“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!”
“My dog Reggie had a wonderful time with Sharon and her dogs! Sharon sent photos and videos throughout the day, and Reggie didn't want to leave! He came home happy and tired. Thank you Sharon!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Augusta is so kind and I appreciate her taking great care of my baby boy. She communicates well and sends picture updates which are much appreciated. My Russy feels comfortable at her home and I’m grateful for Augusta’s hospitality. 😊”
“Freya had a great time staying with Ellyn and her family! She felt right at home, and loved running around in the yard and Frick Park. Ellyn was very responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed, and Freya had to stay a bit longer than planned. Thank you!”
“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!”
“breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.”

About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Awesome communication, she took great care of my dog who was only a few weeks post surgery. It was complicated with her medications and restrictions but Erin did fantastic. I’m glad my pup was able to have such a good caregiver for her mini vacay as well :)”
“Tia was an absolute pleasure! Lizzy thrived with her!!! We loved the photos and videos that showed Lizzy in her element. We are so grateful that Tia took such good care at short notice and during a sad time for our family.”
“I can confidently give Coralee my utmost recommendation as an outstanding caretaker. Coralee and her family were absolutely incredible throughout the boarding process. They took our dog, Duke, in over the holidays as another member of their family. Coralee was responsive and sent updates which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing Duke was happy. We will absolutely be booking with Coralee in the future, and I will be recommending her to our friends and family!”
“Once again, Jessica and her family took excellent care of our sweet girl, Zena. This was a week-long stay and Zena was so loved, cared for and *exhausted* when she got home from having so much activity and fun at Jessica's home. Thank you for everything you do for our girl, Jessica and family!!”
“Gary is the best!! He always takes the best care of our senior pug Yoda when we go away. We know that Yoda is in the best hands when we leave him with Gary. Gary is very compassionate and caring, we highly recommend him as always. He will treat your furbaby as his own.”
“Beancurd has such a wonderful time with Valerie and comes home to us calm and relaxed and exhausted from having so much fun. For an anxious dog with separation anxiety it’s amazing for us to know we can leave her is such good hands. Lots of pics and great communication, highly recommended Valerie as a sitter and walker and so does Beancurd!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swissvale
Adisyn took amazing care of our Clyde when we were out of town for the weekend. He had Teddy as an amazing playmate. Adisyn periodically would give updates with photos on how he was doing and activities they were up to. She was also a life saver as our plane ride home ended up cancelled, leaving Clyde there an extra night. She was very understanding and flexible. We will 100% think of Adisyn & Teddy for future stays. Clyde enjoyed his time there:)
Sharon is the BEST. We’ve booked her 4 or 5 times now and each booking has been a great experience. She’s extremely communicative, was great with administering and keeping track of our senior dog’s medications, and made us and our dog extremely comfortable. As long as Sharon’s available, we’ll use her services in the future!
Erin is the best of the best! Our dog has high anxiety with initial separation during drop off, and Erin was so accommodating with her rather long routine of kongs and walks to get her settled. She is excellent with communication and our dog Willow came home so happy <3 We are "those crazy dog parents" and our dog is our child, and we could not be more satisfied with (and grateful for) Erin's care!
Valerie K is a star. We have a complicated little dog with anxiety and a difficult past and Valerie was so patient and kind with him. She allowed us to schedule doggy day care days ahead of our big weekend away so that our dog would feel comfortable and safe with her ahead of the trip. She sent us adorable photos and videos of our old guy getting snuggles and going on adventures. She was a dream to work with, very professional and personable. We hope to work with Valerie again!
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.
