Description

We have a large fenced in backyard in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Our fence is 6’ high. We do have children. So, there are lots of toys around and a swing set. We have an above ground pool but, no dogs or human guests are allowed on the pool deck or in the pool. There is a metal trash can to dispose of your dog poop. It is near the gate where you came in. I will leave water and two bowls out on our patio. Feel free to use them or your own. I leave camping chairs on the patio or they might be around the yard. Feel free to move them anywhere you’d like. Parking is available in our driveway or on the street, in front of our house. Please only use the backyard at this time. The front is fenced separately. You go in the driveway, up the steps and through the gate. Please reach out with any questions.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is a steep hill between the top and bottom portion of our yard. You walk up to the right of the hill. Where it isn’t as steep. We’ve never had any issue with the hill for dogs or kids. My dogs have always like to go on the English ivy and weeds to sniff around.

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

We’d love for you to come use our 1/4 acre back yard. It is fenced in with a 6 foot chain link fence and private. If you’d like to let your dog run and play and not have to worry about other pets or people, then our yard could be just what you’re looking for. We are asking for $5 per use but you are welcome to stay as long as you wish. We have chairs for you to sit if you want to relax and let your dog explore. Contact me at 412-760-8301 if you’re interested. Thank you.

Near McIntyre Square/UMPC Passavant/McCandless Crossing. You may park in our driveway or on the street. Enter the backyard via either gate and enjoy! - Water jug under the deck (attn: may be frozen in winter) - Poop bags by the water jug - Trash can under the deck for poop bags - Bin of dog toys for your use - flirt pole, chuck it balls, tug, frisbee - Table and chairs in the yard and also on the deck If your dog likes to dig, they may dig freely in the dirt under the deck. This is a yard full of great sniffs - squirrels, chipmunks, voles, birds, bunnies and ground hogs all trek through regularly. Many dogs love to climb up on the stone walls and sniff everything. Running around on the huge deck is also popular! Note: The large deck has bird feeders containing safflower and sunflower seed. They are mostly out of reach, but safe for dogs just in case. DO NOT ENTER OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. **Please use caution in winter as everything will be snowy and slippery. The backyard and deck are not cleared in winter.

1 Acre Fully Fenced Private yard In Robinson

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Back yard is about 3/4 to an acre fully fenced. There is an above ground pool with a fence around the deck. Small dogs will be able to sneak through the pool deck fence so use caution with smaller pups. We block the deck off with all the pool junk best we can. Depending on if we are home the yard is always picked up before each guest and fresh water put out for your pup. If you need to book with shorter notice, send me a message and see if I can make accommodations. I also block time off to mow grass or if we are using the pool. A lot of the time I am done early so you can always message me and we can see if it’s available. Any questions just ask :)

Hey everyone, My partner Wendy and I have a fully fenced (6 ft tall), private backyard (~1,700 sq ft) in East Liberty a few blocks from the Target and in the middle of the East End of Pittsburgh. We don’t use the backyard as much as we should, so we’re offering it to you and your pets! And our indoor cats, Binks and Tonks, will really enjoy seeing your dogs run around back there. We have chairs for owners, a deck for shade, toys and water for the pups, and street parking is available. We’re happy to add a place for your pets to run and play! Best, Colin and Wendy

Brooke's 8.5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Mars

Unfenced
8.5 acres

Our home sits on 8 acres with Glade Run Creek running through it! We have two large fields as well as woods in the back of the house. If you need a quiet place for your dog to roam and swim like our dogs do, please enjoy! (My dogs will be put away and we no longer have birds…just a cute photo for reference/view of the property) Note: the field with the golf course and volleyball is not our property. One of our neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out which we have no control over, however, there are 8 acres to explore so if you see his dog outside on his property, it’s easy to avoid an interaction. In the summer, the wire fence around the garden in the front field is electric to keep out deer, won’t hurt your pup but will definitely give them a startling zip if they touch it. If we are home we will sometimes be out on our deck, mostly in the summer, but our house is up on the hill and with 8 acres to explore and the creek running through the center of our property, it’s easy to still have your privacy.

Amanda's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Economy Borough

Fully Fenced

Beautiful backyard (2 miles outside of Cranberry Twp off Freedom Rd) with lots of toys, water bowls, hose/running water, dog pool if desired, hanging ball on cord attached to tree. Lots of space to run, and super comfy chairs for owners to relax in! Smoking is permitted (must utilize ashtray provided). Be mindful your dogs don’t eat or ruin the raised garden beds surrounding patio! Newly planted apple trees are in the back of the yard but are protected by small fences. Neighbors have dogs that will visit at the fence! But they are willing to keep them inside if your dog(s) get upset. Entry: you can park anywhere in the back of the driveway near the fence gate. The fence gate has a carabiner on the inside that ensures the gate stays latched. You can easily reach your hand through to remove. Gate is very heavy but will open easily about 2 feet for entry without having to lift the gate to get it wider. Please replace carabiner when leaving.
