Homestead on Marshall 0.75 acre Private Dog Retreat

Fully Fenced
0.75 acres

Welcome to your dog’s new favorite getaway! We are located in a quiet neighborhood cul de sac right on the Monroe/Indian Trail line. Our spot offers over half an acre of flat, open grass—perfect for high-energy breeds that need room to sprint, fetch, or just sniff in peace. You’ll love it here because of the massive open lawn which provides plenty of "zoomie" space for long-distance fetch or frisbee. It’s fully fenced & secure providing a safe environment for reactive dogs or those who lack a reliable recall. We also provide seating where you can relax on our patio while your dog explores, feel free to open the sun-shade! While we are conveniently located close to 74 highway for easy access, we are also tucked away from heavy traffic, giving you a calm bonding experience with your pet. Our driveway is extra wide and provides convenient parking and a clear entry gate make getting in and out a breeze. Whether you have a high-drive athlete who needs to burn off steam or a shy pup who just wants a peaceful stroll without the stress of a public park, our yard is the perfect sanctuary. We look forward to hosting you!

Large Private Fully-Fenced Yard – Shaded, Skyline Views (Oakhurst/Cotswold)

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Large private backyard in 28205 — a spacious in-city yard with mature oak trees providing shade across nearly half the property and open skyline views of downtown Charlotte. With no homes behind the property and one neighboring house currently unoccupied, the yard feels surprisingly open and private despite being close to the city. Ideal for: • Dogs that need room to sprint • Owners looking for private off-leash space • Apartment or small-yard dogs needing extra room Features: • 6’ privacy fencing around the majority of the yard • 4’ fence section along the driveway (not recommended for known escape artists or high jumpers) • Flat, well-maintained grass • Large shaded areas from mature oak trees • No rear neighbors + skyline view • Simple, low-touch access Please Note: • Property is located near an active rail line. Trains pass intermittently every few hours and the whistle can be loud. Most dogs are unbothered, but noise-sensitive dogs may want to consider before booking. • Property includes a rope swing. Use at your own risk. • Dogs must be supervised at all times and waste must be removed. • Please ensure the gate is securely closed when entering and exiting. Spacious. Private. In the city.

Fully Fenced Shaded Yard | Private Space for Off-Leash Play

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Fully fenced, private backyard (about 0.25 acre) with lots of shade for off-leash time. Great for dogs who need space away from busy parks, crowds, or overstimulation. Ideal for sniffing, exploring, playing, or relaxed training sessions. ‼️ ‼️ Important to note: there is a neighboring dog behind the back fence that may be outside at times and can occasionally be seen or heard. My dog loves running the fence line with my neighbors dog. It is double fenced (I have a fence and my neighbor has a fence so the dogs can’t touch each other) There’s a seating area with table, chairs, and umbrella so you can relax while your dog enjoys the yard. ✔ Fully fenced yard ✔ Tons of shade throughout the day ✔ Quiet, low-traffic area ✔ Seating with umbrella ✔ Poop bags provided ✔ Power outlet access ✔ Water bowl provided + hose access ‼️ ‼️ Important to note: there is a neighboring dog behind the back fence that may be outside at times and can occasionally be seen or heard.

Where Dogs can be Dogs

Fully Fenced
4 acres

Facebook video for property description! https://www.facebook.com/reel/857593750109937 This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! In the summer, though, the creek dries up until the fall rains come. You can always message us to find out if there is water in the creek before your visit. There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂
