One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

Private Dog Park In Northgate Park

First timers: use discount code PupLove14 for $2 off! Welcome to my private dog park! It’s a great space for pups to explore and relax without worrying about other dogs or animals.

There is also a hose for filling water bowls and toys in the yard or shed. There are no resident dogs, only curious (indoor only) kitties who may peep at you. Sometimes we dog sit, but we will be extremely conscientious to not allow the dogs near each other. Let me know if you have questions 😊
