I am writing this having been a customer of DPD for 2 months now and have used their service multiple times during this period. Prior to DPD, I had spoken with and considered multiple different dog walking services in the area. I personally feel Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs is one of the best services I have ever used period (dog walking or otherwise, in any region). Kevin, the owner, is incredibly professional, organized, and responsive. Scheduling is easy (via an online interface), you get a nice email with details about the walk (and often a photo!), and service has been truly excellent and incredibly accommodating. My dog is also a bit fearful and shy and her walkers have been lovely and patient with her. Kevin also knows his dog-walkers well and he has been great about matching people up with Mia (my dog). I sincerely cannot recommend highly enough and I am afforded incredible piece of mind knowing that they are around to help out on busy days. Thank you! read more

DPD is absolutely amazing. They are always so compassionate with our dog Murphy. There have been days when he was sick and Jen took such great care of him. He always is super happy on the days he gets walked. They are also great on the administrative side. Any time we have had a problem with payment/scheduling they are super quick to respond and fair. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their pets to be properly cared for and loved. read more

I love Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs. I am the owner of three cats, and they are able to come by my apartment to feed and water them, clean their litter boxes, and take pictures and write reports about how the cats are doing. They provide a combination lock that you insert a key for them to enter. Love their service and highly recommend (cheaper than Rover) read more

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PET! My boyfriend was using this service for our dog and they were absolutely horrible! They consistently don't come on time and our dog came back with a large open cut on its back. Also I was once talking to our walker and they said that management is truly a mess and doesn't treat the walkers right. SKIP THIS PLACE read more

Seriously one of the best things we could have done for our pup! Zoe loves her daily walks and cuddles. We've worked mostly with Gabby and she's fantastic - our pup genuinely loves her and get excited to see her on non-walk days when we run into her in the neighborhood. Everyone at the office is incredibly organized and seamless to work with. Looking forward to boarding our girl with them this spring. Seriously don't hesitate - they helped make our puppy training consistent throughout the day! I look forward to our photo updates! read more

I would definitely suggest Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs to anyone who needs a reliable, helpful, caring, knowledgeable company to help with their fur babies. For walks or pet sitting, they amazing. There are so many great things to say about DT Pittsburgh Dogs. I had a trip planned and planned on bringing Miss Maggie May along. Then our airline started delaying and canceling trips, a few days before we were scheduled. I was concerned that we may get stuck in an airport and Maggie would not love it. I tried several dog sitting apps, only to be very let down and frustrated with the quality of dog sitters. I was referred to Kevin, by our apartment manager. The best referral I have had, since we moved from Okc to Pittsburgh 2 weeks ago. Kevin went out of his way to come visit and meet our family the night before our flight and even though they were fully booked, worked with us on such short notice, to make sure Maggie would be taken care of while we were gone. I felt very comfortable with Kevin and the company's team and procedures. He made sure to take notes about Maggie's schedule, habits, likes and dislikes. We have been gone for just 1night so far and received updates on Maggie along with photos. They have on online process that makes scheduling a breeze, updates are shown, and it makes me feel very happy knowing our sweet little old fur baby is in good hands while we are gone read more

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs offers dog walking, boarding, overnight sitting and training. My dog, fiancé and I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin recently. I contacted downtown Pittsburgh dogs on their website because we recently adopted a dog. Our dog is great, but she lunges towards other dogs and we aren't sure if its out of fear, anger or she wants to play. I contacted Kevin to get some help with that behavior and also inquired about boarding options since are getting married soon. Kevin was very diligent with reaching out to me, returning calls & texts. He came over and spent an hour talking with us and meeting our dog. He offered great tips on how to help her with the slight behavior issue she has going on. We have full intentions on using Kevin's services in the future. He is great with people and dogs! read more

I cannot tell you how much worry that DPD has saved me from!!! My husband and I both work FT, and use DPD at least once a week when we know we will be stuck at work to take our Mazzy on a nice walk! We always receive prompt service, Maz absolutely loves the dog walkers that come, and most importantly, I get a full report after the walk! What I also love is scheduling is super easy and convenient - right online, and you can even text to set something up! I also love the flexibility - I request a very specific time and they absolutely accommodate me. I can't recommend this team enough for its efficiency, but more importantly how much they all love taking care of the members of our family! I wish I could give more stars :)! read more

I can speak for all of us (myself, my fiancée and our buddy boy Beto) when I say that we are nothing but thrilled that we found Downtown PGH Dogs. As soon as we adopted Beto we had to find a dog walker to use when both of us worked long hours. Our apartment referred us to DPD and we couldn't be happier. Kevin (DPD owner) came over to have a meet n greet with Beto promptly to get to know him and address our basic needs for their services. After that, everything has been a breeze! Scheduling online is as easy as it can possibly be, in addition to payments. You can have an automatic deduction of the cost after each walk, or you can pay a lump sum at the end of each month. We mostly have the same walker for Beto (we love you, Stef!) and this is helpful to him because he can be anxious around new people. She always visits him at the same time and sends a pic with an update as soon as she leaves. I always appreciate the prompt feedback! DPD also offers in home boarding for our furry friend if we need to leave him at home for a few days. We also utilized those services, which were nothing but great! There is also boarding at DPDs home base, in addition to group dog walks if your fur kid enjoys to be around other dogs. The cost is also very affordable - 1 walk = $24. It's so nice to know that Beto is in good hands and can get a break from the crate when we are both at work. Lastly I want to give a round of applause to Kevin Schriver! Beto is the first dog that we have had together and we've had some behavioral issues that Kevin has helped us out a lot with. We joke around and say that Kevin is our dog therapist (haha!) but he really is very knowledgeable and has a lot of advice for new time pet owners. We give DPD 5 stars! Thanks again for all you do for all of us :-) read more

My wife and I found DPD through a family friend, and we have had nothing but the best experiences. We've been working with them since last fall, and they have been dependable and reliable ever since. We got video updates in the early stages, and we continue to get picture updates on a regular basis. The DPD team has even gone out of its way to help us out while we have been between houses. We trust the DPD team to give our little guy the attention and care that he needs! And the entire team is available practically 24/7 to the extent that we ever need to talk with somebody about an upcoming trip, a question that we have, etc. etc. read more

My partner, Steven, found Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs online. We decided that because we both work somewhat weird hours, that a dog walker would be helpful for our 2 year old lab Dolly. Kevin, the owner of DPD, came to our house, met Dolly and was able to get started right away. It's been about two weeks, but we have been really impressed with all the individuals we've interacted with -- Ciara and today Daniella. I highly recommend DPD for dog walking and consider their services to be indispensable for those people who may work long hours. Dolly is so happy to get walk with the team every week. Thank you!! read more

We loved using Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs services. Our pups loved them and so did we. They were always responsive, flexible and fairly priced. read more

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs are life savers. Not only do they love and treat my fur babies like they are their own, but they are always flexible and available when I need them. After recently getting a new puppy, they have also played an integral roll in helping to train him as well as made me confident before even getting the puppy that I would have their help and support. I highly recommend them and don't know what I would do without them! read more

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs has been great! We got a brand new puppy right after the new year and had to find a way for him to be taken care of while we were at work. We were referred to DPD by a few different people, so we had Kevin come out to meet us and the pup (Franz). During our first session with meeting Kevin, he was very helpful in answering a few questions we had and gave some tips on raising a puppy. We came up with a plan for DPD to take Franz out twice a day while he is a puppy, and will move on to him going on group walks as he gets older. We love that they leave us little notes after each session so that we can keep up with how Franz is doing. It's also great to know that they work on some obedience training with him as well, and we are even training him with German commands that they have asked us for and are using! It's very clear by the notes and all interactions we've had with DPD that they are a great service and care about our pup as much as we could hope for. Highly recommended! read more

Kevin and his crew are the best. I was having trouble finding a dog walker and was immediately impressed with Kevin. He was very responsive right away and set up our dog Simone for a walk. He even copied our keys for us when we weren't able to do it in time. His crew leaves the nicest notes to report on Simone's walk. She's always so happy when I return home. I requested that she do group walks when possible and she now has a regular dog buddy that she walks with almost every time. Their online booking system makes it easy to reschedule or add more walks as needed. I highly recommend DPD! read more

New to the Pittsburgh area, with a limited network to look after my two cat (Audrey Hepburn and Cyd Charrise, it was movie night at the shelter when they were rescued) if I had business travel or vacation plans I found my way to Kevin and the crew. Then the pandemic arrived. Travel was no longer the issue, but who I who I could count on to look after Cyd and Audrey if I was sick and hospitalized. After a meet and greet with Kevin, with him taking notes on routines, food supplies, litter box location, I was confident that DPD was the safety net I was looking for. It is hard to quantify the comfort it has given me in these crazy times to know that Kevin and the team are there if I need them. I would and have recommended them to every pet parent as that "just in case" relationship to have in advance. read more

The UBER of Dog Walking! The online scheduling system makes it extremely convenient for setting up visits to walk the pups / paying the bill. Kevin is a true dog whisperer and his walker, Casey, is also well experienced at being a dog's best friend. They truly care about what they're doing and can be relied upon when you need them, we always feel comfortable knowing our little guy is safely in their hands. Keep up the good work! read more

kevin has been great to work with...one of your dogs (over 140 lbs) can be a little challenging when meeting strangers...never before has we seen her immediately accept someone new in the house the way she accepted him. He has been more than professional, timely, flexible with our needs...I have nothing but praise for the support he's given us and our pups. read more

Very pleased with DPD and we have finally settled on our go-to, overnight housing arrangement for our two young dogs. We now have total peace of mind when work and/or personal travel interferes with our normal schedules. We highly recommend giving them a call if you're looking for high quality care at an affordable and reasonable price. Kevin and team are excellent at what they do, and we are almost as thrilled as our pups when it's time for a play date and sleep over! Seriously, the dogs love it and we do too when we need to lean on them. 5 Stars! read more

As busy dog owners, Kevin and his team were invaluable to us and made our lives so much easier. Our dog is a tough nut to crack and from the getgo DPD really recognized his needs. Unfortunately, we moved out of the area they cover, and had to find other accommodations. But we miss working with them and our dog misses his walks with his BFF (dogwalker) Jen the most! I'd recommend them to any dog owner - thanks for everything DPD! read more

Don't be misled by the name; Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs takes excellent care of cats, too! I travel a lot between Pittsburgh and DC, and DPD has taken great care of my very shy black cat while I'm gone. Like many shy creatures, Sally nevertheless craves affection and gentle attention, and I can tell when I return that she's received it from DPD. Good communication. Thumbs up to a reliable and caring service. read more

Don't waste your time calling other dog walking companies - CALL DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH DOGS! You will not be disappointed. Kevin is fantastic! He's incredibly easy to work with, very professional, and above all, is great with animals! He takes the time to get to know his clients (humans and dogs), and eased any concern we had with leaving our pets with his staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Kevin and Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs are a lifesaver! I contacted them in a pinch about boarding my puppy last minute, and I'm so thrilled that I did. They're super professional and responsive, and I totally trust my dog with them (which isn't an easy feat!). During our 4 day board, Kevin kept us in the loop with a couple of texts and posted a picture to Facebook. This definitely helped us feel connected and reassured us during our absence. I can happily recommend DPDs, and will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

Kevin and his team have been a lifesaver! My dogs love having their walks and training sessions. At this point I don't know what I would do without them. They are wonderful!! read more

DTD offers the best service around! We were in need of a dog walker for our puppy while at work. We contacted several companies to help us out. The only one to respond was DTD. Kevin was able to come meet us and our pup the next day, and begin walking service the day after that. The online site makes scheduling and payments hassle free. There have been several times where we needed the dog walker (Casey, shes the best!) to come the next day, and were not able to request it until 9pm the night before. She has always been there for us! Both Kevin and Casey have been wonderful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of pet services! read more

The first time I talked to Kevin he came to visit the very same day! I love downtown Pittsburgh dogs. They are so great! For the short time we have been utilizing their services, we receive daily messages about how our little one did on his walk. We currently have a little puppy, and work full time. It is difficult getting home to let him out, so Kevin and his team take him out for a mid day potty break, and even feed him! We are so grateful for their help, and we know our puppy is getting the best care, even if for a short moment of the day! 10/10 recommend. Kindest people out there! read more

Kevin really helped us out this 4th of July. We needed to do something with our 2 dogs for the day since we were taking a day trip out of town. All the kennels were either over priced, over booked, or wanted us to leave our dogs with them for 3 days...ridiculous! Kevin was able to meet with us immediately to introduce himself to the dogs and make sure they liked him and that we trusted him. I had a friend in town who met him briefly when we exchanged keys and she said immediately after he left "wow I think I would leave my kids with him" because even in a 5 min interaction she could tell he was so kind and responsible. I usually do not like giving people access to my home when I am not there but I have no issues with Kevin coming whenever we need him. We will definitely use his services again, our dogs were so happy when we came home, not depressed like when they leave the kennel usually. read more

Kevin and his team of walkers/sitters are reliable, friendly, honest, & trust-worthy. I feel so relaxed leaving my dog in their care for both overnight boarding or day-time walks and feedings. They have my full trust and confidence. I know my dog is getting a lot of exercise with their team because she always comes home tired. They are such a great Pittsburgh company. read more

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs has been a godsend for me and my dog Mia. I'm in Pittsburgh for a long term work contract and had to bring my dog Mia being she's my little girl. I was considering dog daycare or a walker and had no daycare nearby and Mia prefers home anyway so I was referred to DPD and Kevin by The Crate Escape, who I originally selected but they didn't service my area. So I called Kevin and we met and he's a great guy so I felt comfortable. So the first day I joined to make Mia feel at ease and also see what it's like. It was an awesome walk for use both and I knew Mia could be home while I'm working and she'd get a break to exercise, pee and poop. That evening I decided it was such a excellent walk that I'd do 2 per day. It's been perfect! And I come home and even have a journal entry for each walk. For anyone that has a dog downtown home during the day I HIGHLY recommend DPD. Your dog will be happier, healthier, and will likely lose behavioral issues because your dog needs to connect with other dogs and people and they need exercise. And your pooch will sleep better and be calmer in the evening so you can rest and sleep better too. DPD IS AWESOME! read more

Kevin and his team have been a godsend to us these last five months as we recently moved to Pittsburgh from the Chicagoland area with our Shepherd mix, Sophie. From the get go, they have been AWESOME - working with her to walk on a "loose" leash rather than pulling us along and socializing her with other neighborhood dogs who became her new friends. I can't say enough about this group of people who helped make the transition for Sophie (and us) a lot less stressful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - Donna and Mike Ford read more

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs is great. They've been walking my standard poodle since the fall. Courteous, flexible, reliable and professional. Recommended to me by a neighbor. Very trustworthy. A good value for the cost. read more

Kevin and his team are incredible. Just a few days after bringing my 10 week old puppy home I quickly realized I didn't have anybody to take her out while I was at work that first time! I reached out to a few places and Kevin was the only one to respond that day! (The others took almost 5 days to respond....) Then, when I told him the urgency of the situation, he came down THAT DAY to meet my baby Sacha and talk with me about what I'm looking for in my puppy walks for her. Then he told me he would make sure he took care of her that night!! Not only is this a great business decision, it really showed me that he cares about all the pups and his bottom line is to make sure that they are all getting the care that they need. That included rearranging his schedule to take her out in the middle of an evening on a Saturday, last minute, with a new client. Since that day, I could not possibly go to anybody else. All of the staff at Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs is wonderful. I love coming home and seeing the cute little notes that they leave about their visit. Highly highly recommend this great team. read more

Kevin and his team are the best. They have always been so accommodating and willing to put up with any ridiculous request we have made. I know the dogs are always in great hands on walks with Casey (and Spunky!) and overnights with Kevin. They are truly willing to go above the beyond. Definitely recommend this compassionate team to take care of your doggies! read more

Best in the biz. Kevin and his team are my go-to dog sitter when we leave town. He is professional and flexible.

Kevin and Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs are great! Kevin spent a lot of time making sure they were a good fit for Bailey. I highly recommend them. read more
