“Coralee and her family are wonderful people. They were so warm and loving, it felt like we were leaving Olive with family. Olive and Coralee's pup Angel became good friends. Olive looked happy and relaxed in all the pics Coralee sent, which we appreciated a lot along with her regular updates. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Luna had a great time!! She tends to be very anxious but warmed up quickly. Stephanie and Philip were great at communicating with us and we were relieved to know she was with people who treated her like family!”
“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.”
“Tamakia was so great to our two dogs! We have one grumpy old man who is fairly needy and doesn’t warm up to just anyone, but he absolutely adores her. We’ve now booked with Tamakia twice and each time received many updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Joe is a great pet-sitter. He really takes the time to get to know your dog and the owner. He offered to help me with getting her house trained while I was away and sent me photos of my dog throughout the day. He has a small backyard that is perfect for any size pet. I felt very comfortable leaving MiMi with him and will definitely be using him in the future. I highly recommend him :) ”
“Krista was responsive and shared daily pictures and updates. Finn came back happy, healthy, tired, and received a good amount of treats. What more could you ask for?”
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.
“Our dog Banana had an amazing time with Damara! We got photos and updates daily and we felt very comfortable leaving her in Damara’s care for an extended time. We would 10/10 recommend!”
“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”
“Megan and her family are delightful. I felt safe leaving nugget with them because since moment one she was charming, transparent and sweet. My best recommendation for the platform is to honestly confess that I will rebook if I ever need a sitter again. Nugget was so visibly happy”
“Jojo had a great time! There were other dogs at Victoria’s during the holidays and they got along great. Victoria does a great job of sending photos, video, and text updates. Very professional and I think it was a great environment for my lil puperoni”
“Coco is so happy to have friends at Amy's . Amy is such a great sitter. We never worry about her and she is always good when we pick her up. I highly recommend Amy for a safe, reliable sitter.”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Alysia is, without a doubt, the most spectacular human being I have ever encountered—and I’m not just saying that because she’s my best friend and knows all my secrets. She routinely defies the laws of time and space to go above and beyond for people, casually pulling off miracles even when her own schedule is a chaotic mess. Most importantly, she loves my fur babies like they are her own biological offspring, which means she is officially the favorite aunt. Whenever life decides to throw a curveball, Alysia is already there, cape on, stepping in to make sure absolutely everything is under control. 11/10 stars, highly recommend this human.”
“Laura made Willow feel right at home from the start! And Laura made us feel comfortable right from the start with all of the photos/texts she shared. Couldn't have been happier with Willow's care.”
“Kelly took great care of my two small dogs, Ralph and Sarah. She was conscientious and asked me good questions to get a sense of their needs and preferences. They were very comfortable staying with her, and I would gladly ask her to take care of them again.”
“Awesome communication, she took great care of my dog who was only a few weeks post surgery. It was complicated with her medications and restrictions but Erin did fantastic. I’m glad my pup was able to have such a good caregiver for her mini vacay as well :)”

Regina took extra care of my baby. She made sure he had plenty of play time and plenty of time outside. She was diligent in sending updates, videos and pictures of my baby playing with the other dogs enjoying himself. I’m extremely pleased with the care and attention Regina showed Winston, and I intend on having her watch him again.
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!
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.
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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Penn Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Penn Hills is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 864 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Penn Hills. 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 Penn Hills 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 Penn Hills 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 Penn Hills.
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 Penn Hills 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.
