Ivana was the BEST. Our dog stayed with Ivana at her home for 7 days. Ivana was extremely communicative, very flexible, and very professional. She responded to all my messages in a reasonable time frame, gave me morning updates and photos each day, and was overall very sweet. Our dog is very shy and not super affectionate, but Ivana was patient and calm with her and we could tell from pics/messages that our dog had warmed up to her in no time. The next time we travel we will absolutely be looking to see if Ivana is available. We loved working with her and would absolutely recommend her services.

Kathleen was great! She accommodated me at the last minute when I really needed her and put my mind at ease! She was very thorough and caring while getting to know Munchkin’s habits and interests. She has a very nice house with a fenced in yard where she could run around and play. She updated me regularly with photos and videos of her and took her on a long walk. Kathleen was a fantastic find.

Christy was awesome! We were away for a pretty long trip (ten nights) and I didn't worry about Billy at all. I had pictures every day and could see that Bill was really comfortable with both Christy and Bandit. I have already booked another stay!

Ansley was the perfect host for Colbie while I was away. Before the weekend even started she agreed to chat with me on the phone so I could feel comfortable leaving Colbie with her. She was kind and very detailed about her availability for drop off and pick up. She was even very flexible when I wanted to pick up Colbie earlier. When we arrived she greeted us as we were walking up and then allowed us to walk around the house. This made me feel sure she was the right host for Colbie. While I was away, Ansley sent pictures of Colbie during activities and cuddling with her on the couch. I will definitely use Ansley again. I trust her implicitly with my Colbie.

My dog Willow did great with Monica. Monica was very communicative during the booking process, sent a helpful reminder a few days before, and had a very calm energy when we dropped Willow off. Willow can be a bit anxious but she seemed great when we picked her up. I would definitely book with Monica again.

When we first met Kristi, her warmth and enthusiasm seemed like a perfect fit to care for our beloved Benny! (He has some serious separation anxiety) The first afternoon, she sent a video of her engaging with him to look for mommy...he really responded to her encouragement. The next days she sent texts and photos which made us feel comforted in knowing she was taking good care of Benny. Benny seemed great at pickup and was happily tired when we got home. And, Kristi said Benny also did fine with Hashbrown, the Cat. Thank you Kristi for a great experience!! Would recommend you to everyone, as long as you'd be available when we need you!!☆☆

Brian and his family were amazing with my pup Sniper. In constant contact with us, sending us lots of pictures, and mostly very flexible schedule wise when we had to change our plans last minute. Will definitely be setting up more play dates for Sniper and Hanks, couldn’t be happier!!

I identify as a crazy dog mom- I get nervous entrusting my dog Blue’s safety with anyone other than myself or my fiancé. That being said, I would 100% trust Jacqui to watch my dog and here is why: Jacqui will take care of your dog with the same amount of love and affection that you would yourself, as well as holding to your high (sometimes ridiculously so, in my case) standards. I was a typical “new mom” and was overly cautious with my new best friend. As roommates, Jacqui babysat for me while I was gone and she was very intentional about taking care of Blue in the way that she knew I was comfortable with. Jacqui not only greatly exceeds (soars WELL beyond, really) the bare minimum for care, but she will also bond and care very deeply for your pet. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t immediately take to her, and us dog moms can agree the pups are excellent judges of character. This means that not only can you rest assured that your dog is in wonderful hands, but that your dog will be extremely excited to see their friend Jacqui when she comes to visit. As her former roommate and longtime friend, I can attest full heartedly to Jacqui’s impeccable character as a human being, and I want you to know that you can feel completely comfortable welcoming her into your home and pet’s lives. It would be very difficult to find a better care giver for your best friend. I couldn’t recommend Jacqui more to take care of your babies!

Jes was great! It was our first time leaving our dog, Olive, at another person’s home. Jes and her partner were super accommodating, and had no problems with slight changes in pickup/drop off times. Olive was super well taken care of, we’ll definitely be using Jes again in the future!

So grateful to for Brandon! He looked after my pup while I was away for a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly and George came back happier than ever. We’ll definitely look for Brandon’s support in the future!

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 ?

Brenda is awesome. I had so much anxiety leaving my pups behind but after a meet-and-greet that went amazingly I felt better. Her house is clean and tidy and her updates (with pictures!) let me know that my two dogs settled in quickly. 100% will choose her next time we need dog care!

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.
