“Tia is the absolute BEST! She took great care of my Robin while I was away for a month. She was always communicative. We got photo and video updates everyday. I was so worried because I was gone for so long and also because of Robin's separation anxiety but Tia and her family made everything so easy for both me and Robin. Robin and her dog Tang became best friends and he had an amazing time while we were away. He came back so happy and healthy!! I will definitely book with Tia again anytime Robin needs a place to stay!!!”
12. 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. Kaidi S.
“Kaidi was amazing! She gave frequent adorable photo updates of the very fun time Scout was having and was very patient and flexible when my return flight got delayed late into the evening. Scout had a great time and got lots of love and play time! Thank you so much!!”
15. Marina P.
“Marina was an absolute delight! She took the challenges of sitting our 10 week old lab pup in stride, showing Dr. Fuzz the utmost love, care, and grace. She provided regular updates and was extremely responsive (which absolutely eased our concerns with boarding a pup so new and so young). I would absolutely recommend Marina if you are looking for the perfect home-away-from-home for your four-legged friend 😊”

19. Brian B.

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.
