“Joyce stayed at my home over Thanksgiving. I have two energetic Border Collies. They take multiple meds and require a lot of exercise. Joyce was very thorough in her note taking about their care before I left. She stayed in communication with me. I had a great holiday knowing my boys were well taken care of. I would recommend her highly.”
“Brianna was awesome. We were lucky to find her on a short notice..Showed up on time. She gave ECHO company while we were gone to dinner. Kept us updated of his status. Thank you Brianna for taking care of ECHO. We will certainly rebook her future needs.”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“We have 4 dogs, 2 of which are almost 90lbs and only a year old, with one of the others being 13 and needing medications. Summer handled them all wonderfully and they absolutely adored her (we did too)!! Every picture we got, they were all smiling and happy and snuggling up with her. 10/10 recommend her!”
“Koda loved Ryan and they become buds real quick! This was my first time using Rover and leaving Koda with a dog sitter! He sent me updates and lots of pics everyday! Best experience and would rebook with Ryan!”
“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Another great day with Maria - time at the park, playing with other dogs and padding through the water. All was right with Bentley’s world. Thank you for taking such good care and keeping him so engaged!”
“Sudesna is awesome! She’s super communicative and my normally-anxious dog quickly bonded to her and loved her! 10/10 would love to have her dog sit in the future.”
“Morgan was fantastic. This was the first time we left new dog with a sitter. Since she's a rescue and a bit rambunctious, I was a little nervous, but after doing a meet and greet with Morgan I felt comfortable. Everything went off without a hitch. Morgan was GREAT about keeping in touch and sending phots and videos, and made sure Mattie and Tess got lots of snuggles and care. She was super conscientious about reading and following instructions. Will definitely book again for our next trip. Thanks, Morgan!”
“Erin was wonderful, she watched our dog for a week and took such great care of her and our home. She was quick to communicate updates and check in photos during her stay. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”
“Gabriyela was prompt, professional, and very patient with our senior pups. We came back to a spotless house and happy dogs. We are so appreciative of the care and service she provided!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an experienced and caring pet lover who has been around dogs and cats my entire life. Growing up, I regularly cared for pets in my neighborhood and spent much of my high school years pet sitting for local families. I’ve also worked at a pet store, which gave me additional hands-on experience and a strong understanding of pet care, safety, and different animals’ needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including young, energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention, as well as senior dogs with allergies and more specific dietary or care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, medications, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide. I work remotely and am able to switch around my schedule to best suit the needs of your pets and work around your schedule . I am able to take care of your pets and follow instructions. One thing I find important is ensuring your pet is still on their set schedule whether that includes potty breaks, crating, etc.
“This was our first time using Rover and Kat took away the stress and nervousness of leaving our dog over the weekend. She kept our house clean, loved on Zoe, took plenty of pictures, was very responsive, punctual, and overall made this a great experience for us. Thank you, Kat!!”
“The dogs love Jay - including the German Shepherd who usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. Jay is very laid back and good with the dogs. Jay played with the dogs and they were definitely not starving for attention when we returned from our overnight trip. We've already booked Jay again for an eight day trip later this month.”
“I cannot say enough about Omeria!! I have a 4 yr old rescue who can be aggressive/protective out of fear and Omeria is the only person in all her years who gave her a chance and actually worked with her. She has so much compassion and she is SO professional in how she cared for our sweet baby. I have FINALLY found a person I can trust to keep our pup and I cannot wait to have her come back!! If you need a reliable, prompt, compassionate, trustworthy, hard working and honest dog sitter.. Look. No. Further.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
Viva was amazing with my little Otis! I was out of the country and she sent me pictures everyday to let me know he was doing well and let me have my peace of mind knowing that he was happy and being loved while I was gone. She also washed the sheets and towels so everything was nice when I got home. 100% will be booking with Viva again. Could not have had a better experience :)
Sivani was a wonderful dog, cat and house sitter for us! She is honest, reliable, conscientious, timely and kind. She’s the type of person to excel at whatever She chooses to do because she wants to do it well. Our dog is pretty high maintenance and needy as he’s a cute little fluff ball and is used to being treated like the baby of the family! She took such good care of him. It was so nice to know he was in good hands while we were enjoying time away with family. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!
Sophie was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I HIGHLY recommend booking her! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and even sending questions to check in when she observed abnormal behavior (like Jack nibbling on his leg fur or Mochi and Mirage moving a door stop). She showed so much love and care, and we felt completely at ease while we were out of town because Sophie was so attentive to our fur babies. She comforted Jack during fireworks and kept him calm during the storms and also made sure Mochi and Mirage kept their feeding schedule and had clean litter boxes. Sophie is amazing!! 😻🐕
Andrea is exceptionally professional, and she was very clear and communicative throughout the booking process and stay. We appreciated all the check-ins, pictures of June (especially the great action shots of her zoomies!), and all the time Andrea spent outside with June, letting her get excercise and enjoy the sun. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog!
Jill was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for three weeks and took excellent care of our dogs. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was just as we left it. Jill was reliable, communicative, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would happily have her stay with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
I just got back from my trip and once I catch up I want to leave a more detailed review BUT for now I have to say Joyce is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond. My two wild dogs, my plants, my house, everything is happy! I don’t even know how to say it all. But she is an angel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pittsburg on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,944 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pittsburg. 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 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pittsburg. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
