Megan was very personable, responsive, & easy to trust with our babies. Came back to a house just as tidy as we left it, & all the critters were content. We really appreciated Megan's flexibility given such short notice.

Absolutely brilliant care from Jennifer. Extremely thorough, professional, and exceptionally compassionate care for my 3 dogs. She went above and beyond to make my pets (and us) feel comfortable & confident. Don’t think we could’ve asked for any better. Five Stars plus.

It’s never easy to figure out what to do with 3 dogs so my husband and I can travel together. Having Casey and her kids stop by to care for them was perfect. They got the attention they crave and were cared for like I would. My husband and I got to enjoy the holiday and now we have a sitter to call next time we go out of town! The dogs are happy and I know they enjoyed their visits and extra love.

About: I’ve taken care of a verity of pets and owned anything from fish, Reptiles, Rodents, Cats, and Dogs. I can also do additional tasks such as cleaning and plant care. I am versatile and can stay at the house or commute. I am also experienced at giving medications to animals as well. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the sitting or my experience related to pet sitting. I can let sit anytime before/after classes. I’m am currently attending Liberty University and am taking classes throughout the week. Feel free to ask any questions related to the schedule. I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).

Since I will be coming to your home, I will make sure to meet and spend time with your pet. To make sure you're pet is comfortable with me. Also, to see the energy of your pet. If your pet is on any medication, ill make sure they are given and know who their veterinarian is just in case of emergency. Then following any feeding instructions.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a  college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On     •    Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality     •    Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit     •    Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air     •    Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sweet Briar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sweet Briar. 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 Sweet Briar 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 Sweet Briar. On Rover:

  • 86% 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.

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.
