“Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara 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!”
“Christy took great care of our dog! She was flexible to our schedule and sent us updates on how our pup was doing while we were away. Christy lives right by a huge park and we could tell our dog had a wonderful time playing with her during our trip.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds and look forward to hosting or walking yours. We live close to a dog park and have a mid size fenced in yard I'm currently working part time and have a generally pretty open schedule. I have a medium size fenced in yard which is super handy as well I have a fenced in yard and a sweet dog to keep your fur baby company. We also have two cats who like to be on their own. We live in a great neighborhood for walks which is super convenient
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Picked up and dropped off my doggo which was so helpful with my trip otherwise having inconvenient times. Plenty of updates. My dog came back pooped which is always a good sign of a fun weekend for her!”
“We were leaving on an extended vacation and needed someone to take care of our dog Remy, and Sebastian was amazing! He gave us frequent updates and sent us pictures throughout our trip which helped ease our anxiety about being separated from our girl for so long! Communication was fantastic and most importantly Remy was happy - cannot recommend Sebastian enough!”
“Theresa provided lots of pictures and videos of Luna during our vacation and they all went on multiple walks a day. Luna returned very happy and I would recommend Theresa to others.”
“Geena is an absolute gift! She hosted our kitty for two back to back stays during a chaotic era of our lives and was FANTASTIC. Kitty had some medical stuff come up during her stay and Geena went above and beyond to communicate with us and make sure she had great care. We will absolutely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”
“Bryn and boots were great hosts! Bryn took great care of our dog Julie. She seemed to really care about and follow Julie’s schedule. She was extremely communicative and we really appreciated all the updates even during a holiday week. Julie seemed to love spending time and playing with Boots. We will definitely be requesting to book again!”
“Great experience boarding my dog for a long weekend, and would definitely book again! Appreciated the photo updates and flexibility with pickup/dropoff. I know my dog was well cared for and had a great time.”
“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!!”
“I’ve used rover a lot over the years and this was the best experience I’ve had here with Mary. From the first meeting I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Anyone who knows dogs knows a tired dog is a good dog and as soon as Mary told me that her first order of business each day was to take her on a long walk I knew my dog would have a good stay. She sent pics and kept her engaged. Next time I need to board my dog I’ll be boarding with Mary 100%”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”

Mungo and Josie had a wonderful visit with Victoria. It was their first time staying with her so they were a little nervous. Victoria took great care of them and had a large crate so my little ones could sleep together. I appreciated that Victoria took the time to do a meet and greet before their stay and shared lots of videos during their visit. Victoria was very responsible to my texts and flexible with drop off and pick up times, which is nice when flights can be unpredictable. Many thanks to Victoria and her dogs for welcoming Mungo and Josie.
Adrienne is absolutely amazing. She definitely knows how to handle your precious furry family members and gives full attention to parent and fur-kid. The daily pictures of activities kept me entertained but also confident in quality of care. I will be coming back for sure...
Damara was amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! I am always anxious to leave my pup behind, but I didn’t worry about her at all while we were gone for 10 days. Damara set up a time for Lola to visit before the trip to make sure she was comfortable when we left. She also provided the perfect amount of updates and photos. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lola is annoyed she had to come back home after getting so many walks and playtime and love from Damara and her daughter. Lola has a human sister at home, so having a kid who loves and cares for dogs well was perfect for her! It was obvious that Lola was happy, comfortable, and well cared for by both of them. I can’t say enough about our experience with Damara, and I’m so glad to have found her! We will definitely use her again in the future!
Courtney was the absolute BEST. If I could leave 10 stars I would do so. She updated me several times a day through text messages and pictures so I knew Layni had adjusted and settled in comfortably. If she had questions, she reached out to me. Layni was well cared for during her stay with Courtney, My dog is like a child to me and Layni was happy with her stay as was I. I plan on using Courtney on my next trip, as should you. Bob

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.
