Katelin has been so good with my cat Citrus who has been dealing with an eczema flare up—so taking on his twice a day oral medications in addition to my two cats regularly feeding regimen. I couldn’t ask for a better person to negotiate my cats’ evolving needs while I’m out of town.

Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.

Phenomenal job! Sidney has impressed me with her professionalism and care- and my pets adore her. One of my cats can be a little skittish, but he loves Sidney. I was out of town for an extended time and she took great care to make sure I came back to healthy cats! ?

Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.

About: I treat every pet like family, giving them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets—patient with training needs and gentle with older dogs who need extra TLC. I’m always tuned in to each pet’s personality and comfort, whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or quiet company. Safety, consistency, and connection are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I plan my day around their needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly love doing. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and relaxed. I follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, meds, and favorite toys—so pets feel right at home. I also give regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I respect your space, your rules, and your pet’s unique needs, treating them like part of the family.

About: I love all the fur babies! I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds, and Fresh/Saltwater Fish! Please see below for addition information! For dogs: I love doggies! I have two dogs of my own who need constant love and attention. I love playtime and taking them for walks! I’ll be happy to walk the doggies and give them some needed exercise when your schedule becomes busy! For cats: I have a deep love for cats. I have had many cats in my care since I was young. Typically multiple cats at one time! I have experience with kittens from birth - all the way to their end of life. During this time I have become very experienced in providing medication, grooming, end of life care (cleaning those accidents they can’t control) and providing all the love they need! Lovable cats and skittish cats - I love both, so I’ll be happy to check in on them, clean their litter boxes, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away! Other animals: Please reach out for any additional pet inquiries! I also have experience with other animals including fish, rabbits and birds! I currently work full time, however I have flexibility in my schedule, specifically on weekday afternoons, and available all day on weekends to help with your pets. If you have a specific need - please reach out to me and we can see what the best accommodation is for you and your fur babies! Safety is a top priority for me when it comes to your fur babies. I will follow all requests for the safety of your pet.

About: I have grown up with pets ever since I was a toddler, and have dedicated much time to learning how to care for animals. Besides having my own, I have pet sit for friends/family before, but would like to create more of a career out of it(hence why I’m on Rover!) I look forward to providing my best work and quality care for all dogs and cats! I am currently a college student so my availability will vary, but I will be available for most of the time, as my classes only take a couple hours a day! I have an apartment with plenty of open and safe places to walk during the day, and a completely safe apartment where I can keep close watch of your pets. I also live with my kitty who grew up with a dog!

About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals for as long as I could remember. Dogs being the most common to clean up after, feed, walk and everything in between. It’s not just my animals I watch but family and friends come to me when they want someone who loves watching their babies. Also reptiles, birds, and fish. I’m currently a college student going to UNLV from Monday- Thursday at all various times. But when I’m not at school I’m always happy to watch your fur babies! I care for all pets differently depending on what each one needs. I’ve experience in giving medication on time and treat each dog as if they were my own. My home has a nice backyard to play no dogs currently but each dog has my full love and attention.

About: I care for them like family! I have experience with everything from puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who deserve extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I pay attention to the little things that keep animals happy whether that’s extra cuddle time, slow walks for older dogs, or enrichment games for energetic pups and curious cats. I’m reliable, communicative, and always send updates because i can’t help but take a million photos I have a super flexible work schedule so conflicts should never happen! I am able to chose my schedule most of the time but i can be very efficient with communicating schedules In my home, my pet basically becomes my roommate (the kind that gets all the treats and never has to do chores). They’ll get cuddles, playtime, walks, and naps. I keep their routine on track! In your home, I’m the stand-in human your pet didn’t know they needed. I make sure their meals, walks, and playtime happen on schedule, and of course plenty of pets. I leave your place just as tidy as I found it, maybe with a few extra paw-prints of happiness. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free no matter where you are.

About: I have dogsat for my neighbors growing up, have taken care of my own dogs while my parents were out of town, along with feeding, sitting, and taking my friends’ dogs out for frequent walks when needed. I've administered medication for dogs (pills for managing epilepsy) as well as shots for cats. I've learned to love all animals that come into my care, similar to how my mom and grandmother have operated. It would be a pleasure and privilege to bring my caretaking genes to your furry family! I also take care of birds. Let me hang out with your feathery friends! I live and work at home in Miami during the winter and spring-ish seasons and live and work across the western US for the summer and fall. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week until April/May when seasonal work switches my schedule to working one week on, one week off. I have lived with many animals in my lifetime, made mistakes and learned greatly from them, and fully prioritize love and safety to your animals. The beauty of living in Florida in the wintertime and the West in the summer is that taking dogs on walks in the sunshine is never a chore!

About: I have experience working in kennels, daycares, a rescue, a training facility, and a barn caring for horses as well. I currently own a horse, a few smaller farm animals, a snake, and a service dog which I have fully trained myself after mentoring under a trainer. I have experience with a wide range of dogs of all sizes and drives but am a lover of all animals. I currently have a fairly open schedule while I focus on school. I am able to adjust to whatever routine you have in place for your dogs and treat them like my own while they are in my care. I value building a strong relationship with my furry (or scaley) clients. Im currently available during the week most of the day to walk dogs. When not working I am training my service dog and taking care of our other animals. I am able to adjust to whatever routine you have in place for your dogs and treat them like my own while they are in my care. I value building a strong relationship with my furry (or scaley) clients.

Sherina is amazing! I’ve booked her twice now, and after the first time, I knew my puppy was in great hands. He was happy and well cared for, so I had nothing to worry about during my trip. She was always on schedule and even went out of her way to take him on extra walks. She’ll definitely be my first choice going forward. Thank you, Sherina!

Ezra has been SO good with my Kiya! He goes above and beyond to make sure that she is comfortable, and is very intelligent about how to handle dogs with love and affection. He truly cares for animals and it is important to him that they are treated properly. It seems to be a passion of his to make sure that the pups are cared for in the best possible way for them. Kiya has never really been a puppy who attaches herself to men, but she is so comfortable with Ezra! He is like a puppy whisperer! I highly recommend him!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sparks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Sparks on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 1,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sparks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sparks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sparks choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Sparks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
