About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.

Grace was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn! She arrived right on time for every visit and took him on long walks that he clearly enjoyed. We really appreciated the updates and photos along the way because they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Finn and made sure he was happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Grace again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!

About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and companionship they need rather than rushing through visits. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s established routine and providing consistent care throughout the day. I also make communication a priority, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while they’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, medications if applicable, and any behaviors or special instructions I should be aware of. Safety is my priority, so I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, so I provide regular updates and photos and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away

I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

About: I’m a born animal lover! Have had and cared for animals my entire life. Any and all animals from wild to domestic are my ultimate passion in life. I promise to care for your pets at the highest level in order to give you peace of mind while you’re apart from them. I’m dependable, reliable, responsible, easy to work with/communicate with, I’m a diverse person who is comfortable in any setting and I’m very solution oriented. I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to help out with your animals. I’ve just recently relocated here to Columbus,OH area from Los Angeles California. I’m looking to help others with their pets because animals are my life’s passion! I’ve taken care of pets consistently for 10+ years and it simply never grows old. I have full open availability and I am very flexible and understanding. I’m easy to communicate with. At this time I can offer services at clients homes. I have two dogs of my own and so I am able to give your pets the one on one attention that they need I provide care in clients homes. I’ve found that pets do best with a sitter when they are inside of their domain.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,272 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:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
