“Amazing as always. Laney takes such good care of our high needs dog. We call out sick if she isn’t available because she is our #1 person we trust with him. Thanks for all you do Laney!!”
“Sherina was WONDERFUL. She left our home like it had been untouched and our pets were clearly happy. She communicated when concerned about my senior dog needing some medicine and made me feel very at ease. I would use her over and over for any time we go out of town!”
“Martha stepped up last minute to take care of my babies for the day. Notified me when she arrived, sent pictures and let me know when she left. Made me feel better about having to be away from my kids 🐶❤️”
“Cassandra was a perfect Catsitter - she left us lovely messages every morning and evening and it really seemed like our shy kitties warmed right up to her. We would absolutely recommend her and happily have her sit for us again.”
“Danika was available on a moments notice when we had to rush back east for a family emergency. The dogs loved her and she took great care of them. They were so happy while we were gone and she kept in constant contact with pictures.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Catherine! She stayed at our home and cared for our dog Kai, and from the moment we left, we felt completely at ease. Catherine is the kind of pet sitter every dog parent dreams of finding — attentive, warm, and genuinely passionate about the animals in her care. Kai absolutely adored her. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins throughout our time away, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Catherine didn't just "watch" Kai — she loved on him, kept his routine consistent, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Our home was also left in perfect condition, which speaks volumes about the kind of person Catherine is. Trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring — she's a rare find. We will absolutely be booking her again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family. Thank you, Catherine — Kai misses you already! 🐾”
“Michael was a dream sitter! He was so professional and took care everything with our two dogs and the house. Friendly, polite and left the house clean. Our new rescue dog is afraid of most new people but Michael did great with her. Our dogs loved having him 😍 Recommend 1000%”
“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”
“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.”
“More than 5 stars! Devin was AWESOME with my difficult dog Oliver. Very communicative throughout the stay with pictures and daily updates. Followed the instructions that I left to a T! The best part was that Oliver seemed to have a great time with him (I'm sure he will post some pictures) I hope to book him again this summer if I need to go on another trip.”
“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.”
About: I absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!
“We needed a last minute sitter and Emely helped us out! She was great and communicated with us well. I know our pup can be rumbustious, but she handled her well. Thanks again!”
“Rachel was fantastic from the beginning: communication was easy, my dog was super comfortable during the pre-booking meet and greet, and the sitting went flawless. I’ll definitely try to book again next time!”
“I would definitely recommend Stevie! The pups were happy and tired out when I got home, the house and yard were spotless, even better than when I left. I got multiple updates and pictures throughout the day which put my mind at ease. I will be booking with Stevie again!”
“I had a last minute trip and needed to find a dog sitter on short notice. Not only was Vivica very quick in responding to the request, she was very accommodating to my schedule. Not only that, she did an awesome job looking after my pups. I will definitely be recommending her to others I know may need a dog sitter.”
“Bailey let me feel at ease leaving my fur baby on vacation. She sent me updates which I appreciated. All around positive experience with her as my first rover. Definitely will reach out again in the future. Thank you Bailey!”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
