We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!

Victoria is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family for more than a weekend and she made us so comfortable. She sent twice daily updates with how he was doing along with pictures and videos. Franklin can be slow to warm up in a new place and often won't eat for the first day or two but he was completely fine there and ate all meals each day! We have used her again since and have had a similar experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet-sitter.

Kathleen is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs:) We usually travel with our dogs, but because we were going to Italy we used Kathleen. She sent us texts, pictures and video daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs. They had an amazing vacation themselves! She took them for daily walks, cuddled and played with them just as we would have. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our babies! I highly recommend her for all of your fur babies! We will definitely be calling Kathleen for our next trip:)

Ris was great with my pup Soy. He sent multiple pictures to show me Soy had settled in well. He also allowed me to stay for a bit, prior to leaving Soy, to introduce to him to Ric's very well behaved Golden Retrievers in the backyard. That backyard is a total dream for any dog!

Adam is the best companion and sitter for your dog you could ever imagine. Our dog Auggie spent 12 days in Adam’s home during our recent vacation and we could not be more grateful for the care, love and attention he paid to Auggie. Adam opened his entire home to our dog, got to know him and bonded with him super quickly; he took him regularly for long walks, dog parks, visits to his friends and other dogs, and shared daily with us countless pictures of their joyful activities. Thank you Adam, Auggie and you have bonded forever.

Karen and her husband were very kind and understanding when my dog unexpectedly had stomach problems and caused a mess. Despite this, she really seemed to enjoy her visit and I’d recommend them for watching your dog!

Our pup just spent the last week with Christy and it went really well! I’m always nervous to board her but this was the second time we’ve been able to have Christy watch her and I definitely was a lot less anxious about it. We had no issues at all and she was extremely prompt with communication as well as pick up and drop off. We appreciate you making this so easy for us!

Tia is the absolute BEST! She took great care of my Robin while I was away for a month. She was always communicative. We got photo and video updates everyday. I was so worried because I was gone for so long and also because of Robin's separation anxiety but Tia and her family made everything so easy for both me and Robin. Robin and her dog Tang became best friends and he had an amazing time while we were away. He came back so happy and healthy!! I will definitely book with Tia again anytime Robin needs a place to stay!!!

Sara did an incredible job with Albert! She shared with me many photos (an entire Google album) during his stay. From the pictures, I could easily tell Albert was having the time of his life (e.g., running around, going on walks, playing with other dogs). And when I picked him up, his gleefulness was still shining through. She was also very communicative with me, proactively asking about his needs before the study and sharing text-based updates during the stay. I would definitely book with Sara again, and would also recommend her to anyone. Thanks Sara, for going above and beyond!

Had a great experience with Matt, from the Meet n Greet and the drop off, to the pick up and everything in between. Matt was very responsive and kept in touch during Mayzie’s stay, assuring us she had adjusted fine, and sending us photos. She’s visiting again in two weeks so I’m relieved that Mayzie has a safe and comfortable place to call home while we are away. Excellent experience overall! I did not worry about my dog’s care because I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to leave their pet in a safe, fun, attentive, welcoming environment. Thanks, Matt!

Why book Rover dog boarding in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh pet parents want to make sure their dogs are well taken care of when they're away, and that's where Rover comes in. Dog sitters in Pittsburgh will treat your pups like part of their family, and offer them all the comforts of home, unlike a kennel. If you're looking for dog boarding in Pittsburgh, try a Rover sitter who'll care your pup in their own home, offering plenty of one-on-one attention.

Why do dog owners love Pittsburgh?

Residents of The 'Burgh are treated daily to a city full of history, entertaining professional sports leagues, and cultural institutions. Home to educational institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh - plus cultural attractions including the Andy Warhol Museum - it's often ranked one of the country's most livable cities. So it's easy to see why dog owners love living in Pittsburgh. Plus, there are tons of dog-friendly green spaces and friendly Rover dog sitters and walkers throughout the city.

Which parks in Pittsburgh are good for dog walks?

Referred to as OLEAs, Pittsburgh has many Off-Leash Exercise Areas your dog to enjoy. Take Frick Park dog park on Squirrel Hill - it's a massive 644 acres for you and your dog to explore. There are separate fenced areas for running, lots of trails, and a swimming hole for dogs near Lower Tranquil Trail. Though not quite as large, Riverview Dog Park at Perry North is still a huge park to visit at 259 acres total, with two acres fenced off just for off-leash fun near the Allegheny Observatory. At Bernard Dog Run in Lawrenceville, you'll find a bustling half-acre park under the 40th Street Bridge. There are separate play areas for large and small dogs to keep pups safe and having fun with other dogs their own size. Dogs need to stay on leash at Point State Park, but that shouldn't stop you from spending a day walking its three main hiking trails. It's right downtown in the Golden Triangle, so you can't miss it!

What Pittsburgh neighborhoods are good for dog owners?

Pittsburgh has over 90 vibrant and unique neighborhoods, so deciding where to visit or even settle down can be a tough decision. From S&D Polish Deli to the Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., there are tons of interesting and eclectic shops and grocers in the Strip District, just east of downtown Pittsburgh. If you're looking for something a little more upscale, take your shopping over to the Shadyside area. You can get a dose of culture and intellectual discussion in Oakland, where you'll find the 53-story gothic building that houses the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning. If you need a place to stay, check out the edgy, metroplication chic of the Ace Hotel or Indigo Hotel in the East Liberty neighborhood. Looking for a bite to eat? Head over to Pittsburgh's "Little Italy," Bloomfield. Take a bridge from downtown to discover North Shore and North Side, home to Heinz Field and PNC Park, and be sure to get a glimpse of the larger-than-life Mister Rogers' statue nearby. You can also take a nice stroll down the tree-lined streets of the charming Sewickley neighborhood, or catch an amazing view in Mt. Washington.
