55It was my first time ever coming to a sniff spot and i have to say my experience was great at Kimbers! my bestie and i both brought our big dogs and they had a blast! the weather was great and her spot has a lot of shade as well as a sunny area!! she provided water, bags and lots of toys my besties dog had to play with! my dog on the other hand has a thing for rocks and found a rock to hold immediately for the whole time! he particularly liked the rocky roundabout & just kept doing laps wagging his tail the whole time! Kimber is also very communicative and very kind which i appreciate very much!! such a cute little spot & cant wait to come back!
55Kimber had her backyard set up so nicely for us! Fan going, citronella candle lit, ice water for our dog to drink. Grass and gravel and mulch for our dog to explore. Such a lovely space!
55The dogs had a great time. They enjoyed exploring the different textures and parts of the yard as well as the puppy pools. The owner of the space was very communicative. Great experience overall!
55Our pup enjoyed Kimber’s place so much! There’s a lot of space and different kinds of things to sniff, and he particularly enjoyed jumping on all the big rocks that are placed around. Kimber was very communicative and accommodating. We’ll definitely be back!
55We had such an incredible experience at Kimber’s fenced in backyard oasis! This expansive property was unbelievably landscaped, in the beautiful Barton Hills area. I was genuinely blown away by how much fun our visit was! There was plenty of open space for my two high energy pups to run free to their heart’s content. We felt very safe and at peace here, without any outside distractions during our stay. There was tons of interesting and varying terrain for my dogs to excitedly smell and explore as well. We immediately felt at home, due to the charming tranquil set up for our visit when we arrived. This yard is truly a rare gem to find in a location this central and close to our home. We cannot wait to book with Kimber again extremely soon! Her communication and responsiveness was top notch, and she also stocked the patio area with plenty of awesome toys that your fur babies will have a blast playing with! I sincerely appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that enhanced our time here, and sincerely look forward to another wonderful stay in the future. My pups were absolutely ecstatic for such an amazing opportunity to have a fantastic adventure together, and were beyond happily exhausted when we left. We are so grateful that you hosted us today Kimber, thank you again :)
55Great spot with lots to explore!
55The pups loved this space and the dozens of new toys to play with! Thanks so much!
55Kimber pulled out all the stops by providing a huge bucket of toys, a pool, bug spray and poop bags. Such a beautiful backyard!
55Wonderful visit! Lots to sniff for Ghost. Hosts were wonderful and provided water, poop bags, dog toys, pools, bug spray, and a fan. While there is a dog on the other side of the fence, we felt comfortable with the set up (Ghost is working on his reactivity). Thank you!
55I enjoyed my time with my dog at this location. It was quiet, secluded and fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Thank you for hosting me and my dog.

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

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!

Percy's Playground In Austin

Fully Fenced

Residential back lawn with plenty of things to sniff, a garden for humans to admire, as well as a patio for humans and dogs to lounge on, and lots of room to run jump and play! Residents may be at home but will offer tenants their full privacy- and other pets will be kept out of yard and out of visibility during their time in the playground. Water bowl on patio is available and if needs to be filled up, there is a water hose close to the entrance of the playground. Feel free to fill it up and remember to turn off the water hose when done. Bugs are kind of wild this time of year, so I recommend bringing bug spray to better enjoy the space. You will also find mosquito incense sticks on the potting bench that you are welcome to burn during your visit. We truly love our furry friends and welcome them into our space!
