“Mafe has been a blessing for my senior dog! Due to work i had to request 2 extra drop in visits and thankfully she was able to take care of my sweet baby. Its the little things that I am so appreciative of, I noticed she fluffed up his favorite blanket and left his stuffed bunny on his bed, she gives him his medication and even adds ice to his water bowl just how he loves it. She offered to take my trash bin to the curb as she noticed others were out in the neighborhood and even brought it back to the house. Exceptional care for my dog and Mafe has a gift for anticipating unmet needs. She gives my pup a lot of positive attention during her visits and he is so happy to see her based on the photos she sends. Appreciate you helping me in a tight situation with my work schedule! Thank you for keeping my little one happy, safe and secure.”
“Steve is kind, reliable and is absolutely amazing with our pups. He goes above and beyond and I never have to worry when we have him on the schedule. We have had several dog walkers and he is by far the absolute best.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
“Kristen took care of our babies while we were out of the country, she communicated very well throughout and was punctual. Everything I asked of her she did perfectly! She kept our cats fed and happy while we were gone, will definitely book her again!”

About: I personally have 3 dogs, 1 husky, 1 pittbull, and 1 chihuahua. I have had dogs growing up and have often dog sat for family and friends. I am a responsible 18 year old who just graduated from early college and am looking for jobs to keep me busy this summer. I am currently also working part-time so if I am given enough notice I work around my schedule to pet or house sit any day and time. When caring for clients animals I tend to give them a lot of attention and follow any rules given regarding feeding and/or house rules. When house sitting I tend to not mess with owners things and just keep to one space.

About: Hello! My name is Neffy and I am 27 years old. I’ve been a vet tech/receptionist since 2021 and previously have experience working with animals in the humane society in Greenville. I love connecting with and providing the best service to not only you but your fur babies as well! I have loved animals of every sort my whole life and would love to meet and care for your baby as much as I care for mine! I would love it if you gave me the opportunity to care for your pet to brighten their day as well as yours! I am currently very flexible and have more time to provide enrichment and safe outdoor activities. This means I can be available during the day when your baby needs me most! I like to make sure the fur babies are comfortable wherever they may be. I am quick to locate any hazards that could cause injury and am mindful of what may upset or give them a scare.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, raised puppies and nursed elderly dogs! Definitely a passion of mine. I’ve trained a few rescues as well. I work part time so I’m home quite often, other than that I spend my free time hiking or taking walks with my own pup Willow. Open spaced home, great walking neighborhood with dog park only .10 mile away. Willow I’ve raised since a puppy, she’s a 6 year old lab who is insanely affectionate and energetic, and beyond sweet. She does get overly excited meeting new dogs, and loves making new friends! It’s different for each sitting and depends on what each owner is looking for. I will not take on opportunities that I can’t be fully invested and present for. Plenty of free time to accommodate your pups needs! Communication with other owners is vital from both ends to be sure everyone is taken care of and happy.
About: I have had my doggy since I was 17! She has been with me through a lot! I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones and bonding with them! Sometimes I have a really flexible schedule and can work with whatever your schedule needs may be. My schedule can change from week to week. So it’s best to reach out. I typically am free most days during the day. Late nights can be arranged. Child free home. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. The cat will be separate from other animals. She likes to stay in her space.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Sparta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 367 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Sparta. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
