Sam's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Durham

Fully Fenced
0.3 acres

Large backyard with a pool. Lots of areas to sniff around. Grass on one side and shady leafy area on the other. A doggy paradise. The pool and fire pit are available for use by adding it in extras. The pool is heated, typically until December and then I start again in March but feel free to ask. The fire pit is available if you bring your own wood. That is also available through extras.

Linda's 2 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Apex

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Welcome to two full acres of fenced countryside in Apex — open pasture, short grass, and woods, all fully fenced with no gaps, and all yours for the whole visit. When you book this spot, you book it alone: no other guests, no strange dogs joining you — just your dogs and the run of the land. You may bring friends with their signed up dogs. Your host is a dog professional with 35 years of experience. I run K9 Custom Care, my showing, boarding and grooming business, right here on this property (since 2009) — so this space is set up the way dog people actually need it: pasture for the runners who need to open up, woods and shade for the sniffers, fresh water from the automatic dog water station, and a trash can at the gate for easy cleanup. It's an ideal hour for reactive dogs who need the world to themselves, big dogs who need room to truly stretch out, and multi-dog families. In the interest of honesty: this is a working dog property, so your dog may occasionally hear other dogs at a distance/inside — but no other dog will ever be in your space with you. A few simple requests: latch the gate behind you and check it twice, clean up after your dog, and keep barking to a reasonable level so the neighbors stay happy. I like to meet first-time guests — after that, come and go as you please within your booking time. Come let them run. — Linda

Janet's Durham City Bark Park

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

Pinwheel Path

Fully Fenced
2.5 acres

Our 2.5 acre park is a tranquil path through the woods with multiple path options and limitless nature to behold, accompanied by a soundtrack of birds and insects. The ample trails that cover the park are easy to traverse, and your dogs will be delighted exploring the endless smells in between those paths to sniff…and pee on. If you love to hike with your dog but wish they could be off leash to investigate the wonders of the woods so you can marvel at the variety of ferns and fungi, this is the place to let your dog run free without worrying about them getting lost. The trails and fencing are a continual work in progress, maintained and built over a decade and then some. We ask our own dogs to help decide where any new paths should go, and if there are any gaps in the perimeter fencing, we hope you and your dogs will do the same. Please be mindful of roots and rocks along the paths, the trail is more natural in some places than others. Get your birding app ready, put your running shoes on, bring your camera and binoculars--there is more to this park than joyous zoomies for your dog! Trail Length: park perimeter is approx. .25 miles, all (3) loops are approx. .58 miles
