55Really cute and well maintained yard. Loved hanging out on the porch and watching my dog play.
55Our dogs had a fabulous time playing here! They especially loved the herding balls and the pool!
55Perfect fenced in yard. Not too big and not too small. There were lots of balls to play fetch with. A big bowl of water was provided. Very nice location.
55Marlene's Bark Playhouse is a great place to bring your dog! Decent sized yard, and the owners had toys and a dog pool available to use. I will be bringing my dog again in the near future!
55Another amazing time here, this is by far the only location that is 100% perfect! My boys loved the pool and Marlene left water out for the boys again which is so sweet
55My 4 boys absolutely loved this spot! Host was very nice leaving us water and poop bags. This is one of the cleanest spots we have been too and my Goldens loved all the balls in the yard! Very nice surrounding area with easy access in/out and parking!
55Thank you for always being kind and accommodating. Carlisle loves the doggy pool. Maui specifically loves the shade under the tree. Both of them have enjoyed the toys scattered around the yard. They have also tasted a couple tasty dog treats you leave out for guests. Thank you always!
55I would give a 6th star if I could! My two dogs loved the space. It’s not huge, but there are lots of things to sniff, tons of toys, and a nice wading pool. We have visited several times this month! A huge bonus for doggy parents is the porch , which is super comfortable.
55My apartment dog was very confused about what a yard was, but there was water for both of us, toys for him, and a safe space to run around.
55Another day of my dogs happy!

Peaceful Quarter-Acre Fully Fenced Yard in Ballston Spa

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to a quiet, private, fully fenced quarter-acre backyard in Ballston Spa. The yard offers open grassy space for running and fetch, mature trees for natural shade, and plenty of interesting areas for sniffing and exploring. There is no resident dog, and the space is reserved exclusively for each booking. It is especially well suited for dogs who are anxious, reactive, newly adopted, older, or simply more comfortable away from crowded public dog parks. Please park in front of my house rather than in front of neighboring homes. You are also welcome to park in the driveway, but please do not block the garage. You can enter the backyard through either of the two white gates in the fence. Either entrance is fine. Please make sure the gate is closed and latched securely behind you when you arrive, and again when you leave. We’re just getting started, and I’ll be making thoughtful improvements and adding amenities over the coming weeks, including comfortable seating, fresh drinking water, Wi-Fi and power access, and other small touches to make visits even more relaxing for dogs and their people. Check back as the space continues to evolve!
