55It’s on a hill so if you have mobility issues it might be difficult to navigate but my dog loved running up and down it.
55Great shady spot!
55Very nice shaded area and host provided water my pups enjoyed it!
45This spot seemed well maintained as there was no dog poop around and the fence was in good condition - Olive fits through everything and I felt secure with her there. The terrain was difficult for her to navigate with the hill and the debris on the ground, which is not unexpected for it being a wooded yard. It was GREAT for sniffy enrichment and for experiencing a new terrain and area! I think Olive would have had much more fun if we’d brought a friend and went when it wasn’t so humid! Either way, we super appreciate the availability to go to a private place to try and have some fun!
55Sarah’s yard was a blast! We brought our three Bostons there and they went nuts! We will be back!
55Had a great time. It was much too hot to run, so the visit was more about sniffing than playing. Wear good shoes as the yard is a hill. Normal debris on the ground for a wooded spot. You will need bug spray, with the rain and heat the mosquitos will carry you away.
55This is a really lovely spot! Lots of places for my pup to sniff and check out and the fence was secure.
55This was a great little space! There were lots of places and things for my dog to sniff! I also felt very safe in this location if you’re going there alone! Thanks for a great place to take my dog! ❤️
55Beautiful, wooded backyard with tons of interesting things for my pup to explore. Sarah had furniture available to us and water for our dog! She was super responsive to my messages and answered all of my questions quickly! Will definitely be back very soon.
55Very nice spot - securely fenced & our dog loved it

Hi! I love animals, and would be honored to host your special pets! I've been pet sitting for over 10 years and house sitting for about as long. I grew up in a family full of pets, so for as long as I can remember, I've been taking care of them — either my own or for other people.
