Description

🐾 Features • Fenced private yard — please note there are a couple of gaps in the older fencing. Cinder blocks are provided to help block these areas as needed, but please supervise small or escape-prone pups. • 🏊 Swimming pool — great for water-loving pups! Owner supervision required. • 🌳 Shady trees & covered patio with fan to keep everyone cool • 🪑 Chairs so you can relax while your pup plays • 🌴 Hammock for lounging while your pup explores • ✨ Nighttime twinkle lights for evening sessions • 🐕 Room for zoomies and sniffing adventures 💦 Pool Notes • Pool has steps and a shallow entry point, but is a standard human swimming pool with a deep end (not a splash pad) • 👀 Dogs must be supervised at all times around the water • 🌡️ Pool is not heated — water temperature varies naturally with the weather. 🎒 Amenities Provided • 💧 Fresh water bowl • 💩 Waste bags & disposal 📍 Location Conveniently located in Castlewood Forest with easy driveway and street parking. ✍️ Please Note Visits are limited to 2 humans per dog, as this is intended as a private dog-play space rather than a Swimply-style rental. If you need to bring additional people, just message me beforehand and I’ll let you know if I can accommodate. Thank you for understanding! 😇🐾

Fully fenced and Shady 1 acre Oasis in South Austin

Fully Fenced

1 acre

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

0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Yard with Pool in Kyle

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Welcome to our private, fully fenced ½-acre backyard in Kyle! There’s plenty of room for your dog to run, explore, play fetch, or simply enjoy some off-leash time in a quiet, private setting. Our backyard also has an in-ground swimming pool that dogs can enjoy with the pool add-on. Because the pool is located within the fenced yard and is not separately gated, please select the pool add-on if your dog will be swimming or entering the pool during your visit. The space is reserved for one booking at a time, so you and your dog can relax and enjoy the yard without encountering unfamiliar dogs. This can be especially nice for dogs who need a little extra space or aren’t comfortable at traditional dog parks. Please note: The swimming pool is for dogs only. Human swimming is not permitted. Guests are responsible for supervising their dogs at all times, especially around the pool. We hope you and your pup enjoy having a private place to run, play, sniff and cool off! 🐾
