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'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!

“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.”

About: A Lifelong Love of Animals & Care You Can Trust 🐾❤️ Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was involved in 4-H and had four dogs at different stages of my life, along with two hamsters, a rabbit, and fish. These experiences helped nurture my love for animals and my appreciation for the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs, cats, iguanas, chameleons, fish, and rabbits. In addition, I’ve volunteered at two horse barns, which gave me opportunities to spend time caring for and working around horses. Due to allergies within my household, I’m unable to have pets of my own right now. While I completely understand the need to keep my home pet-free, I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing something I truly love while helping other pet parents feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring, dependable hands. I know pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection. I may not be able to have a pet of my own right now, but I have a lifetime of love to share with yours! 🐶🐱🐰 Pet Care That Fits Your Schedule—and Mine! 🐾 As a busy mom of school-aged children, I understand the importance of balancing family life while making time for the things I love. Managing a household of six has taught me to be organized, dependable, and flexible. Pet care is a wonderful fit for my lifestyle because it allows me to share my love for animals while working around my family’s schedule. My weekday mornings and afternoons are generally very open, making me available to provide attentive, reliable care when you need it most. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My evening and weekend availability is more limited due to family commitments, but I’m always happy to discuss scheduling and see if we’re a good fit. My goal is to make life a little easier for you while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱G Respectful, Reliable Care in Your Pet’s Home: I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and approach every visit with respect, attention to detail, and clear communication. Having previously worked as a professional cleaner, I’m very comfortable entering and securing someone else’s home, respecting their belongings and personal space, and following specific instructions and expectations. I believe in establishing clear guidelines before each service so everyone feels comfortable and knows what to expect. I’m very detail-oriented and mindful of boundaries, both yours and your pet’s. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and make sure doors are locked and your home is secure when I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful pet care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being treated with the utmost care and respect. Your trust is something I value, and I want you to feel confident every time you welcome me into your home.

About: At a young age of 5, I grew up loving and caring for a German Shepherd. Now, I have 3 dogs of my own. Outside of my dogs at home, I work at a Doggy Daycare. I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me. At my home, two of my three dogs are able to go out in the yard unleashed, the other on a lead. For your dogs, I am able to walk them daily if needed, I can also crate them if necessary. I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had the joy of owning and caring for pets throughout my life. I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. The unconditional love, companionship, and happiness they bring into our lives are truly special, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of creating a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing them with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. My household also has a background in veterinary nursing, bringing valuable familiarity with animal health, behavior, and overall well-being into our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether you’re away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether they love going for walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing and enjoying some company. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions or preferences you may have. I believe consistency and familiarity help pets feel secure, especially when they’re away from their families. Communication is also important to me. I’m always happy to provide pictures, updates, and check-ins throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously and strive to provide a loving, dependable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them a safe, loving home away from home! We will have a lot of time to interact with your pet and provide whatever their interest are to try and keep their routine as normal as possible. I am flexible and understanding of the owners request. However they would like me to do things, I will honor and respect that request. The pets safety is most important.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,298 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparta. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
