
About: I have 5 years of experience in caring for guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs as well as cats. I am familiar with feeding schedules and cleanup. I’m currently home for the summer from college so i’ll have all day to care for your furry friends! I’m available weekdays starting at 8am-8pm & am also available for overnight care. My weekends are completely free too. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet by following their routine closely ensuring their fed, safe, and given plenty of affection. I also monitor their behavior and well being.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bull Run
Carolina took great care of my two cats while we were away for 9 days! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure they were happy and well taken care of. She was on time every day and kept me updated with pictures and messages. I would definitely recommend Carolina and would love to have her watch our cats again!
Stephanie was great! She made sure our cat, Ivy, was well taken care of when we were gone and even went the extra mile to water our plants. Ivy is a bit shy with strangers and she seemed to really like Stephanie. I appreciated all of the photos and updates! We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again when we plan our next trip.
Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bull Run is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. 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 13,987 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bull Run. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Bull Run. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
