“Hannah was such a great sitter. She sends updates every day and really took the stress out of our trip. She’s thoughtful and courteous and made sure to take the time to meet our girl before the sit began. We’ll certainly be booking her again!”

“My pups loved having Megan visit! Her passion for taking care of animals showed in my pups behavior when I came home. Most importantly she tuckered my hyper dog with lots of play time. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I’m normally picky about who I allow in my home but Megan followed all my requests for entering and leaving my pups for the day. I will gladly have her back to check in on my pups in the future or even over night stays. I trust and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Kelly was absolutely amazing! I have a senior dog who requires a lot of attention and is definitely very spoiled, and she fit right in and took exceptional care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated daily and sent pictures, which truly brought me comfort while I was away. Not only did she care for my dog, but she also looked after my parrot and my home. She went above and beyond bringing in the mail, taking care of the pool, and handling every detail I asked of her without hesitation. Kelly is reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Hailey did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups! We experienced some last minute travel changes, and she was flexible and accommodating prior to arrival as we tried to navigate that. While we were away, we received updates and photos to know they were doing well. And when we returned, everything was in perfect order! We are very grateful for her and will be rebooking in the future!”


“Rachel is amazing! She took care of every need our dogs had, gave updates, sent pictures and helped so much! I never questioned if my dogs were in good hands and we will definitely reach out in the future!!”

About: My name is Lydia and I provide boarding, drop-ins, walks, and doggy daycare in a safe, loving, home-style environment where your dog will be treated like family. I’m home full time, so pets are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, supervision, cuddles, outdoor time, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, along with a separate dog room for a calm and comfortable space to relax. I also have two large kennels available in our air-conditioned garage for dogs who prefer more space or a quieter setup. I love dogs of all ages and have experience caring for playful puppies, including potty training and routines, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, gentle care, or more frequent potty breaks. While I’m newer to Rover and have only had a handful of clients here so far, I’ve built a strong reputation on Wag with a 5-star rating, 85 reviews, 91 completed services, and many repeat clients. My goal is always to make pet parents feel comfortable and confident knowing their dog is safe, happy, and loved while they’re away! I am very flexible with my schedule and always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is, and keeping their usual schedule helps reduce stress and makes them feel more comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, crate routines, or bedtime habits, I will do my best to match what they’re used to at home. Since I am an online college student and stay at home mom to my toddler and home full-time, I’m able to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, by providing frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor play, and I always supervise pets while they’re outside. Inside, I make sure all pets have a comfortable space to rest and adjust at their own pace. I can separate dogs if needed and always pay close attention to their behavior to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. I am very attentive and experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels—from young puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I also have experience handling feeding routines, administering medications with clear instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will respect your space and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet on their normal routine. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Jennifer took great care of my dog and 2 cats, my house and plants. My critters were happy and my house was clean and neat. She was also flexible when my plans slightly changed. I highly recommend her.”

“Tyler was incredible! He was so easy to work with and our dog Bailey loved him. We received constant updates and knew she was in great hands. We will definitely rebook. Thank you Tyler!”

“Memphis did a fantastic job taking care of my girls, Storm and Callie, and my place while I was out of state for almost a week. She went above and beyond with her care of my pets and communication with me. I highly recommend her for the care of your fuzzy ones.”

“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”

“Bailey was absolutely fantastic! She came to our rescue at the last minute and took great care of our babies. We were in such a rush, and I don't think I prepared her as well as I should have, but she handled everything like a pro. We truly appreciated her help. Thank you so much, Bailey!”

“Brian is such a thoughtful and caring dog sitter. He continuously kept me updated on how my pups were doing during the trip and I came home to a clean home and happy dogs. He even was able to watch my dogs last minute due to another sitter cancelling last minute.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Briar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Briar on Rover is $39.76 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,247 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Briar. 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 Briar 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 Briar 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 Briar 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.
