“Emily and Patrick are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of my girl Bunny. When my trip was unexpectedly extended due to a flight cancellation, they were so flexible and accommodating. Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”
“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!”
“Christy was great and dealt with us constantly texting and checking in on Lupo. She sent us some great pictures of him. I would recommend her anytime!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sebastian did an excellent job. He took his care of my dog and followed all the feeding and walking instructions. My dog looked happy and calm in all the beautiful pictures. I will definitely try to book with him again next time I'm out of town.”
“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Julia! She was professional, communicative, and clearly cared for my dog like her own. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My pup came back happy and relaxed. Would definitely book again and highly recommend! 🐾”
“Justin was very welcoming and after a visit together with Watson, I left Alexa in good hands. Justin sent lots of pictures of Alexa and Watson taking walks, and relaxing at home.”
“Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
“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!”
“Maura was kind, communicative, and took really great care of our dog, Finn. She sent updates and photos which was much appreciated, and we could tell Finn felt right at home cuddling on the couch. We’d definitely have Maura watch him again!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
About: I have had the pleasure of working as a pet care attendant for two separate boarding facilities over the course of 6 years! I also have a few years of experience working as a vet tech assistant! I have lots of experience with animals with different medical needs and have had dogs all my life! I currently am working short part time shifts only a few times a week. Other than that I am available to walk, feed, and play with any pets that need it! I have no other animals in my home, and live near plenty of green space as well as some dog parks for walks and play time!
About: I have cared for my own animals my whole life and have just recently said goodbye to my dog of 15 years. Though my family is not ready quite yet for another member, we miss having a dog in the house and would love to help care for yours! I love all animals, but have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I work full time, but am fortunate enough to have the flexibility to work from home when needed so your furry pals will not go long stretches without love and attention! Our yard is partially fenced, however we have a lead for dogs outside, as well as the equipment and precautions to keep your pets safe if needed like crates, gates, etc. Our two cats are very friendly and good with dogs. They do spend most of their time on the second floor, so your pet would have free rein of our first floor!
“We are so thankful for Shelly’s help this weekend! She was communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off times. She gave our dog all the exercise and love he needs while we were away! Poe was in great hands with Shelly and we look forward to using her as our dog sitter in the future. ☺️”
“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 💗”
“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”
“Bryn and her fiancé Carson did an amazing job taking care of our dog Crosby while we were away for the weekend! They gave him lots of love and sent a bunch of photos and updates each day. Their dog Boots was a perfect Playmate for Crosby too! Would definitely recommend Bryn for your pet sitting needs!”

Tri thankfully accepted my last-minute request to watch my dog for the weekend. I have a very anxious dog, but Tri was able to keep her calm and give her all of the affection she desired. Tri sent many pictures and updates so I was able to enjoy my weekend away knowing that my dog was in great hands!
Bryn and Carson were AMAZING while watching our 2 year old havanese for four days while we were out of the country. I very much appreciated the attention to his routine and the frequent photo updates. Benny loved Boots and we will be booking them again for any future sitter needs. Thank you SO much!
Ava was wonderful to work with - would highly recommend!! She boarded my two rescue girlies for a week and made sure they had everything they needed to settle in quickly. She gave me consistent picture updates, always answered quickly when I checked in about something specific, and was very flexible about the reservation. She administered medicine twice a day for one of my girls and followed their daily schedule. Most importantly, I know they were loved and treated like if they were her own pets 💗 Will definitely be rebooking!
Apoorva was simply incredible watching our labradoodle! He can be a little anxious when we are gone and requires 2x daily meds, and Apoorva handled everything incredibly. He received lots of outdoor play with the ball (which is his favorite!) and belly rubs. Thanks to Apoorva he had a great time and so did we while we saw the sites in Pittsburgh!
Wednesday had a great week and a half with Shelly! We appreciated the photos, videos, and updates during our trip. Shelly took her for lots of walks, to the dog park, and to a nearby cafe. Also has a nice outdoor patio where Wednesday could lay and watch the birds. We won’t hesitate to reach out to Shelly again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Pittsburgh on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 917 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Pittsburgh. About 91% 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.
