Richard is the best! We no longer feel guilty taking trips without our dog Boo knowing that he has the best time at Richard’s. Richard always sends daily pictures and is very communicative, so we never have to worry about our baby.

Kathleen was amazing! I left my puppy with her for five days. During that time, Kathleen kept me up to date with him by sending photos and videos. My puppy cannot get on and off the couch yet because he is still small, so Kathleen bought him stairs to use! She totally went far beyond my expectations of taking care of my puppy. I will definitely use Kathleen again. She is fantastic, and I am grateful!

Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)

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!

Karen and her husband are wonderful! This was our first time trying the Rover app and they made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with them. Karen sent us updates and pictures every day which is something that we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karen to take care of your dog if you ever need it.

Tia watched our dog, Izzy, for a week and we are so appreciative of her! We got photos and videos every day, many check ins to let us know Izzy was eating and acting normally. We got lots of videos of Izzy playing fetch and having a wonderful time with Tia and her family! We very much recommend Tia for any dog watching needs!

Sebastian was great! My dog had a great time and was taken care of very well. I was particularly nervous as I’d never used Rover before but Sebastian made the process much easier. Would definitely have my dog stay with him again!

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!!

Had a great experience with Matt, from the Meet n Greet and the drop off, to the pick up and everything in between. Matt was very responsive and kept in touch during Mayzie’s stay, assuring us she had adjusted fine, and sending us photos. She’s visiting again in two weeks so I’m relieved that Mayzie has a safe and comfortable place to call home while we are away. Excellent experience overall! I did not worry about my dog’s care because I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to leave their pet in a safe, fun, attentive, welcoming environment. Thanks, Matt!

Marina was an absolute delight! She took the challenges of sitting our 10 week old lab pup in stride, showing Dr. Fuzz the utmost love, care, and grace. She provided regular updates and was extremely responsive (which absolutely eased our concerns with boarding a pup so new and so young). I would absolutely recommend Marina if you are looking for the perfect home-away-from-home for your four-legged friend 😊

Sara was an amazing dog sitter for our energetic 1+1/2 year old Bernedoodle. Sara gave her so much love and an abundant amount of exercise. Our dog also enjoyed the company of Sara’s Husky which was an added bonus. Sara was sweet enough to send us photos of our girl as well. We are so glad to have found Sara!

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!

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.

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.
