HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

I will generally take my dogs out for an adventure or gate them away from the windows during your sniffspot. **if you book same day** while i'm at work, this might not be possible so my dogs might bark a hello! regardless, they are secure inside. you may be able to hear other dogs barking in the neighborhood; at this time, none of my immediate neighbors have dogs. please let me know if you'd like to set up a playdate with them, as they (and i) are other-dog and other-hooman friendly :)

Description

Great spot with room to run, toys, some agility equipment, and seasonal plastic fur kid pool! Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Added FYIs: - Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. 🗑️💩 - Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. 🌱🪏 - If you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." IF something goes over the fence, do please just let us know (we will contact the neighbor)--**do not** physically step over the fence (it causes fence damage) 🏡 🤳🏻 - "Same day" bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. - *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might NOT be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are! 💩 ❄️ 🐶 🍨🍦 limited daylight and full time hospital work hours (I go to work and come home in the dark)
