“Lucas and his family are super friendly! Nova was exhausted from her day of fun. They have a huge backyard that is fenced, allowing her to run around safely. Definitely would recommend Lucas for daycare :)”
“Chris and Finley are lovely! Jovi had a great time and made great friends. She also came home tired from all the fun they had on walks and at the dog park. We felt safe leaving Jovi with Chris and Finley. We knew she was in caring, loving hands and paws.”
“We had a great experience and highly recommend Adrienne as a sitter. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us know this would be a good fit for everyone. During Norman’s stay, she was attentive, communicative, and sent daily updates with pictures and videos, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We also appreciated that the dogs had access to a nearby fenced-in dog park for exercise and play, as well as a separated areas in the house to relax when they needed a break from the excitement. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I have a house with a fenced yard. I like to walk my dogs and will take yours along if desired. My dogs play well with all nice dogs. The longest time between being let outside is 6 hours. If requested, I can take your dog with me almost everywhere I go. I can also come to your house to dog sit depending on location. We can stay in constant touch by phone and/or e-mail. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Open the door to let them out, fill up food and water bowls. Give them treats. Clean up pet hair. Give dogs apoquil when allergies/rash appear. I have a decent sized fenced yard, so they will be free to run around. I am vigilant about scooping poop as soon as possible.
“Justin is absolutely wonderful! My sweet, quirky fur baby had a great time hanging out with him. He sent updates and pictures (which always makes a dog mama smile) and was very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking another stay with him soon!”
“Jessica was so great! She was very accommodating to me needing to drop Noodle off super early in the morning and sent me pictures & updates throughout the day. Highly recommend & will definitely use again! :)”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I currently have two Basset Hounds, ages 3 and 4, two 9-year-old pigs who are kept completely separate from the dogs, and a cat. I grew up with German Shepherds and reptiles, and over the years I’ve also had Great Danes, hamsters, ferrets, crayfish, and plenty of other animal friends. I’m comfortable with everything from big dogs to small animals, and I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I know how hard it can be for pets when their people are away, so my biggest priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as at home as possible. Whether that means lots of attention and playtime, a good walk, couch cuddles, or simply giving a more independent pet their space, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat my ow, with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. 🐾 I am currently home all day and night most week days and some weekends. Your pets will be loved on constantly the entire time they are here. My two Bassets love having company and are always up for playing or cuddling. There’s plenty of couch space for dogs who like to snuggle, and they even have access to the bed—with stairs! I’m happy to accommodate both the social butterfly who wants to be part of everything and the dog who would rather have some space to relax. I don’t have a fully fenced-in yard, but I have plenty of yard space in a quiet neighborhood. There is a small, short fenced area directly off the porch with a patch of grass for quick potty breaks. Dogs can also be taken outside on a leash or tethered, depending on what they’re accustomed to and what their owner prefers. I’m also very accustomed to accidents in the house—one of my Bassets, Polly, has them regularly—so a dog who isn’t perfectly house-trained, has occasional accidents, or needs more frequent potty breaks is absolutely not a problem. I have an XL crate if that is something they prefer. My other Basset, Hank has bad anxiety and takes daily medications so that is not a problem either. Most importantly, I know being away from their people and usual surroundings can be stressful for pets. I want your dog to feel like they’re staying at a second home rather than just being boarded somewhere. I’ll do my best to stick to their routine, learn their quirks, give them plenty of attention, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back 🐾❤️
“Deanna could not have been better with my two dogs. My Malamute was getting jealous of any attention Deanna got from any other dog, including my Pomsky, and she handled it wonderfully. She, very obviously, loves dogs and knows how to handle them. Also, her dogs were wonderful.”
“Abby was great! I had a last minute sitter pull out and she was so easy to book in a very short notice. Samson loved her dog, they played for hours. I appreciate your communication throughout the day. It was a great experience. Thanks Abby!”
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”
About: We’ve had dogs all our lives and have not been without a dog for the past 15 years. We love spending time with our furry friends and friend's and family's furbabies. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large great danes. Stephanie even worked at a doggy daycare in her teens/early 20s. While we mostly take care of dogs, we would love to have the privilege to spend time with your cat(s), too. We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of our own and are ready to spend time with your special animal baby of any (except snakes for Stephanie- so sorry!) species. (If you have a cow that you'd like to be checked on, Stephanie is your girl!) We both work from home. When you aren't available or are just too darn tired to take Winnie the Poodle for a walk or they just need someone to spend some time with, hit us up and we’ll do it for you! Our schedule is pretty flexible. If our calendar here isn't showing that we’re available, send us a message anyway and we can probably work something out. In our world, furry companions aren't just pets—they're cherished family members, each with their own quirks and unconditional love to share. We’ve spent a lifetime embracing the joy of treating them not just as animals, but as beloved children with wagging tails and boundless affection. In our care, your pets are not just under a watchful eye; they're enveloped in a warm embrace, showered with the same love and attention we give to our own family. Because to us, love knows no bounds, whether it's wrapped in fur or flesh.
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet sitter and outdoor enthusiast with a degree in wildlife biology. I’d love to meet your pet or pets and provide a caring, loving home while you’re away. Whether this means walking the dogs, grooming, playing or sitting with the cats, administering medicine, feeding the fish, or watering your beloved plants, I can do it. While you are away, I will treat your pets as my own. Rest assured, they will be lavished with the love and attention that they need! I have over 14 years of professional animal handling experience, though I've taken care of animals since I was a kid - primarily cats and our family dog, but also more exotic critters like birds, raccoons, and squirrels! My professional experience includes wildlife rehabilitation, vet assistance, and kennel work. I worked at the Pittsburgh Zoo for 10 years, providing animal care to a large range of species from reptiles to birds to bugs. I love all animals and can't wait to meet yours and let them feel cared for in any special way they need while you are away. Thank you for considering me! I currently have a wide-open schedule, allowing lots of time for play and special attention to any specific care requirements. I am available for overnight care, walks during the week, but sorry no boarding at this time. I am extremely responsible and attentive to detail - I understand that each individual animal requires different care and attention, and I am prepared to provide whatever they need. Whether they need medication, a long run, some peace and quiet, I will treat them with the love and respect they so rightly deserve!
“We are first-time dog-owners, and finding someone to watch our puppy Royce felt overwhelming. But Royce stayed with Tyler for a day as a trial run and came home happy and unstressed - and we felt so thankful to have found someone who was not only comfortable for Royce but who also enjoyed our puppy. The pictures and updates were very fun to receive; Royce clearly had a great time. We have already booked two future boarding dates with Tyler!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats taken them on walks making sure they were fed and making sure they are taken care of I currently doing CDL school Monday-Thursday 5:00-10pm so any time before or after I can take care of pets. I love all pets so any pet will do I make sure they are fed and well taken care of if they need to go on a walk I will take them as well
About: Hi! We have a 2 year old neutered male Samoyed who loves to play! We’d be happy to welcome another high energy dog or older dog to our home for a short or extended stay. We treat all dogs in our care as our own and can accommodate 1 long walk (~40 mins plus) and 2 medium walks (~20 mins each) throughout the day. Dogs will also have access to our small fenced back yard for bathroom breaks throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I understand updates and pictures are a MUST can make the difference between enjoying your time away and worrying about your fur baby. You will receive consistent check-ins from us to ensure you have that peace of mind. Please reach out to find out if your dog has any behavioral or reactivity issues that we can accommodate - it is always important for us to do a meet up before taking on new clients to ensure our dog and your dog will be happy during the stay. I am also happy to accommodate day time care only rates for people who would like someone home with their pet during the workday or an extended day out of the house. I work from home and am available for round the clock pet care. My partner, nic, works hybrid and will also be available to help care for your dog! Since we have our own dog, we rarely both leave the house at the same time, and we never leave for longer than 4 hrs a day. With a high energy Samoyed, my life revolves around making sure he has the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. We’d love to have your pet join us for our 8am walk, 2:30pm walk, and 8pm evening long walk. We also take our dog to Schenley for fetch (empty field only) on the long leash - please let us know if you think your dog would enjoy that activity too! My personal goal is to help my dog meet more dog friends - we will do everything in our power to make sure Frank and his new bestie are both happy and healthy during their stay! Our standard protocols: - no toys (some dogs will express resource guarding behavior when not set up for success) - dogs will always be fed separately (same rationale as above) - crating can be accommodated but we typically do not crate our pup when we leave the house and dogs will be separated upstairs/downstairs when unattended - reactive dogs on leash will be walked separately as needed **please reach out if your dog might require any additional accommodations outside of our standard protocol**
“My dogs had so much fun with Denyal, they didn’t want to leave! She gave them outdoor time and made sure they were comfortable inside. Will be using her again, for sure!”
About: I’m a dog whisperer. They understand us more than we think, they are created to be in subjection to us. Hh hh hh hh hh The flexibility works well with my lifestyle. I am a busy mom but so excited to do fun flexible work. Hh hh hh hh hh I try to respect the animal and its routine. I know that makes life easier for mom and dad, but also it’s less stress. Hh
“We had a great experience with Gretchen! We were in town for a wedding and looking for someone to come to our rental house and sit with our dog there. Even though this is not a standard dog-sitting situation, she was willing to accommodate us. Our pup was calm and content when we returned and everything worked out great.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.

Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Braddock is $64 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $95 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 637 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Braddock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Braddock commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 637 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of PA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
