Kathleen is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs:) We usually travel with our dogs, but because we were going to Italy we used Kathleen. She sent us texts, pictures and video daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs. They had an amazing vacation themselves! She took them for daily walks, cuddled and played with them just as we would have. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our babies! I highly recommend her for all of your fur babies! We will definitely be calling Kathleen for our next trip:)

Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)

Victoria took very good care of my two pups! She was extremely communicative and sent me updates and pictures several times a day. I felt very comfortable going on vacation and leaving my dogs in her caring hands. She is very sweet and you can tell she loves all animals. My smaller dog who is shy even came out of his shell during his stay at Victoria's. Very happy!

We had an amazing experience with Josh. Sent frequent updates and our pup was clearly well taken care of at his home. We had a flight delay and had to pick up Teddy very late on a Sunday evening, and Josh and his wife were flexible and accommodating. We will be repeat customers!

Sophie had a great stay with Adam. Adam took her on lots of walks to burn off her puppy energy and sent pictures of their adventures. We had Sophie on a pretty restrictive diet to figure out an allergy and Adam was able to help us keep her on it. Wonderful stay and worry free for me.

Sam watched my German shepherd, Willow, for an overnight. She communicated really well, took great care of Willow, and very easy to work with. It’s clear to see Sam cares about your animal as much as you do, and we would recommend her to anyone!!

Elizabeth was fantastic! This was the first time we had boarded our dog Cookie and Elizabeth was so responsive the entire 4 days by sending us daily updates and pictures that we immediately felt comfortable knowing Cookie was in good hands. Plus, a few days before our trip Cookie got sick and was prescribed an antibiotic. We were worried that would be too much for Elizabeth to take on and she said she had no problem administering her meds because her dog had been through something similar. That also made us feel relieved that she would take care of our recovering pup. We would highly recommend her!

Rachel and her husband, Joel, are so amazing! This is the second time Juno has stayed with them and they took such good care of her again. I feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them and she always sends lots of updates and photos. I can tell they love Juno like she is their own :) I will absolutely continue to board Juno with them!

My dog stayed with Stephen for about a month (all December). Stephen is very responsible. He takes the job very seriously and my dog had a great time with him. He sent pictures frequently and made sure that we are informed about my dogs stay. My dog looks fitter after a month showing she had a frequent walk/run during her stay with Stephen. The most important thing about Stephen is reliability, one other sitters on Rover canceled on me a couple of weeks before my super important trip and I was worried that it may happen again but Stephen assured me that he can do the job and he won’t cancel the service and he kept his word. I highly recommend Stephen.

Jes and Sean were amazing with our dog Simba during an extended stay while we were on vacation. He’s a puppy, so definitely can be high energy, but they made sure he got lots of walks and attention. They even taught him how to sit and give paw before getting a treat. He got an ear infection right before we left and Jes and no problem administering topical ointment for us. We would definitely trust them to watch him again.

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.
