Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.

Tammy did an amazing job caring for our two spoiled cats. She was dependable, thoughtful and sent us daily updates with photos. It was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Tammy followed my instructions to a tee and totally respected our home, as well. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner and we will absolutely ask for her help again.

Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and our cat while our family was away for a week. She was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was just as we left it. We are so grateful for the extra care and attention she gave them and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

About: I have the pet Velcro and can’t help but make friends with all the babies I can meet. I have personally owned a Bichon, a cocker spaniel, two springer spaniels, two labs, and currently my one and only Arlo- Alaskan malamute. So much love leftover and I cant wait to share some. I currently have a very flexible schedule to ensure continuity in your pet care and also have a soft spot for seniors and puppies that may need a little more attention. I’m currently taking openings during the weekday 8:30-5. More availability for house sitting! I am a very safety conscious walker and have been training my own pet with thunderhawk ongoing for years now learning very helpful obedience and mental stimulation tips I’d love to share!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time and understand their needs. I’ve helped rescue many dogs over the years. I have experience helping anxious dogs feel comfortable. I love to take walks and I think dogs make walks even more enjoyable! I understand their basic needs but also understand them on a deeper level if they were to need special attention. I cannot currently care for animals in my home but I am happy to care for them in their home. I am comfortable with whatever level of care your pet requires.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience providing dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, and exotics of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including seniors and pets that require extra patience, routine, or medication support. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and comfort cues so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, feeding, walking, playtime, potty clean-up, and companionship, along with light home care and housekeeping while pet parents are away. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines, and proactive about communication—because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved pet. Above all, I truly love animals. I’m calm, nurturing, and observant, which helps pets warm up quickly and feel at ease. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and cautious, I meet them where they are and care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱💙 Since I don’t work a traditional 8–5 schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to be flexible and attentive to pets’ needs. I plan my schedule around pet visits to ensure consistency, reliability, and unrushed care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs and established routine. I value structure and communication, so I arrive on time, follow instructions carefully, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes. Whether your pet needs regular check-ins, companionship while you’re away, or extra attention during certain times of day, I’m intentional about making pet care a priority—not an afterthought. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible, because familiar environments help reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household preferences. I’m attentive, observant, and respectful of both pets and property. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, food and water areas are clean, and litter boxes or outdoor spaces are properly maintained. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I practice calm, gentle handling and never force interactions—especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets. Trust is built through patience and consistency. I also provide updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or during short visits, my goal is to create a safe, peaceful environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for. 🐾💙

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. ​I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. ​ ​I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. ​ ​When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sparta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sparta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
