“Denyal is amazing! She was so loving to my furman. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs. She was very attentive to him and made sure to update me on how he was adjusting and she sent lots of pictures.”
“My dog hadn’t stayed with anyone outside my family before she spent a weekend with Christy! She was well taken care of, and I was so happy to get updates from Christy over the weekend. Definitely recommended.”
“Dara was very accommodating and took great care of our little guy!! She sent lots of pictures and I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :)”
“Krista was absolutely amazing! I really struggle with leaving them with strangers, but she was so accommodating and kept me posted on their stay every day. She made them feel so at home. Everything I would do for them, she did. I absolutely love her and wouldn’t trust them with anyone else.”
“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”
“Pickles had an amazing time with Maura! We got the cutest pictures everyday, it was clear that Pickles was loved, cared for and had so much fun! We already have booked with Maura again!”
“Eronda was an awesome dog sitter for Alley! Not only was she conveniently located, she was very professional and loving towards our pup. Eronda kept us well informed with texts and videos of our pup while away. She was very responsive and answered any question or concerns we had. I would recommend Eronda if you’re looking for a professional, loving, caring person to watch your pet.”
“Ali was sweet and sent us pictures of our pup while she dogs at over a weekend. She was friendly with us and our pup in our introduction a few days before our weekend away and provided great care while we were gone.”
“Mary and the fam were great! Did a little 1 day 1 night stay for our first visit in preparation for a longer weekend, and they treated Oakley wonderfully. He also had a great time playing with everyone can’t wait to get back!”
“Jack loved his visit! They were so good with him and provided updates and photos throughout the day. Their dogs Chowder and Regina are awesome, and my dog enjoyed spending time with them. Will definitely be using them for my next upcoming trips! 10/10”
“We have the best experiences having our dog Kiwi stay with Ellyn and her family! Ellyn is a great communicator and sends photo updates that give us peace of mind our pup is being taken great care of! Kiwi is always so excited to be dropped off - thanks Ellyn and family!”
“Sadie was with Paul for 9 days. She was well taken care of. Paul is very conscientious and kind. Sent photos regularly. Responded quickly to any correspondence we sent. I would highly recommend his services.”
“Alexis and Kevin are wonderful!! They are so kind, flexible, and understanding. Olly absolutely loves spending time with Icy, Boi, and Bean! Alexis sends lots of pictures when we are away on vacation. Olly is looking forward to the next time he gets to stay with them! Thanks Alexis& Kevin :-)”
“Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”
“Rebecca was a great puppy sit for my dog Ruby! She took Ruby in the car, kept her active, and had smooth checkins. Very grateful for how easy Rebecca made it for me and Ruby. Thank you so much!”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Pittsburgh is €47

Sam was the BEST sitter for our golden retriever. We laughed because when we dropped our dog off, she didn’t even look back to say bye- she was so excited and immediately felt safe and happy with Sam. Sam sent us pictures all weekend and kept us very informed on her care. We will definitely use Sam for pet sitting in the future and are so lucky to have found her.
Tri is an amazing sitter! From the moment our dog met her, he chose her. And that was an early indicator that she was the one. She is very smart in her care for dogs and kind, loving, and fun in her interactions with them. This was so important to us as we chose her to be our very first sitter after a thorough search. Her home is a great environment to care for dogs, and she maintains it beautifully. We are going to hire her every chance we get, and you should, too!
Nicole is the sweetest human, genuinely loves our baby Neil and is so good with reassurance and pictures during our trips giving us the ability to relax knowing he is in a good home being loved. She is the only person o trust to leave our kitty with when we go away for long periods of time .

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Pittsburgh on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 927 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Pittsburgh. About 89% of Pittsburgh sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
