“Jacelyn house sat and took care of our two cats for almost two weeks while we were gone and did an amazing job. She gave our babies all the love and care we could have asked for and was so respectful of our house! We have one cat who has specific dietary needs and she was great with that as well. We were looking for someone who would be able to spend time with our babies and not just stop by for 20 minutes a day and she went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend her and we will be rebooking again for our future trips. She also sent us lots of updates and pictures everyday. Jacelyn is the best and so sweet!”
“Porter was awesome with the dogs! We can tell they had a great time with him. I really appreciated his flexibility and even the offer to let the dogs out later in the day if we ran into trouble with travels! Overall just wonderful and so glad to have found someone so trustworthy for our pups!”
“My Doggies are very nervous with people and they seemed to be more comfortable with Emely. She left me a clean house as I left it. And took good care of my Doggies per my instructions . We were able to discuss a schedule that would be best for my babies. She texted me and sent me cute photos regularly. Thanks so much Emely. I would book again.”

About: Hi! I’m Carlee- a wife, mom, and animal lover! Our family has a one year old Golden Retriever named Sonny, who keeps us active, entertained, and smiling every day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. As we all know, they’re not “just pets”, they’re family. My goal is to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give Sonny. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and over night stays in the comfort of your pets own home. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets. I’d love to get to know them, learn their routines and personalities, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away 🤎🐶🐈 I’m a mom with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and lots of attention throughout the week. I love getting outside for walks and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family.
“We were really nervous about leaving our anxious dog while we traveled. Toby house sat her and our two cats and was so patient with her, gave us regular updates on how she was doing, and let her warm up slowly. We were so relieved that it was a good experience for our nervous dog and grateful to Toby for keeping her comfortable.”
About: I am troustworthy and reliable animal lover, this is how I got recruited into dog sitting years ago. I have experience with both large and small adult dogs. I also am a cat whisperer! I am an active person, so if your doggo needs some exercise and play time, I'm there to wear them out! I like to remain in touch with owners by sending photos and videos throughout my time with your pet, and understand that sometimes plans change or flights get delayed- no worries as I am a super flexible problem solver who will make sure your furry friend is well taken care of in your abscence! I'm new to Reno and am taking a break from my career, so my schedule is very much open and flexible! Let me know if you have special scheduling requests or even last minute needs! You can trust me to show up, communicate, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and fed in your absence. I most certainly will do my best to take care of whatver special needs your pet has. They will get all the attention and loving needed. I can also provide cleaning or grocery shopping services so your home is nice and clean upon your return (for additional fee).
“I was so happy with the care from Rachel. I needed someone last minute and she came to my house in under an hour. She stayed the night and my 7 month old puppy was in great hands. I was happy with how she left our home and will be using her a lot more in the future. I highly recommend her if you want your animals to get some love and trusting someone in your home!”
“10/10 Experience having Kaleigh & Bryant in my home watching my dogs for the weekend! They always leave the house so nice & clean & my dogs absolutely love spending time with them!”
“Taylor was fantastic for our two senior dogs. She checked in and sent pics regularly and loved up on our babies. She gave the necessary prescription medication to one of our pups. Overall great, would rebook”
About: I have experience caring for my two cats and understand the importance of giving pets love, attention, and a safe environment. I’ve also babysat dogs before, so I’m comfortable spending time with different pets and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I will make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their home. I’ll follow their normal routines, keep their environment clean and secure, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, food, and fresh water. I’ll also make sure doors and gates are secure and treat every pet with patience and care.
“Gabby was the best house/dog sitter for our 11 year old Foxhound. Our dog has a fear of storms. Gabby understood and took great care of her. She is very detailed and sends lots of pics to reassure us our pet is doing well. We will hire Gabby many more times.”

“Arrived when she said she would, was attentive to my instructions, pictures of my pups relaxing...House was as I left it. I would recommend and use her services again.”
“She was as wonderful as her past reviews were. Very good at communicating with us and feeling great that we left our dog with someone we could trust. First time user with Rover.com. Definitely will be a repeated customer with Chandler 😊”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. From a Yorkie to a German shepherd I've been around different sizes Love to go for hikes or walks. Water days are always fun as well. I would like to walk dogs full time. My schedule is pretty open. Nothing after 1700. I'm open to weekends if we talk about it prior. I deal with reactive dogs a lot. If dogs don't know each other I tend to just handle one dog at a time. Some dogs just don't get along with others like people.

Angie is so loved by my dog I’m actually jealous ! If Dawnko could type he would absolutely tell of many wonderful things. I trust her completely, with may dig, my home, with any need. She iis organized and responsive which I greatly appreciate. Dogs cannot lie, nor pretend. When they love it is real. Angie is loved.
Jackie is the best dogsitter I've ever hired! She took my 3 pups on lots of hikes and walks, and they were SO happy and tired when I got back from my trip. She even cleaned my yard and house of her own volition, which was a really lovely surprise to come home to. Def hiring her again!
Megan was absolutely amazing!! She was so understanding to my need for several visits in advance so my dog could become comfortable with her and she took amazing care of him while I was out of town so I didn’t need to worry about him at all. I received great daily updates and pictures and felt very at ease during my vacation. I am very grateful and will be using her again. Thank you Megan!
Nina is now our go to pet sitter. Her care & attention to our pets is beyond our expectations. She’s a great communicator & always sends the cutest pictures so we can see how happy our pets are. Our pets truly love when Nina comes to spend time with them. We are so grateful that Nina cares for our pets & our home just as we do. We can enjoy our time away without worrying knowing Nina is there lovingly caring for our pets & home.
Jo is super sweet and friendly, took such amazing care of my little dog, she sent me updates and photos as well which eased any anxiety i had. She also left my home in great condition and i came back from my vacation to see my dog in a happy mood. I would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone!!
I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found Ella! She took such wonderful care of my two Frenchies, treating them like they were her own family. She also respected my home as if it were her own, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Ella, it was an amazing experience. She kept me updated throughout her stay, checked in regularly, and sent lots of adorable pictures. Knowing my pups were safe, happy, and so well cared for made it easy to enjoy my time away. Ella stayed overnight with our Frenchies for 7 nights and 8 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be booking with this amazing young woman again. Highly recommend!
Ginny was great - she came over to our apartment for a meet & greet prior to booking so she could get to know our pups, and when I accidentally messed up the apartment #/door code she handled it with ease. Our boys were so calm when we got home and our place looked great. Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sparks is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $90 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sparks walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sparks maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.

- 97% 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.
