Description

If you’re looking for a great place for your dog to sniff, run, and explore this is the place. Our dog loves to explore the creek, sniff out little critters, and get out her zoomies. Our property isn’t fenced and is close to a busy road so we do recommend a long lead if your dog doesn’t have solid recall. I will leave out a water bowl when you’re here the trash can is always on the driveway if you need to dispose of any poop bags. Please pick up after your dog is you can to avoid spreading disease. The area at the back of the property is a bit more secure and surrounded by woods. You will find the creek back there. There’s a bit of a deeper spot if your dog likes to swim but it’s great for those who just like to wade. I also recommend bug spray and to be sure your dog is on flea and tick preventive. We keep the grass short but there are plenty of woods and deer so ticks are there. You might see some geese, ducks, rabbits, and other manner of wildlife. We own the woods behind the creek but don’t have a bridge built to get over there. When the creek is low you can walk over but again ticks are likely. We hope you enjoy!

Hi! My name is Rachel. My husband and I along with our dog, Bean, live at our budding homestead - Pine Run Homestead. Being the mom of a reactive dog I know how important it is to find stress free places for your dog to roam. Bean is part of why we bought the property and so we want to share it with others who might have the same needs.

Colin's Private Dog Park In Pittsburgh

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
