1. Kathleen K.
“Kathleen is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs:) We usually travel with our dogs, but because we were going to Italy we used Kathleen. She sent us texts, pictures and video daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs. They had an amazing vacation themselves! She took them for daily walks, cuddled and played with them just as we would have. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our babies! I highly recommend her for all of your fur babies! We will definitely be calling Kathleen for our next trip:)”
2. Michael H.
“Michael and Maria were absolutely wonderful with our 9-month old puppy. They sent many pictures and updates during his stay. They took extra steps to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We will definitely book with them again.”
3. Richard T.
“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”
4. Victoria K.
“Victoria took very good care of my two pups! She was extremely communicative and sent me updates and pictures several times a day. I felt very comfortable going on vacation and leaving my dogs in her caring hands. She is very sweet and you can tell she loves all animals. My smaller dog who is shy even came out of his shell during his stay at Victoria's. Very happy!”

7. Adam C.
“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.”
8. Karen P.
“Karen and her husband were really good with our dog, Olie, who is a very anxious Boston Terrier and usually scared of strangers. They were very patient with her, and quickly made friends with her. I would highly recommend them. They will send you a lot of status updates and photos, and take good care of your dog.”
9. Christy M.

13. Jacqueline O.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family has two shih tzus. I often pet sit for my neighborhood's furry friends and when I went to boarding high school in Boston I would also take care of the neighborhood's pets there. I am committed to your furry family members' happiness and well-being. I am dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience with puppies and senior pets providing me with the skills and knowledge to ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve at every stage of life. Furthermore, my attention to detail and genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do, from regular updates and photos to maintaining your pet's routine to give you peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a senior dance major at Point Park University who is staying in Pittsburgh for the summer. I do not work either so my time is very flexible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building in Downtown Pittsburgh. The building has a small dog park and a dog wash station. I live close to Point State Park as well for a good dog walking route.
14. Matthew S.
“Matthew was absolutely amazing. Arlo was very comfortable with him immediately. Lots of walks and one on one time with my spoiled pup. We had never left him with someone else in their home and it was a great first experience. Thank you so much Matthew!”
15. Carly S.
“Carly was very nice and Princess liked her. She actually slept in the living room because Princess was afraid of the steps. Those are the things that are genuinely appreciated”
16. Trish M.
“Trish is great! We leave our 2 dogs with her and they always seem happy to see her. They also love her dog Otis who also seems happy to have company!”
17. Kaidi S.
“Virginia did a great job watching Luna. Luna was happy and we got lots of pictures and updates! I did have a little trouble at the meet and greet, the address given was incorrect but it all worked out in the end!”
18. Sara H.
“Sara did an amazing job watching my small dog for 3 days and 3 nights. I was so excited to receive a full Google album of photos! She took him on several walks with her other dog and they spent lots of time lounging. She definitely loves dogs and her personality made my boy comfortable even though he is nervous in new situations.”
19. Brook O.
“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!”
20. Bianca & Ryan W.
“Bianca and Ryan were so great with Cooper and Luna! They looked so happy and content in all of the photos and videos we received. I will definitely be using them 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.
