Megan was great! My dog enjoyed his time with her. She took him for walks and played with him. I could tell he was taken care of when we got home.

My dogs absolutely adore Casey and her children. She is so patient and does such a great job with all my furbabies. Even the most hardheaded ones. She always updates me and is always just a text away if I need anything while I’m gone. We will continue to book with her!!!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals—I truly love being around them and caring for their unique needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with puppies, and gentle with senior pets, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I have a very flexible routine as I am currently enrolled in online classes and work for myself. I am able to move around my schooling and work to whenever fits. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Since I come to your home or take your pets out for walks and playtime, I make sure they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, play, or cuddle time—so your pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. I also pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure they’re always safe and happy.

About: Here's a client-focused response designed to stand out: As a dedicated pet and house sitter, I provide more than just basic care—I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment while giving owners complete peace of mind. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who require extra patience and attention. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs. In addition to pet care, I offer reliable house-sitting services such as mail collection, plant watering, package retrieval, and home security checks. What sets me apart is my dependability, attention to detail, and commitment to regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets and home are safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I am a teacher that has pet sit off and on for years. Summer is wide open for your needs! When school's in, weekends, evenings, and holidays are all available! This response highlights your family environment while emphasizing safety and trust: Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving family environment with a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and explore under supervision. We are a pet-loving household with two friendly family dogs and family cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions, monitoring interactions, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routines to reduce stress and help them feel at ease while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship, I give each pet personalized attention based on their individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets and home are receiving reliable, attentive care. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing experience that allows pets to stay happy and owners to enjoy complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

Wonderful! Reese is a great pet sitter. She touched base and kept me in the loop with my two cats and how they were doing each day with several pics. She even got my timid cat out to play each day and this is extraordinary. Can’t recommend enough!

About: I worked for an Animal Hospital for 4 years and am familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have dealt with some of the happiest and most anxious dogs and cats so I am pretty comfortable with anything. Will also give medication if your pet requires it. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very high energy, so I am used to that as well. I also deal with puppies and elderly dogs everyday so age is no issue. I don't mind any breeds! Small caged animals, fish, or some outside animals are no problem either. I hope you will choose me to check on your babies while you may be working or out of town for a while! Thank you so much guys! It will definitely depend on day and time but I am pretty flexible! I don't work quite as much as I used to but I do still work full time. I go by and do what I am told by the pet owner to keep the babies in routine as much as possible so they do not become stressed but with that being said I also am not able to stay all day or neccesarily the exact times you might due to also having a work schedule to abide by.

Alexis was very accommodating, fantastic overall! I felt comfortable right away when I met her and knew my three cats would be having a good time with her. I felt very comfortable leaving town, and having her in my home. She’s very proactive, and I knew anything that went awry or if she had questions she would contact me.

I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day.

About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sweet Briar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sweet Briar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sweet Briar. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
