“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!”
“Sivani was wonderful and our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated. We have a super high energy pup that can be a lot and she took amazing care of him. The other 2 loved laying around with her and cuddling. She was wonderful at following up in case I forgot a care detail as well.”
“My dogs were extremely happy and relaxed when I came back home after being in Bri’s care. She took incredible care of them and my apartment was immaculate. She is professional, trustworthy, and interested in learning about your pets to best caew for them and accommodate their routines as much as possible. Highly, highly recommend booking with her.”
“Our pups love Roxie! She takes them on walks and to the dog park while she is here. When we return, the house is in order and our pups are tired, but happy to see us! Thanks, Roxie!”
“Emily was a great help taking care of our fur babies during the July 4th holiday. The dogs loved her and she left the guest room and bathroom nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Soraya. I love dogs, and treat every pup that stays with me like my own. I live in a cozy, comfortable apartment that's set up for dogs to actually relax in, not just pass through. I am home almost all day, so your dog is never left alone wondering where everybody went. They get attention, company, and someone to nap next to. You'll get photo updates every single day. I know how it feels to drop your dog off and spend the whole time wondering how they're doing, so I don't make you ask. I am fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking owners can message me in whichever language feels easier. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a talker, or just needs someone patient, I’ve got them. I work from home! So I will be with your dog all day. I start with a morning walk, then your fur baby and I will spend the day together, usually out on the patio getting some sun and some love. Afternoon walk, evening walk, and lots of attention in between. Your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. Whatever routine and rules you have for your dog, I follow them exactly. Feeding schedule, crate or no crate, treats, off-limits spots, I uphold every one of them. In my home, love and safety come first. My apartment is calm and comfortable, I am always here, and I keep a close eye on your pup the whole stay. You’ll get daily photos so you always know your dog is being loved and taken care of.
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs. My parents were always working so it was up to me to take care of the pets. I loved playing with them, going on walks, and teaching little tricks. We had a pit bull, chihuahua, and a poodle. I’m a student at Georgia State University but I only have two classes per day which leaves ample time to take care of pets. I can easily do overnight stays to keep your pet company and to take them on a walk before I head out to classes. I can stay overnight or just do a drop in to check on your pet. Just let me know and we can work on a schedule.
“Aaliyah did a great job watching both our dogs!!! She took lots of picture and they looked so happy the whole time! She left our house in great condition and highly recommend!”
“I wanted to build on top of my previous review in order to recognize Jillian's flexibility and reliability. We had a sit scheduled to start on a Saturday, however on Thursday my flight out Saturday was cancelled due to the Government shutdown. I was re-booked to fly out Friday instead and my trip was contingent that Jillian would be available. On 24 hour notice she was able to start the sit one day earlier, allowing the trip to take place. Flying back was also in question due to the volatility of air travel and Jillian was more or less "on call" in the event that my flight was cancelled or extremely delayed (luckily there were no issues). Jillian was a lifesaver and took that stress off of my plate during that time.”
“Kyle is amazing! Our girls loved him immediately on our meet & greet visit. We had questions, however, Kyle came with a lot more. Very prepared and considered so many things regarding taking care of the girls and our home for almost a week. Great communication, pics daily and took fantastic care of our home as well. Can’t wait til he can take care of them again!! Thank you Kyle 😊”
“We had a great experience with Michael house/pet sitting our dog Abigail while we were away for spring break. He provided pictures and updates frequently which were welcomed. And the fish were fed, plants thrived (watered), and mail/packages taken care of. Finally, Michael took care of our house and Abigail felt loved! We would book another house/pet sitting service with Michael again.”
About: I'm that girl who gets birthday cards from her friends with pictures of adorable animals on them every year :) The one who gets called when a furbaby needs a home or a place to stay for a while. I've been caring for pets since I was a child, and loved them for as long as I can remember! Aside from having dogs and cats of my own over the years, I have fostered over a dozen of them, rescued numerous stray or lost cats and dogs, and cared for many of my friends' pets. I've cared for pets with a variety of medical conditions including heart disease, epilepsy, Cushings, kidney disease, pulmonary hypertension, chronic bronchitis, chronic IBS, skin conditions, and allergies. I have the skills and experience to understand how to care for pets in less than optimal health, and I think it's important to always be in tune with the signs and behaviors an animal exhibits in order to make proactive decisions and look out for them. They can't speak for themselves, but there is a lot they do communicate to us, and it's our responsibility to pay attention. I treat every pet in my care as though it were my own. I'll be home for the upcoming holidays and would love to take care of your sweet baby while you travel, or if you're simply busy taking care of festivities :) Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! I currently have two very sweet and docile cats, who will be kept separate from any other cats in my care through Rover. For dog bookings, I am only able to accept dogs who have a known history of being friendly and gentle with cats. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for repeat visits. If you have a snuggly baby, my work allows me to give them love throughout the day. Mine are usually on my lap or right next to me, so yours is welcome to do the same! I sincerely care for you furbaby as if they were my own. Cats will have their own designated area in the home, with plenty of toys, climbing and scratching posts, and they will be able to spend time on my screened in patio each day they're here. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around, as well as a screened in patio. My house is very pet friendly indoors as well, and I am happy to give all the snuggles as I work during the day.
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own pets over the years, so I understand how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for them. I truly love animals and enjoy giving them attention, affection, playtime, and a calm, caring presence while their owners are away. I currently have open availability and can provide pet care full time. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last minute bookings whenever needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, keep their space clean, and give plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I also make sure pets always have fresh water and feel secure and comfortable while in my care.
“Extremely professional and knowledgeable pet/house sitter. Our dog didn't even miss us! House spotless upon return. Excellent communication throughout 10 day sit. Would definitely use again.”
About: Hello, I’m Fern (Magdalen) I love animals, I find them to be the most pure little buddies. I have experience with leash pullers and dog reactive dogs. I have experience with cats with medical needs such as administering pills, ear drops, ointments and syringe feedings. I find that pets respond best when you speak to them like they’re human. I enjoy sticking to routine with pets and I ensure pups get plenty of stimulation! I work Mondays through Thursdays 7am-5:30pm. I work remotely Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available to house sit Fridays-Mondays. I am available for walks Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. Depending on distance, morning and midday walks are tricky unless I am house sitting. I pay attention to the animal’s needs. I tend to talk to the pet as if they were a person. I find animals respond well to it and it helps establish trust. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. Extra enrichment when the owner is away is key to help relieve pent up anxieties. I love long walks with dogs. I am good with routines and adhere closely to the guidelines set by the owner.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pittsburg is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
This was our second time hiring Andrea to housesit for our dog June, and we look forward to working with her again in the future! She is communicative, responsible, trustworthy, and sends the BEST pics of our girl! Thanks for making this part of our wedding weekend so easy, Andrea!
Gabby is/was, from the start, our first and best choice at being our very first pet sitter ever! We usually go for family members, and decided to find someone who would care for our two dogs just the same. She was eager to put a meet and greet together (or whatever I was comfortable with) so came and met the dogs about a week before and asked all the necessary questions! While we were away, she sent updates, cute pictures, and even did some treat training with our German shepherd and Pitbull/German shepherd babies. We came from from a much needed vacation to a house almost cleaner than when we moved in and happy dogs! I can’t recommend her enough for her attention to detail and her dedication to making sure our home and dogs were so well taken care of :)
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!
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!! 😻🐕
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pittsburg is $68 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $105 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,810 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.
<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 , 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 .
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.

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.
