1. Michael H.
“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!”
2. Kathleen K.
“Kathleen is an amazing caretaker! Our pups practically didn’t want to come home with us! She is attentive and proactive and a great communicator. We received pictures and videos and updates throughout their stay with Kathleen and came home to happy and healthy dogs.”
3. Victoria K.
“Victoria was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures and videos. She was so great with our dog and we can’t wait to use her services again!”
4. Richard T.
“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!”

6. Adam C.
“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.”
7. Christine B.
“Christine took great care of my nervous dog and sent updates regularly. I appreciate how she was accomodating and worked hard to make sure my dog was comfortable.”
8. Sebastian O.
“Sebastian and his wife were wonderful to our small dog Daisy. I could tell she was well-loved during her six-night stay. Sebastian sent us a few pictures throughout her stay which showed she was having a good time. We were thankful that Sebastian is very courteous and quick to respond to any text messages. We would gladly book another stay with Sebastian. Thank you so much!”
9. Tia D.
“Remi loves staying with Tia! I always book on weekends but I went on a week long trip this time around. Tia send multiple updates throughout the day and I know how much Remi loves staying there. She never wants to leave! Picked up a tired out puppy!”
10. Marina P.
“Marina was an absolute delight! She took the challenges of sitting our 10 week old lab pup in stride, showing Dr. Fuzz the utmost love, care, and grace. She provided regular updates and was extremely responsive (which absolutely eased our concerns with boarding a pup so new and so young). I would absolutely recommend Marina if you are looking for the perfect home-away-from-home for your four-legged friend 😊”
11. Kari S.
“Kari truly went above and beyond for my dog Matilda during my 5 day trip. I always use Rover when I go away and while it’s always been a positive experience, Kari has been the most caring and loving sitter Matilda has ever had. Matilda has a hard time adapting to new environments and easily becomes anxious, but Kari was super responsible and did everything to help her settle in. Kari kept me updated the entire time and Matilda was seriously smiling in many of the pictures and videos she sent, which was a true testament to how much she enjoyed being with Kari. She had no hesitations taking her to the park, on car drives (which are Matilda’s favorite activity!), shopping - Matilda got to live her best life! When I returned Matilda looked like she’d had a great time and slept for a whole week (a rare occurrence). I will always look for Kari for future boarding and 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to be well taken care of. Thank you Kari for giving Matilda the best little vacation, she definitely misses you very much!”
12. Karen P.

“Brittany took great care of our two pups who were with her for a two night stay. Would definitely recommend Brittany's services to others!”
14. Brian B.
“Brian and Erin were wonderful. They sent pictures and updates. They also sent a video of my dog playing with their dog. I knew he was in good hands.”
15. Carly S.
“Carly was very nice and Princess liked her. She actually slept in the living room because Princess was afraid of the steps. Those are the things that are genuinely appreciated”
16. Christy M.
“Christy was an amazing sitter! She was flexible with a super early drop off and then late pick up after our flight was delayed. She shared lots of adorable pictures and our puppies seemed very comfortable. Would happily book again!”
17. Jason G.
“Our pit bull pup loved his stay with Jason! Jason was very responsive the entire stay and sent us a photo everyday (sometimes multiple!) while we were away. He kindly gave us updates about what they did that day or what they planned to do. We would definitely choose yo use Jason again if needed and highly recommend him!”
18. Matthew S.
“Matthew is absolutely fantastic! I was gone for a week long vacation and having Chip stay with Matthew was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I know Chip was in good hands, he was having a great time and well taken care of. I got great updates and pics throughout my vacation which I love. Highly recommend Matthew, will use again ?”
19. Sushma S.
“Sushma took good care of Nacho and sent me sporadic updates - too many updates are not necessary; she sent me just enough. Also, Sushma was really flexible when my return travel dates when I was uncertain if I could pick up Nacho at the prearranged time or not! I would 100% trust Nacho in Sushma's care again.”
20. Sara H.
“Sara was an amazing dog sitter for our energetic 1+1/2 year old Bernedoodle. Sara gave her so much love and an abundant amount of exercise. Our dog also enjoyed the company of Sara’s Husky which was an added bonus. Sara was sweet enough to send us photos of our girl as well. We are so glad to have found Sara!”

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.
