“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Our dog is treated like royalty when she stays with Coralee and family. We see her spoiled in all the pictures we get! We’ll be back with at least 2 more sittings before the year is over.”
“Tyler was great with my dog Riley! She immediately took to his house and yard, as well as Tyler himself. He was flexible in terms of scheduling a meet-and-greet that was kinda last minute and was professional. He also provided plenty of photo updates of Riley throughout the stay. Overall, I would definitely use Tyler again for dog sitting.”
“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.”
“With this being my first time using Rover, Sharon was the best choice I could have made for Libra. With Sharon’s communication, I felt so at ease and comfortable while she was there. We will be back!😊”
“Sunny had such a great time staying with Adisyn and her partner! They took him for walks every day, kept up with his usual routine, and even let him sleep in bed with them, which he absolutely loves! Adisyn kept us updated throughout our entire trip with plenty of pictures and videos, and she was always available whenever we needed her. This was Sunny’s first time staying in someone else’s home, so we were a little nervous about how he would adjust, but they made him feel completely comfortable and at home. He came back to us happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t think twice about leaving Sunny with Adisyn again. We’re incredibly grateful for how well she took care of him and for giving us such peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Adisyn! ❤️”
“Jessica is THE BEST!! This is the first time I’ve used Rover. Jessica went above and beyond taking care of Betty! I had no worries! She sent pictures and a video! Jessica always answered my texts. Betty is a beyond picky eater. Jessica didn’t give up and finally got her to eat ! Betty warmed up to her immediately. I’m so happy I chose Jessica and will definitely use her again! Thank you Jessica!!”
About: We’ve had dogs all our lives and have not been without a dog for the past 15 years. We love spending time with our furry friends and friend's and family's furbabies. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large great danes. Stephanie even worked at a doggy daycare in her teens/early 20s. While we mostly take care of dogs, we would love to have the privilege to spend time with your cat(s), too. We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of our own and are ready to spend time with your special animal baby of any (except snakes for Stephanie- so sorry!) species. (If you have a cow that you'd like to be checked on, Stephanie is your girl!) We both work from home. When you aren't available or are just too darn tired to take Winnie the Poodle for a walk or they just need someone to spend some time with, hit us up and we’ll do it for you! Our schedule is pretty flexible. If our calendar here isn't showing that we’re available, send us a message anyway and we can probably work something out. In our world, furry companions aren't just pets—they're cherished family members, each with their own quirks and unconditional love to share. We’ve spent a lifetime embracing the joy of treating them not just as animals, but as beloved children with wagging tails and boundless affection. In our care, your pets are not just under a watchful eye; they're enveloped in a warm embrace, showered with the same love and attention we give to our own family. Because to us, love knows no bounds, whether it's wrapped in fur or flesh.
“Krista gave daily updates and it seemed like Baki had a great time with Meat and Griffin! Very flexible in timing, pick ups/drop offs, and changing reservation windows which is always a huge help. Definitely would book again!”
“Lindsay and her family are amazing! They took great care of my dog while on vacation. Daily I received pictures and updates. Communication was outstanding. Will definitely book again!”
“Tamakia was very great with communication from the start. She gave my dog the attention he needed and sent updates and pics throughout his stay. He received plenty of outside time and was able to make himself at home during his stay.”
“Carol and her whole crew of pups are wonderful! She took to my two pups like they were her own! We could relax on our vacation knowing they were in the best hands. Thank you!!”
“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”
“Riley is so great with our Dexter! She provides great feedback and pictures while we are away. I love the relationship that her dog, Snowy and Dexter have developed. I feel at ease knowing Dexter is in such great care while we are away.”
“Ali was fantastic. Great communication and photos which confirmed that Rosie was very happy! It was clear she really enjoyed having Rosie which made me even more comfortable. We will definitely use Ali again.”
“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful w/my dog. She kept in daily contact. My dog seemed healthy & rested when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Natasha to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Penn Hills
Tamakia was an excellent sitter for my pup, Morgan. I am a first time user of this app, and had plans on going out of the country for a little over week, so I was very nervous. Tamakia was amazing, and so understanding. She communicated multiple times a day, sending pictures, videos and updates of Morgan’s progress. Troubleshooting issues with her was a breeze, and she showed great care and concern with Morgan. Tamakia is someone I would want to watch my dog again. Thanks again for everything!
Omg! Natasha saved us when our sitter canceled with 2 days notice on a week long booking for a dog, puppy, and cat. She responded immediately after I reached out, came over the same day to meet us and even helped me find a number to contact Rover for a full refund of the other sitter. Natasha and her family took such good care of our fur babies. She sent pics every day and gave updates constantly.we even got a puppy photo shoot from her!!! Not only that, but I feel like I met a kindred spirit meeting her. She is such a sweet loving person & I’m so glad things didn’t work out with the first booking! We will absolutely be using her for future trips and plan on telling everyone about her! I could never thank her enough for helping us out on such short notice and being such an amazing sitter. 💗
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Penn Hills on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 884 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Penn Hills sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Penn Hills landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
