Description

Large and rustic back yard is a sniff-haven for nosey pups. With about 1/3 of a acre fenced in, large biodiversity lends to tons of exploration beyond running around. 15 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to about one hour of physical exercise! I worked at a large dog daycare and boarding facility for nearly 5 years, and this yard is a *dream* for my dogs. We have a 7 foot stock tank pool which serves as a jumping platform in the off-season, and a perfect swimming spot in the summer! And we won't judge if the humans want to take a dip, just be mindful of small children, as there is obviously no lifeguard on duty. This yard is perfect for doggy get togethers, and even hosted a large dog birthday party one summer! We have a grill and hammocks available for use at your request, and a fire ring center yard for toasting your smores or hot dogs. I usually have scrap wood to burn, but BYO firewood if you want to be 100% sure! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or other requests!

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

COUNTRY YARD! This yard was originally a giant garden and brush area, and we are slowly but surely working towards a more "typical" yard. The soil can be soft and uneven in areas, and there are more "brushy" areas as well. There are wild raspberry bushes along the brush line that produce a small amount of fruit in the summer! We do get a fair share of wildlife, mostly rabbits, that come through the yard on occasion. Very similar to a clearing on a nature trail!

POOCH'S PARADISE in Jenison - Agility, Ball Pit, Enrichment, & More

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pooch’s Paradise! I’m Kaitlyn, a professional dog trainer who owns Kaitlyn’s Dog Training. My dogs are basically my children, and the entire yard has been catered to them and my clients’ dogs. This half-acre yard is fully fenced (6 foot privacy, plus a 4-ft chain link surrounding a garden area), and even has a double-gate system to enter and exit, like you would see at a dog park to add extra safety. There are tons of enrichment activities available. I always have a wide variety of toys, a children’s climbing playset, a large ball pit, agility equipment (tunnels, a small A Frame, a teeter totter, a small tire jump, weave poles, and a panel jump). ** I also have kiddie pools and/or a treat scavenger hunt I can add if you give advance notice and select it as an add-on option.** There’s a gazebo that offers shade and is also screened in to prevent most bugs from getting in. There’s a clear tote by the entry gate that contains clean towels and also a Mudbuster tool for cleaning off paws. We do everything we can to provide the absolute best experience for you and your dog, and we think you’ll love it! The only dogs I have ever allowed on the property are vaccinated, healthy, and up-to-date on flea & tick prevention. All the pups who visit my home find that the yard is quite literally their own personal playground, and I know your dogs will love it too!

1/3 Acre of Fenced Freedom with Seating, Shelter, and Lighting

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

This fully fenced 1/3-acre yard is designed with dogs (and their humans) in mind. Whether your pup loves to dig, chase squirrels, or just lounge in the shade, they’ll find plenty to explore — from pine cones and sticks to the well-worn digging spot approved by the host’s own dog. The mix of wood and chain-link fencing offers security, with an optional gate chain for added peace of mind. A covered, lighted seating area lets you relax in comfort, and a bright floodlight keeps the yard usable even during those early winter sunsets. With trees, privacy, and plenty of sniffs (rabbits, birds, chipmunks, and the occasional possum), this space is a cozy, secure retreat for dogs of all play styles.
