“This was our first time leaving Bear with Tyler and he was amazing! We have always left our dogs in kennels when we left for vacation, but wanted to try using a dog sitter because Bear always came home exhausted and a little stressed. Luckily, we found Tyler! He was very welcoming and obviously loves dogs. After our meet a week before our vacation , I and my family felt completely at ease leaving Bear with Tyler. During our trip, Tyler sent regular updates and pictures showing how great Bear was doing. At no time were we worried or concerned. We would absolutely recommend Tyler to anyone looking to have their dog in a caring, relaxed, and active environment. We will absolutely be using Tyler in the future! Bear loved hanging with him!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Our Finn ? is somewhat anxious and he came home after the weekend unaffected by our time away. Maria shared daily and was great to communicate with. Will book again for our next trips in July and October.”
“Rebooking because we are completely satisfied with our last one, Regina kept us updated on our pup the whole time and he’s received top class pampering. She gave us a few valuable tips and even checked up on us after the booking, you don’t see that level of care and dedication just about anywhere. book Regina and you won’t be disappointed!”
“OH MY GOSH! If there were 100 stars, Natasha should have them! From the first meet and greet, we felt so comfortable leaving our "kids" with this family. We have two big labradoodles, who are spoiled rotten. We have 8 grandchildren who adore Kia and Brandy, so they are used to a lot of attention. Natasha and her family showered them with love and affection. They kept them busy and entertained for two weeks! When I returned home, the dogs weren't the least bit interested in me. They just sashayed over to me, not jumping, licking or anything! That was the test. The last place (Dog Stop) must have been lacking in something, they couldn't jump in the car fast enough. This time I couldn't get them into the car! I want to whole heartedly, recommend (Natasha) and Rover.com to everyone! My entire experience was simple, comfortable and stress free. Natasha sent me photos and updates almost daily. So we could enjoy our vacation and not worry about the treatment of our girls. I will use her any time we have the need and of course if she is available. We love Natasha! If anyone wants to talk further, please let me know! Natasha gets 100 gold stars in my book! Thank you, Jillian”
“Krista was easy to work with and gave the dogs attention and outdoor time. She was flexible when our flight was delayed. She communicated well and sent daily updates which was appreciated!”
“Adrienne is awesome! She was very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, plus she took amazing care of Finn! Adrienne sent plenty of adorable pictures and videos of Finn having a great time playing with Phoebe. Highly recommended, would love to have her watch Finn again.”
“Amy was amazing! Extremely responsive from beginning to end, very flexible, and took great care of my pup. Sent lots of pics and updates. 10/10 would recommend and book with her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from walking and feeding to overnight stays. I often pet-sit for friends when they travel, and I've also rescued and nursed several stray dogs back to health. Every dog I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm able to walk, feed, and spend time with dogs throughout the day, not just during set hours. Weekends and evenings are open for boarding as well. I provide a calm, clean, and secure indoor environment for boarding dogs. Each dog gets a comfortable resting area, and I take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks. Safety is always my top priority. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar or hazardous situations.
“We LOVED Victoria. She's a very experienced dog owner and knows how to slowly introduce dogs to keep a safe environment. I've used Rover for a few years but Victoria went out of her way to send extra video and picture updates every few hours. Our dogs were clearly having a good time and doing well. We will definitely rebook if we can!”
“We felt confident leaving Willow with Jessica that she would be well taken care of and loved. Jessica kept us up to date with pictures and Willow looked the princess she believes she is. She definitely made herself at home. We will definitely use Jessica again when we go away. Robin Harvey”
“Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!”
“We are over the moon in love with Tia and her home as a home-away-from-home for our darling Rudy. We have never been so happy with the care he gets when we are away as we are now, having had him stay at Tia's home. We could see in every picture she sent that he was happy and thriving. He was always smiling, playing, cuddling or snoozing and he just looked so happy in every picture sent to us.. We feel that Rover was a fabulous find for us, but more than that, choosing Tia was the best decision we've made for dog care in years. Just knowing he was in such a supportive environment eliminated all our worries about leaving him while we traveled. This was the best experience ever! Tia cared for our dog just the way we wanted, and it was so nice to have him in her home, rather than a cement and chain link kennel.”
“Amazing amazing amazing! We trust Bryn and Carson like no other for watching our Benny. He always comes home happy, clean and as if he was right at home the whole stay. Boots and Benny are besties and the photo updates make my whole day. Thank you again!”
About: Ive been around dogs and caring for them my entire life so taking care of a dog is something I truly enjoy! I’ve spent a lot of time training and working with my own dogs including teaching basic commands and reinforcing good behavior. I’m patient, attentive. So whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Im currently in college and work a few days out of the week but I am usually free after 2pm and and available any time on weekends! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a safe and walkable neighborhood. I always make sure pets are comfortable and supervised, and I follow each pet parents instructions closely regarding routines, walks, feedings, and more. I want every dog to feel safe and at home!
“Sarah has watched my pet multiple times and always takes excellent care of her. She is friendly, flexible with scheduling, and was able to administer meds and communicate updates regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”
“As always, Valerie was amazing with our little furry family member Penny. It gives us great peace of mind to know that Penny is being cared for by someone as kind, thoughtful, and competent as Valerie. We highly recommend her for your pet! She is the best and we are grateful that she can care for Penny!”
“Beatriz is always the best out there! I trust her more with my dog than anyone else, and my dog always comes back so happy and well taken care of. So thankful for her, she is a blessing to all dog owners!”
“I always look for Maura and Matt first when looking for a sitter!! They are fantastic and absoultely love Pickles like their own dog. I never have to worry at all when he is there. I cannot recommend them enough!”

Our dog was so spoiled and loved with Coralee and family. We trust Coralee to make the right judgements and calls when it comes to our pup and she always comes back so happy and exhausted from lots of cuddles and play time. Thanks again to Coralee for loving our dog and taking such good care of her!
Natasha is amazing !! I had a weekend getaway planned with family (due to my busy schedule I realized I didn’t communicate with my kids in advance about keeping our dog ) on the day I was due to leave I was debating on canceling my trip and then I found Natasha , she was available to keep him for the weekend . She put my mind at ease immediately upon meeting her , I could tell he would be in good hands She sent me updates several times over the weekend , she did an adorable fall photo shoot with him. My heart was so happy that he was well taken care of and loved all weekend . 😊 I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for additional bookings !
Truly our dogs are our fur children and leaving them with anyone causes hesitation and Rafael understood that concern. Rafael and his family were absolutely amazing with Giotto. Photographs and updates were sent. The response time for any questions I had was immediate. The transition home was almost painless - it was almost like Giotto had found a second home. I will be using him again for both short- and long-term visits.
I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.
Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.
Kiah is fantastic! She sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt such peace of mind knowing that my dog was loved and having the best time with Kiah and her pets. She did a great job handling my dog’s allergies and reactivity and I would absolutely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fox Chapel is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $48 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 870 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fox Chapel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Fox Chapel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fox Chapel home-away-from-home, 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 Fox Chapel.
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 Fox Chapel 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 , 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 .
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.
