Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sparta
“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
“I don’t even have words! Kelsey and her family are absolutely amazing! We’ve used several Rover sitters and no one even compares to this family. Tucker suffers from separation anxiety and you wouldn’t know it when he’s with their family. Kelsey is the sweetest and her husband is great also. They were patient and so sweet during our meet and greet. Thank you so much Kelsey and Family!! ❤️”
“Tina and her husband were amazing! They took such great care of our pup and treated him as if he was family. We absolutely love them and will use them any time we are in town. Highly recommend. Thanks again!”
“Keylor and Grace were wonderful!!! They took such good care of our puppy and were very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to messages. I really appreciated the pics of Buddy and updates on how he was doing as well!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”
About: We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, so we treat every dog like a part of our family. We rescued our Pomeranian Teddy when he was 2 years old, where he received little in the way of socializing or a normal formative experience, and now he's a happy, playful member of our family. I have always had dogs growing up. I love to be around dogs! They make me happy, and I enjoy showering them with endless attention and affection. I'm a worrywart and keep my house 100% dog safe, and keep a watchful eye on any dogs in my care at all times-Teddy is never left completely unattended in the backyard even if he's just going for a quick potty break. Our house has a larged fenced backyard with lots of room to run around and excercise. We are located ONLY 10 MINUTES from Columbus International Airport (but under the flight path at all), making our house an incredibly easy stop if you're coming back from travel! I am currently available to watch your dogs at any time. Weekdays, weekends and holidays can be a fun time for them to stay here and hang out in a quiet neighborhood with a friendly pup. We have a dog safe interior and a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood for your fur baby to run around in, with our sweet pomeranian to keep your dog company. We can crate your dog if you needed, or they can sleep with us in our room. Your dog will be given attention constantly and let outside every 2 to 4 hours, or as needed.
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Rachel and Newt are by far the best people we could have ever stumbled across. Our dog Tank had the best time with them. The photos we received of how comfortable he was took us by surprise and made us smile. We are absolutely going to keep booking with them as long as Tank is with us. Thank you both!”
“Jasmine was wonderful with our corgi! She kept us updated, sent photos, and asked questions regarding her care. She even accepted a last minute booking. We would definitely rebook again with Jasmine!”
“Zach and his wife treated our pups like their own! We were regularly updated with videos and pictures, so we never had to wonder how they were. Can’t recommend them enough.”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“The comfort of knowing that my boys were loved and cared for so well, was the best part of having them stay with Sally! We received pictures and videos all week while we vacationed - not having to worry about their well-being was so refreshing and relieving. I know these dogs will always enjoy their time with Sally. It’s like they have a vacation of their own!”
“Will and Bibiana were amazing! Very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. Aldo and Naxos had a great time playing in the backyard and enjoyed their walks. They are worn out from all the play time!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Halina and Theodor were the most fabulous host accommdating our super anxious dog Ginger for about a week while we were gone on a vacation. They went above and beyond in making sure Ginger was very comfortable in multiple situations and also took care of his medicines and walks. They also shared us multiple pictures every now and then to make us feel at ease while we were so far away on a vacation. We would definitely recommend Halina and Theodore to anyone who would need their services. Totally deserve the five stars and more.”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”

Cat caregivers near you - Sparta
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.
“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.”
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 taken care of cats since I was a little girl! From caring for my own 4 cats to friends and neighbors, I am a reliable care provider. Having cats of my own now, along with 5 new kittens, I am able to take care of cats from a wide age range.
“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”
“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.”
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”
“Christine is amazing. She’s been watching our high needs pets one. We’re out of town for a couple years now. We definitely use her every time we go out of town out of town and will continue to do so!”
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
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!
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
“Makayla did an outstanding job, We were away on vacation for a whole week and had her look in on the animals/house twice a day. She proved herself to be very loving and responsible! She was able to follow a detailed list of rules and responsibilities & my animals took to her very quickly which is especially unusual for my cat! Highly recommend 10/10!”

“Alayna was AMAZING! She watch my brand new pup on super short notice and took such good care of my girl. She updated me all day and clearly knows what she’s talking about when it comes to animals! I’m so happy with my experience and will absolutely have her care for Libby again 🫶🏼”
“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
“Fantastic experience, very communicative and flexible, sent great pictures of my dog and even a video of her having a great time! Safe neighborhood and clean home, with a fun backyard for the dogs to play in. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”
About: I truly love all animals and will treat your pet as my own while they are in my care! I have experience house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and experience with senior pets. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you are away! I work fully from home so I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I work Monday through Friday and can fit pet care in the mornings, midday, and evenings those days. I do not work weekends so I am even more available Saturdays and Sundays. I will care for your pet in your home exactly as you would. I carefully follow all instructions provided and will be communicative throughout my time with your pet. I can assist with anything you may need in your home as well, such as plants or getting mail. I know the stress of being away from your pet, so I am here to make it as easy on you as possible!

“Georgia was well taken care of by Yoniray and family. It was our first time using Rover, but Yoniray made us feel at easy with updates and pictures throughout the day. I would recommend Yoniray to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog.”

I am available for booking on weekdays and weekends at any time I have a patio with a roof where they can play all day and spend their energy, I also have everything your baby needs like food and water bolw, bed and a cage if need it
“Fantastic experience! Upper dare care provided on short notice. Our puppy was worn out after a day of play. Very pleased with the care Anna (Xi) provided. Very conscientious, asked all the questions to make sure our puppy’s experience was maximized. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey, I’m Jonathan! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life, and today I’m the proud owner of two playful Labs. I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your furry family—so I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to keep tails wagging. I work from home Monday–Friday, 9 to 6, which gives me flexible availability to care for pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I supervise closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure they’re never left without care.
About: I've spent 12 years raising and caring for my family's two dogs, even though they're now in a different state. Since recently moving to Atlanta, I am hoping to be around dogs more since mine are so far! I love spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I bring that same care to every dog I walk. I currently am working from home near Ponce City Market. I love going for walks before and after work as well as during my lunch break. I have a park near by and the beltline to get dogs plenty of exercise! Any special care your pup needs, please let me know.

“Grace was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn! She arrived right on time for every visit and took him on long walks that he clearly enjoyed. We really appreciated the updates and photos along the way because they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Finn and made sure he was happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Grace again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!”
About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

About: I’ve had pets all my life! I have had big and small pets! Mainly dogs but I have had two cats for at least ten years now! My current pets (two dogs and two cats) are all senior age.

Other than that I am almost always available and can provide time and care to your pets before and after work or whenever you may need. Just let me and we can always make a plan.

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.
About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.
“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
“I don’t even have words! Kelsey and her family are absolutely amazing! We’ve used several Rover sitters and no one even compares to this family. Tucker suffers from separation anxiety and you wouldn’t know it when he’s with their family. Kelsey is the sweetest and her husband is great also. They were patient and so sweet during our meet and greet. Thank you so much Kelsey and Family!! ❤️”
“Keylor and Grace were wonderful!!! They took such good care of our puppy and were very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to messages. I really appreciated the pics of Buddy and updates on how he was doing as well!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”
About: We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, so we treat every dog like a part of our family. We rescued our Pomeranian Teddy when he was 2 years old, where he received little in the way of socializing or a normal formative experience, and now he's a happy, playful member of our family. I have always had dogs growing up. I love to be around dogs! They make me happy, and I enjoy showering them with endless attention and affection. I'm a worrywart and keep my house 100% dog safe, and keep a watchful eye on any dogs in my care at all times-Teddy is never left completely unattended in the backyard even if he's just going for a quick potty break. Our house has a larged fenced backyard with lots of room to run around and excercise. We are located ONLY 10 MINUTES from Columbus International Airport (but under the flight path at all), making our house an incredibly easy stop if you're coming back from travel! I am currently available to watch your dogs at any time. Weekdays, weekends and holidays can be a fun time for them to stay here and hang out in a quiet neighborhood with a friendly pup. We have a dog safe interior and a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood for your fur baby to run around in, with our sweet pomeranian to keep your dog company. We can crate your dog if you needed, or they can sleep with us in our room. Your dog will be given attention constantly and let outside every 2 to 4 hours, or as needed.
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Rachel and Newt are by far the best people we could have ever stumbled across. Our dog Tank had the best time with them. The photos we received of how comfortable he was took us by surprise and made us smile. We are absolutely going to keep booking with them as long as Tank is with us. Thank you both!”
“Zach and his wife treated our pups like their own! We were regularly updated with videos and pictures, so we never had to wonder how they were. Can’t recommend them enough.”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“The comfort of knowing that my boys were loved and cared for so well, was the best part of having them stay with Sally! We received pictures and videos all week while we vacationed - not having to worry about their well-being was so refreshing and relieving. I know these dogs will always enjoy their time with Sally. It’s like they have a vacation of their own!”
“Will and Bibiana were amazing! Very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. Aldo and Naxos had a great time playing in the backyard and enjoyed their walks. They are worn out from all the play time!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“John and Shannon sent us several pics, video's and texts of Ruby enjoying walks, their dog Maggie and the backyard. We appreciated their honesty. It did not go problem free but they handled the situations properly. We are glad we tried Rover.”
“Carol was amazing with Oakley! She was very attentive to his needs and his schedule. She regularly sent me updates on how he was doing, and she went above and beyond! I would trust her with anyone’s pet! 😊”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
