Had a great experience with Matt, from the Meet n Greet and the drop off, to the pick up and everything in between. Matt was very responsive and kept in touch during Mayzie’s stay, assuring us she had adjusted fine, and sending us photos. She’s visiting again in two weeks so I’m relieved that Mayzie has a safe and comfortable place to call home while we are away. Excellent experience overall! I did not worry about my dog’s care because I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to leave their pet in a safe, fun, attentive, welcoming environment. Thanks, Matt!

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 :)

Adam gave us updates and sent great photos of our dog. It sounded like she also got to have a fun vacation, cruising around Adam's neighborhood and checking out the cool spots, while we were out of town! It certainly gave us peace of mind that our dog was enjoying herself and being well taken care of. Thanks, Adam!

Richard is the best! We no longer feel guilty taking trips without our dog Boo knowing that he has the best time at Richard’s. Richard always sends daily pictures and is very communicative, so we never have to worry about our baby.

Kathleen was amazing! I left my puppy with her for five days. During that time, Kathleen kept me up to date with him by sending photos and videos. My puppy cannot get on and off the couch yet because he is still small, so Kathleen bought him stairs to use! She totally went far beyond my expectations of taking care of my puppy. I will definitely use Kathleen again. She is fantastic, and I am grateful!

Liz (and family) provided a very amazing stay for Piper. Proir to selecting Liz as the caregiver, I reviewed the Rover site and reviewed her ratings, then I met with the family first hand. At the visit I felt good about the environment and care that could be provided. Liz even allowed me the opportunity to have a "dry run" of a few hours before making a final decision. When I came to pick up Piper after returning from my trip, she was in very good spirits and was very well adjusted. The next day she did not even give me the "silent" treatment which Piper typcially does after I travel - this was a great sign!!. Liz (and Family) will be my consistent choice for doggy daycare and overnight care when I travel. Thanks Liz!

Elizabeth was amazing! She took care of my high-energy German shepherd like she was her own! She sent pictures and videos every day of everything they did and the adventures they went on. She also brushed her daily and was very attentive and aware of anything else my dog needed. I now feel like my dog has a new second home when we need a sitter!

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.
