“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I work for the Seeing Eye as a Dog Handler, as well as have work as a lodging worker at Morris Animal Inn.

I work a full time job Friday-Tuesday from 6:30am to 3:30am. I have an hour lunch break starting at 12. I am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pet is getting plenty of attention. I am comfortable with outdoor or indoor play and walks. Keeping pets safe is my priority to ensure they have the best time! I’ve had experience with dogs who pull and don’t.

“David did a great job caring for Audrey, my indoor/outdoor cat, keeping to a consistent routine, spending time with Audrey who does not easily warm up to new people but definitely trusted David. It was a comfort knowing someone would be checking on Audrey every morning. I had several deliveries and David brought the packages inside for me. I appreciated the daily photos of Audrey as well.”

About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.

About: I am the person who finds the animal at the party and sits with them all night. I have a lot of experience with all animals from having my own to staying with others for a week. I can tell the signs of an upset animal and the last thing I would do is upset them more. I understand that animals are our babies and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am open to all sizes of any animal.. the bigger the better! I currently have 3 dogs at home which range from 17 lbs - 100 lbs and not to brag but I can walk all 3 of them at the same time! Lol. I just want you to be able to go where you need to and not have to worry if your furry friend is safe because I got you!! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time where I can come hang out with your babies! I am a college student currently working as an LPN. I have time before class/work, I can come on my lunch, after class/work, and weekends are free. I am pretty open, so please just ask and I would be happy to fit your furry friend into my schedule! I will of course follow the rules set for me. I am open to going for a long walk, playing in the yard, snuggling, and honestly anything your baby needs. I am also very open to taking your pup somewhere if they need. For example, if you can’t get off work I am happy to bring your pet to the vet or do drop off/pick up at daycare. This would totally be up to you though!!

About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an animal lover who would love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱🐓🐐🐾 I’m currently a college student and pet care taking fits perfectly into my schedule.

About: I've been around cats and dogs since I was a kid, and right now, I've got my own cat and a cute rabbit. Honestly, animals are my life – I adore them. Whenever my friends need a hand with dog-sitting, I'm the go-to person. Making sure these furballs are happy and safe is like a hobby to me. So, I'm super excited to bring my pet care vibes to Rover and give every pet the TLC they deserve. 🐾 I currently work from home full time and I can usually drop in between meetings. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are my busiest work days so it may be harder to get there in the afternoon. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety by pet-proofing my space and maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment. I build trust through regular interaction, playtime, and clear communication with pet owners. In a client's home, I adapt to the pet's routine and surroundings, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and adherence to their schedule. Trust is established by following care instructions, engaging in activities the pet enjoys, and providing consistent updates to the owner. My goal is to create a secure and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs, that promotes the well-being of the pets and peace of mind for their owners.

About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.

“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”

“I cannot say enough good things about the experience of working with Aiste, Chris and Lincoln. Best possible solution for a doting cat Mom who has a hard time leaving her only young cat for a few days of desperately needed vacation time. The humans (Aiste and Chris) are both warm, welcoming and accommodating - they sent nice updates with photos that put my mind at ease day after day so I could really unwind. They were happy to follow my lead and met me where I was at with communication, and first longer time away jitters. Lincoln the wonder pup (such a love!!!) - he and my JJ had an amazing time together! My kitty loves people and pups and other cats too. Lincoln and he were an amazing match. They made for great companions and I got such a kick out of seeing them getting to know each other and bond. Warmed my heart and allowed me to relax knowing that JJ was on his own holiday with this great new friend! It was such a relief to have lots of companionship from all 3 (2 people + 1 pup) and updates to know all was going well. I was able to truly enjoy some time away! Great great great experience with this amazing family of care takers!! 🫶🏼❤️😊😻 Looking forward to working with them again! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sparta is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $29 per visit. 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 458 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.

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.
