Huge yard in central Austin, great for play!

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Yards this large are rare in Austin! It backs up to a creek which adds some nice smells and sights for your pups :) The yard is fully fenced, with a latch on the gate to keep your pups secure. There is a spacious deck with an umbrella, a fan, and a plenty of seating. You can take it easy while your pups play, or take a rest after playing together 🥰 There is a picnic table and a hammock available as well. There is also a waste bin for you. Please enjoy our space!

Fully Fenced Yard For Big or Small Dogs in Austin

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

I would love to share my big, beautiful backyard with other dogs and the people who love them! I have a new fence that is completely secure -- my two curious chihuahua mixes are capable of finding any holes or openings no matter how small, so rest assured that your dogs will stay safe inside once the gate is closed. The fence is 6 feet high, so your dogs won't be able to see into neighbors' yards or the road, although they may get glimpses of my dogs through the sliding glass doors into my home. There are LOTS of smells to sniff, places to explore, and trees to pee on. I have automatic solar-powered string lights throughout the backyard, so if you want to come by after dark, your visit will still be completely illuminated. While your dogs zoom and play, feel free to relax in the hammock or get some work done at the picnic table. This backyard is the perfect place to spend an afternoon!

The Best Fully Fenced Yard in Central Austin

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

(Please note, the winter grass is beginning to die and the zoysia is perking up so the yard will be less green for a little while.) Yes, the grass really does look like the photos! I’m an engineer who’s borderline obsessive about my lawn, and I’ve put a ton of effort into creating the softest, most lush grass you can grow in Texas. It’s a seasonal blend of perennial ryegrass and Zeon Zoysia in the winter, transitioning to pure Zeon Zoysia in the summer, meaning it stays thick, green, and incredibly comfortable year-round. The yard is fully fenced, giving your dog plenty of room to run freely and safely. There’s ample space for fetch (balls provided), zoomies, or just stretching out in the sun. Massive oak trees provide beautiful shade throughout the day, so it stays cool even in the Texas heat. And honestly, this is the only Sniffspot in Austin that’s truly picnic-worthy. Bring a blanket, hang out, and enjoy the space with your dog.

Fully Fenced

Hi, welcome to my family’s fully-fenced, personal backyard in North Austin! Studies show that 10-20 minutes of sniffing is more stimulating than an hour of command training for dogs so thats why we are opening up our space to others. We have a calm resting spot for humans as well that’s shaded with provided bug spray and WiFi. Unfortunately, our home is currently not ADA accessible.

Fully Fenced

Come check out our backyard — a spacious, peaceful spot that’s perfect for your furry companion! 🐾 We have over an acre of lush green grass and plenty of shady trees, giving dogs lots of room to run, decompress, and explore at their own pace. The land is fully fenced with a privacy-style fence, offering visual separation and a sense of security that many reactive or easily overstimulated dogs benefit from. While there are neighbors nearby, there is no sidewalk running directly along the fence, and foot traffic is minimal. For visitors, we provide chairs for humans, and for dogs we offer kiddie pools, hoses, and sprinklers for extra fun and cooling off on warm days. Bug spray is available for your use. **grass burs are popular along left side of barn (if looking from house) Advise checking shoes and fur before leaving
