“Tara was so amazing with our dog and our cat. She sent us lots of updates while house sitting, took our dog for lots of walks, and gave them both lots of attention 😊 Great job with our pets and great communication. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Caitlin was amazing! It was obvious that Ollie and Daisy loved her. She was very accommodating and took care of our pups with love and kindness. I would ask Caitlin to watch Ollie and Daisy again in a heartbeat! Thank you Caitlin!!”

“We couldn't be happier with the incredible care McKenna provided for our beloved dogs, Raynor and Mojo. From the moment she arrived, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, and our pups took to her instantly. McKenna went above and beyond, ensuring Raynor and Mojo were not just fed and walked, but truly loved and engaged. We received regular updates and photos that put our minds completely at ease, showing our dogs happy, playful, and comfortable in her care. Beyond her exceptional attention to our furry family members, McKenna also left our home in pristine condition. It was such a relief to return to a clean and tidy house, exactly as we had left it. McKenna is reliable, responsible, and truly a gem. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch dog sitting services. She treated our dogs and our home with the utmost respect and care. We will absolutely be asking her to sit for us again!”


About: I have had pets my whole life. I pride myself on caring for dogs the way you would. Walks, play and snuggles are just a must every day. Our 151/2 year old Wheatlie was given a ride/park adventure every day! My favorite activity of the day is walk-let me help you when you don’t have time to get out-your pet will feel good after a brisk walk! I am currently semi-retired so I am available for walks and care during the day. Our senior dog has passed so my attention is on caring for your pet the way I cared for my Wheatlie. I have a large yard for lots of fun! A typical day would involve play time, walks, treats, snuggles and scratches. Your pet is part of my family.
“Taylor took wonderful care of our sweet senior girl (15yo!) who has particular needs and takes meds. Sasha was happy and content when we got home, and our house looked great, too. We’re very grateful for the thoughtful care and would absolutely recommend Taylor.”

I will always find the best time and place to give your pets what they need. I am not able to bring pets to my apartment, but will gladly give them all the care and attention they need in their home, or out and about!

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies and chickens and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime and daily care routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and proper care! I work remotely, providing me with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I currently work remotely as a paralegal so I have plenty of time to tend to your pets. I do serve some nights but aside from that will be fully available for walks, potty breaks, feeding and all other activities. I have a large house with a big lawn. I also have a large crate and smaller carriers as well. I do have a pet bunny who will stay in my room and away from all pets.

I'm currently walking dogs 2 days out of the week looking for more to work with within the week. I have an open schedule and interested. I have separate spaces available for each animal. In my care at anytime, I will use provided equipment for transportation. Your pet safety is number one.
“Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!”

“Keri was great! She was able to jump in at the last minute and stay at our house with our 2 dogs. She communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures of our pups. I think they liked her so much they didn't even realize we were gone!”

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life. I love meeting new animals and learning about each and every personality. Had or cared for cats, dogs, and small animals, and willing to meet more! I am available most days and some nights. I can provide early morning care and mid day care, and night care but often after 10pm. I am always attentive to animal body language and keep an eye on how they are feeling in the environment or around me. I follow the guidlines closely that are given by owners on how to care for their pet.
“This was our second time booking Sally to care for our one year old corgi and six hens. We were at ease our entire vacation because we knew how well they were all being cared for. Sally took our corgi on daily, multiple walks. Sally took excellent care of the hens and kept their coop nice and clean. All of our animals were well cared for, safe and attended to. We will be booking again and we so appreciate her!”

“Dana stayed at our house for a week while we were traveling and gave our cats exceptional care. We appreciated getting daily updates with photos and could tell that our two sociable cats loved their time with her. We're also grateful that she went the extra mile in trying to help our most shy cat feel comfortable. We highly recommend Dana for pet care!”

About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked in animal shelters and a local doggy daycare, from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you on your special day without any added stress. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pittsfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pittsfield on Rover is $55.5 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 451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pittsfield. 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 Pittsfield 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 Pittsfield 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 Pittsfield 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 Pittsfield. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
