“Jessica took great care of our two pups, bunny, fish, AND house, houseplants, etc etc! We were away for two full weeks and her regular pics and updates let us feel confident our boys were all being well taken care of. Will definitely book Jessica again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Martha had an overnight stay with my 2 fur boys. She communicated a lot through pictures throughout her stay and it gave me great comfort that they were being well looked after. I was very happy with my experience in having Martha care for my animals and would definitely hire her again.”
“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! 🐾”
About: I love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have a dachshund of my own, so I understand how much pets mean to their families and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I just finished graduate school and have some downtime before starting my new job, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, care, and companionship! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away! I have a fenced yard and a dachshund of my own who loves other dogs! I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and at home.
“Fantastic dog sitter. My dog is extremely picky over who he likes and he warmed up to Ruby very fast. She took great care of him and my home. She’s very attentive to what your dog needs and sends pictures every day. The dog isn’t starved for attention, the house is clean, and I’m very satisfied.”
“Diane was wonderful all around. Diane is a very gentle and caring caregiver and worked out perfect for Archie. She sent lots of pictures and overall it was a wonderful experience. Very tidy and thoughtful with feedback. We will use Diane's services again.”
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!
“Miranda did a fantastic job with my Dax. Was worried about leaving my boy with just anybody but Miranda gave me daily updates and this really put my mind at ease and was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying how my Dax was doing. I needed to stay an extra day and this was not a problem for Miranda. I would recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a sitter. I’ll be using her again in a couple of weeks”
“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.”
About: I grew up learning how to train and manage dogs in the home, I’ve cared for animals my whole life and trained multiple dogs. I currently care for many pets in my own home including reptiles, invertebrates, fish, and a dog. I also love caring for plants. I am a very respectful and non judgement person. I wake up usually around 10 am but am comfortable waking up earlier if needed. I have my own dog and usually walk her when I wake up, again mid day, and once again before I leave for my optional night job. I also have tank lights and water dishes I check morning and night. I could do stop in care during Friday-Sunday and more full time care Monday-Thursday. If your pet loves to play I am more than happy to keep them entertained, I also have a medium dog compression sweater that I can supply if you have a dog that has anxiety. I understand most pet body language and can know when your pet needs comfort, play, potty, or space.
“Eshanki was great with our cats! They looked happy and relaxed when we got back. She sent daily photos and updates that really put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were in good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“Haylee was wonderful. She was attentive during the meet and greet while I showed her around and how to care for the dogs. She was prompt in her arrival. My dogs seemed happy and fed upon my arrival. The house was just as I left it so Haylee seemed very respectful and considerate of the place. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 - had two german shepherds and a rottweiler growing up. Moved to Reno for my bachelor's and master's degrees. Currently have a pitbull step-child that I have helped raised since 2020. I am a quick learner and have high attention to detail. I think pets are angels on earth, and deserve all the love and cuddles that they can get. I am currently in a masters social work program, have an internship 3 days a week out in Minden, and I teach Spanish online for UNR. I really need a flexible schedule so that I am not overwhelmed with all my responsibilities and taking care of pets would give me that flexibility. I am free Saturday-Monday at any time of the day and open in the evenings Wednesday-Friday. I try to be as flexible and as reasonable as possible, and I really appreciate direct communication. I am very respectful and mindful of other peoples' privacy and space and I know that it can be worrisome letting a stranger into your home/safe space. I will do whatever you ask me to do in regards to making sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I do not mind administering medications or physical activities. I can also send pictures as check-in points and/or if there are any issues or concerns.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sparks
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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
