55Excellent spot! My lab loved it here. Secure fencing, well-maintained yard, and beautiful neighborhood. The hosts had some extra toys and water that my pup enjoyed.
55What a nice yard for my dog to run and play. The owner made our time convenient and easy to enjoy. Thank you.
55Such a great sniffspot! Theo loved running throughout the backyard. Instructions were clear and toys/water were provided. I would definitely recommend
55Thank you for ice water and chair! I got to relaxed as pup enjoyed roaming.
55Very nice back yard with plenty of water, nice grass, supplies including some treats, and a chair to sit in! Very thoughtful set up. Easy entrance and exit! Would highly recommend
55Easily accessible grassy yard with great space for running around. Host provided fresh cold water, bowl, lawn chair, and toys. Delightful!
55Wonderful little space to play some fetch and let your dog lounge! My dog had a blast sniffing, running, and rolling around.
55The yard is immaculate and my hyper golden retriever, Benson, had the best time. There’s a nice portion of the yard that is shaded from the sun so it was perfect. Will definitely be back!
45Nice spot! Perfect size, quiet, and the grass is nice. The host left out some supplies (toys, treats, etc) along with some fresh water in a bowl for the dogs. Everything was as expected and labeled/communicated well. My 75lb dog was able to jump through the gap in the fence (between the X areas), though, so keep an eye out for any dogs that sometimes like to wander.
55We had a great time here! The doggies loved the fresh grass. I loved that the yard was very clean and nice. We will definitely be coming back!

Fully enclosed fenced backyard. Lots of space to run and chase balls. Wide open. Lots of shade in the morning, full sun for a couple hours during the day, and scattered shade from neighboring trees in the late afternoon.  Pesticide-free and natural lawn care, maintained and mowed on a regular schedule. Soft plush grass that feels good on paws and feet. Bring a blanket to lie down on and have a picnic! I'll be getting two rocking chairs in a couple of weeks!

Hi! Welcome to Grassy Bliss! Your own private dog park! Super soft grass that is well maintained in a peaceful neighborhood. We built this fence for our dogs to enjoy the backyard. They have all crossed over Rainbow Bridge so we thought that other pups could enjoy it as much as ours did. Thanks for stopping by!

**we are open during rainy weather! Our yard has playground wood chips only, so no mud or slippery grass and the patio umbrella or tree coverage keeps paw parents dry! Welcome! We have a very secure private fenced in yard in a quiet and very dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, and a side entry gate.  Our yard has sunny areas and plenty of natural shade from the trees.   A natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 6ft wooden fence all the way around the property, and a side entry gate.  We moved here because of this yard specifically for our canine pack!   The ground cover is soft playground wood chips, soft for all pup paws, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies!  Also completely pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer free yard! Also added bonuses, no mud or slippery surfaces during or after rain, also dries quickly. Plus the playground chips are a natural tick repellent. A fresh thick layer of mulch added late April! You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs and lawn chair seating.  We also provide poop bags, doggie wipes and towels, extra dog water bowls, outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills or hose play, elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink and a few refreshments for humans too! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard.  Good space for running, playing chase, frisbee, tennis ball, chuck it, soccer ball action for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around under the shade or in sun spots for the more mature pups!  The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk! Memberships are available for this spot, benefits include member only hours during the cooler hours in the mornings and evenings in the hotter weather and shorter advanced booking times. All 100% of booking proceeds are donated to rescue groups saving neglected/abused/sick/healthy unwanted pets dumped in overcrowded high kill sheltes - including recurring monthly donations to Pets With Disabilities; Lizzy's Lodge Rescue; Miri's Legacy; Angel's Among Us Pet Rescue; Big Dog Ranch Rescue; Shadow's Sanctuary; Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue; Southside SPCA; HART; and Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation.  Any funds left over go to pledges for harder to adopt out pups on death row in overcrowded kill shelters, so rescue groups can pull them out to safety. Thank you for supporting pups in need.
