“Gabriyela was attent e to Chloe's needs, provided excellent communication before, during and after her stay. We appreciated the photos and cute comments that made us feel comfortable and confident about being away. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“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 our second time having her pet sit. We had to make multiple changes to our booking, both prior to her coming and after travel issues arose during our trip. She was incredibly flexible with our travel issues (had to extend several days) and was able to stay until we were able to get home. It is great having peace of mind while traveling and leaving your pets with someone. I highly recommend having Joyce watch your pets!”
“Jill was amazing! She took such great care of our home and our doodle, Gumbo. He absolutely loved her! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and we could tell he was happy and well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a very content pup. Highly recommend Jill — we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“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.”
“Mia was amazing. Her communication was so consistent that I always knew what was going on with our pup and she even sent pictures. It was so nice k owing she was taken care of by a caring person!”
“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!”
About: It’s corny, but I’m like the animal whisperer. They gravitate towards me. I have 3 of my own pets at home, so I tend to their needs on a daily. I believe it’s important to exude good vibes towards the fur babies and not fear. Give love, and you’ll get love back. Brushing, belly rubs, and massages are my kids’ favorite. I’ve administered oral medicine to my cats and dog. Most people say it’s hard to train cats because of their nature, but that came naturally between myself and my friendly felines. I care for my own 2 cats and a dog every day. They get plenty of time to exercise, eat, and get cuddles. I’m an online student, and I work part-time. I always have time for my babies. They like to help me out with homework & make sure that I take a break. I’ll keep an eye out for your fur kid and give them lots of love and care. If needed, I can give them food and water, according to your instructions. I’ll treat them like my own. Plenty of pictures and videos of your fur baby will be sent your way, when they are in my care.
“Morgan was amazing with our pet family members! Her attention to detail and sending us pictures and videos of how well our dogs were adjusting in our absence gave us great peace of mind. I highly recommend Morgan’s expertise and pet sitting. We will be using her services again when needed in the future.”
“This was the 2nd time Jordan stayed with our dog and two cats and we have been more than pleased both times! She is communicative sending pictures and updates daily, leaves the house straightened up and clean, and was even willing to water our garden and bring our trash cans out and back while we were gone. Millie, Milo, and Cali were VERY loved and cared for while we were gone. 5 stars!!!”
“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!”
“Ashley was a very big help on relatively short notice. One of my dogs can be very hesitant around strangers and despite a positive meet and greet prior to the sit, he was not accepting of her when she arrived. She kept an open line of communication, figured out a plan, and ended up resolving the issue and the sit went well. My dogs are not always the easiest to take care of but Ashley did not bat an eye and tackled the issues head on. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a sitter and cant thank her enough for her patience and flexibility.”
“I booked Carson for housesitting and Carson was so wonderful with my dogs! We had to book last minute, and even though they never had the chance to get shown around they were perfect. They sent me so many pictures so I knew my dogs were well cared for. They were very professional for the whole stay. I will absolutely be booking him again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sherri was amazing! She stayed at our house with our 2 senior dogs and 2 senior cats and took great care of them. We appreciated the photos and updates daily. We completely trust her and couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry family. We would definitely love to have Sherri back.”
“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!”
“Amberly did an excellent job with Lola! She had great communication, and sent pics and video regularly! She made traveling easier because I didn't have to worry about my fur baby. 10/10 would definitely recommend 😄”
“Lorie is wonderful. She took such good care of my boys that I had not one moment of concern during the week I was away. She texted me often during the day with updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Lorie.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
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 $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,907 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
