Dog Boarding in Oakwood, 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.”

“This is our second time bringing our boys to Victoria. She is so sweet and kind to both myself and the boys. She sends lots of videos and gives updates. I would definitely recommend her!!”

“Maria was super awesome with our Zoe. We boarded with her last minute; she was very communicative and responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. We boarded with her for four nights and she made sure to send pictures and updates 2-3x per day! She and her family truly went above and beyond; they even sent Zoe home with a bag of Halloween treats! I can tell that she really cares for the fur babies she takes in and treats them as her own. Highly recommend her services and will definitely choose her again for our pup’s needs.❤️”

“Raeann was by far the best Rover we ever had. She took the time to meet our dog beforehand and was wonderful. She gave us updates with pictures very often and made us feel like we left our dog with an old friend. I'd recommend Raeann to any pet owner who wants a worry-free experience! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Rachel K.

“Bex is always exhausted when she gets home but it's because she has so much fun exploring - we love Dana and the girls and we know they take great care of our pup!”

Kelley H.

“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.

“Brian and his family were amazing with my pup Sniper. In constant contact with us, sending us lots of pictures, and mostly very flexible schedule wise when we had to change our plans last minute. Will definitely be setting up more play dates for Sniper and Hanks, couldn’t be happier!!”
