Emily's Fully 5 foot Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Clayton
This is a tail-wagging wonderland a BIG, grassy playground area that’s 100% private and fully fenced (5-foot chain link plus a 6-foot privacy fence for extra peace of mind). It’s not my personal backyard, so your pup gets the true “private dog park” experience without ever needing to pass behind my home. Whether your dog lives for endless games of fetch, zoomie marathons, or just sniffing every blade of grass, they’ll have plenty of space to run, romp, and roll. Here’s what’s waiting for you: • 🪑 Picnic table & umbrella — for comfy human supervision (or snacks between fetch rounds). • 💦 Water fun! — A hose (year around) and a kiddie pool (summer months) for splashy play and cooling off. • 🥤 Large stainless steel water bowl — always clean and ready to fill. • 🎾 Outdoor toy box — stocked with toys, treats, and other goodies for pup-approved fun. • 💩 Poop bags — because being a good dog park citizen is easy here. • 💡 Evening playtime ready — spotlight in the yard plus a streetlight out front for safe after-dark visits. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, so you might spot neighbors strolling by with their own pups or kids while you play but your space stays private. If your four-legged best friend dreams of a safe, spacious, and playful getaway, you’ve just found it. 💚🐕 Come pawty with us at Emily’s Sniff Spot! 🐾🎉

Entire wooden privacy fenced, low grass backyard with a secure gate. Lots of room for fetch! Hose/spigot on back of house to fill the provided dog water bowl as needed.

Please contact the host before reserving if you have questions about pool usage. If you love this property and have family visiting from out of the area, it's also a short-term rental that sleeps 8 during non-Sniffspot times!

Huge fully fenced yard to explore!
We installed this fence for our reactive dog, and unexpectedly said goodbye to him last year. It's now the perfect place for you and your pup! There isn't much to it, which makes it a great spot for dogs. There are places to sniff and explore, and very quiet neighbors. You can park in the cul-de-sac and make your way to the back. Easy, large, private, and pretty hard to destroy.

Fully Fenced Half Acre in Garner!
Fully fence half acre lot in north Garner. A swing is suitable for people to sit on, or you're welcome to sit on the porch. A hose for water is always available, as well as a dog bowl, and a large 86" diameter, 1ft deep dog pool can be set up and filled with enough notice, as it takes quite a while to fill. We are on well water, so the water from the hose is safe and tasty for dogs and humans to drink! There's two humans, four dogs, and a cat on-site, though we generally will not meet guests unless you would like to. Poop bags and trash cans provided, as well as rubber Chuck-It balls and a ball throwing stick, a durable soft frisbee, a large herding ball, and a flirt pole! There is also a green sprinkler that can easily be attached to the hose; if requested I can set it up for you beforehand or you're welcome to attach it yourself!

King of Cary
***Naturally treat our yard in the summer so that our guests can enjoy As a rescuer, I totally understand some dogs just can't do social (myself, most of the time too), so dog park is a No. SniffSpot is an option for those special pooches. Quiet private Oasis for guests, private 100% fenced yard, sloped grass yard with 3 patio area. A lot to sniff, a lot of stairs to work out those legs. Very clean yard since I pick up after my own dogs daily. You can sit and relax or enjoy your book or bring a date. Squirrels and birds will make your visit more exciting. We're only 3 mins from Fenton, 2 mins from Downtown Cary. Sometimes I provide water (If I'm home and only one booking) you can get water from garden hose just make sure to shut off the faucet, water rate in Cary is outrageous 😳 Please msg us if you don't see any availability 😀8

FiFi's Dog Park • 2 Acre Fully Fenced • Private • In Lillington
Step into a spacious, playful retreat designed for pups of all personalities. Our 2-acre playground is perfect for sniffing, running, zoomies, and joyful exploration. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ‼️Updates as of Nov. 2025. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🐾 Smaller but just as fun! Our SniffSpot is now 2 acres instead of 3, as we’ve set aside space for some new community projects we’re really excited about. There’s still plenty of open room for zoomies, fetch, and off-leash fun! 🌲 Privacy updates for reactive pups We’ve planted 20 beautiful Green Giant trees (5 feet tall) to create future privacy. While they grow, your pup might still see people coming and going — but we’re working to make it cozier and calmer every season. 💧 Hydration & Essentials Everything You Need for a Paw-fect Visit: Fresh water, poop bags, and toys are provided so your furry friends can focus on fun, not fuss. *** Once you book, you and your dog(s) will be the only ones there during your time. The “spot” becomes unavailable for everyone when you reserve it. Only one person “rents” the space at a time! Sniffspot automatically builds in a 30 min buffer between sessions as well so there is no chance of overlap. ***
