“We left our Bernese mountain dog with Adisyn while we were out of town and were very happy with her service. We received pictures and updates every day and could tell our dog was very well cared for. I would recommend her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Valerie is a TOP LEVEL pet sitter!!!! She far exceeds my expectations and I am thrilled that she is my regular sitter as I travel extensively for work. She is flexible with last minute bookings, drop off and pick up changes. She takes remarkable care of my senior dog with medical needs and provides enrichment activities for him. Frequent walks, snuggles, trips to the store for treats and car rides are his favorites with Valerie. My sweet Hershey looks happy in his frequent photos! I love the frequent updates and excellent communication about how he is doing. Valerie has a passion for animals and truly enjoys what she does!!!! A++++++++++++”
“Tia was professional and friendly, an obvious dog lover, and her home is well equipped to board our beloved pets. She kept us updated with photos of Sachi 3x/day! Excellent!”
“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”
“Gary is wonderful! He’s had two dog so far from my rescue and done wonderful with them. One is blind and the other is a senior. Gary is caring, flexible, and most importantly the dogs love him!”
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Bo seemed very at ease at Audrey's house. I appreciated the daily updates on him too! Thank you so much - will rebook if you're available the next time”
“Luna had a great time!! She tends to be very anxious but warmed up quickly. Stephanie and Philip were great at communicating with us and we were relieved to know she was with people who treated her like family!”
“Kita was extremely amazing! She handled our busy hyperactive puppy with love and care. I really appreciated her keeping me updated with pictures and messages! She even took my puppy to the dog park which was an awesome unexpected bonus! I would definitely recommend her services!! 🐶💜”
“Samantha was FABULOUS! My dogs seemed so relaxed and at home with her and her family! I will 100% send my dogs in their own vacation with Samantha the next time my family and I go out of town! 🐶🥰”
“Our 10 month old puppy had a great time at camp Gina, as we affectionately call her place. There were playful dogs to keep him busy and a swimming pool just for the dogs. It was the first time we left our puppy with someone else and we couldn’t have made a better choice.”
“Ashley was a fantastic sitter! Our dogs are 4 y/o and 6 mos. old and she handled them without issue. We feel lucky to have found her and we’re sure Ralphie and Seymour would love to see her again!”
“Our dogs really loved it. They were not as happy to see us as they usually are when we pick them up from a kennel. From that we assumed they like being at Amy's very much. Amy was very good about keeping us informed about our dogs activities. We received numerous text with photos.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Growing up with multiple pets taught me how to recognize their needs, provide loving care, and keep them safe and comfortable. I currently enjoy going on daily walks, so I'm happy to give dogs the exercise and attention they need. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm reliable, patient, and understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. My schedule is very flexible right now! I recently returned to IUP to finish my senior year of nursing school. While I’m here, I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits whenever possible. My class schedule varies each day, but I’m flexible and will always work around it to provide your pets with the best care and attention! When caring for pets in my client's home, I always follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I use a leash for all walks and outdoor potty breaks, and I can crate dogs when needed if that's part of their routine. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you're away.
“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”

Our little guy deals with a lot of fear and anxiety which has made traveling very difficult for us. Valerie is a miracle worker. He had so many adventures and made friends with other dogs. He cuddled with Valerie and felt secure and safe with her. She is a godsend. We will definitely work with her again!
Responsive, caring , kind and supportive sitter. My dog developed some allergies and began coughing when I left my dog with Chris. Chris went out of his way to help Pluto feel better. He even picked up medicine’s for Pluto. Cuddled him and gave him loads of love. He was constantly updating us and kept us in loop and ensured we didn’t take stress while we were away. Deeply appreciated his kindness towards Pluto. Thank you Chris 🙏Highly recommended! 10 stars !
Martin was a perfect person for my two dogs. They haven’t stayed away from home before. He was so patient with them and took time out to win Maggie over! They got walked, played, got groomed and mingled with his dogs. Picture of them looked like they all lived there.He made them feel like one of his family. Thanks Martin. We’ll be back!
Daniel did a wonderful job with our golden retriever. Although he had never spent time with our dog, Daniel understood what our dog craves (petting!) and what he really enjoys (playing with other dogs). Daniel’s dogs were great playmates to our dog. Also house very clean, a fenced in back yard and great communication. We will use Daniel again.
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 of Dog Boarding in Swissvale is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 881 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Swissvale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Swissvale home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
