2. Richard T.
“Really appreciative of Richard for doing such a great job watching my dog Oscar while I was away. Richard was pleasant, his dogs were very friendly, and his home seemed like a great and safe environment for Oscar. Richard was kind enough to book with me right at the last minute and sent me photos and videos to update me during my trip. Definitely would recommend Richard to anyone looking to board their dog.”

6. Adam C.
“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!”

8. Karen P.
“Karen and her husband were really good with our dog, Olie, who is a very anxious Boston Terrier and usually scared of strangers. They were very patient with her, and quickly made friends with her. I would highly recommend them. They will send you a lot of status updates and photos, and take good care of your dog.”
9. Tia D.
“Tia and her family were great! Jax had a great time. She is great with communicating and sent lots of pics/videos! Definitely recommend her to anyone in the Pittsburgh area.”

“Sebastian was great watching my dog. He was very responsive and sent lots of photos. My dog had a great time staying with him. I would highly recommend!”
11. Kari S.
“Kari truly went above and beyond for my dog Matilda during my 5 day trip. I always use Rover when I go away and while it’s always been a positive experience, Kari has been the most caring and loving sitter Matilda has ever had. Matilda has a hard time adapting to new environments and easily becomes anxious, but Kari was super responsible and did everything to help her settle in. Kari kept me updated the entire time and Matilda was seriously smiling in many of the pictures and videos she sent, which was a true testament to how much she enjoyed being with Kari. She had no hesitations taking her to the park, on car drives (which are Matilda’s favorite activity!), shopping - Matilda got to live her best life! When I returned Matilda looked like she’d had a great time and slept for a whole week (a rare occurrence). I will always look for Kari for future boarding and 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to be well taken care of. Thank you Kari for giving Matilda the best little vacation, she definitely misses you very much!”
12. Christy M.
“Christy provided updates and pictures throughout our stay and was wonderful throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to let our pup stay with her again. Thanks, Christy!”
13. Sara H.
“Sara did an amazing job watching my small dog for 3 days and 3 nights. I was so excited to receive a full Google album of photos! She took him on several walks with her other dog and they spent lots of time lounging. She definitely loves dogs and her personality made my boy comfortable even though he is nervous in new situations.”
14. Brook O.
“Brook was great! She did a great job coming up with a plan for what would work for my dog and really catered to her specifics. We were a bit late on drop off and had some instructions that weren’t in the bio and Brook was flexible for both. She also sent good updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
15. Sushma S.
“Sushma took good care of Nacho and sent me sporadic updates - too many updates are not necessary; she sent me just enough. Also, Sushma was really flexible when my return travel dates when I was uncertain if I could pick up Nacho at the prearranged time or not! I would 100% trust Nacho in Sushma's care again.”
16. Marina P.
“Thank you for caring for Bo on such a short notice and thanks for the updates throughout his stay. He looks happy and healthy back at home so I'm grateful for the care given to him. 🙏”
17. Jessica B.
“Jessica was great. Took Gizmo last minute and was very accommodating. She has a clean and quiet home and a very nice little dog Finn who’s a total cutie. Plenty of updates and pics if requested. A pleasure to work with! Thanks Jess!”
18. Brian B.
“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!!”
19. Carly S.
“Carly was very nice and Princess liked her. She actually slept in the living room because Princess was afraid of the steps. Those are the things that are genuinely appreciated”
20. Matthew S.
“Matthew was our first experience with Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We did a meet and greet with Rosie prior to her stay, and he made sure she was comfortable at his home and let her sniff around. Throughout her stay, we received updates with lots of pictures that gave us piece of mind while we were away. Matthew was great at communicating and we felt very comfortable that Rosie was having a good experience at his home! We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a place for their dog to stay!”

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.
