You should always ask a prospective sitter if their City and County have any restrictions with Pitbull breeds.

A good sitter should be familiar with their cities Animal Control regulations. If they cannot tell you, you can typically call a City Hall office and inquire yourself. Restricted breeds will be listed in these documents as well as what the protocol is for an "at-large" (loose) dog. If the Pitbull is restricted and your dog would happen to get loose, there could be some complications if Animal Control is called.

Please note this is not a Rover requirement, I just think that in general a good sitter needs to be very familiar with how the animal control processes work in their area.

Rover does not have any breed restrictions but some sitters might. Unfortunately certain cities or areas have breed selective legislation in place so unfortunately when you are looking for a sitter for a pitbull you will have to make sure they are allowed in the area you are looking for.

I would gladly take your fur baby if I was closer!
