“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”
“Cannon did a great job watching the dogs and cat. The cat is skittish around new people but by day 3 she was out and lying in her spot with the dogs and Cannon. That showed me she was comfortable with Cannon. The pictures Cannon send showed the dogs being their normal selves. I would have Cannon watch my animals again.”
“Selena was great! She took the time to come meet Cooper before she stayed with him & communicated very well with cute photos. We would have her back to watch Cooper again anytime!”
“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.”
“Jennifer watched our house and animals over the weekend. She was awesome and communication was great. Our dog was happy to have such great care. Will absolutely call her again!”
“Excellent and attentive care to our home and our animals! She was a 10/10 sitter. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we are out of town! We are so happy with our experience. :)”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
About: I have worked with dogs for years and i love doing it. i love meeting new dogs and helping when i can i have had a passion for animals ever since i was a kid. i am currently a student in college right now so i have a flexible schedule i can do mornings and evenings also some mid-day and overnights. I have three dogs of my own who i love and care for. I have raised two of them from puppies to now young’s dogs!
“Trisa was a great find! She kept up with our communications, was easy going and pleasant to deal with. We knew our dog Cocoa was safe and happy. We also felt very comfortable with Trisa in our home. Our trips without Cocoa are usually just long weekends, and we will use Trisa again.”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care
“Brittany took good care of Ozzy and made sure he had plenty of playtime and attention during her visit. Communication was clear, and everything went smoothly overall. I would consider booking her again!”
“I don’t have enough good words to say about Jamie! Our animals are our world and I feel like we finally found a sitter who treats them just as amazing as we do. It is such a relief to find someone who takes such good care of your animals while you are gone so you don’t spend the whole time feeling guilty for leaving. At one point, we even said that our dog probably likes her more since she took him on so many walks even in the cold! Jamie was so communicative about how the animals were doing and sent the best photos! She even went the extra mile when I realized I lost something and she found it. She left our home just as clean as when we left so everything was taken care of when we returned so we could just focus on seeing our boys. I can’t recommended her enough and I’m just so glad we found her to have someone we (and our animals!) trust. Just don’t book her so much that we can’t use her 😄”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”
“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”
“This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter. Josh was wonderful with Coby he sent pictures during the week, kept me updated on what was happening. He watered my plants and picked up Mail. I would highly recommend him and will definitely ask for him again. Overall I felt like Coby was in great hands and gave me great peace of mind! I could really enjoy my time away”
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“Carrie was absolutely awesome!! She made sure our boys were taken care with love and compassion. We couldn't be happier and will be contacting her in the near future to stay again”
“Lucas was great! He spent a week at our home with our Great Dane Goose. Goose seemed super happy (and most importantly, tired) once we returned home. Lucas was responsive, respectful, and communicative through out the trip. Will 100% be repeat clients.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sparta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 757 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sparta walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sparta maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sparta choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparta. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
