About: Hi there! My name is Alex 😊. I’m a stay at home mom with 4 kiddos who love doggies just as much as I do! At our house your dog will be a part of our family. We welcome all dog sizes and breeds. Our backyard is spacious and full of outdoor fun for your fur baby. I provide alot of daily updates with photos so your mind can be kept at ease. As a stay at home mom, I'm available every day of the week to give your dog plenty of attention. At my home your dog will have tons of room to run around in our big, fenced backyard. All dogs are treated with love, cuddles and care 🐾 and are always allowed to roam freely. We also go on walks pretty regularly. My friendly golden retriever Adley, is super social and loves making new buddies (Especially chasing each other) but she also has a reserved personality indoors and will lounge around and hang out which is perfect for dogs with a laid back personality. We're a family with kids who understand doggy boundaries but also enjoy some gentle interaction. I've worked with dogs who might be a little skittish and need a calm patient approach as well as those who simply enjoy to just lounge and hang out! ♥️ I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering medication (even for pups with conditions like cancer) so you can trust your pups will be well taken care of. 🐾 Please note that for the safety and comfort of all our guests, I am unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression. Our family loves and welcomes puppies! Although pups who aren’t fully pottytrained , will require a crate for their stay to ensure a comfortable and accident free environment for everyone. (Please note they are only crated for bedtime or if I need to leave the house for a quick errand) Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile! I look forward to meeting your awesome dog! 🐾🐾🐾 🚨To make sure your dog gets just the right amount of food, please provide clear instructions on how much to feed at each meal (example: 1 cup twice a day). This is super important for your dog's health and helps avoid any issues or misunderstandings for both of us. If you pre portion the food, that's great too! 🦮 Important note regarding dog walks : I love to provide walks for your babies. Walks depend on the weather but are given every day. If it is too hot during the day expect a walk given in the evening/night time. Please note for the safety and the best experience I cannot accommodate dogs who consistently pull excessively on the leash. If significantly pulling occurs during a walk, I will discontinue that part of my service and focus on other alternatives of exercise such as (outdoor play or indoor stimulation) Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to be very flexible with pet care. Your dog's needs will be integrated into our daily flow, whether it's adjusting walk times or providing consistent attention. 🐾😊 When your dog stays with me, they're welcomed into our daily life. This includes playtime in our backyard, regular walks, and a cozy spot inside where they can feel at home and get the attention they need. Please know that I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort at all times they will never be left outside unattended if the weather is too hot 🥵 or too cold. 🥶

“Sanjuanita did an amazing job taking care of Raven! She took her on walks, let her play outside, and gave Raven her meds when needed. Sanjuanita also provided lots of pics and updates during my time away. I felt assured Raven was well taken care of. I would definitely reach out to her for next trip out of town!”

I can care for many different types and sizes of dogs and all different levels of energy!

About: Hey! I’m Christopher, a dependable and experienced pet sitter offering in-home care for both cats and dogs. I specialize in house sitting, daily drop ins, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleanup, playtime, and basic care routines. While I can’t host pets in my own home, I’m more than happy to care for them in yours where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important it is to keep your pets relaxed, cared for, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether it’s a high energy dog who needs a good walk or a shy cat who just needs someone calm around, I adapt to their vibe and give them the attention they need. Your pets get care that’s reliable, respectful, and low-stress and you get peace of mind I’m available most times throughout the day and week, so I’m able to easily fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s a morning walk, afternoon visit, or overnight stay, I’m flexible and reliable. I plan around your pet’s needs to make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable, no matter the time I focus on keeping your pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine and environment. In your home, I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, get plenty of attention, and of course — walks, playtime, or quiet company depending on their vibe. I respect your space and always leave it clean and just as I found it. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in or staying overnight, I treat your pets like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love (and maybe a few treats, if they’re allowed 🐾

About: I’ve spent my life around animals with a lifelong interest and love for them, from volunteering at shelters in my youth to working with wild horses and on conservation projects. More recently, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and hospitals since last August, including my time as a vet assistant at Wadsworth Animal Hospital. With two biology degrees and a background in clinical care, I’m very comfortable with medical needs, senior pets, and specialized care. I treat every pet with the same professional attention and genuine heart I give my own dog of 5 years 💛 I’m currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, and I can accommodate house sitting easily. My schedule allows for frequent check-ins and plenty of one-on-one playtime and attention. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. Between my hospital background and years of caring for my own dog, I'm super observant about their moods, wellbeing, body language, and comfort. I'm quick to spot if something is off, and I'm very comfortable with meds or special medical needs. I love keeping their routines exactly how they like them so they (and you!) feel safe and happy while you’re away.

“Toni did an outstanding job watching our 12 year old Labradoodle, Daisy, for a week. She was super attentive to our needs that included watering and caring for a vegetable garden and many flowering plants in our yard. Daisy has a couple health conditions related to her age and Toni followed all our instructions regarding her care perfectly. We came home to a happy healthy pupper and the house & yard looked great! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and as a cat owner myself, I understand just how different every pet’s personality and routine can be. I especially love caring for cats—from the outgoing ones who want constant attention and playtime to the shy ones who prefer to approach on their own terms. I have experience caring for pets ranging from just a few weeks old to seniors, as well as administering oral medications and caring for pets with special needs. I always do my best to follow your pet’s normal feeding, litter, medication, play, and sleep routines so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Communication is very important to me. I send detailed updates and plenty of photos so you know how your pet is eating, behaving, using the litter box, playing, and adjusting while you’re gone. I also genuinely enjoy taking great pictures of the pets I care for—you may come home with a few new favorite photos! My own pets are part of my family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave yours in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. My availability changes throughout the year, and I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect when I am accepting bookings. When I am available, I am happy to help with cat drop-ins, cat boarding, and other pet-care needs that fit my schedule. Feel free to send me your dates, your pet’s routine, and any special care instructions when submitting a request. For repeat clients, please feel free to reach out even if you have a last-minute need. If I am available, I am always happy to help! I have a pet-friendly, non-smoking home and take introductions, routines, and safety very seriously. For cats boarding in my home, I understand that entering a new environment can be stressful. I give visiting cats time and space to adjust and never force interaction. I follow their normal feeding and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of appropriate attention, playtime, and quiet time based on their individual personality. I have resident pets of my own, so before accepting a boarding request I like to learn about your cat’s temperament, previous experience around other animals, medical needs, and anything that may help make their stay more comfortable. During our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding schedules, litter habits, medications, favorite toys, hiding places, behavioral quirks, and anything else you think I should know.

About: Precious pet owner of a Saint Bernard her name was Cleo. I’ve also babysat for multiple families where I was involved sitting for their animals as well mainly dogs and cats a few times. I’m very patient with animals. I love to go on walks and have recently been a fan of running would love to get your animal out and about. I do work in an office Monday-Friday, but I go in around 9 and am out of there by 3. I have my own vehicle to go to and from and even during my lunches I’d be able to sneak away. Weekends are 90% free for me and able to accommodate. I have the apartment all to myself where you wouldn’t worry about anyone else dealing with your pet. We also have a fenced dog park in my apartment complex we’d be able to utilize.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, whether that be my personal family dogs or foster dogs that my family and I have rescued. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to be patient, attentive and responsive to their different personalities and needs. Helping care for foster dogs has also given me experience with animals that may be nervous, shy or adjusting to a new environment. I enjoy spending time with dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and making sure they feel safe, cared for and hopefully having fun! Because of all of this, I am comfortable working with dogs of different ages and sizes, all are welcome! I’m currently working part- time, so I have a plenty of time for all of the beautiful pets, I hope to come across! I’m free weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a wonderful neighborhood and apartment complex that I, myself, love walking around. As well, there’s a very big and beautiful park, less than a mile away from me. I live alone so there’s plenty of room in my apartment to chill or play around. And if your dog likes to swim, I have an apartment pool that allows dogs.

Alexis is absolutely incredible! She visited our home three times a day to feed and walk our Great Dane and Weimaraner mix, Harley. Since Harley is a large breed mix, finding someone comfortable and capable of managing her can be a challenge, but Alexis handled everything flawlessly.Knowing that Alexis is a zookeeper gave us immense peace of mind. Her professional care and expertise were evident from day one, and we felt complete confidence leaving Harley in her hands. She was incredibly reliable and constantly sent us pictures and videos, which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear Harley loved her time with Alexis! We cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again.

Toi was amazing in taking care of my babies. She made a babies feel extra special while I was gone. She would text me and send pictures to reassure me that my babies were doing well. Plus reassured me that my babies were in good hands. She also enjoyed spending time with my babies. I most definitely will be requesting her to take care of Molly and Ellie again. She also washed Molly’s and Ellie’s dishes for me and put the trash out for me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sparks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sparks is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 306 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sparks. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
