“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
“Johanna was fantastic! I have a 16 year old pup and she did excellent taking care of her. I felt comfortable having her in my home and she’s great at communicating updates. I would absolutely use her again, no hesitation.”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
“Cynder was respectful and quick to respond. She sent pictures throughout the time she watched our kitties. We felt comfortable while we were away and trusted her to keep our fur babies safe! Thank you Cynder!!”
“Michael is the perfect sitter! He gave us regular updates, managed our dog’s reactivity with patience and skill, and was very accommodating to our requests. Big thanks to Michael we were able to have a stress-free and relaxing vacation knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“It’s always nerve‑racking to have a stranger in your home taking care of your baby, but Chris put us at ease on the first day. He cared for our dog in our home for 8 days and exceeded every expectation — punctual, communicative, and deeply attentive to our pup’s needs. We received updates twice a day with no fewer than 15 photos each day; the pictures were incredible — Chris could easily be a professional “pooch photographer." Chris even went as far as to bathe him. Our dog clearly loved the walks and playtime. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and compassionate; we’ll definitely book Chris again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable in‑home dog sitter.”
“Danika was very professional and kind to our pup. She sent lots of update photos and walked her as much as we asked her to. She kept us informed about how things were going and when we returned our pup was as happy as ever so I trust she was taken care of. She also kept our home clean and took out the trash for us.”
“Sherina has a calm and soothing presence that our girls loved when they met her. We felt really good about leaving them in her care. And when we arrived home, we found them happy and healthy, and our house in good order. We look forward to having Sherina care for them again soon!!”
About: Pets have always been a integral part of my life. Maybe not all my own but those close to me as well. I have taken care of many senior animals and also some with special needs. I have volunteered at Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah-the largest in the US. I work on call and set my own schedule, which provides alot of flexibility. Most of my work is at night and Saturdays. Prepared to drop in twice a day if needed. I'm always attuned to potential dangers in the house/yard and keep tabs on their whereabouts. I offer plenty of stimulation, attention, and walks.
“Nina watched our dog a two cats for a week and she was absolutely wonderful! Our dog can take awhile to warm up to new people, but Nina managed to win her over right away. She kept us up to date with messages and photos while we were away, letting us know all was well. When we returned, the house was in perfect order and it was clear that all the pets were well cared for. Nina took our dog on so many fun hiking adventures that I think she missed Nina more than us!”
“Martha did an amazing job staying with Kiwi while we went away for the weekend. She is super responsive and always kept us updated with pictures and videos. Already have her booked for our next weekend getaway! Thanks Martha!!”
“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.”
“Here’s a polished review you can post: Angie took wonderful care of our two dogs and our son’s puppy during our 12-day cruise. Managing three dogs, especially with a new puppy in the mix is no small task, but she kept them well cared for, exercised, and happy throughout our trip. Communication across time zones was occasionally a little challenging, but Angie still sent daily texts and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also ran into a few unexpected challenges at the house and did a great job troubleshooting to make sure everything stayed in order. Overall, we were very pleased with her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book Angie again. Five stars!”
“Kinan was exceptional. He took great care of our two pups, made sure the house was spotless when we arrived home, and helped us with a very big project. Can't recommend him enough, and plan to work with him again!”
“Laney did a great job with our two dogs. She sent pictures of them a couple times a day and let us know how they were behaving. My dogs are not the easiest to warm up to but Laney has the magic touch. The house looked untouched when we returned and Laney offered to stay with the dogs for additional time if our flight got cancelled due to the snow storm. Very happy with her care of our animals.”
“Janet was very attentive and thorough. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. Our dog Hollie and birds were well taken care of. Janet walked our dogs more than we asked for so she went above and beyond her scope of work. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“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!”
“Catherine was so attentive to our dog Rae! She sent plenty of pics and I also felt super comfortable with her staying in our home. She left the place perfect! Will definitely reach out to her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sparks is $60

Sherina was amazing!! I was so nervous about leaving my dogs while I was on vacation but she did an awesome job with them. They got tons of exercise and outside time. The house was clean and well kept when I returned, and my girls were happy and healthy when I got back.
Whitney was so great to our high energy Border Collie/Australian Shepherd and our big boss cat. She sent us many photos of them and kept us informed on what the gang was doing. We've had a few dog sitters that didn't met our expectations, but Whitney is one of our top favorites and will be using her again. She met with us on short notice and was happy to reach out if she had questions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sparks on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 717 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sparks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparks. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
