“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!”
“Joyce is amazing! This is the second time we have worked with her and we couldn’t say enough good things. She goes above and beyond in care and communication. Our pup is so relaxed and happy when she is here and we have the benefit of peace of mind knowing our doggo and home are in good hands while we are away.”
“Ashley stayed with our dog Rose for a week and it was so nice to come back to a house that was well kept over and a happy dog. We’re very thankful for Ashley and will use her again!”
“We had the best experience with Gabriyela! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our boy with her. She sent us frequent updates, it was so nice. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
“Aaliyah took great care of our two dogs and home while we were away. She stayed communication with us the entire time and was very easy to work with. We will definitely use her again.”
“We have three big dogs and it's not always easy to mange them. Ryan did a great job. Especially with our "little" one, Ginny. She can be stubborn and refuse to go out for walks. She was hesitant at first, but Ryan was able to get her to come out eventually.”
“Morgan did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs. She kept them at our home for a whole week. She stayed in communication with us, and provided good care and great judgement. She left everything in good order.”
“Rachel was amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and knew she was taking the best care of my elderly dogs. She sent updates, pictures, and truly seemed to love my dogs well. She also even cared for my house and left it better than we left! I will definitely be using her again and recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate animal care-giver.”
“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.”
“Khalima helped me with the booking process, and was so sweet to my 2 cats while I was away! You can tell she really cares for animals, and made me feel very comfortable with her pet sitting for me. As she recognizes cats like routine, she stuck to the feeding instructions every time, as well as regular updates and play time, which i’m sure my cats really appreciated :)”
“Jill was absolutely fantastic with both my dog and my cat! Since they are both elderly, they require a bit of extra grace and attention, and Jill showed incredible patience with my dog, who really needed it. I felt completely comfortable with her coming in and out of our home, and her communication was exactly what we needed to feel at ease while away. It is clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. Jill is definitely a five-star sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have over 52 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life around pets, including dogs of all sizes, senior animals, anxious pets, injured animals, and pets with medical or special-care needs. I am comfortable caring for giant breeds, administering medications and injections, following special routines, and providing extra attention when a pet needs it. I have cared for pets with conditions such as epilepsy and have experience helping very nervous animals feel safe and comfortable. For example, I once helped care for extremely anxious senior Chihuahuas who were afraid of people, and with patience and consistency, they gradually learned to trust and feel comfortable around us. I am home 24/7, so pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I am very flexible and happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, extra cuddles, unusual habits, or any special instructions their family has. I truly love animals and treat every pet as an individual. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely at home while they are with me. Chances are, by the end of their stay, your pet will think they found a new best friend! I am home 24/7, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, supervision, and care they need throughout the day. Dogs are taken outside for bathroom breaks every 2–3 hours, or more often if needed based on their usual routine. We also have access to a dog park, so dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time can have opportunities to play and burn off energy when appropriate. I am happy to adjust to each pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication, playtime, naps, and any special routines. Because I am home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy lots of companionship, attention, and care while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am home 24/7, so pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs are taken outside every 2–3 hours for bathroom breaks, or more often if needed, and we also have access to a dog park for exercise and playtime when appropriate. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medication needs, and any special instructions. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and medical needs, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual personality.
“Thank you again, Stacy! We really appreciate your flexibility with the last minute booking. I thought I was going to need to cancel my trip but you were there and made everything possible and knew exactly what to do to care for desi. So happy we found you!!!”
“Mia was very attentive to our girls and took care of the house while we were away. Very communicative with updates multiple times per day together with pics and good questions about the dogs or the house (the power went out for an hour and the dogs caught a critter in the back yard). Mia was up front about her schedule and kept us up to date about her needs. Overall - the dogs loved her and we will work with Mia again if schedules work.”
“Desiré took good care of my puppy she was left alone at home sadly we forgot to refill her food container plus we temporarily lost the key so she was left with no security at home. I’m thankful I was able to find her and got a response immediately and came home fed her and took her for a 4 walks! Stayed 5 hrs while we were away. Thank you so much for your service!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
Toby was fantastic with Pippy and Simba! He was incredibly flexible with our plans, including a last-minute change. He clearly has a great way with dogs—both pups were very comfortable with him, and Pippy, who has lots of energy, came home happy, relaxed, and calm. He walked them regularly, kept us updated with great photos, and took wonderful care of them throughout the stay. Toby is friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. He has that calm, positive energy that dogs seem to immediately feel comfortable with. We’ll definitely book with him again!
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.

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.
