About: I am only out in the field ~2 hours/day, then I work from my computer. Guess what that means? I can give your companion(s) ALL the attention and only leave for walks/runs, odd errands, and food. There's no overestimation of the love our pets need and deserve! I have experience with aggression, anxiety, medication, potty training... you name it. I'd love to keep your furry friends company. I'm very outdoorsy, so would enjoy taking active dogs to the mountains or the park. While we're at your home, I thrive in a quiet, clean space. I work, meditate, do yoga and chill. I'll leave your space super clean and your dog(s) tuckered out and happy :) I’m only in the field ~2 hrs per day, then I work from my computer. That means I can give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy a calm space and spend my time doing yoga, reading and meditating. I will give your pets plenty of engagement and leave your space cleaner than I found it.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have always loved animals. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends who have relied on me to feed and take out their pets. I also worked at a dog daycare/boarding recently for a summer. I love animals and want to give them to best experience while their owners are gone! I am in school and would love to help pets get some time on walks or outside during my mid day downtime! I want to make sure I keep a routine for animals while their owners are gone. I take pride in providing the best care and following all care instructions. I have a puppy who my family and I have been training. Even though this doesn’t apply to the service I offer, He is easily crated and goes on walks well.
About: I was born with a serious cat addiction. Cats are so fascinating with their little quirks and funny personalities. I truly enjoy every minute spent a cat graces me with their presence. I've been consistently around cats since I was 6 years old, so right around 25 years. I can provide shots to your kitties too, if they need them for medical reasons. As for dogs, I'm very new to them as I've never had my own. But I was a dog walker for one summer. I'm a very quick learner and a lover of all animals! Pet sitting is my top priority, so I'm happy to be there for you and your babies. Let me know what you expect, and I'll do my best to make it happen! Happy to provide feeding and a clean litter box (or a walk for the doggies) as often as you and your little buddies require. Currently studying up on pet CPR in best interest in the worst case scenarios. Of course play time is a must!
“Wendy really helped us out on very short notice. We were stuck out of town and I reached out on very short notice and she was able to stop by and feed and care for my kitties. Thank you Wendy!”
“Emily is so reliable and exactly who we needed for my first time away from my 8 month old kitten. Even though it was a last minute request, Emily made time to come over for an initial meet/introduction.”
“I have 100 % peace of mind with Jennifer. Super responsive and really on top of everything that you ask for your pets needs. There's absolutely nothing I could ask for better from Jennifer. Top notch care when Jennifer is in charge of caring for your pets.”
“Kinan regularly checks in with my pup and is always consistent and reliable. Definitely safe to say my dog has a new friend, very relieving to be able to trust Kinan with my guy!”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for animal friends for as long as I can remember. In our family, we had everything from dogs to rodents, and since being in high school, I’ve worked at rescue sanctuaries, ranches, grooming salons, and kennels. I’ve been a trusted volunteer at various animal shelters in the last 10 years, including Reno-based rescues that permit me to take dogs out on “dates” for the day. I also currently focus my professional work on animal rights and welfare. I love all creatures and I’m dedicated to ensuring the best care possible 💜 I work a PT in-person job, while the rest of the week I work from home. I have a flexible schedule to work with pet-sitting needs. Most consistent availability is early mornings/evenings. I can adjust to your and your pet’s individual needs and preferences. I have experience caring for different breeds, sizes, (and species), and can adapt accordingly!
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. I will use leashes and any other equipment needed to take care of your pet responsibly.
“I couldn't have been happier with the service provided by Alexius. She really came through for me when my neighbor canceled last minute. She was very professional and a pleasure to meet. Lula also loved her which is the most important. She is also a Vet tech so you know she's passionate about animals and knows the signs and symptoms if your pet happens to be under the weather while you're gone. Don't think twice about booking her, if she can watch your pet you'll be very pleased and so will your pet!”
About: Detail-Oriented Pet Sitter 🐾💕 I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and come from a family of devoted dog and cat people! I have a 16 year old Westie-poo🐶💕 She’s sensitive to touch and wasn’t very socialized when she was younger, so I’ve spent her life learning her preferences, respecting her boundaries, and advocating for what helps her feel safe and comfortable. She taught me that every pet has their own personality, communication style, routines, and quirks! I also understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I know firsthand how reassuring it is to receive updates and know that your pet’s individual needs are being respected. I’d love to provide that same peace of mind to other pet parents. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped family members care for small- to medium-sized dogs through boarding, walks, playtime, companionship, and everyday care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and instructions closely so they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home! 🐾 Currently home full-time (when I'm not volunteering at Nevada Humane Society Shelter) and am available to meet you and your pup to schedule drop-ins and walks. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care! 🐶💕 I’m generally available from the morning through the late afternoon on weekdays, as well as Saturdays. My availability can vary slightly from week to week, so feel free to reach out with what you need, I’d love to see if I can make it work! 💌🐾 🏡 I live in a spacious, clean apartment with **no pets of my own**, so your pup gets my full attention! 🐶💕 I have a large enclosed balcony for (supervised) fresh air time 🌤️🐾 and a huge dog park nearby for walks, exercise, and enrichment! 🌳🐕
About: I currently live in a two downstair bedroom apartment with access to the patio and yard. I currently have one dog, a Norwegian Elkhound. We go for about 1hrs walks daily and go out hiking almost every weekend. I have experience with all sizes (small, medium, large, x-large). I also babysat several of my friends' dogs at my apartment and I have also gone to their houses to dog sit. I have also done multiple walks with multiple dogs. I am willing to walk multiple dogs, go to someone's house to house sit/ dog sit, and willing to dog sit overnight for multiple days. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns for me. I work full time from 8-5 M-F. But I'll sometimes come home for lunch and if required I can always come home to take the dog out. I can also dog walk during the day as I use it for my lunch time. I try to make them as comfortable as I can. If staying with me, I have multiple dog beds, water bowls, and toys they can use. I have a big crate if that is needed. I also have gates to block off areas that they get into or where they don't need to be in. I do live downstairs and access to the patio and yard. I always leash them if we are going out this way since it isn't fenced.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sparks
Shelly is amazing, really did an Amazing job. She did everything we asked of her and was truly concerned for our animals. We were worried about leaving our 17 yr old senior dog, but she took extra care. She sent pictures of our babies and checked in everyday with updates. This was our first time using a sitter, and it went perfectly.
Rebekkah did an excellent job checking in on our pups while we were out of town. She gave updates every check in and she was even kind enough to come by multiple times before we left to meet the pups to make sure everyone was comfortable before we left. We would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sparks is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,024 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sparks. 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.
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 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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
