House Sitting in Sparta

“I am so thankful to have found Caitlin. I had a last minute issue with my previously arranged pet sitter and turned to Rover hoping for the best. With less than 48 hours turnaround from contract to start of my extended vacation she was able to accommodate a meet and greet and was more than willing to take on my entire menagerie, even making herself comfortable with a rat and a bearded dragon! She was great at following the extensive directions I left and she communicated with me on the regular, sending me pics of my happy, happy crew. I’ll definitely be using Caitlin again, if I can ever afford another vacation after the last one!”

“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”

“Jamie was amazing. Our dog was recovering from ACL surgery and she made sure Mia stayed off steps and gave her the extra attention she needed. The house was left immaculate.”

“Kaitlyn was excellent. Took good care of Gino. It was his first time where mom had left for more than just a few then just a few hours. Took care of his meds. Spent time on the couch cuddling and sent me a few pictures. I would use Kaitlyn again for sure”

“We cannot thank David enough! He’s has kept us updated with pictures and texts and it appears as though he has won the hearts of all of our fur babies. So blessed to have found him.?”

About: What sets me apart? I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience, a calm home environment, and a deep love for animals, I focus on consistency, comfort, and clear communication. I maintain your pet’s routine, send regular updates, and ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. We also do late night walks and play time. It’s my full time job! I board dogs and do daycare at home and go to peoples houses for drop ins and we also do overnights! The dogs have their own room dedicated to them, safe from being able to get into anything. We also have cameras to be able to check on dogs at all times. In a clients home we maintain calmness with fun and spend ample time with them while owners are away.

About: From having an Irish Wolfhound and Blue Heeler on a farm with cats as well, I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have an indoor kitten, Mabel, and want to extend my expertise to you as well. I have experience pet sitting for friends often (pitbulls, golden doodles, Great Pyrenees, small dogs/toy dogs as well as American shorthair cats) and I am available full time to pet sit. I am currently waiting for my new job to start in a couple weeks so I am looking to pet sit as often as possible at this moment. I can only pet sit at the clients home at this moment but I would try to extend the same treatment I would to my own home and pets to theirs. Cleanliness and safety is of utmost importance caring for pets along with exercise, play, and affection.

“Brittany was great with Atlas. He's a high energy anxious German Shepard and she made sure he spent a ton of time playing and helped him relax. It was the first time Brittany watched Atlas and will definitely be asking for her help again when I'm out of town”

“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”

“Liana was responsible in caring for our dog and cat over the holiday. She also stayed in our home. We would recommend and look forward to having her again!”

About: I have taken care of Seniors, Baby-sat, and have pets. I’ve had several years in customer service and am a responsible college student that goes to a classical Christian college called Grove City College. Walking, cleaning, and feeding pets has been a part of my life for several years. I think what is more telling is my commitment to menial tasks everyday. I am a reliable, disciplined, and routinely individual. In my clients home, I will consistently play with their pets. I’ve had prior expirence taking care of pets and really love animals. I also feed them and walk them on a schedule.

“Carrie was an amazing house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of our Basset Fiona sending videos and pictures. Also, our air conditioning went out during a heat wave while Carrie was sitting. She was super helpful in letting in the technicians to do the repairs needed and sending pictures of the progress. I highly recommend Carrie!!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and have helped care for and train them since I can remember. My family and I have helped foster 5 greyhounds and babysit for friends somewhat regularly. I have plenty of free time for babysitting pups! I'm available weekdays and weekends, any time of the day, just let me know at least a day ahead of time and I'll make sure to make time to take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in backyard for your dogs to play in as well as a very friendly australian shepard to keep your dogs company (however if need be I have enough room that they could be separated), we also have chickens and an outside cat that both stay mostly out front. I have multiple large kennels in case those are needed as well. There's a pool in our backyard, however I make sure to closely monitor any pets that aren't used to pools.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I find joy training puppies and older dogs (if they'll allow me to of course). I enjoy being outside more than inside and being able to see the doggos smile just for being outside. I'm a flexible mom of 2 whom both play sports, travel and for their school. I adjust my time around my families schedule which gives me a lot of flexibility during school hours and most evenings. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. As a mother, nurturing is something I love to give to those who cannot speak for themselves. I believe all animals play a very important role in all families whether it be service animals, friendship, to travel buddies.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 and have always had a heart for animals. I now take care of my own farm and it is an absolute joy. I love animals and being able to provide services to people and their pets. I have a very flexible schedule to ensure your pet is getting the proper care and attention it deserves. Pets are family and deserve to be treated like it! I have two acres fenced in, so your pup can get plenty of fun and exercise. I have a golden retriever who loves to play with other dogs and will be happy to keep your pet company, along with a sweet outdoor dog and cat on my farm. Your dog will have full access to my home and yard while being supervised, and can easily be crated if that is what you prefer. Caring for pets is my only job, and it is my priority to make everyone feel safe, loved, and comfortable when in my care. If there is anything extra I can do to ensure your pet has fun, I make sure to do it. I love giving homemade treats (if approved), filling up the kitty pool so they can swim, etc. I don’t want dogs to just stay at my home, I want to provide an experience for them!

About: I treat your furry family members like my own. From senior pet care and medication administration to daily walks and drop-ins, I provide personalized, compassionate care. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home. I am a stay at home mom currently and have two older kiddos. I have a lot of time to dedicate to you and your furry family member. As long as I have 3 days advance notice I can make just about anything schedule wise work. In your home: I will follow any rules and requirements you may have and even happy to grab mail, or do light cleaning if needed as well while away. If your animal has a strict schedule or its more easy going no worries! what your animal needs I can make happen. In my home: I myself have a fully fenced in back yard for plenty of dog running and play. I also allow animals to roam in all the main living areas and they are allowed on furniture if they like. I keep everything covered when we have fur babies in the house. My kids are older and also any animal in the home will be loved and played with by them! they both are animal lovers. I will follow any guidelines/rules you set, eating schedules, walking schedules, etc.

About: I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’m not going to let you down. I am semi retired and available most days. I do have some physical limitations, but we can address them as needed if that would be an issue. I can just let them out and check for food and water, I can take them for a walk, and I can work with special needs. The idea is that you feel comfortable knowing that you’re pet is safe and happy.

“Jennifer is a life saver! I had a sitter cancel last minute and she swooped in and saved the day! She was amazing with my babies and sent lots of pictures! My dogs loved her and from now on she will be my go to sitter! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!”

About: I have taken care of all sort of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs and 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.

“Renee sent lots of photos while we were away. She picked up poop in the yard and left our house clean for our return. We would hire her again to watch our 3 dogs.”
