Dog Boarding in Esplen, Pittsburgh, PA

“Kathleen was amazing as always! We received so many pics and videos of Archie on his many walks, eating, visiting neighbors (including his buddy Ron) and enjoying his friends Deion and Duke. We felt at ease our entire trip knowing Archie was having the best time and being well taken care of. Thank you so much for showing Archie so much love and your exceptional service.”

“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”

“It was amazing to have Amy watch our dog! Drop off and pick up were very easy and convenient, and she was wonderful with our pretty anxious and nervous dog. She took great care of him and really went the extra mile in every way. Thanks, Amy!”

“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!”

“Christine was awesome! This was our first time using Rover and she was so helpful anytime we had a question or concern. She updated us the entire trip if anything happened and sent pictures. Our dog absolutely loved her time at Christine’s. Would highly recommend Christine if you need someone to watch your pet.”

Amy M.

“Highly recommend! We needed to book a last-minute sitter with a 6:30 AM start time the following morning. Zeiydah to the rescue! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures and treated Mac so well. We will be booking again. Thank you so much, Zeiydah!”

Kate S.

“As a pet parent, I always wonder if we should kennel or Rover, especially when we have a "needy/seperation anxiety" dog...Eronda exceeded our expectations, she truly loves/has huge heart for animals and commits her time to the animal rescue mission...all of the pics provided proved she spoiled our pet... Would recommend!”

Ronald L.

“Another great visit with Christy. Mungo loves being dropped off at her house. Christy is always responsive, helpful, and flexible. We are so grateful to have such a great sitter.”

Jennifer B.

“I am so happy I found Lisa to care for my boy Hank. She took great care of him and shared lots of pictures. It is hard leaving my dog behind, but I am comforted knowing that he is in a safe environment and has plenty of enrichment and fun.”

Anthony V.

“Kristen was fantastic. She's very flexible with the schedule and allowed us to pick our pup up throughout our trip so he could join us at the dog friendly locations. We would 100% use her again if needed.”

Dana R.

“Theresa boarded my 13 lb bundle of sweetness for a week, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was flexible when our flight times shifted, and more importantly, my pup was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. She can run on anxious side, so her even temperament is a testament to Theresa’s love and care! Lijah also loved Dozer the dog, which means he didn’t mind letting her hog momma for a little snuggle time. Thank you, Theresa! I’ve been using Rover for two years, and have had a few sitters. I recommend Theresa for boarding your pups.”

About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Victoria is a great a sitter! She took care of our anxious pup for 6 days and constantly updated us so throughout his stay. She is extremely understanding, kind and sweet. I felt comfortable he was in great hands throughout my trip.”
