Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sparta
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sparta
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“I would definitely book again with Bill & Mary. I was nervous about boarding my dog for the first time ever, but Bill & Mary quickly eased my fears. I noticed that along with their star rating, they had a lot of repeat customers. They were both very friendly and easy to work with. They took great care of my dog, sending regular photo updates and making sure he had lots of fun playing in their large fenced in backyard. I highly recommend their boarding services to others!”
“We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Kelsey was incredibly accommodating and willing to help watch out pup. She was considerate, sent updates and pictures, and was sure to check in on any needs our dog may need. Highly highly recommended!”
“Rita and Brian are exactly what our older dog needed for our vacation (and his). They provided me with updates daily and many pictures. Our dog was living his best life with them. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“Nicholas and Emily were great! They took great care of Eddie and he was sad to leave! They sent great pictures and were very accommodating! I will for sure use them again :)”
“Samantha responded promptly to questions and updated often on how our boy, Tate, was doing . Tate had so much fun, I was worried he may not want to come home 😆 Highly recommend Samantha!”
“My miniature Goldendoodle was in great spirits after her 7-day stay. I got plenty of updates. No issues were noted with her care. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Leslie was amazing. Treats our dogs like family. Gave extra attention when our puppy’s stomach was upset with his first day away, but they were so great about it. Dogs had a great weekend and so did we knowing they were in safe hands!”
“Tina was super responsive and very easy to work with. I had great peace of mind that Gibson was in great hands while I visited with family for the holidays. I would definitely recommend her and use her again to care for my dog.”
“Abigail was available for an extended week over the holiday with lots of sweet update pictures along the way. Our dogs got along well and to top it off she returned all my dog’s bedding washed and fresh!”
“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!”
“It's so awesome to find someone like Lauranne to take care of our pup while on vacation. We never worried about him. We knew he was in capable hands. Our boy, Mr. Bobby loved hanging with her and all the attention she gave him. She sent us daily notes and pictures. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”

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 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: 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: Having lived with cats my entire life and currently caring for a senior orange cat, I am familiar with both the quirky and complex aspects of feline care. I understand that cats are not just "low-maintenance" pets; they require a caregiver who can recognize subtle signs of discomfort, respect their independent boundaries, and earn the trust of a shy cat. I am fully comfortable with: - Monitoring hydration - Tracking changes in mobility - Ensuring overall well-being - Engaging them with appropriate play that satisfies their hunting instincts without causing stress - Maintaining strict cleanliness routines, which are vital for the health of both senior and multi-cat households.
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!
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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!
“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”
About: I know of a lot of people that are just dog people but not cat lovers. I love cats just as much as I love dogs. I have been watching over 2 cats in the course of one year and I love them to death. They do end up fighting and one has problems with vomiting, but I have gotten used to the struggles that cats face. I’m good at working with situations most people don’t want to deal with. I also can tell when and when not to interact with a cat.
About: I have a cat of my own whom I adore, so I understand the special care and attention cats need. I’m experienced in feeding, playing with and providing a calm, loving environment to keep your feline friends comfortable and happy while you’re away.
About: I am a dog mom to two dogs my Golden Retriever Charlie who is 7 and my Boston Terrier Pit mix Thumper who is 5. I have experience training both of my dogs as puppies as well as assisting friends and family with theirs. I grew up around animals and enjoy horse back riding, going on hikes with my dogs, and sitting for friends and family! I have experience with dogs as big as German Shepherds and Pit bulls as well as small Yorkies and chihuahuas. I love going on walks with the dogs that I watch and making sure they get some snuggles in! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and spend time with them. I do work full-time but have flexibility in the evening/morning/and on weekends to assist with your needs. I can also assist with vacation check ins! Spending time with your fur babies would consist of walks, interactive play with their favorite toys to help get some energy out, meals as needed, and a quick treat training sessions for young puppies who are learning. Specific needs can be discussed as needed!

About: I'm a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a love for small dogs! I've had Chihuahuas since I was 12. I currently have one who is well socialized and gets along great with other animals. A day in our home is filled with cuddles, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to provide lots of photos and videos of your pet during their time here because I know pets are part of the family and how hard it can be to be away from them. The dogs in my care will have full access to my home. We will provide multiple daily walks and follow whatever schedule you provide to keep them feeling comfortable and at home here.
About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property. Your dog(s) will receive a lot of love and attention.
About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉
About: I have had such a huge passion for animals since I was young and I have rescued many strays over the years. Now, I live on a farm with 2 dogs and 2 (rescued) cats. One dog is a senior so I have experience with caring for older animals and handling with sweet care. My husky also loves playing which would be great socialization for your pets too. I don't crate my animals so just know they have the space to hang out and you'll get lots of pictures! I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist so I have plenty of time to take them potty, out for a walk, let them play in the yard, and get some energy out. I have a friendly Husky who would love to play, lots of space to roam, and an unnatural amount of toys! I don't crate my animals but if your dog need his own space, I have a pet room they can relax in or hang out with me in my home office. Safety is extremely important to me, so your dog will be leashed when out in the yard or on walks, and I'll protect them like I do my own.
About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.

“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”
“Monica and her dogs were great! Took great care of Breslin and even took his crazy personality on walks :) He came home tired every day. Was also flexible with last minute timing requests. Will definitely use again!”
“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!”
“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”

“Rumi was so nice and responsive to all our messages. She was able to watch our dog on short notice. She sent updates during the stay where Evie seemed to be enjoying herself. Thanks so much!”

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.
“Amy was so friendly and easy to work with. It is clear she loves animals and made me feel very good knowing that my animals were in good hands. She went above and beyond with her walks and can’t wait to work with her again!”

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: Hey guys! My name is Sam and I love dogs and cats! I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Delaware County. Most of my pets have been rescued from the Humane Society, as well as surrounding rescues. I'm experienced with puppies-senior dogs, and there is no breed that I dislike! I am experienced with all ages of cats as well! I can handle newborns-senior cats. I work full time as a Radiologic Technologist, so please keep this in mind when requesting to book, as I’m not available for drop ins/walks during the weekdays until about 4:30-5 pm. Other than that, I’m available anytime after 5 and anytime on the weekends. I'm available to bathe dogs as needed, give medicine when needed, pretty much anything you need. I can do walks, drop in visits, and stay at your home if you're away for extended periods of time. I am experienced pet sitting from my parents friends pop in visits, over night stays, and anything else they may have needed. I hope that you’ll choose me to help you out. I'm excited to meet you and your fur babies! I am also a Duck mom, so I am able to help care for your ducks if you have them! I work a full time job from 7am-5:30pm, and have Thursdays off. Along with my Thursdays off, I do not work weekends. I do not accept pets in my home, but am willing and able to come to your home. I can easily crate your dog if needed while I’m away. I follow all of your routines laid out so that we can put the least amount of stress on your babies while you’re gone. Please know that your pet/pets will be very spoiled with love and affection while you are gone! I treat every client’s animals as if they were my own. I understand the stressors of traveling and leaving your babies in the hands of someone else while you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands while you’re away.
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 have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs.

About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.
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.

“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.
About: Had dogs in my life since I could remember! Love playing and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! Have been dog walking/sitting for the past 5 years I am currently in college so time is limited but afternoons are mostly free. I am willing to be super flexible and can normally make time for anything! I can walk up to 3 dogs at time. I am able to maintain a safe and clean environment for dogs while house sitting/ dog sitting.
“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!”
