“Paulo was excellent with my dogs. Very friendly guy and very punctual. Sent tons of videos/photos of him doting on my two dogs. Will definitely be using him again when I go or of town.”
“Jimena did a great job with my sweet but neurotic cats (and their neurotic owner)! I was nervous about going out of town because the cats had recently been demonstrating some changes in appetite. Jimena sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my mind, and she was vigilant in reporting back to me about the cats’ meals and bathroom habits. My shy kitty also seemed to warm up to Jimena quicker than she usually does with new people!”

“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I’ve known Vicky for sometime now and she’s always been mature, responsible and a pet lover. So when I found out she does pet sitting, it was a no brainer that I’d be booking with her. She was communicative and was definitely invested in caring for my cats. Especially my senior who requires oral meds. My youngest cat warmed up to her so quickly to my surprise!! Definitely will book with her again.”
“Isaiah took great care of our 9 month old puppy Jasper. This was the first time we'd left Jasper for more than 2 days. Jasper is an energetic pup and he was happy and healthy when we returned. Isaiah stayed at our house and watered the potted plants and collected the mail while we were gone, he even had to deal with a clogged toilet. Thank You Isaiah”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tina, who cared for our dog Berkeley for two weeks while we were on vacation. From the start, she took the time to meet with me for a meet-and-greet, which really helped ensure it was a good fit for everyone—especially considering the specific needs of our elderly dog. While we were away, Tina communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending photos and videos that gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to see that Berkeley was comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. Tina stayed in our home during that time, and we returned to everything just as we had left it—clean, organized, and clearly well respected. It was such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-kept house. I would absolutely trust Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! When we first met her, my Pup Lois went to her immediately wanting to play. This was a great sign. While we were away, I was completely at ease with Jennifer caring for both my pup and my kitty cat. My cat is 21 years old and pretty frail but Jennifer took extra time and care make sure she got what she needed. She was communicative with us throughout our trip, sending messages and photos. And when we got home, I could tell that both of my fur babies were well cared for. Jennifer is very sweet and thoughtful and I trusted her completely in my home. This was the first time I used a pet sitter from Rover and it was a complete win!
Antonio and his partner were absolutely wonderful with my dog! My pup is a high energy 120+ lb rescue with past negative experiences with humans so he has a tendency to be very slow to trust new people. He picks up on fear or hesitation immediately, which usually makes him leery. From the start, Antonio was patient, calm, and let my dog approach at his own pace until he felt safe. To my surprise, my dog took to both Antonio and his partner right away! They are warm, gentle, and remarkably perceptive, adjusting their approach to match the dog's needs. It is clear they genuinely love animals, and I think dogs pick up on that authentic energy. Because they were able to tag-team, they kept my dog’s routine consistent and ensured he was never left alone for long. They played with him, sent regular updates and photos, responded quickly, and even got him some new toys. The video they sent the first day gave me complete peace of mind and I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. I am so grateful for this experience and cannot recommend Antonio enough!

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 Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg 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.

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.
