“We got daily updates on Millie for the almost 2 weeks we were out of town for our wedding. Millie was excited to see Dustin when he arrived, which of course makes us happy and comfortable to see. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: I grew up with a husky dog throughout my entire childhood and I am now a proud cat owner. Huskies can be particularly difficult dogs to walk, and I have been walking them for as long as I can remember. My parents considered our dog as a part of the family and always provided an abundance of love and activity. I have taken the same approach with my cats and I love every moment. I have had my older cat, Iris, for 5 years and I rescued a kitten, Aster, almost 2 months ago. My connection with the pets in my life drives my love for all of the pets that I provide care to. I love puppies and kittens, antics and all. I enjoy walking, hiking, and playing with dogs. Being a cat owner, I have a wonderful time hanging out with cats. Whether they love to play, just want pets, or even take a while to warm up to people, I’m here for it. I am most available Sunday-Thursday. Friday and Saturday can work for specific situations. Sunday: all day Monday: before 5 pm Tuesday: all day Wednesday: before 5 pm Thursday: all day Friday: before 2 pm Saturday: available for house sitting for the right situation. Send me a message and we can discuss if it’s a good fit. I absolute LOVE to play and will be good company for a dog. I am mindful, and will be sure to give them lots of potty breaks. I am also an out doors person so walks are no problem! I approach every cat slowly and allow them to make the first move. Once we break the ice, I love engaging in play with interactive toys or providing pets based off of what the cat wants.
“Danika was available lastly minute and I couldn’t be happier. She did an amazing job caring for our pups. She was thorough and caring, gave lots of cuddles, walks, and provided pics. She was great to communicate with and I felt at ease knowing she was there.”
“Cynder is the best! We use her anytime we leave town. Rico hurt his leg during a stay and Cynder was communicative with us and took extra care for him. I’d recommend her to everyone to take care of your babies. She treats them as her own!”
“Jessica did great! She connected with our special needs senior dog, and our social cats. She kept in touch with daily updates and pictures. She even watch for packages, and offered to cleaned the sheets she used. Super sweet animal lover! Glad our paths crossed! She is on our corner, and I plan to work with Jessica again.”
“Michael does an exceptional job attending to the daily needs of my dogs, but just as important to them are the number of walks and fetch time they get. As always, they are happy to see me arrive home, but lay around waiting for Michael to arrive even after I've been home a few days. That is the sign of a good sitter. My house is always left in equal or better condition than when I left which is so much appreciated. Thanks again, Michael, for another over and above experience!”
“Christ is very attentive and responsible. He checked in every day with photos of our sweet pooch. He also watched the house. Left everything just the way it was when we left it. Chris is a kind, trustworthy person whom I would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Sofia has gone above and beyond caring for our 4 dogs while we were out of town. Her sweetness and attention to detail with our dogs, made us feel not worried. Usually our dog Feebs barks at sitters, and she didn’t with Sofia. We would definitely love to bring her to sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
“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.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Carla provided for our two cats while we were away for a week! Carla was attentive, and reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our cats warmed up to her quickly, and it was clear they were well taken care of when we returned home. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be reaching out again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“Super sweet, and took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She instantly felt like family, and took care of my babies like her own. I will DEFINITELY be using her again when I come to this area visiting family.”
“Tracy was so communicative and attentive with our big special pitbull. He requires extra care and caution with his reactivity and we felt safe leaving him in her hands. She sent us tons of updates every day and asked thoughtful questions about what he needed. We even met a few times before she watched him to make sure she had all the info needed and to make sure we were on the same page. I felt like Tracy really cared about our dogs well being and took the responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Tracy and Richard to look after your furry friends!”
“Janet is an All Star! I was hesitant to get a pet sitter, but meeting Janet immediately put me at ease. She was great with communication, trustworthy and professional. But, most important, my little anxious puppy is still looking for her after she left! I will rebook with Janet again.”
“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.”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sparks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sparks on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 726 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.

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.
