HOST REPORTS

When you are in the driveway, the neighbors dog may bark if she hears you. Don’t worry, she will quiet down! Occasionally I will leave my back porch door open, as will my tenant, and on those occasions, one or more dogs may quietly be hanging outside napping on either porch. The porches are up high and there is no possibility of a "through the fence" interaction. My tenant's dog is the quietest animal I have ever met, but if you would prefer my dog is inside - just shoot me a message ahead of time and I will be sure my porch is closed up!

There is a very well secured chicken coop in the back of the yard, while they are unbothered, they can be a distraction for some dogs. For dogs who need to learn to focus when faced with something tempting or distracting, this is an excellent opportunity to practice redirection and recall!

Both myself and my tenant are quiet and keep to ourselves, the yard is also completely separate from the house and screened by mature grape vines. That said, it isn't impossible that someone may be coming or going during your arrival or departure times. While the yard is completely seperate from the house, it does border my driveway on one side, so sometimes myself or my tenant will need to quietly come or go while a guest is in the space.

Description

This is a private, fully fenced in backyard in the heart of Burlington’s South End. Walkable to downtown and the South end arts district, this little piece of Sanctuary is a fantastic private spot to let your pup sniff and run while you kick back on an Adirondack chair or lounger and enjoy the sunshine (or a rest in the shade!), check out the flower gardens, or have a nap in the hammock. There is a hose in the back, hooked up and running, and digging is permitted next to the hammock as well as in various spots around the yard. Basically, If theres no grass, then digging is fine, though I do request that you try to replace any dirt that gets moved around if it's not in a pre-established space. Poop bags are in a dispenser attached to the fence post on your left when you walk through the gate, as well as on two additional fence posts towards the back of the yard. Please be sure to pick up after your pet! I do my best to sweep the yard a few times a day, but sh*t happens! So, if you come across a stray nugget, please consider picking it up and paying it forward. : ) In the giant blue "Bark Box" next to the entry gate you will find all kinds of treasure including the following! - Dog first aid kit with styptic pads - Complimentary treats - Extra poop bags, and extra garbage bags for the poop bin. - Complimentary all natural bug spray for both you and your pet (human spray is sometimes on the glass table under the orange tent). - Complimentary toys (Usually they are in a bin under the orange tent so they aren't confused with the fresh, "take home" supply.) - Dog toys for take home play including brand new tennis balls, rope toys, squeaky toys, frisbees, and stuffies. If you get here and realize you would like to purchase a take home toy please feel free to venmo me @theparr (last four digits of my phone are #0908). Other Bark Park Amenities Include.... - Well lit at night by motion activated solar flood lights! These are mounted throughout the yard and will activate automatically when they sense movement and stay on for 30 seconds at a time, or for the duration of the movement. To save power, they switch off if they do not sense movement. - Designated trash can next to the Big Blue Bark Box by the gate so you dont have to walk to the big bin in the driveway. - A long handled pooper scooper! (If you choose to use the scooper, please still bag your pet's poop before putting it in the bin!) There are chickens in the pen in the back of the yard who are used to dogs, so no worries if your pup can’t keep their eyes off the ladies, or end up rushing or barking at their pen. They are used to dogs and people, and chicken theater is a fantastic way to pass the time! I would love to add pictures of your doggos enjoying the yard, so if you snap a keeper please send it my way, or post it on your review. Feel free to message me with any questions you might have, or any extras you might like added, and I hope you enjoy your time! Thank you!

Extras

Doggo’s Choice!!5 credits

Let your pup pick one of the toys from the toy bin inside the deck box, and bring it home as a souvenir! There are toys accessible for shared use, but if your furry friend finds something extra special, it can go home with them! If you forget to purchase one of these ahead of time, please feel free to Venmo me @theparr (last four digits #0908). There are tennis balls, frisbee discs, rope toys, tug toys, squeaky animals, and stuffies.

Fire it up!15 credits

This extra will have you sitting by a premade fire, kicking back and relaxing while your dog sniffs all of the things. I will get it going for you before you arrive and you can enjoy it at your leisure!

The Human Chicken Experience5 credits

Want to go in the coop and pet the chickens? Totally doable! The red one is Clementine and she likes to be picked up and held, and the floofy white one is Sunshine and she also loves a good cuddle! The rest of them are sweethearts and will come to you if you offer them scratch grains, and will eat right out of your hand. If you choose this extra, I will be sure to set out a bag of scratch before you arrive so you can win over their little hearts and touch their weird dinosaur feet.

~Social Hour~20 credits

If you want to bring a few friends and hang out in back while the dogs play, that is always an option! That said, for bookings two hours+ with additional guests (beyond 2 per dog) there will be a surcharge of $20. If you choose to BYOB or pack a picnic lunch, please be sure to clean up after yourselves using the trash and recycling cans located in the driveway. The Bark Park is a beautiful spot for hanging out and enjoying some private time outside in the heart of our lovely little city!
