Location

Description

Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. Sometime late summer I'll be adding a cement walkway and patio by the hose, so there may be some associated blocked days. Added FYI: if you book 24+ hours in advance I can do extra poo checks in the yard. Same day bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. *Winter I pick up weekly, so might not be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are!*

    My pup had so much fun!! The backyard was very clean and there were lots of toys and fun things for my pup to play with!

  • Christine R., Oct 10, 2022

    We had fun playing in this spacious backyard. The fence was secure, there were toys, and trees for shade on a summer day. We will reserve another playtime soon.

  • Tracy T., Oct 9, 2022

    Laura is a wonderful host and her dogs are lovely! My girl had a very nice time playing with the toys there and sniffing around. We'll definitely plan on returning.

    Host replied: Aww thanks Tracy, it was so nice to meet you and your pup!

  • Casalena B., Sep 24, 2022

    When leaving, Mo told me that I am not her real mom anyways and that she wants to live with Laura and stay in the yard forever. Needless to say, we’ll be back.

    Host replied: Aww thanks for booking, Mo! Laura says she can only have as many dogs as she has arms so no one gets left out getting petted, but you can visit any time 💕

  • Noa L., Sep 20, 2022

    It was so wonderful! The pool was perfect for the hot day, the fencing was incredibly secure, and a water bowl + water was waiting for us with toys! Super Reactive dog friendly Pro tip - bring ice with you to make an icy cold pool for your pup to cool off in

    Host replied: Oooh what a "cool" idea with the ice! Coming soon, I'll be pouring concrete patio for the kiddie pool :) 🐾 my first dog was reactive so I know the value of having a safe place to hang out 💕

  • Heather C., Sep 14, 2022

    So clean and friendly. Lots for my dogs to do. Appreciate the water and toys for my boys!

  • Delia K., Sep 10, 2022

    The cutest back yard ever! There was fun agility equipment, a little pool, and so many toys to choose from. There were sign everywhere explaining what everything was and even a cute picture place! My pup had a great time running around and even found a new favorite toy (one of the cool discs) that I’ll have to buy her!

  • Emily P., Sep 10, 2022

    This backyard was amazing! There are several amenities for dogs to play and relax in the shade with plenty of space to run.

  • Tim H., Sep 5, 2022

    Love this yard. Lots of space for dogs to run and sniff. Perfect shady spot for the humans to sit comfortably.

  • Jill B., Sep 1, 2022

    So many fun things to do in this yard!

Meet your host

Laura and her two pups reside in Bloomington and are happy to offer their space for your use!
