Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sparks
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.

Tessa was easy to communicate with, and she always responded in a timely manner. We received updates throughout the day on our babies, and she even messaged when she had a question about something. We were able to enjoy our mini-vacation with zero worries about our fur babies, whom we had to leave at home. We will definitely book with her again!

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!

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 .
