Location

Description

Welcome to Woofing Woods! Located on a quiet road in Harmony Twp/Ambridge (Beaver County, PA), Woofing Woods is about 5.25 acres of my woodland, non-level, unfenced, private property for your pup's enrichment, exercise, and fun! My backyard slopes downhill and becomes wooded. This is where the trail begins! At the bottom you'll find a supply station, and you'll see three main trails to explore. If you explore past the field and cross the stream, the very back of the property levels out and feels very much like a secluded nature park. Please consider whether my spot is a good fit for you and your pup due to the terrain and unfenced aspects of the property. My Sniffspot is also not great for small kids or possibly older joints and bones on pups. If you need or prefer level ground or cement with fencing then we're probably not a great fit! Thanks for sniffing around!

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

My spot is hilly. My spot is non-level. The trail into the woods might feel steep to you or your dog. Please walk safely. There are neighborhood noises close by, such as dogs barking or lawn mowers, etc. If your dog is reactive and bolts, my unfenced spot may not be a great fit. Prepare for walking downhill/uphill, uneven terrain, tree branches, tree roots, mud, bugs, downed trees or other natural woodsy elements. There are many bugs that live in the woods. This includes mosquitoes, ticks, flies, bees, and other potentially bothersome critters.

Additional rules

Parking is for one vehicle only. Drive past my driveway and pull into the gravel spot right next to it. Look for the fluorescent green tape to guide you around the house to the backyard and trail. Please leash pup(s) to and from your vehicle and the trail. Please be sure your pup(s) are under your control if off leash on my property. You can still have a pawsome time hiking and exploring if you decide to keep your dog leashed! Property lines are marked along the perimeter with purple paint and purple tape on tree trunks. The main trails are marked with bright green marking tape. Please don't litter, consume alcohol or drugs, bring illegal weapons, bring glass containers, use drones, steal, carve into trees, graffiti, light fires, grill, smoke, hunt, take/share pics of our home or family, or damage my or my neighbors' property. Please watch your step.

Community safety rules

	Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the spot.
	Make sure the area is safe and secure before bringing your dog in.
	Arrive and leave on time, this is important for safety.
	Pick up after your dogs. Leave the spot as it was when you arrived.
	Always review and abide by spot specific rules.
	Unless otherwise stated, restrooms are not available on site.

Such a wonderful location! Clearly marked area to park and disem-bark, relaxing shade area with the hammocks and the hydration station is a brilliant, nicely organized and absolutely clean area! A+, would sniff again! :)

Lovely property, we'll have to come back when the weather is cooperating (:
Host replied: Thank you very much! Yes, please do come back!

We had another great time here! It’s so much fun to watch our pups run though all of the new foliage. We tried out the new hose/spray down station, and it was wonderful! During the hose down, we found a tick on one of our pups, but Stephanie had thought ahead and had tick removers available at that station. We were able to get the tick off without any trouble. Thanks for a great visit!
Sara H., May 30, 2022
We had a great time! Our pup, Brody loved exploring the woods and trails and we appreciated the hammocks after walking the hills 😊 We did see a couple of big toads so keep an eye out! Definitely looking forward to coming back
Host replied: Thank you for coming out to explore! The hammocks are ready whenever you are!
Kyle S., May 28, 2022
Absolutely amazing off-leash area! There was so much room to run around, tons of hills to climb, and a stream for my pups to cool off in. The trails and boundaries were very clearly marked and water and other amenities were provided for both me and my pups. We can’t wait to come back soon!
Host replied: Awesome to hear, Kyle! Thank you for lmk! Hope to have you all back at Woofing Woods soon!
Erin K., May 23, 2022
My dogs had a great time at Woofing Woods! The trails are marked really well and my dogs loved running through the little creek. We will definitely be back!
Host replied: Thank you for the review, Erin and pups! Hope to have you back for some more adventuring!
Kayla T., May 8, 2022
This spot was amazing! My two small pups had so much fun exploring the huge amount of space. We were so thankful for the toys, water, and many other supplies that Stephanie had available for us. We can’t wait to come back!
Host replied: Hope to have you back again! There is a lot to explore! I also wanted to let you know that you can find Woofing Woods on TikTok, if there's any pics or vids you'd like to share from your visits! We're @woofingwoodsnaturepark. Also Facebook and Insta! Thank you for bringing the pups and you're welcome to visit again to enjoy some more! Thanks for taking the time to review my spot as well!

This property is super nice, and in a really quiet neighborhood. The trail to the woods is clearly marked, and I love the little amenities like a water dish and water, a hammock, and a dog bed. The host is so kind and communicated with me before and after. By no fault of hers, or the property itself, my girl was just not digging it. She's an older gal, and the hills on the property were not easy for her. A younger dog would relish in this experience! Highly recommend as long as you know you're in for a climb!
Host replied: Thank you for being our first guests! Your feedback has helped me to better describe Woofing Woods on Sniffspot for future guests. I know we don't seem to be Raven's fave new spot, but she's welcome back any time for a visit on us! Thank you again for the thoughtful review!

Hi! I've owned this wooded property in Harmony Twp for about 12 years. My degree is in park and resource management, although most of my adult life has been spent momming. I began providing pet care through Rover.com in 2016 after closing my tiny online knitting business. In 2022 I began a Facebook group for our small local community to post and share about our pets, strays, and ferals, after learning about TNR and experiencing the process myself. The needs of my rescue pup, Luke, as well as my experiences with caring for over 60 pets have helped shape my interest in learning more about canine reactivity and the beauty and importance of providing a variety of enrichment activities. Luke is 13 years young and loves a hike in the woods! Sniffari's, decompression walks, enrichment hikes, scent strolls-- whatever you like to call them-- he thrives in nature. Sometimes he sniffs along a trail for an hour and sometimes he gallops excitedly ahead. So I've named my spot "Woofing Woods Nature Park" in his honor. Thanks for reading this far and I hope you find that it's all that it's barked up to be around here!

1 Acre Fully Fenced Private yard In Robinson

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 :)

Bill's Private Dog Park In Scott Twp/Carnegie

We have a beautiful large fenced in backyard just adjacent to a wooded area. Plenty of shade available. Plenty of parking in our driveway. And, we have Leo who is a social 2 year old 42lb mini Newfypoo who is willing to come out and play with you, if desired. Landscaping, fence and driveway were just upgraded last summer, so come and play!

7 Acre Dog Paradise: Flat, Stream, Hills, Woods.

We own approximately 7 acres in Franklin Park that is mostly flat with some hills. Approximately 3 acres of flat pasture, and 4 acres of woods that circle the property and behind the home. There is a stream that flows through the property which borders the pasture entering the woods and a bridge to cross. Hills naturally fence in the property and will keep your pup safe. There is plenty of room for any dog, kids, and family to play! Feel free to use the hammock and garden table in the woods to relax. Also, your children are welcome to use our Club house/Swing Set, roller coaster, or pretend house at your own risk. If you enjoy our property and would like for your pup to experience it more and need boarding, I board as well! Please find me on Rover and book your pup's stay!
