“Dan and Kelly were amazing with our two dogs!! This is our first time using Rover and also our first time leaving our pups with someone who wasn’t our family, they are 8 & 9. Though we were fairly short notice, Dan helped walk us through the Rover process, allowed us to do a meet and greet ahead of time, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Not knowing how our dogs would do as a first time away from us with non-family, there was a lot of anxiety on our side and it all was put to rest with videos and pictures of our pups having a great time there! There’s no doubt our dogs have some quirks but Dan and Kelly took amazing care of them and made them/us feel very welcome! Their house is very pet friendly with the toys, beds, and large fenced in backyard. So grateful to have found them, and strongly recommend them for your furry family members!”

“We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Chesney was in good hands. The huge backyard was exactly what we hoped for and knowing Chesney would be safe and able to zoom around made for a perfect fit. Chad was very flexible and responsive. His sweet Lucy was welcoming towards Chesney too.”

“Toby, my dearest little 8lb. Cheweenie fur baby does wonderfully with Pam and her small fur baby crew! I am so grateful to have Pam and her fur family to care for Toby. He has a blast. Pam always goes above and beyond for Toby. Moreso, Pam is very intuitive and provides for Toby his likes and preferences such as his favorite sunspot, placed bed in front of heater vent, food preferences. Huge she let's him sleep with her at night as that is what he is used to with me. Upon picking Toby up, although he is always happy to see me I can very much see he has bonded with Pam and her sweet pups and cats, making his stay very nice and positive experience. Pam and her fur babies have become like extended family as Auntie Pam and his fur cousins ❤️”

She also seems to have a deep love and respect for animals, which I appreciate so much! When I was away, she provided plenty of updates, and her family seemed to dote on Murphy. Murph went on many walks, played outside, and got lots of pets. I hope to book with Sherri again in the future!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life but I also currently have a leopard gecko. I have a history of also having fish and even Axolotls! I do work but mainly from home and with flexible hours. Caring for my pet is a part of my day to day life and caring for yours as well would be a pleasure! My dog sleeps in bed with me, goes outside in my fenced in yard, enjoys tons of play time and 2 walks per day in my neighborhood.

About: I’m 24 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life! I have a 5-year-old St. Bernard/Poodle mix named Grover, who is friendly, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family—with lots of attention, love, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work a full-time 8–5 job, but I have a flexible hybrid schedule! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m home with your pets for most of the day on those days. I’m typically in the office Tuesday and Friday and am usually gone from around 7:30 AM–5:30 PM. Outside of work hours, I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention! For overnight stays, I’m happy to make sure your pets are comfortable and have everything they need while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries—whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to play or a couch potato who prefers to cuddle! When pets stay in my home, they’ll have access to a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and lots of love and attention. My dog Grover is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sparta is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $62 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 473 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:

  • 89% 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 MI 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.
