Pet Sitting in Sparta

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

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.

About: I have owned animals my entire life. I have extensive experience with dogs, cat and horses. I am heavily involved in animal rescue which has afforded me a wealth of knowledge, as well as being a pet owner for over 40 years. I can do weekday afternoons/evening. Depending on your location I can do potty breaks during the week. Weekends are my best availability but can make week days work depending on the day. I have the knowledge and skill to provide top notch care, not to mention, I love animals and enjoy cuddles and playtime to ensure they are living a healthy, active life!

“I’m new to Rover and Amy exceeded my expectations! With Amy, I know Finn will be taken care of and I now have piece of mind while I’m away working.”

About: I have had dogs through my life. I have been accustomed to small and large dogs, ranging from age as well. I have taken care of my friends' dogs at times, so I can do well with daily tasks. I am currently on winter break for college. I am available whenever during the day. I am willing to come whenever you need, even on short notice. Whatever I am told to do, I will follow the rules. I will not mess with the house and leave it as I found it.

About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Have taken care of many dogs/cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I have a 2 year old black lab who I personally trained. I absolutely looooove animals and would be willing to help with anything you need! I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am a registered nurse and I am in graduate school to obtain my doctorate. I live in a house and have a very friendly, gentle black lab who can keep your dog company. I also have a husky who will stay in his cage most of the time if we have doggy company (he is a sweetie but not always gentle with other dogs). We have a fenced in backyard and ample walking areas around the neighborhood. I also have many, many, many dog toys (probably too many) that my dog would be willing to share.

“Donald is outstanding! He went above and beyond for me with lots of attention, patience, and TLC for all my cats. He sent lots of pictures and updates on my cats that brought me a great measure of relief all pet owners need to feel secure about their care. It's also a huge bonus he's going to vet school. Hire him, you'll be glad you did!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

“Ashley was so great for a last minute drop in, I appreciated the communication and her chilling with him while we had to be out of town”

Montez L.

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

“Amy took great care of our spoiled 17 1/2 year old cat while we were away on vacation for over a week! She came in once a day to give medication and provide all the necessities. Amy was thorough in her communications with us.”

Jody K.

“Very dependable and good with the dogs. She also took good photos! I would recommend and will use again! Thanks!”

“Fantastic! We’re so appreciative of your quick action after the storm, going back to the house to make sure Billie was ok. We can’t thank you enough for keeping our girl safe.”

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.
