“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“Tammi and her family were wonderful with my little girl Hazel. This was my first time using Rover and first time ever being away from Hazel. I was worried about being away from her, but she absolutely loved her time at Tammi’s. It was like she had her own little vacation. I received updates from Tammi on how Hazel was doing which was great. I think Hazel misses all of the other dogs she got to run around and play with. I can’t recommend Tammi enough and would not hesitate leaving Hazel in her care in the future.”
“Amanda and her family did a great job taking care of my dog -Sam. Sam is a 4 months puppy. He needs a lot of attention and has lots of energy. Amanda’s very patient to take care of him, and sent me pictures. Sam had a great time in Amanda’s place while I was out of the town, played a lot with Tucker and Maya. I’ll definitely return if I need a sitter in the future.”
“Patricia loves your pets like they’re her own. Always so happy with the care she provides and it allows us to have peace of mind and be able to enjoy our time away from home. Fortunate to have found her!”
“Rebecca took great care of my dogs! Her home was beautiful and perfect for my two fur babies! I felt so at ease with Rebecca’s communication about the dogs. She sent lots of pictures of them having a great time and perfectly happy. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a great environment and experience for your dogs! Will book again!!!”
“Katie is attentive, flexible, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. She accepted my booking on short notice during the holidays and provided daily updates throughout the stay. This was the second time my dogs have stayed with her, and it definitely won’t be the last. Highly recommend!”
“Dana & Jason were wonderful! They were communicative, sending daily photos and updates. Our puppy loved staying with them and they are very professional. We highly recommend using them!”
“Alfie is a happy boy after staying with Rachel. We appreciate all of her communication, even when our pup is doing embarrassing things. We love seeing him hog their bed, going swimming, and playing fetch with all the pictures Rachel provides us. We can tell he is well tuckered out, once we’re all back together as a family. Thank you Rachel for caring for animals the way you do.”
“Very nice and responded back very quickly to my text messages! Sent pictures of my fur baby to let me know she was ok. We would definitely use Diane again! Thank you”
“Jamie was great! Very responsive at giving updates and videos while we were away. Each time both dogs seemed very happy and enjoying the extra space they had to run around in. We will definitely use her in the future.”

“Deana was wonderful. Louie liked Deana and family so much he hesitated when it was time to come home. lol! Deana gave updates, pictures, and videos of Louie throughout his stay and treated him like he was part of the family. Louie was sick prior to his stay and they closely monitored his health.”
About: Hello! My name is Conner and I am so excited about this opportunity! I don’t have any dogs that live with me but my parents have two dogs of my own, a standard poodle and a West Highland Terrior. I stop by a couple times per week at their house to see how they are doing. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have housesitted and dog sitted for weeks at a time for friends and family. I have walked dogs, made pickups and drop offs, etc. I am a dependable and responsible individual who wants to keep the pets safe! That’s my main priority. At the end of the day, I want the owner and pet to both have had awesome experiences. I’m hoping that I am able to care for your pet soon! If you would like more information, please reach out! Thank you so so much!
“I have been using Rover for many years and this was by far my best experience. Rachel sent daily messages along with pictures of our big guy Tyson. He felt a lot of love and care with her and her two dogs. I will definitely use her again.”
“Erica went above and beyond to help keep my sweet boy comfy while I was out of town. She was very welcoming, sent daily updates and communicative. I felt very comfortable having him stay with her and would absolutely trust her to watch him again. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Maddie was so great! I needed someone last minute and she was quick to respond and so nice. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I got regular pictures and updates, and though I was worried my dog would be anxious it was clear she was having a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with Maddie again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 541 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Sparta can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sparta home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sparta.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparta. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Sparta sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
