DPD has been taking care of our dog Cooper since he was 12 weeks old and we couldn’t be more grateful for all their care over the last three years. They are always available via text and are very flexible with scheduling and moving walks. We have also had Cooper boarded with DPD many times and he always comes back a happy pup. They always provide photos and descriptions of the service which put a huge smile on our face when we are away. Thank you Kevin, Jane and the whole DPD team for your hard work and commitment to Cooper and we will continue to recommend Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs to everyone with pets in the Pittsburgh area. Less

The DPD team has been so wonderful, they began walking my dog angus a year ago, I stopped using them recently due to a move but would recommend them to anyone. I have a large Staffy and he is incredibly difficult to walk and care for and they have handled him swimmingly and provide the cutest pictures and updates from his walks. We will miss working with DPD so much! Less

We have a condo in Downtown PGH and a sweet new puppy! A friend of mine referred us to DTPD …. Every level of service and care was exceptional!!! Our little pup is excited every time someone comes to walk her … we also had to board her for two nights and there was no doubt how loved and cared for she was! Their communication is outstanding and comforting!! Sooo very happy we are clients !! Less

We just got back from a short trip to NYC and we used DPD for the very first time. Steve was really great with our dog Sophie. I loved getting the update reports and additional text messages that really set our minds at ease. We haven't been able to travel together in 6 years because we couldn't get anyone to watch Sophie and we didn't want her in a kennel. We are so happy we found DPD and plan to use them in June for a longer trip. We highly recommend Steve. Thank you!! Less

Kevin and his team are amazing! On call staff to answer the phones, easy system to book walks and sitters for my dog and cat. Consistent excellent service by all team members left me with peace of mind knowing my fur babies were safe and loved. Highly Recommend!! Less

Everything about DPD from start to finish has been beyond excellent. The reliable, caring attitude begins with the initial meeting with Kevin. Despite all of the needs of our sweet old Golden Retriever who has now passed, we knew she was comfortable and loved in her own home environment. Thank you to a fabulous group of professional folks! Less

Kevin and his team are excellent !! Every single dog walker is amazing !! They love my dog, take her for long walks, let her do her business and she comes back exhausted!! Good for mom and dad ! Mary Lou Zink Less

DPD has been crucial to being able to have a puppy while working full time out of the house! We got our puppy at 2 months old and DPD was able to start walking her right away- relived lots of our worries about going to work and helped us in potty training. Now she's 8 months and has started walking with other dogs for socialization! Kevin is exactly the person you'd want to speak with when getting started with a puppy- so knowledgable. The walkers are dependable, friendly in their communication, punctual and true animal lovers. We know Pierogi is in good hands everyday :) Plus our day is made getting a midday picture and update. We love the flexibility of cancellation, ease of use with their online portal and ability for last minute requests as my husband's schedule can change occasionally. We've also used the boarding services for a trip and again knew our pup was in good hands- she came back tired and happy after lots of outside play time! Highly recommend and are so happy to continue using their services! Less

We've been using Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs for the past few years. Great communication. All the cat sitters really love cats and take great care of our cat. Our cat looks forward to seeing them every time. They also help water our plants when needed. They have a dedicated place on their site to leave detailed instructions. Less

We have been using Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs to help fill in the gaps when we aren't able to walk our German Shorthaired Pointer puppy. The walkers always show up, they are all great with Luna, and we appreciate the post walk messages that they send. It is also incredibly easy to book appointments with the online portal. There have been a few times I needed last minute walks booked and they have a number you can text and someone always responds within a reasonable amount of time. Having a puppy, especially while working full time, can be stressful at times but having a trustworthy service like DPD around has made this experience so much less stressful. I appreciate this local Pittsburgh company and highly recommend (esp for my fellow healthcare workers who work long shifts!!). Less

DPD was outstanding! They were attentive and did a great job with my puppy. The flexibility they offer with scheduling (last minute cancellations/additions without fees) is something I have been unable to find elsewhere. The daily picture/note update from the walk was helpful and the team did a great job with communication. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog/puppy walker. We only left because we moved away from Pittsburgh. Less

Couldn’t be happier with the DPD Team! The owner, Kevin, is awesome and taught me how to properly walk my dogs and fit my nearly unmanageable golden puppy with a collar that stopped his pulling. My dog walker, Tim, is very professional and has done wonders for my dogs. Tim’s communication is great and he sends me an update and pic after each walk. Every other member of the team have been great to work with and they’re quick to respond if I have a last minute request. I’ve been nothing but impressed with Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs and they’re worth every penny!!! Less

I am an overprotective dog owner with a high energy dog who has always been reluctant to hire sitters or walkers. After contacting DPD in anticipation of a trip, they immediately put all my concerns to bed with their personalized and sensitive approach to my needs. While I was away, they took as fantastic care of my dog as is imaginable. Their daily updates were phenomenal and you can tell that every single one of their employees is a passionate animal lover. I felt my dog was truly cared for and loved. Indeed, I may have to take more trips just so he can hang out with the DPD squad more often. This is without even mentioning the ease with which you can schedule visits and the efficiency of their logistical team. I would highly recommend DPD to anyone needing someone to care for their pup; you will not be disappointed. Less

DPD has been so helpful with care for my dog. We have especially appreciated the effort and attention that Matt has give on every walk! The team overall is great and they are even nice about last minute cancellations if I happen to be working from home on a certain day. I only wish they had packages when you use them consistently. Less

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. Less

We are new to Pittsburgh and really needed a pet sitter for time way. I was referred to Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs by our leasing agent. I am thrilled she provided such an excellent referral. These folks are top notch! Daily visits, pics (hilarious!) and updates made us feel so good while we were away. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. I have already booked my next in-home care! Less

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs proves to be the ideal pet-care arrangement for our curmudgeonly, elderly dog. Kevin and his fleet of dog walkers are kind, prompt, helpful, and attentive to our dog's needs. We appreciate DPD!! Thank you! Less

DPD is an extremely reputable company. We have been dealing with Kevin and his team for the last 3 years or so. We connected initially for walking services for our 1 year old (at the time) lab and eventually they’ve taken over all aspects of our pet care when we’re gone and walking when we are away. Kevin and his team go above and beyond to make sure we are happy every step of the way. Even though they are growing, he makes you feel like you are the only customer he has. It’s really pretty awesome. We added another dog this year and are looking forward to her interactions with DPD as well. Services we recommend: - dog walks - puppy check ins - cat check ins - dog sitting (in home and out of home) With our lives being quite busy, it’s a comfort to know that we have DPD in our corner to take care of our 3 cats and 2 dogs. I highly recommend and cannot say enough good things. Another positive is their interactive client portal — you can easily communicate with the entire team via cell phone and schedule services on your own time. Less

New to the Pittsburgh area, with a limited network to look after my two cats, Audrey Hepburn and Cyd Charisse (movie night at the shelter the day 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 could I count on to take care of Cyd and Audrey if I got 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’s team is there if I need them. I would and have recommended them to every pet parent I know as that “just in case” relationship to have in advance. Less

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! Less

DPD is a very reliable, trustworthy crew. Kevin, Ciara, and Jen treated my puppy as if he was their own. I knew when a request was made it would be fulfilled. Communication was clear, concise, and punctual- even with last minute requests. Excellent and personalized suggestions regarding any kind of dog care I might have needed information about. My dog was treated as part of their family, leaving me to be confident he was well cared for when he wasn’t with me. If I weren’t leaving town I would continue using their services indefinitely. Less

When we moved to Pittsburgh, I was concerned about finding quality dog sitters for our dog. We travel a lot and needed to know that Lucy was being well taken care of. Enter DPD! Kevin came over to our apartment, met Lucy, discussed our needs and a friendship was started! We love DPD and its caring staff. They made our travel worry-free knowing that Lucy was in extremely capable hands! Less

Wonderful dog walkers. Kevin and his staff were extremely reliable and accommodating. Our dog would always get very excited when she saw Kevin. There were a few times when I needed them last minute and they were able to make it happen. Could not recommend more. Less

I always had a great experience with DPD. They were responsive and made it really easy to set a schedule that worked for me and my dog. I left for work not feeling guilty about my pup being home all day, knowing that he was going to get a great walk and attention, and the team always left nice notes to let me know how he did. Would definitely recommend! Less

I can’t recommend DPD for dog walking enough! Kevin and the team always made sure my dog got his full 30 mins worth on his walk (I have a GPS tracker on him to prove it!). They are also super easy to schedule with - you just have to request walks the day before. This was great for me because my schedule often changes with work and work travel. Less

I'm now in my second year of using Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs and I love them. More importantly, my pooch loves them. I have an older dog that I can no longer board and am extremely grateful for their overnight service. I know Ripley is safe, comfortable and loved. Their dog walking service is wonderful, too, giving me the peace of mind I need to work and know she's engaged and getting out there to do her mid-day 'business.' Less

Kevin and the crew at DPD are awesome! For Baxter, walking with a small pack is exactly what he needed to give him confidence and adventure beyond his comfort zone. The team is prompt, caring, and treat the pups well. Everything is easy to schedule online, they communicate well, and love the photos. I highly recommend their services. Less

I have nothing but good things to say about Kevin and his team. Professional, reliable, and thorough are words that come to mind. The online scheduling system is easy and convenient, and they will leave a journal with details from every visit. If you need dog walking services in Pittsburgh, look no further than DPD! Less

I have been working with Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs (DPD) for nearly 2 years and I couldn’t be happier with the service we have received. The DPD crew is extremely easy to work with, and we have found scheduling walks with DPD to be a breeze. The DPD team takes wonderful care of our dog, and we always come back to a happy and tired pooch. DPD deserves the highest accolades for the services they provide, and we are so happy to trust Kevin and his team with our dog. DPD is the best dog walking crew in Pittsburgh! Less

We are extremely pleased with Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs. They are always on time for my scheduled walks and leave the cutest messages about what they did that day. My dog is shy and slow to trust, but I always feel comfortable with the walkers at Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs! Less

DPD has been a reliable, responsive, and professional service for the four-plus years that we have used their services. Our doggo is always healthy and happy after being in their care, and we sincerely appreciate the efforts that DPD staff go to communicate with us about how he's doing. I genuinely appreciate that I don't have to worry about him while I'm away. Less

Kevin and the rest of the DPD walkers are wonderful! My neighbor and I have been working with DPD for about a year and are extremely happy. My dog is a little shy around men, but she loved Kevin right away. Nonetheless, he arranged for a female walker to take care of Stella so she would be comfortable. One time I was home when the walker came to get Stella, and she went CRAZY!! She was SO happy to see the lady that usually walks her. If that's not a good sign...I don't know what is. I don't worry about leaving the dog home during the day because I know she will get a good walk and a lot of attention from her DPD friends. Less

I have been a customer of Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs for about 5 years now and could not speak higher of them. They are always professional, kind and accommodating. I also enjoy the daily notes from the walker telling me who my dog walked with, where they went and how they did. If you are a dog owner and looking for someone to help let them out, I highly recommend Kevin and his team. Less

Kevin and his crew are absolutely amazing and have saved my life! I work long hours and my schedule is always changing. They always accommodate me even when I need an overnight stay the day before or a walk the day of without notice! My dog Bane LOVES them and is always smiling and tired after his walks. They are very reliable and trustworthy and have made my life so much easier! I always rest easy when Bane is in their hands! Bane and I could not be happier with the group and will continue to use them indefinitely! Less

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 :-) Less

They are the best! Flexible, online scheduling. The lunch leave awesome update notes and my dog might like them better than me for all the walks they give him ❤️ Less

DPD is the best! Kevin is responsive, responsible, and leads an excellent team. They treat our dog like one of their own. When I arrive home after a day that DPD has visited, our dog is clearly happy with how her day has gone. The online registering system is super flexible and their overall communication is excellent. I'm so happy to have found this group! Less

I would highly recommend DPD. Kevin, Casey and the team are amazing and are always willing to help. The care they provided for our furry buddy was top notch. Less

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs offers reliable and dependable service. The booking system is easy to use. I also appreciated the little walk updates after each walk. They genuinely seem to care about what they do and what they can do to help. Less

I love DPD! If you’re looking for a dog walker look no more! Kevin and his team are wonderful, and my dog Rooney loves her walker Ciara and loves Kevin when he walks her :). Kevin and team are always accommodating, and I love the notes they leave after every walk. Less

On our recent visit to Pittsburgh we contacted Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs to take care of our 10 year old Boxer. We needed someone to come to our hotel room while we attended a concert. I must say that at first I was apprehensive since, we had never left our dog in a hotel room with a stranger. After a couple of phone conversations with Kevin I felt reassured and comfortable leaving her under their care. Kevin is very professional and always accessible, which made all the difference. Reiley the dog sitter was confident, knowledgeable and listen very well to our instructions. She texted us during the night and kept us up to date on her progress. We were able to relax and enjoy our evening. Both my husband and I were very happy to have found Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs and highly recommend their services. Less

Kevin and his group were fantastic to both me and my pup. They are extremely responsive and flexible, letting me same day schedule or change walks with minimal notice. They always left nice updates of their walks for me to read when I got home. They were simply wonderful to both me and my dog, I cannot recommend them more highly. Less

We are beyond happy with the service and care for our dog. Kevin came to meet our us in person to discuss our needs, and had some great suggestions for our new puppy. Right away, we could tell that he is experienced and knows how to care for pets. We even received a little journal with a daily update on how our gal did with her bathroom break and walk. We feel so much better knowing that our sweet puppy has a reliable walker to care for her while we are away at work. The service is personalized and exactly what we need! At the same time we can do all our payments and scheduling online, which makes it super simple. Less

I have had nothing but the best experience working with DPD. They are so accommodating and provide the best care for lil Oliver and he especially loves Steph. I always know he's in good hands with her. She is one of a kind and Oliver and I are lucky to know her. Less

Excellent and Trustworthy This company is owned by a dog lover who took time to come to my house to meet me and my dog. This is not a franchise with a call center. It's people who love dogs and take good care of them and require coordination to ensure proper staffing and availability. Expect to build a relationship and not be able to get someone to come in an hour to walk your dog. I've used their overnight service and was very pleased. With the proper planning, you will get great service. For more impromptu scheduling, use the Dog Stop. For more personal service and attention to your dog, work with Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs. Less

We have been so pleased with Kevin, Casey and the team. Kevin met our goldendoodle Reese when she was 3 months old and helped us establish a routine for her. The team is caring, responsive, professional and flexible when needed (sick or after spay). It is a great feeling to know we leave for work and our pup is in great hands. We love getting the notes from the team to hear about the day's walk. DPD's services are fairly priced and competitive with market rates in our area. The online schedule service is easy and works well. We are so glad we found DPD and would highly recommend them! Less

Kevin and his team at DPD are great! I have been using their services since I adopted Maizie last Summer, and they have jumped in when I needed them at the last minute several times! Thanks Kevin and staff :) It's reassuring to know that Maizie is in capable hands!! Less

I worked for Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs in the summer and up until I graduated from college. I absolutely LOVED this job, I wish if I hadn't relocated back home that I'd still be working here! Kevin is an excellent teacher, experienced dog walker, and truly cares about the business he runs in Downtown Pittsburgh. He is very adamant about making sure all clients are satisfied with how we manage their pets, and the people who work for him also truly care about the pets we get to take care of. I was able to work around my strenuous college schedule to be able to walk several dogs for a half hour, or I would be able to pet-sit at client's homes while studying and monitoring a cute puppy at the same time. I, on one or more occasions, had to take a Port Authority bus to travel out of Downtown to pet sit a dog, and then come back early the next morning for college. I remember Kevin made sure I knew how to get there, made sure I was there, and made sure I returned back okay. If someone from Downtown Pittsburgh asked me who should monitor their pets or where to work being a dog walker or pet sitter, I would without a doubt recommend DPD. Thank you DPD for everything, I miss you all and hope you are doing well! Less

Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs has been fantastic! Moving to a new city can be stressful and adding a 3 year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback into the mix certainly added to the craziness. Kevin was so patient in listening to all of my concerns and questions about having a big dog in a city. It’s such a relief knowing that I can trust the DPD team to help when I need them! Roscoe LOVES his walks (and his new friends at DPD)! Less

I love Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs. Kevin and his team take such great care of my mastiffs, Blu and Winslow. Their team cares for my dogs as if they were their own. I really appreciate everything you do for them!!! Less

I can't say enough about this company! My dogs adore them and being able to travel and know that someone treats your pets like they are their own is so reassuring. Ward and Zildjian give 2 paws up! Thanks for everything you do guys! Less

Kevin and The rest of DPD has been the absolute best thing for me and Bentley. They are so accommodating to my schedule for when I need to add extra walks in at last minute. Bentley adores them and absolutely loves his walks. He has been walking with DPD since he was puppy and has grown so much and has made so many doggy friends. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for Bentley and I. I recommend Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs to anyone. Less

We are so happy with Pittsburgh downtown dogs. Bentley gets his daily walks. They are alway on schedule and are very accommodating when he needs to go for a 2nd walk on a short notice ! Less

We had our first experience with Kevin and his team this weekend. My wife and I traveled to Pittsburgh from Cleveland to run the Pittsburgh half marathon. We wanted to bring along our 4 month old collie, Finn, for the weekend but didn't want to leave him alone at our hotel during the race. I called Kevin from Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs a week before the race! He was able to reach out and find a sitter who could accommodate us. He was very friendly and helpful. The sitter's name was Michelle. She was able to pick up our pup at 530am(!!!) so we could make it to the race. I ended up being late picking Finn up and Michelle was very kind and flexible. The whole experience was awesome and if we go back to Pittsburgh, we'll make sure to give them a call. Less
