About: I’m a stay at home mom who manages our small hobby farm. I have ten years of hands-on animal care and I have been around many dogs in that time. I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.

About: I get asked to pet sit for friends and family all the time. I dont just do 10 minute check in's just to feed them and let them go potty. I play with them, spoil them with treats and loves, keep them company for a bit, all of it. I just graduated from high-school, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to spend it taking care of animals so family's dont have to worry about them while away from home. I do have a part time job, but it will be no problem to work around any schedule! I have 6 dogs, Ive been around a ton more, of all sizes and personalities. I love all dogs and I hope all dogs love me. Getting a dog to go potty or get in their crate is no problem for me, I can even teach them some helpful tricks like, sit, lay down, stay, all sorts.

About: I use to run a ranch full of all sorts of animals, and was basically the vet there as well as a horse trainer. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat . I love to see new animal friends and visit with them and see how happy they get when going for a walk or just throwing the ball. I'm athletic and go for mountain bike rides with my dogs and go on hikes as well, also am strong enough for those pups that like to pull. My favorite part of the day is being around my pets and family. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my child so it can be great to go for walks with pets and get outside. I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests . My pets get treats sometimes and outdoor play everyday as well as walks ,weather permitting of course.when it's cold outside we tend to just snuggle up on the couch next to a fire.

About: I love animals and have two dogs of my own, Honey & Daisy. Honey is a rescue Golden Retriever mix and Daisy is a lab mix. I have a house with a huge fenced in backyard. My dogs are very friendly and love to play with new dogs! I am very responsible, trustworthy and reliable. I have always grown up around dogs so I am experienced with taking care of them. I love seeing new dogs and that is what has interested me in being a dog sitter/walker. I have a special love for animals and I will treat every animal as my own and take very good care of them. I am currently available on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday during the summer while my daughter is at school. If needed for other days, my daughter (1 year old) will more than likely be with me so please let me know if that is an issue. I have a fenced in backyard, with two friendly dogs ready to make some new friends. Your furry friend will always be in good hands.

Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!

About: I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly understand their routines and needs. I carefully follow care instructions and focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy building trust and giving each pet personalized care. I love animals and taking care of loved family members. I am also just trying to get enough money to pay for the rest of my college tuition. With my cat, I feed him 1/2 of a can of soft cat food 2 times a day with a treat at the end of the night. My pickles doesn’t need much care, he is already a very independent cat. When it comes to others pets, I closely follow each owner’s instructions so their pet receives the exact care, attention, and routine they’re used to.

Regina has been incredible. As our dog’s first walker, she worked with a very anxious pup who struggled with other dogs, people, and even environmental stimuli like leaves. Since Regina began walking her, we’ve seen significant progress—our dog is now more confident, enjoys her walks, and is more comfortable sharing space with others. We truly appreciate Regina’s patience and consistency.

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walks, and any special needs. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their normal routine, while providing updates so owners feel confident and at ease.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sparta. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sparta.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparta. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
