“Richard was a wonderful host, he gave me plenty of updates as well as sending me pics through out my pups stay. He had a big fenced in yard with plenty of space for my dog to run around and play 10/10 definitely recommend.”
“We had a great experience leaving our 7 month pup, Willie Nelson, with Christy! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone for the day and Christy made it very easy. She provided many photos/updates throughout the day. Thank you Christy”
“Adrienne took wonderful care of Finn! She sent plenty of photo updates, and he clearly had a great time with her pups. Would be happy to have her watch Finn again, and I know Finn would love that, too!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Marissa and her husband!!! Highly recommended! They were responsive, kind and always in constant communication with me! They treated our buddy like a King! He was sad to leave at the end of the first day and happy to go back the second day. He is a good boy, but can be temperamental. He has not spent much time around unfamiliar people or other dogs, but they welcomed him with open arms, sent updates and took the most amazing pictures! And now he has new buddies! I will definitely use them again!”
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”
“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”
“Caitlin & Conor were wonderful hosts! Their dog Stone was so sweet and very playful. My dog came out very happy and was pleased to hear that both pups played chase together, which is not common for my pup. I could tell he really enjoyed his stay and we cannot wait to bring him back:) They were so nice, very welcoming, and very easy to communicate with!!!!”
“SSAVANNA WAS GREAT! WATSON RETURNED VERT HAPPT. HE MUST HAVE ENJOYED THE DOG PARK SAVANNAH TREATED HIM TO! Will be happy to have Savannah care for Watson again! Laura”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new dogs. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor fun. Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.
About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.
“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”

About: I have been involved in dog rescue for 10 years. I have dog walked and dog sat neighbors, family, and friends pets. I have Foster dogs for rescues in the Pittsburgh surrounding area. I also do in home dog grooming. ❗🐾 I am currently doing in home grooming so that leaves me available at home throughout the day Monday through Sunday which leaves me available to be Hands-On with the dog(s) I am caring for. I do have a fenced in yard but I also do like taking dogs for walks while I'm dog sitting. I do own a few dogs and a few cats. My dogs and cats are very well mannered and are dog friendly.
“Heather and David were great! My pup had a blast at their house with their dogs. My pup played so much she fell asleep as soon as she got in the vehicle. Would and will use them again!”
“Jon was awesome with my two pups Ziggy and Murphy. He sent updates during the day and by the time we met up with Jon to pick the pups up at the dog park they were well worn out from a day of play and slept well on a long car trip as we headed back to Virginia. Definitely will book John again next time we're back in Pittsburgh!!”
About: I have a dog. Lilly she is 14. I take care of my brothers dog and friends pets! I am reliable and understand that pets are like a child to people!! If I am able to help someone feel better about leaving their pet all day that’s what I want to be able to do! I have the time and space! I am currently working full time but work from home! I am able to help others out with their pet if they are in the office! I have a big open space indoors. I can crate your dog if needed but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take the dog out as often as needed!! My yard is not fenced. Would need to use a leash but there is plenty of grass that they will be able to find a spot to do their business!!!
