β€œMy dog will be kept inside away from the porch windows as much as possible, but she may be vocal if we are not home. The backyard neighbor dogs are sometimes out in their yard, and they like to run the fence-line. All neighbor dogs are separated by separate fences with at least 2 feet between them, unless a dog gets outside of the fence, there is no risk of contact.”

Location

Description

Private fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood. Large backyard space on ~2/3 of an acre in South Durham. The front part of the yard is open with room to run, and the back half is wooded with a cleared pathway to sniff and explore. Things to be aware of: 1. We have many pine trees, especially in the wooded section of the yard. You will encounter lots of pinecones/dropped sticks especially in the fall. 2. We have a compost pile that is surrounded by shorter fencing to deter any curious pups. 3. As we continue to work on the trail and underbrush in the wooded section of the yard, you may encounter poison ivy. 4. Mosquitoes: In the warmer months bug spray is a must, and sleeves/pants can be helpful.

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.

Pre-made ATV trails, creeks, wetlands and a small river await exploring by you and your pup(s) while immersed in solitude and nature. We welcome you to our little peace of heaven backing up to the national watershed reserves and game-land. We offer parking on the side of our yard away from the house where you'll have access to 4+ acres of woods within our property, and trail entrances to the public water-shed/game-lands. ******We only open our Sniffspot during non-hunting seasons for safety purposes. ****** Our family has been hiking these same trails for 10+ years, and over 100's of times with our pups. We have been blessed with its wonderous beauty and the pure exhilaration our furry babies get being out there, doing what they love. We are happy to share our little peace of heaven with all the pups and kahu of the world who treasure the joy of running free in the forest.

Rene's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Raleigh

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Our home is situated on a very private and beautiful (0.7 acre) lot which is largely surrounded by woods. The fully fenced backyard (0.3 acre) has plenty of room to run and also some interesting areas to sniff and explore. My family moved to Raleigh in 2022 and our first priority was to install a backyard fence for our 2 dogs (Ginger, staffordshire terrier and Cici, pit/lab mix). Sadly, in 2025 both senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Lately our big empty backyard has been a painful reminder of that loss, so it truly brings me joy to have the privilege to open our space for other dogs. They deserve it!

First timers: use discount code PupLove14 for $2 off! Welcome to my private dog park! It’s a great space for pups to explore and relax without worrying about other dogs or animals. I have a 9 foot privacy fence surrounding most of the yard, which can be latched but is never locked. I have grassy, gravelly, and mulchy areas for the pups and a seating area for the humans. There is also a hose for filling water bowls and toys in the yard or shed. There are no resident dogs, only curious (indoor only) kitties who may peep at you. Sometimes we dog sit, but we will be extremely conscientious to not allow the dogs near each other. Let me know if you have questions 😊
