“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

About: My service is a walk in the park. Please give me a 2 week notice.What sets me apart is from others, is that I'll care for all kinds of animals. I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs from small to big and from young to senior. I grew up with Dobermans and love the breed. I also have experience providing dogs medication. I am here to provide your pet the best service I can offer and anything they need (walk, bath, play catch or just sit a cuddle) when you are not home. I will also take care of your small animals too: Cats, Hamsters,Fish,Lizards and hedgehogs. I also have experience with farm animals: Goats, Chickens, Sheep and Donkeys. I am here for you and am excited to be your pet sitter, whatever the pet. For the summer I am available 7 days a week. I can watch your pets after 2:30pm in the afternoons and evenings up 10pm. This schedule will change in the fall. Whatever the pet parents need me to do for their fur baby I can do. Feeding, walking, cleaning up messes, in and out of the house. I respect all rules of the home and take notes so each is cared for as expected. I’ll always make sure your fur baby is safe and loved.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember, I enjoyed also walking them for my friends and neighbors. I don’t have one currently, this will hopefully help fill the void. I’m available from mid day well into the evenings also available on weekend under special circumstances. I enjoy my walk and helping people. The company and pay are perks. Your furry friends is my priority I only walk one dog at a time. Paws will be brushed and whipped to remove dirt prior to entering the home. They will also be brushed and dried on rainy days if brush and towel is provided.

About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.

About: I grew up with family dogs throughout my childhood and couldn’t get enough animal love so I pursued a career in veterinary medicine. I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was in high school and now my career affords me enough free time to share with other fur babies. My fiancé and I currently have a zoo of 3 dogs and 3 cats (border collie mixes named Oliver and Bandit, an australian shepherd mix named Bailey, and the cats are Smudge, Jinx, and Milton). I’ve had experience with seniors, puppies/kittens, and the in between. I’m comfortable with administering oral, subcutaneous, and transdermal medications I’m finally in a position that provides me with a great work/life balance with a 3 day work week and a commute under 40 minutes. I work 12+ hour shifts at an ER/Specialty veterinary hospital Sun-Tues and I bring my dogs to work on those days if my boyfriend won’t be home. I’m almost always available for any pet sitting needs Wednesday through Saturday. We just moved to the area on a quiet street and have a partially fenced yard. I can take dogs for low intensity hikes, walks around the neighborhood, or let them run around out back for exercise. If you have any special requests for overnight care I will do my absolute best to accommodate.

About: I've had pets since I was born and have always cared deeply for their happiness and health. I've been asked by many friends, family and acquaintances to watch their animals and have always done a wonderful job. Part of what makes me good at it is that I genuinely love each pet I take care of, even if I only see them once. Also can administer medication’s and have experience with giving insulin shots. I’m currently working but retiring in June 2026, but I can try to accommodate as best as possible until then… after that I will have an open schedule. I can do drop-in visits to walk, feed, give medication and play with your pets while you are away. I will treat your pets as though they are my own.

About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life, fostering, new puppies, etc. I love caring for them and being by their side, and would love to do the same with your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with some cute animals! It’s a no brainer and a win win if I can help out in my free time! I will be by the animals side no matter what, no little distractions could get in the way of me and your pet! Just lots of smiles and fun times!

About: New to Rover, but not new to the world of pet care! I’ve worked with dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteer work with animal shelters. I’ve volunteered with shelters for more than 10 years and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, behavior, and working with dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies who need extra structure and attention to senior pets who may need a slower pace, patience, and a little extra care. I love making sure every pet gets the exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship they need. I truly treat everyone else’s pets as if they were my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos while you’re away. 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 am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.

About: I have taken care of almost all breeds. I have fostered and dog sat labs, pitbulls, mixed terriers, doodles, Bernese mountain dog, you name it! I have provided senior care to some, and the puppy stage. I am currently in school, so pet care fits very well into my weekly routine! I work part-time as well, just two-three days a week. I am well equipped to keep your dog how you would have them. If you crate them, I will! If you leave them roaming, I will! However you normally take care of your pet, I will always make them comfortable and do the same.

About: Dog life is the best life! 🐾 I live on a farm with three lovable Golden Retrievers, and it’s really their house just as much as it is mine (they even take up most of the bed at night!). We’ve got plenty of space to run, play, and swim — because nothing makes a dog happier than splashing around! Here, every pup is treated like family, with endless love, fun, and adventures. I work from home so I am with the dogs all the time unless I have to run out for an errand, they are never alone for more than an hour I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for the dogs to run around! We go on daily walks & swims, weather permitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sparta on Rover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $33 per walk. walkers 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 of October 2026, there are 3,737 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sparta after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
