About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.
About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine/pet care for about 3 years. I take my role in pet care very seriously, and ensure that each pet is treated like my own. From small cats to large dogs I’m confident and happy to provide love and care to any pet. I currently have fairly open availability everyday. Please feel free to contact me directly to ensure our schedules align and that care needs can be met. I don’t not currently offer care in my home however, when caring for you pet in your home I will treat everything with respect and ensure your pets comfort and safety to the best of my ability.
“First time using Rover and I was very nervous. Khine sent lots of photo updates and was very considerate of my dogs needs. I think my pup had fun and I would definitely recommend Khine to others!”
“Amazing, dog sat for me last minute and her attention to detail was very comforting. I felt very safe, leaving my dog with her and I’m very grateful that she was able to take care of Indy. If needed I will definitely hire her again. Thanks Shelby”
“Cindy helped us through a very complicated time. It was her first time sitting rabbits (we have two) and she was going to just be doing daily drop-ins with them. While we were out of town, the Hawk fire evacuated our home and she took the bunnies into her home until the evacuation was lifted. We are so grateful for her and her families support and flexibility. Thank you Cindy!”
“I couldn’t recommend Hallie enough! We hired her to do drop-in visits for our cat while we were out of town, and she and her kids took great care of him. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable providing extra care, medication, mobility assistance, and lots of love and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently available and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs and can accommodate different schedules and routines. With my years of experience caring for dogs—including senior and disabled dogs—I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing them with the attention and care they need. My own dogs are walked every day and are very loved and spoiled. They are both seniors, so I’m experienced with providing them the extra attention, patience, and care that older dogs need. I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and tended to according to their individual needs. I have a large house with a fenced in yard.
“Rebekkah did drop-ins for our chickens and garden! She is so thorough, we enjoyed the updates she sent and the cute photos. We really appreciated her and highly recommend!!”
“Devin was awesome. He was available on very short notice (same day) and was also available to extend the drop in visits off short notice as well with no hesitation. He was consistent with notes, concerns and routes daily & took his time to make sure our dog Juno felt comfortable. We were very pleased with Devin and will be sure to book with him again in the future.”
“Sarah was prompt and attentive. She made our trip away so much easier knowing she was with our dogs. She sent photos as requested and was easy to reach. She was very responsive when we checked in and flexible when out trip unexpectedly got extended by a day. I would highly recommend Sarah and plan on using her for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you Sarah!”
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!
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 15, starting with my first family dog. During summer and winter breaks, I cared for street dogs in Mexico, which required a lot of patience and taught me how to build trust with animals who don't come with a known history. Malena, the dog in my profile photo, was one of those street dogs. I took her in at age 5 and cared for her for a decade, until she passed two years ago. She taught me what real, consistent care for senior dog looks like. I bring this kind of attention to every dog walk and visit I take on. I work weekdays but come home at lunch for a potty break and I'm home by 2:45 p.m., so your dog is never alone more than about 4 hours. Great option for overnight boarding and evening walks or visits during the weekdays and more open during the weekend. I'm located in Midtown, just a 5 minute drive from the airport and 3 minutes from the freeway, so drop-off is easy whether you're catching a flight or hitting the road. You'll get daily photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy your trip! I have a fully fenced yard so I love letting dogs run free if it is safe for them to do so. I’m attentive and ensure pups are given enough exercise and space for rest and relaxation on a regular basis.
“Sherina went above and beyond taking care of my fur babies. I will absolutely look to Sherina again and greatly appreciate her excellent communication and skill around working with my sugar gliders and cats.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I always make sure they get attention, love, and proper care. I’m available Friday evenings after 6 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. During those times, I can give your pets my full attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
“did a great job with my pets, very friendly and asks lots of questions during the meet and greet. only thing to be aware of if your animal is on a tight schedule is that she was late to the visits.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I grew up with dogs, mostly larger breeds, including my most recent dog who is around 120 pounds. I’ve also had cats my whole life and currently have four, along with experience caring for birds, lizards, and other animals. Most of my pets have been rescues or animals that needed extra patience and care. My dog Delta was very nervous and fearful when we adopted her from the pound, and my dog Boone had been abused and was initially very afraid of men. These experiences taught me how important it is to be patient, respect an animal’s boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. I’m currently in college and away from my own pets, so pet sitting is a great way for me to get my animal fix while giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I’m currently a college student who also works part-time, so my schedule has plenty of flexibility. I’m able to work with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I love having the opportunity to spend my free time with animals, and I’m happy to give your furry family member plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away! I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I know being away from their people can be stressful, so I’ll do my best to make things feel as normal and comfortable as possible. I can follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while also giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for just like I would want my own pets to be.
“Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.”
About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sparks is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sparks
Shelly is amazing, really did an Amazing job. She did everything we asked of her and was truly concerned for our animals. We were worried about leaving our 17 yr old senior dog, but she took extra care. She sent pictures of our babies and checked in everyday with updates. This was our first time using a sitter, and it went perfectly.
Sidney was excellent. She asked very intelligent questions about the meds for it senior cat, the kennel setup, water etc. she was very responsive to our questions before starting, and the cats were back to their usual hijinks with in minutes of us returning home. It was clearly much less stress on our senior cat. A better overall experience than the boarding house we've previously used. I would highly recommend Sidney and will be booking her again for our next trip in a few months.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
