Ryan always had a dog growing up and was a good dog person. Ryan took his dog o walks fed them and gave a lot of hugs, of course they slept with him. Ryan is very responsible and would make a great dog walker

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.

Brett was great. He was super loving and attentive with our two dogs, who felt totally at home in his house and fenced in yard. He shared regular updates and pics and did a great job caring for their medication needs and managing their behavioral quirks. We’re so happy to have found Brett and are looking forward to boarding with him again! ❤️??

Drew is hands down the best house and pet sitter. She takes excellent care of my 5 animals (2 cats, 2 dogs and 1 turtle) and they all love her. One of my dogs is an extremely skittish, traumatized rescue and Drew has gone above and beyond to befriend her. Now I get photos of them snuggling on the couch together, which speaks volumes about Drew's gentle nature and patience. I always feel so comfortable leaving everyone in Drew's care. She follows directions, administers medication, and she leaves my house super clean and tidy too, which is always nice to come home to.

The best first Rover experience!! What a great little family to take in my pup for a night. Patrick, Tino, and Luna are the bee’s knees. From a meet and greet to the drop off and pick up, I was kept well informed and received the cutest pictures. I feel safe leaving my girl in their care and I WILL be booking with Patrick and Tino again. ??

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.

THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Rose watched our pup Nathan over the weekend and I will be exclusively user her in the future for any and all pet sitting. The room she has for her Rover guests is clean and very comfortable for dogs. Her two dogs Daisy and Whiskey are really nice and sweet pups and got along great with ours! Rose provided plenty of enrichment and playtime for Nathan and we did not worry at all while he was under her care. Everyday she made sure to update us and send photos which was super nice. Nathan even came down with tummy issues the day before our trip and Rose still accepted our sitting appointment and even got him better again! She has an amazing knowledge of pet nutrition and (after asking permission of course) fed him a diet to help his tummy! While doing this, she even recommended food that would be better suited for his size and type of dog. I’m so happy we found Rose and look forward to many more sitting appointments with her!

Ansley saved the day for me. On very short notice she was able to care for Finn for several days. Not ever using her before, I was anxious until I met her and her pups. I knew I had left Finn in great hands. She sent pics everyday while he played and on walks while we were gone. Her pups welcomed Finn into their home so much so he never even knew I left. I would highly recommend her.

Victoria is absolutely awesome! She suggested a meet and greet before our stay given my dog hasn’t met cats before. She was so clearly knowledgeable from the start; meeting us outside with one of her dogs and gradually introducing our dog to her pets. Our pup can play rough and be a bit wild since he’s only a year old but she seemed totally confident in managing all the dogs’ behavior. Her home is super pet friendly (pets allowed on furniture, fenced yard) and she knows a ton about watching dogs. She noted she would feed dogs separately to limit resource guarding and had a brilliant method of having me leave while my dog was outside when I dropped him off to reduce separation anxiety. My dog had an amazing time with Victoria! She sent regular text, photo, and video updates which we so appreciated. She allowed him to sleep in her bed with her and clearly spoiled him like one of her own. He was getting over a mild ear infection and she even gave him his last few doses of medication! We had a great experience with Victoria and will definitely use her in the future!

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.
