1. Michael H.
“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”

“Kathy is always so incredible with our dog Carmen. She always has several other sweet dogs there for the weekends, so lots of activity! Kathy is great at keeping us updated on her weekend. Highly recommend her.”
3. Richard T.
“Really appreciative of Richard for doing such a great job watching my dog Oscar while I was away. Richard was pleasant, his dogs were very friendly, and his home seemed like a great and safe environment for Oscar. Richard was kind enough to book with me right at the last minute and sent me photos and videos to update me during my trip. Definitely would recommend Richard to anyone looking to board their dog.”

5. Christine B.
“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
6. 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.”
7. Karen P.
“This was our second time with Karen and my little one was so excited to see her (his tail wouldn’t stop wagging) it made me smile. She is very patient with the needs of my senior pup. I’m glad we’ve found her.”

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.
