“Jessica is great! I was in town briefly for work and she took my dog in like she was one of her own! She has a great backyard space for the dogs to play around in. She’s very responsive and sends many updates throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Debbie and Adam were so very welcoming and took great care of our Piper! We loved the daily pictures they sent and how easily they picked up on her unique personality:)”
“Gracie was well cared for by Carol. She is very experienced with dogs. Great fenced in backyard which was safe for a puppy to run around. I have a 6 month old puppy who is a ball of energy. I think she exhausted everyone 😊”
“Took great care of my pup, sent lots of pictures of him socializing well with the other dogs, and generally kept me looped in. I can tell he had a great time and would definitely recommend Denyal!”
“Ellyn 's home is a paradise for dogs; she has a great little yard and is steps away from the park. She was so kind to me and my dog. I will be using her again in the future.”
“Sophie had a great stay with Adam. Adam took her on lots of walks to burn off her puppy energy and sent pictures of their adventures. We had Sophie on a pretty restrictive diet to figure out an allergy and Adam was able to help us keep her on it. Wonderful stay and worry free for me.”
“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”
“Coralee is an awesome sitter. Coralee & her family made my baby so comfortable. She is so patient, caring & loving. She communicated on a daily basis with lots of pics & videos. Will definitely book again!”
“Erica was wonderful! My dog loved her from the moment he met her. My dog had never stayed with anyone overnight, so I was anxious! Erica made everything easy- lots of updates, pictures, and reassurance. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Beth and her family deserve far more than 5 stars! The care and attention they gave our pups were truly exceptional. From the moment we met them, it was clear that our dogs would be in loving, capable hands. Beth and her family not only showered our dogs with affection, but also took them on daily walks and made sure they felt right at home. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside of immediate family, so we were understandably a bit nervous. But Beth quickly put our minds at ease with her daily updates, sharing photos, sweet stories and little moments that made us smile and laugh from afar. I’m so grateful to have found Beth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Another wonderful stay for Cheddar!! He absolutely loves being with Vivian and her family and they love him just as much!! It is very clear how much care and attention they give him and send lots of pictures throughout his stay with them! We will continue to board him with Vivian any time we are out of town. Thank you again!!!”
“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“Victoria was wonderful! She had other pups that my dog loved to play with and I felt she was safe, loved and came home worn out! I got plenty of updates and would definitely recommend booking with Victoria to care for your dog!”
“Raeann was the best, although his stay was only for a day, our pup loves Raeann! She is so full of love and joy and our pup sensed that from our meet & greet and during his stay! Raeann is so very welcoming and warm-hearted, a perfect fit for our sweet cuddler pup!! Thanks Raeann!! ❤️”
“Gary is super, he has watched our dogs a couple times for us and is always very reliable and accommodating and our dogs always enjoy going there and love his big fenced in backyard. We recommend Gary as a sitter.”
“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”
“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%”
“Anthony and Leslie are truly amazing people. They treated Buddy as if he was their own. It makes you feel so at ease and calm knowing your pet is so well taken care off.”
“Michael was absolutely wonderful with my 7 month old Lab. I know he had a wonderful time and was care for like a family member. We look forward to booking with Michael again soon!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Swissvale is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swissvale
This was my first time using Rover after recently adopting my dog, Brick and it was such a great experience. Ellyn took great care of Brick during his 8-night stay while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates with photos which made me feel at ease. When I picked Brick up, it was obvious he had been loved and well cared for during his stay. He came home happy and relaxed. I truly appreciated the attention and care Ellyn and her family gave him, and I never had to worry while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ellyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Mikaela was great! She took in our pup at the last minute due to a family emergency and was so flexible, kind and communicative. She took the time to look over my dog’s profile and had follow up questions for me at drop off. I really appreciated that attention to detail and I can tell my dog was very well cared for!
Pam was so friendly to me and, evidently, to my dog! She was understanding of his little quirks and helped him adjust to her house. Also, I didn't know how long he would need to stay, and she was very flexible and easy-going about extending his time. I wouldn't hesitate to call on her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swissvale on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swissvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Swissvale sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Swissvale landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Swissvale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Swissvale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Swissvale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
