“We had a wonderful experience with Nelia & Brett. They took great care of my dog and she seemed much happier in their care versus the more traditional boarding options we've used previously. We felt so comfortable with the multiple updates and photos. Our sweet girl seemed so happy and we look forward to booking with them again.”
“Raeann was the best, although his stay was only for a day, our pup loves Raeann! She is so full of love and joy and our pup sensed that from our meet & greet and during his stay! Raeann is so very welcoming and warm-hearted, a perfect fit for our sweet cuddler pup!! Thanks Raeann!! ❤️”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Victoria has watched my 5 year old GSD many times and I’m always impressed by her level of care, responsiveness, and communication. She sends video updates multiple times per day- and as an added bonus Luna has a blast playing with the other dogs.”
“She was great with kona, and Kona has a lot of energy! I got lot’s of updates with pictures/videos. I would recommend her and I would go back again if needed!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Pet boarding requires a lot of trust, and there’s no one else in Pittsburgh that I’d trust more to care for dog than Mike. He takes great care, ensures plenty of active time outdoors, and always keeps me updated on how my pet is doing during stays. When I return, my dog looks like she is right at home, so I know she always enjoys the company of Mike, Roxy, Norm, and the family. Absolutely recommend booking with Mike”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jacqueline took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle, Lolo, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Denyl was a great sitter! Very easy to make plans with, got back to us with question quickly and was very accommodating. My dogs had a blast and took to her easily. Would highly recommend her !”
“Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara again.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Poppy, over the holiday weekend. Poppy has a special diet and can’t have any human food, and Julia was very careful to follow all of her instructions. Poppy also gets a little anxious when left alone, especially during fireworks, and Julia was incredibly patient and comforting with her throughout the weekend. Julia kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Poppy and knew exactly how to make her feel safe and comfortable. From the moment they met, Julia put Poppy at ease. it was obvious she’s a true dog person. Julia is mature, responsible, and an excellent communicator. We felt completely comfortable leaving Poppy in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
“When we traveled out of the country for a month, we left our lovely cat Joey Bananas in a boarding place. We felt he deserve so much better and that's when we found Laura a few days later. She was so understanding and helpful. She picked up our cat from boarding and took him to her home where he got all the love and attention he needed. We're so grateful for her and her beautiful son, for all the cuddling and playing they did with Joey. She sent us many updates and pictures. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands! Will be using her service for our next vacation! I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone that is looking for great loving care for their pets.”
“Droopy was well-loved and well taken care of by Sebastian. I felt confident leaving him in Sebastian's care, and I will definitely rebook next time I return to Pittsburgh with my dog!”

Luna loved staying with Kate and her husband. From the moment we dropped Luna off, it was clear how much Kate genuinely cared about animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Luna was well cared for and loved!
Nelia took wonderful care of Cesar and kept us updated with photos while he was in her care! We felt totally at ease knowing that she would care for Cesar as if he were her dog. We trusted her and felt so grateful that she kept him for a holiday weekend especially with short notice! I would not hesitate to recommend Nelia and her family. Cesar was very happy being part of the family!
Lauren (and Angela) ware an absolutely wonderful hosts to my spoiled dog while I was away for a week. She was so communicative with me - sending me super cute updates on the regular. It was also so clear that her home loves dogs and are committed to ensuring their comfort. She administered my pup's medicine and followed my instructions to a tee. I truly couldn't be more pleased to have entrusted my girl to their home and care! A+ Rover experience!

Maria cared for our Sheepadoodle, Henry, for six days while we were out of state. She sent daily updates and photos throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind, and Henry came home healthy and well cared for. Henry can be a bit anxious when he's away from home, and Maria kept us informed about how he was doing. We appreciated her communication and the care she provided during our trip. Thank you, Maria, for taking good care of Henry while we were away.
Boone had such a great stay with AJ! We were away for five days, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. We got regular updates and pictures, and it was obvious Boone felt very comfortable and got lots of love and attention while we were away. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!
Cindy is absolutely amazing! She sends daily updates and multiple pictures, which put our minds at ease. We hate to leave our fur babies, but when we do, we can't think of a better place for our dogs. They get multiple walks per day and lots of cuddle time. The only problem is that I don't think they want to leave Cindy's because they have so much fun!
Raeann was our first boarding experience using Rover and we will 1000% board with her again. She was very communicative with us during our vacation and sent many pictures! Our dog was very comfortable with her and absolutely loved sitting outside on her deck. I was most appreciative of the fact that makes sure she doesn’t overlap boarding days with other clients in the event something would delay our travel to get back home in time.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
87% of Castle Shannon sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Castle Shannon landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Castle Shannon home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Castle Shannon.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Castle Shannon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
