“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
“Teddy got along with Jessica very well and she sent updates frequently (txt and video) during Teddy's stay with her. Since it was Teddy's first boarding, we were bit nervous about him but Jessica took good care of him for the stay. Jessica was very flexible with drop off and pick up time. We'll use her service again and highly recommend her.”
“Andrew and Karen took great care of our little lady. She seemed to have a great time with their dog, Finn, and got lots of love and attention. We also appreciated their prompt replies and pictures.”
“Dodger came back happy! Michelle sent photos and updates everyday and was very mindful of our requests. I'm insuring his behavior. We recommend Michelle and will be using her again in a few weeks!”
“We've used Gary twice now and HIGHLY recommend booking with him!! Our pup loves going to his house and playing with his dogs. Always prompt on responses, has plenty of yard space for the dogs, and very caring! Checks in and sends pictures while you're away which is nice :)”
“Samantha was FABULOUS! My dogs seemed so relaxed and at home with her and her family! I will 100% send my dogs in their own vacation with Samantha the next time my family and I go out of town! 🐶🥰”
“Emily and Patrick and of course Eli were wonderful with my little guy! So warm and welcoming during the meet and greet and very easy going with lots of picture and video updates! I felt at ease knowing my pup was loved on and cared for while I was out of town and would highly recommend them for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“For my first time using Rover, I was very pleased with Augusta. She is very nice, calm and patient. I appreciated her good communication which gave me peace knowing my fur baby was in good hands.”
“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”
“Maria is absolutely incredible. She took excellent care of our old guy and went WAY above and beyond for him ( and us!) This includes getting him meds from our vet, giving him a bath, and in general putting up with his anxiety. We got lots of updates and it helped us enjoy our trip knowing he was well taken care of. Thanks so much for everything.”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“I absolutely love Debbie and Adam. They took such great care of my chihuahua, Ozzie. I got lots of pictures sent to me and I could see both of them involved with loving care for him. They have two small dogs of their own and one of them shared her bed with Ozzie so he’d be happy! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them from now on.”
“I have a really hard time leaving my dog with anyone but Denyal made me feel comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and responded quickly when I checked in with her. My dog got lots of exercise and attention, and since other dogs were staying with her as well, they all played together. I would highly recommend Denyal.”
“Beth and her family deserve far more than 5 stars! The care and attention they gave our pups were truly exceptional. From the moment we met them, it was clear that our dogs would be in loving, capable hands. Beth and her family not only showered our dogs with affection, but also took them on daily walks and made sure they felt right at home. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside of immediate family, so we were understandably a bit nervous. But Beth quickly put our minds at ease with her daily updates, sharing photos, sweet stories and little moments that made us smile and laugh from afar. I’m so grateful to have found Beth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Just a wonderful, conscientious, and caring family. They’re so loving and so communicative. We felt like our little guy was in such great hands and we really hope to engage with them in the future.”
“As a new dog mom anxious to leave her 7 month old puppy home for a few days, I was hesitant to book just ANY sitter. I was looking for the best and found it with Joe! He is down to earth, polite, and you can tell he genuinely cares for all of the dogs he watches. Not only are his other reviews completely accurate, he went above and beyond to ensure my boyfriend and I were as comfortable as possible leaving Romano for the weekend. He sent photos of Romano throughout his stay and honestly, it was awesome to see our pup having such a blast. There is no question we will be using Joe's services again and truly appreciate his consistency with communication and booking.”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Valerie is top notch! She truly loves my dog Hershey and he is so happy with her. Hershey has medical needs and she follows my instructions exactly. Several walks per day, trips to the pet store and beyond. Trail hiking, lots of snuggles. I couldn’t find a better sitter! My weekly dog sitter!”

Adisyn took amazing care of our Clyde when we were out of town for the weekend. He had Teddy as an amazing playmate. Adisyn periodically would give updates with photos on how he was doing and activities they were up to. She was also a life saver as our plane ride home ended up cancelled, leaving Clyde there an extra night. She was very understanding and flexible. We will 100% think of Adisyn & Teddy for future stays. Clyde enjoyed his time there:)
Kristina was amazing. Tyger has never been left alone with anyone my daughter didn't know. She was extremely nervous. Kristina sent pictures and kept my daughters anxiety low. Tyger also enjoyed Kristina. She is the only person I will use and I recommend her for any dogs.
Sharon is the BEST. We’ve booked her 4 or 5 times now and each booking has been a great experience. She’s extremely communicative, was great with administering and keeping track of our senior dog’s medications, and made us and our dog extremely comfortable. As long as Sharon’s available, we’ll use her services in the future!
Erin is the best of the best! Our dog has high anxiety with initial separation during drop off, and Erin was so accommodating with her rather long routine of kongs and walks to get her settled. She is excellent with communication and our dog Willow came home so happy <3 We are "those crazy dog parents" and our dog is our child, and we could not be more satisfied with (and grateful for) Erin's care!
Had a wonderful experience! My dog was well cared for from the moment he arrived. I received daily updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while away. He got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and she made sure he was eating and adjusting comfortably to his new surroundings. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and would absolutely book with Sandra again. Highly recommend!
Augusta watches our dog all the time!!!! She and her family is so welcoming and caring. They are apart of our family now. I wouldn’t trust any one else with our dog. Sometimes we need her last minute and she always helps us out. Very reliable and loving. Highly recommend!!! No other sitter is like her. Seriously I would book with her. You would no be disappointed. Thank you so very much!!!
Finn had another wonderful stay with Brittany! She’s the best and takes such good care of our big baby. She provides frequent updates with pictures and videos showing what a great time Finn is having. It makes for such a worry free vacation when we know he’s in good hands and treated like family.

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 East Pittsburgh 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 East Pittsburgh 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 East Pittsburgh 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 East Pittsburgh.
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 East Pittsburgh 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.
