“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
“Erin was great-our dog was clearly well cared for. Erin was very responsive and flexible when we couldn't get back due to bad weather. Definitely recommend! We will board our dog with her again!”
“Denise is amazing! My pup was so happy and loved. Her and her husband took great care of my dog and kept me up to date on him throughout everyday with plenty of videos and pictures. Best part is he came home exhausted which is always a great sign that he had so much fun. We will be booking again!”
“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Kristi did a wonderful job watching our Diesel. She kept him active, sent photos, videos and kept us updated throughout his stay. I will definitely recommend Kristi to other dog moms and use her again when needed!”
“Barfi had a great time with Brittany and Pippin. She sent me his pics everyday and kept me updated on his day to day activity. I have finally found a good sitter for Barfi. Thanks Brittany!”
“Nelia and Brett were GREAT! We have a very energetic dog and they made us feel so comfortable leaving him for 4 days with their family. Nelia sent me pictures everyday showing us know how much fun Nipsey was having. I know they treated him like family and that made us so happy. We will be having them watch Nipsey again in the future and recommending them to our family and friends. Thank you again Nelia and Brett!”
“Gary did a great job taking care of our two dogs (whom we couldn't bear to leave anywhere but a home environment). He was prompt and thorough in his communications, and his depth of experience in dog care was evident. I'd recommend him without hesitation!”
“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!”
“Valerie is top notch! She truly loves my dog Hershey and he is so happy with her. Hershey has medical needs and she follows my instructions exactly. Several walks per day, trips to the pet store and beyond. Trail hiking, lots of snuggles. I couldn’t find a better sitter! My weekly dog sitter!”
“Natasha is utterly amazing. She has taken such good care of our cricket in good health and around two knee surgeries- needing specific attention to her movement and medications. Cricket gets the best care and becomes a member of their family while she's there. Natasha is always happy to keep me updated about how Cricket is doing as much or as little as I'd like. Whether I have to be away for vacation or some other reason, when Cricket is with Natasha and her family I know I don't need to worry about her. We will continue to work with Natasha and James for Cricket's care any time we need help or to be out of town.”
About: I provide a dedicated, high-attention environment where your pet’s comfort and personality are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was young, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of their behavior and how to keep them feeling safe and settled. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will have constant companionship and the flexibility for unlimited potty breaks whenever they need them. Your pet will enjoy a rock-solid routine with three structured walks a day—they are welcome to join my friendly dog for some neighborhood socialization, or I can walk them individually upon request to give them my undivided attention. I am happy to accommodate any specific feeding, medical, or behavioral needs with total care, ensuring your best friend receives the focused, reliable stay they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is built around providing active, attentive care. Your dog will enjoy a consistent routine of three daily walks, with the option to join my own dog for socialization or go individually for 1-on-1 time. Because I’m home all day, I have plenty of time for indoor play, "anytime" potty breaks, and can even accommodate trail adventures or dog park trips for pups with extra energy. Having grown up with dogs since I was young, I’m happy to accommodate any specific needs to ensure your pet feels safe and energized while you're away. Whether I am hosting in my home or visiting yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My house is kept meticulously clean, and I am always vigilant about spotting potential hazards to ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed and secure. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have the company of my very friendly Corgi, Jack. He is incredibly social and has a natural way of helping even the most timid or shy dogs feel comfortable and included. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, ensuring your pet feels safe and your space stays spotless while you are away.
“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with many rescue dogs, each with their own unique personalities, and I’ve loved helping them feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work at a dog boarding kennel, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments every day. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC, I’m comfortable meeting each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to cuddle with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, patience, and personalized care. In the morning, animals are always the first priority. Their day starts with fresh food and clean water, followed by plenty of attention and reassurance so they begin the day feeling safe and relaxed. After that comes a good walk or playtime, depending on the pet’s needs, along with cleaning up any messes and making sure their space stays comfortable and tidy. Throughout the day I maintain consistent communication with the owners so they always know how their pets are doing. I monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, and any changes that may need attention. There is always time set aside for affection, enrichment, and simply being present with the animals so they feel cared for and not alone. In the evening I finish with another round of feeding, walks or play sessions, and a final check to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable for the night. Every day follows this rhythm of structure, patience, and genuine care to make sure each pet feels secure, happy, and well looked after. I will give your pets the same level of attention and care that I give my own. My goal is always to follow your preferences and routine so your pet feels secure and understood. With your guidance/ set rules I will do everything I can to keep your animals comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Krista was absolutely amazing! I really struggle with leaving them with strangers, but she was so accommodating and kept me posted on their stay every day. She made them feel so at home. Everything I would do for them, she did. I absolutely love her and wouldn’t trust them with anyone else.”
“Raeann was amazing! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Hudson would be well cared for. During his stay, she shared pictures/updates of their time together. She opened up her home to him. I will absolutely consider Raeann again to take care of Hudson while I travel!”
“Pickles had an amazing time with Maura! We got the cutest pictures everyday, it was clear that Pickles was loved, cared for and had so much fun! We already have booked with Maura again!”
“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! 🐶🥰”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Wilkinsburg is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkinsburg
Keiton was fantastic! We were a little worried about taking our kitties to a stranger’s house because this was the first time using the app. Our worries ended as soon as we dropped them off and met Keiton. His porch setup with two individual rooms with little doors leading to the divided screened in porch were nice for the cats. He sent pictures and videos daily which helped us know our boys were in good hands. Keiton also carried our cat carriers down to his house and back to our car when we picked them up. We even stayed an additional day and he had no problems keeping them an extra day and helping us change everything in the app. I highly recommend Keiton! If you look through our pictures, you can see Keiton giving our cat Max belly rubs, which is something he doesn’t let just anyone do. I think our kitties had a better vacation than we did, and didn’t want to leave the screened in porch. We will definitely be bringing them back if we ever need a sitter. Thanks Keiton!
We had an amazing experience! Our dog stayed with Krista for three weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Krista sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Krista was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. We would absolutely book with Krista again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog sitter!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wilkinsburg on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 918 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wilkinsburg. About 91% of Wilkinsburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
