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. Richard T.
“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”
3. Victoria K.
“Victoria watched Moose overnight (11 month old Labrador Retriever) as we attended a wedding out of town. Moose is a very sweet, big and ill -mannered boy. Victoria did a fabulous job with Moose, sent multiple updates throughout the evening and the next morning, and eased any concerns that we had about his big sleepover! Victoria is kind and warm, and a wonderful pet sitter. I picked up a happy boy who enjoyed his big adventure. I am grateful that we have found a high-quality and dependable sitter for Moose, and I highly recommend Victoria.”

“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.”
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.”

“audrey was so sweet to my cat, love! and she made her feel so comfortable and welcome. she’s also very responsive! i would definitely recommend her:)”
9. Matthew S.
“Matt is the most amazing, compassionate, and honest carer ever. This was Max's 2nd stay and he was more rambunctious than usual. Matt was not afraid to let me know so I could address negative behaviors. But at the end of the day, Max remembered him and went right along for his overnight stay. Matt sent pics of Max enjoying his mini-break, "bro" time. I cannot recommend Matthew enough. I am a helocopter dog parent but have 100% confidence in Matthew. Book him. Seriously...”
10. Sebastian O.
“Sebastian was a wonderful careing dog sitter for my Mother’s golden doodle. He has a beautiful , super clean home with a big fenced in back yard. We will most definitely be using him in the future.”
11. Karen P.
“Karen and her husband are wonderful! This was our first time trying the Rover app and they made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with them. Karen sent us updates and pictures every day which is something that we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karen to take care of your dog if you ever need it.”
12. Christy M.
“Christy took great care of our dog! She was flexible to our schedule and sent us updates on how our pup was doing while we were away. Christy lives right by a huge park and we could tell our dog had a wonderful time playing with her during our trip.”
13. Marina P.
“Thank you for caring for Bo on such a short notice and thanks for the updates throughout his stay. He looks happy and healthy back at home so I'm grateful for the care given to him. 🙏”
14. Shannon L.
“Shannon has fostered and loves dogs, which gives me great confidence when she walks our dog. She is punctual and attentive to every dog she is responsible for. She has collected toys and blankets for dogs in pounds. I feel completely confident with our dog in Shannon's care.”
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. Brian B.
“I trust Brian and Erin and I feel confident leaving Benji with them. Benji likes their dog (and didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up). Thank you, Brian and Erin!”
17. 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.”
18. Brook O.
“Brook was great! She did a great job coming up with a plan for what would work for my dog and really catered to her specifics. We were a bit late on drop off and had some instructions that weren’t in the bio and Brook was flexible for both. She also sent good updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
19. Sara H.
“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!”
20. Brittany V.
“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!”

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.
