The property is 100% fenced- the fencing is 3 feet high- there is a gate in the driveway, once closed it is completely fenced in.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is one house to the east of the property. Our fence runs along their property line- the fence is 5ft along their property line. They do have chickens, a dog and outdoor cats. There are times throughout the year that neighboring properties have people hunting/shooting on their land. During that time gunfire and sometimes be heard. There are no safety concerns. We are already seeing tics this season. Wear bug spray (there is some in the back) and make sure your pups are on preventatives.

Fully fenced fun

Fully Fenced

My backyard is almost 1 acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located, easy parking. Low visibility of other dogs or people. Tons of room to run and sniff! *Water is off until May. Please bring water.* The water is usually left ready to go, but the spigot on the side of the house is off. To use it, open the valve on the side of the house by the driveway. When you leave, please shut it off again, it tends to drip otherwise. Thanks!

HAPPY APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS…. Welcome to our .33 acre fully fenced shady backyard oasis that’s full of sniffs and fun for your furry companions 🐶 🎾 🦴 🐿️ 2026 UPDATES… There is now motion lighting on the patio and at the back of the garage. Looking to add some solar lighting in the back half of the yard soon. A retractable gate has been put on the deck stairs to prevent barking matches at the back door. If it’s not closed, feel free to do so. Things to love ❤️ Forest 🌳 foliage: Large mature trees that provide ample shade and lots of opportunity for Snifari’s. A serene zen like park/forest setting for exploration or leisure with a plethora of room to roam and explore. A very deep yard making fetch an Olympic event. Total privacy and security 🔐 Fully fenced with 3 sides of 6 foot privacy fencing and 5 foot chain link gated fence at the entryway. No neighbors to the east. Off leash freedom for your dog(s) to run, play and explore with peace of mind for the humans. Dog Friendly amenities (put away during winter) A ball 🎾 and toy pit for games of fetch, tug and more. Two dog pools and water hose to fill/refill (spring/summer). Agility equipment coming 2026. Outdoor cots for sun 🌞 bathing Several seating options for the humans: table and chairs by the fire 🔥 pit and more seating on the concrete patio with an umbrella. Come relax, read a book, do some work or engage in some one on one time with your doggo(s).

Ultimate Sniffing Experience in Roseville!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Winter Update 2025/2026 - still open for sniffs! We’ve taken down the hammock and the sunshade on the gazebo, and put the pool away… but still open for sniffing fun! Be careful of any ice that may be around - the “grippy stuff” I put down is cat litter for traction… totally dog safe! Nearly 1/3 of an acre in Roseville available for your dog to sniff until their heart’s content! Open mowed grassy area wide enough for zoomies and long enough for fetch, as well as natural/unmanicured shaded areas for “jungle sniffari’s”. Not far off of Highway 36 and 35E, enjoy the perks of room to run while having the privacy of your own space. Plenty of seating for humans underneath a shaded gazebo, with a table and basic amenities for guest use. Please be aware that we do have other dogs in the neighborhood. This includes our direct neighbors to the north, who we share a chain link fence with. If you are visiting on an evening or weekend, there’s a good chance their dog will be outside also!
