Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”

We got numerous pictures showing how much fun she was having and being in Dawn and Steven's company :) she made fast friends! Also our house was left perfect and everything in place, we cant wait for our next booking! Thank yall again for taking such great care of our girl!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and sweet with all of our pets. From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our animals were in such loving and capable hands. Charlie was our biggest concern because she can be a little sensitive and needs extra patience and attention, but our sitter went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She took the time to understand Charlie’s personality and needs, gave her so much care and affection, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also wonderful with our cats, making sure they were cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they needed. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely kind. We are so grateful for the care she gave Charlie, our cats, and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.
About: I have an 8 year old black lab mix named Annabelle. Prior to adopting her, I have always had a pet in my home. I have had a previous black lab, Lily who passed 2 yeards ago and a golden retriever. I have been dog sitting mostly for friends and family for a few years now, but I wanted to reach out beyond that and see who else I could help. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I love dogs and haven't been without one my whole life and I know what it's like to have to leave your best friend hom while your away, so I can provide that care and love for them while you can't be there.

I have a fenced in yard with my dog. But I prefer to come to your home where the animals are most comfortable and feel safe

“Ashley was wonderful! She was very kind and respectful. She was great with communication, and took excellent care of our Lucy. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Lucy was in very good hands with Ashley!”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
“Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs. They can be a bit intimidating when you first meet them but she did very well introducing herself to them. They had a great time with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”
“Jasmine was a great pet and house sitter while I went on vacation. My dog really loved her! Jasmine followed all of the dog care and house instructions and is great at communicating everything I needed to know. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog and the house were in great hands.”
“Jojo is fabulous all around. She spoiled both my dog and cat rotten. She sent us pictures and videos every single day and was extremely communicative. My Frenchie Luna even had an allergy outbreak and jojo gave her a bath for us with her medicated shampoo. I was blown away by her kindness, responsiveness and how she really went above and beyond.. even taking out the trash and cleaning up around the house before we returned home. 1000000/10. Will definitely be booking her for now on.”
“As thorough as Sarah is with her profile describing who she is, how she works, what she does, and why she does it, she is even more thorough and thoughtful with how she cares for your fur babies. We are really delighted to meet her. We also greatly appreciated how she respected our home and gave us the right amount of regular updates on walks, meals, and cuddles.”

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 November 2026, there are 1,184 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 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.

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.
