“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”

“Fallon did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 dogs! 1 of our dogs can be shy, but she warmed right up to Fallon due to Fallon‘s calming nature. This is our first time ever using a pet sitter as very anxious dog parents. Fallon made us feel very safe and secure with the process. She sent several photos with each drop-in. Our dogs’ happiness proved to us that she did a great job. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. From the time I was a child, I’ve shared my home — and my heart — with dogs and cats of all kinds, and they’ve brought me endless joy, comfort, and companionship. That lifelong love has grown into a deep understanding of their needs, their personalities, and the special bond they share with the people who care for them. As a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I believe animals can sense genuine love, and that’s why they tend to warm up to me quickly and trust me easily. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or simply making sure their routine stays the same while you’re away, I approach every task with care and responsibility. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to make your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved until you’re back home. I drive for Lyft and I can stop and walk the pets every couple of hours. I like the freedom to do the things I want to do during the day. I have a fenced in yard and feed our dog morning and night; I’m a very responsible dog owner. My wife is a retired veterinary technician and she’s always there if I have questions.

About: I've always been the go-to dog sitter for friends & family, taking care of dogs is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's taking them on fun walks or providing mental stimulation through teaching them new tricks. I love making sure they're happy and well cared for! I'm currently working 4x a week and mostly free on the weekends for boarding! I usually spend my weekends/ off days with my puppy taking her out to parks and long walks. Definitely open to adding more dogs to the party 😊 I live in a townhome with a backyard which makes it easy for potty breaks. Your pet will have unlimited access to the backyard and playtime with my puppy penny!

About: Hi! I'm Jessica, and I've always been a dog person. I volunteer with Lifeline Animal Project and Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, where I've spent time with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing tug-of-war, or just curling up on the couch for company, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, affection, and updates while you're away so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work from 7a-3p Monday - Friday and can come home for lunch - I'm a 10 min drive away. Your dog will get (a minimum of) a morning walk, afternoon walk and evening walk. Dogs with more energy will get outside playtime. I'll be with them throughout the late afternoon and evening. They will get a walk before bed. Your dog can sleep in my bed and I will be with them the entire time on the weekends. I will keep your dog company, make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love. I’ll send you pictures daily of our time together.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m a proud dog parent to two pups of my own: a 5 year old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix and a 7 month old Xolo/Chihuahua mix. I adopted my older pup at 2 months old and trained him from the beginning. He’s now a calm, loving, and cuddly companion. I also adopted my younger pup at 4 months old, and she has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement while raising a high energy puppy. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs playtime, exercise, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own I work fully remote Monday-Fri, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and flexibility throughout the day. I currently take my own dogs on walks 3–4 times daily and make time for short play sessions, training, and cuddles between work breaks. I also maintain a consistent feeding routine for my dogs and understand how important schedules are for pets. I’m happy to follow whatever routine, feeding schedule, or care instructions you have established for your pup to help them feel comfortable and keep their normal routine while you’re away. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of green spaces, walking paths, sidewalks, and a small dog park where pups can safely get exercise and enjoy some outdoor time. My apartment is a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure pets have a safe space to settle in, with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection throughout the day. I keep my home free of hazards, maintain a consistent routine, and provide a comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and cared for. When caring for pets in their own home, I understand the importance of respecting their space, following their routines, and providing the same level of care and attention they receive from their families.

About: I've personally raised animals ranging from fish to hamsters to birds to dogs and cats, so you can definitely say I have the experience and skillset to watch after any and all kinds of pets. From babyhood to senior-aged animals, I've been through every sort of situation with a diverse set of pets so I know what to look out for and how to care for your loved ones! That includes: pottysitting, specified meal times, gentle grooming, bathing, going on walks and playtime, and going for vet visits and even the occasional surgery or administering medicine. You name it, I probably have experience! I currently work four days a week with some freelancing, so I can definitely focus on your pet, giving them the time and effort they need to be fully given attention to. I am both very attentive and independent, able to be 100% caregiving without overstepping my role. I am a hands-on learner, which means I care for any animal on a case-by-case basis. I know that every pet has their own personality so much like people, I give them the space to show me how they would like to be taken care of. For my own pets, I have always given them space to play and learn on their terms, letting them come to me with what they want and need but also making sure they are given plenty of attention. I love going on walks with dogs and know how to guide them when encountering other people and/or dogs while on them.

About: I have a very descriptive knowledge about a dog's needs. I'm very passionate about dogs, I have been since I was a little kid My first experience was taking care of both a Golden Retriever "Shelby" was her name and an Australian Catahoula Leopard Dog"Zen" . The owner gave me specific instructions on how to take care of them both. The Golden Retriever had dry skin so she needed to be moisturized in the morning and at night, the Australian Catahoula Leopard Dog had allergies and I needed to know what prescriptions to give him . We went for walks everyday , played tug-of-war that was their favorite , gave them love & affection,as well as bubble baths. You can reach me on Thursday , Monday, and Saturday I am currently working part-time at an animal hospital I work 29 hours , I open the hospital and periodically close . My shifts are from 9am-5pm but that will not interfere with pet sitting I care for my animals I have a 1year old puppy already crate trained, and loves all animals when it comes to the client and there animal if there animal needs to be put in a crate with specific instructions I will do so.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, raising power breeds like Dobermans and German Shepherds alongside tiny pups. I’m also a true cat whisperer with a natural connection to felines <3 I have over one year of professional dog and cat sitting experience and I'm excited to bring my skills to Rover. I would love the chance to spend time and get to know your pet! What You Get With Me: 24/7 WFH Supervision: I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and is never left alone for long periods. Home Management: For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. I water plants, bring in mail, and guarantee I will leave your house cleaner than I found it. Specialized Experience: I have over a year of experience managing complex needs, including senior dog care, dogs with special needs, medication administration, and handling large breeds (I own a Great Dane and Shepherd mix!). When you book me, you aren't just paying for a sitter; you are paying for the peace of mind that comes with a reliable, professional adult managing your home and best friend. I work from home full-time, so I am available to provide round-the-clock supervision for your pets. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will get frequent potty breaks, playtime, and constant companionship throughout the day. I can easily adjust my work schedule to accommodate your pet's specific feeding and walking routine. I have specialized experience caring for senior dogs, including administering oral medications and managing their comfort. I am physically capable and confident handling large breeds, as I own a Great Dane and a Shepherd/Pitbull mix myself. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and supervision to ensure every pet stays happy, healthy, and secure.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and the bond with a dog is not something that can be replaced. I have had a number of dogs throughout my life, and I have wide range of experience from training a puppy to also caring for an elderly pup. We have a very flexible but pet safe household where our two 8 and 10yo Labradors are very loved, friendly, and comfortable with other pets. Our dogs are not crated, and I am comfortable caring for crated and uncrated pets. Our friends often joke that our dogs live better lives than most people! I am self employed from home, therefore have a very flexible schedule. I already care for our current dogs with meals, throwing the ball, and walks, so additional pets do not significantly affect my normal daily routine. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that will keep your dog(s) company. I am comfortable with crated or uncrated dogs, and we live in a safe neighborhood for leash walks.

I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! She did drop-in visits for both of my dogs and handled them so well. From the start, she was incredibly sweet and professional. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which gave her the chance to connect with my dogs and make sure it was a good fit—and it definitely was. While I was away, she kept me at ease with consistent communication, updates, and lots of pictures. It really reassured me that my dogs were happy and well taken care of. She even went above and beyond by helping with a few extra tasks around the house while I wasn’t home, which I truly appreciated. I could tell my dogs were in great hands the entire time. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. I’m happy that I found her because she will now be my dog sitter moving forward. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pittsburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pittsburg is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 November 2026, there are 7,644 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pittsburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pittsburg. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
