About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

I can’t speak for how well my dog handled the situation, but she was very prompt in my request, and my fur child was safe at home when I finally got off my 14 hour shift. I can’t thank her enough.

Arianna is wonderful. So calm and gentle with our two mini schnoodles. One of ours has anxiety and it took a day or two, but he just loves when she comes.

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 been caring for cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to seniors. I currently have three cats of my own, including one who recently had a litter of kittens, giving me hands-on experience caring for both mom and babies. I also have experience with large dogs, as I have two of my own. Over the years, I've cared for pets belonging to neighbors, family, and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease. With my flexible schedule and summers free, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or quality playtime, I can accommodate a variety of schedules and give your pet the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I care for cats and dogs with compassion and building trust. Having 2 large dogs and 3 cats of my own, I love furry friends!

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.

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!

About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.

About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.

I will not mess with the house and leave it as I found it.

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.
