Once again, success! My dog Teddy much enjoyed his 2nd stay with Ellyn & family. We very much appreciate her conscientiousness & flexibility, as well as ease of communication. Most of all knowing Teddy is being cared for in a loving family environment while I’m away is the best thing ever!

Jason was awesome! He always responded promptly, and he was very flexible arranging a meet-n-greet and drop off/pickup times. His fenced in yard is great! He played with Callie, took her for walks, and truly spoiled her! He sent updates and pics regularly. I think Callie is already looking forward to her next stay! Both Callie and I highly recommend Jason!

Jes & Sean took great care of our puppy Finn while we were out of town for the weekend. They were very communicative, worked well with my ever changing drop off/pick up times, and overall made it a worry free experience being away from our little guy. Their neighborhood was very dog friendly which was also a huge bonus. Would recommend Jes to anyone reading her reviews! Thanks again

I highly recommend Deirdre if you are looking for someone to care for your pet as their own. She watched our girl Iris for a week and we could not have asked or wanted anything more. Not only is she caring, but she goes above and beyond expectations. She helped with Iris’ training and probably devoted more time to this then we are able. She gave updates and sent pictures daily. Highly recommended!

My dog Winnie had the best time during her stay with Emily! She got frequent exercise from going on walks and playing with Emily’s dogs in her nice fenced in yard. Emily also provided great updates and lots of pictures/videos each day! It made me feel very comfortable to know Winnie was being cared for so well! She will definitely be back!

Minnie was amazing! She was able to handle our last minute booking and work with the few adjustments that were needed. She gave me both photo and video updates throughout my trip, and she was very responsive when I would contact her, both before and during TJ’s stay. Teej loved his staycation which was very evident in his videos. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be booking again!

Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.

Brynn is an excellent pet sitter. She cared for our geriatric cat for an extended period and she provided thoughtful care and kept us updated regularly. She was particularly conscientious about changes in the cats behavior and took appropriate actions as needed. We felt our cat and home were in excellent hands during our absence.

Emily is a dog lover for sure! She is very responsible and caring for pets, but dogs especially. I know they will enjoy her companionship as much as she will enjoy theirs. She is a wonderful person who would have no trouble being a caregiver and making sure they were tended to with the upmost consideration.

Willie is a sleepy boy after having a good ole time hanging with Luna, Patrick and Tino. They took great care of him, sent plenty of pics, and asked questions when not sure about something, which I very much appreciated. Would recommend them to anyone!

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.
