“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.”
“Mike stayed with both of our pups while my husband and I had an overnight and did a great job. Our puppy can be a handful and our older girl suffers from some anxiety… both pups have looked for him every morning! He is very attentive with both dogs and is very patient with all of my instructions😀 we will continue to have Mike watch our babies… pretty soon he may be their favorite human!”
“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!”
“Jovelle took such great care of my two dogs and two cats: everyone was happy and healthy when I got home, and no one seemed stressed out or lonely. Her daily communications and photos were great and kept me connected to my fur babies.. She left the house neat and tidy and she was an excellent house guest. I would highly recommend her and hope to have her house sit again.”

I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”
“Yesenia is an actual angel! We booked with her last minute. We met prior to traveling and I immediately trusted her. She is so sweet and sent pictures daily and was always available when I messaged her! When we came home the house was spotless and our boys were so happy. :) we will definitely use her again!”
“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’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I am currently enrolled in a Surgical Technology program. For the next few months, my coursework is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including overnight stays when needed.

About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed. I love all animals & I look forward to caring for your fur (if they have fur) babies ❤️ I work full time and usually have 3 days off at the end of my week (Thursday-Saturday) I do have availability daily after 6:30 pm. I am very vigilant and observant, I like to be aware of surroundings for your pets safety, I will also have a form signed for your pets well being in case of an emergency or any other urgent reasoning.
About: I have two dogs, one who I am currently going through the process of behavioral modification and one who recently crossed the rainbow bridge in February. At home I have always been the caretaker giving them food, cleaning after them, bathing them, and seeking medical advice if I noticed something was off. I’m generally detail oriented and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I also have had other pets as well including fish, chickens, and canaries so I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I try to research any of the problems they experience myself and come up with a course of action with how to deal with them keeping in mind costs, effectiveness, and safety. My dogs are my running buddies and when I have the chance I like going hiking with them, taking them to swim, and even sitting around a campfire with them. I’m currently a pre-health student who’s going to be available on weekends, mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and soon I will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays in the afternoon. I am on a weight loss journey so it helps me to excercise your dog too. Depending on the day and on the pets needs I would give them potty breaks. As for water it’s better to wait until after they get back home and cool down from the walk so they don’t get gastric dialiation, unless they really need it.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, my mom is a vet and I’ve learned a lot from her. I promise I will take care of them like if they were my own!

About: "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." Having to leave your pups in someone else's care can be unnerving, I know firsthand because I have had to use the service. Our pups are our family members and we want to ensure they are well taken care of. I invite you and your pup over to meet us and see our home. Your furbaby will be treated as family here. We have a 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier Mix that simply adores his playtime with other dogs, as well as a 4 year old female Italian Greyhound Mix. We allow them and guest pups full reign of the house and backyard. They have their own room to sleep in at night so we do not need to crate, however we welcome you to bring your pup’s for their comfortability. We take at least one long walk a day and visit various dog parks occasionally. "Dogs do speak but only to those who know how to listen." - Orhan Pamuk I work full time but only have to go to the office Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’ll be home all other days of the week! I am a longtime dog lover with a ton of home boarding experience. We welcome your pups with open arms and accept almost all nonaggression dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
Paulo is amazing! He is very responsible and responsive, and kept me updated the entire time I was away with plenty of pictures and videos of my dog. He stayed at my home and made sure to leave everything tidy and clean. I truly recommend Paulo, he is extremely friendly, and my dog absolutely loved him!
Paulo stayed with our babies for a little over a week. They both have health issues that can be annoying to anyone and I felt like they were being loved while I was gone. He was very communicative while we were away and I had peace of mind knowing what was going on. He sent a lot of videos of the dogs having a great time, and he asked questions when they were doing abnormal things. He even went out of his way to pick up a heavy bag of dog food because I hadn’t planned their food very well. And he restocked other things in the house that I didn’t expect him to like doggy wipes and paper towels. On top of that he washed all of the sheets and blankets before I got back. Thank you Paulo 😊
I had a great experience with this sitter! Antonio was so nice and responsive, keeping me updated throughout the stay. The pups were clearly well taken care of and happy. He left the house clean and followed instructions provided. Will definitely be using Antonio again!
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.
<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 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 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.
