“Ben is amazing sitter for our Rufus!!! He is constantly interacting with Rufus, working with him on sitting, heeling. He is following our schedule for Rufus , Ben really cares about his individualized care needs. We had a bad experience at a local kennel and thanks to Ben we are completely comfortable to leave Rufus in his very capable hands. Ben has also introduced Rufus to his own furbaby, Mara. We absolutely love little Mara , Rufus has 2 new friends now!!! We highly recommend Ben and Mara for house sitting services 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🥰🎉”

About: I’ve had furry friends of my own since childhood! I currently care for three dogs of my own: a senior purebred pit bull, a young and active pit mix, and a frenchie! So I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐾 I work Monday–Friday from 9 AM–5 PM, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when booking! For house sitting, I can use my lunch break to check in on pets when needed, and I’ll communicate with you about their schedule and care needs ahead of time I do my 100% best to mimic the care and routine your pets are used to at home. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you feel comfortable and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing how your pet is doing and that they’re being cared for.

“Dana wooed all seven of our animals who warmed to her immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and kitties and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly personable, kind, and an absolute sweetie—and our animals absolutely loved her! She kept us updated on how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious how comfortable and happy our pets were with her. We would absolutely trust her with our fur babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐾”
“Sydney was amazing!!! This was our first time working with her and we are very happy and pleased!!! All of our fur babies were taken very well care of and got lots of loving while we were gone. Sydney kept us updated and helped my anxiety of leaving our babies at home while we were away. She even cleaned up so we could just focus on relaxing with our babies when we got home. She is awesome and we would love to work with her again!!!”

“We’re big fans of Lori and her pup Teddy! We like to keep our pups home in their comfort zone when we’re not able to travel with them and they did great with her overnight. We will be using Lori again in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat to folks in the area who need their animals well cared for while they’re away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburg
Nicole is a regular for drop-in visits with our pup and geriatric cat, and recently stayed in our home with them for a week. She continues to be amazing with not only them, but the rest of our furry gang. She kept us updated that everyone was ok and made sure we got cute pics. I left some instructions for meds for the cat and cleaning supplies in the event that there were any accidents. A spare bedroom was made up and lots of fresh towels, and it was a successful week! I’m forever grateful for Nicole and her connection with our furbabies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pittsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,186 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.
