Description

Playful Pups Retreat – Hershey Road Dog Splashpad A private, dog-only water play experience designed for safe, enriching fun. Treat your dog to a one-of-a-kind Splashpad experience at Playful Pups Retreat. This clean, professionally maintained space is designed specifically for dogs to enjoy safe water play, cooling off, and enrichment in a private setting. Guests also have access to a large grass yard for additional running and exploration. The Splashpad Sniffspot yard at our Hershey Road location is available on Saturdays and Sundays only, offering a quiet, self-service environment while our facility is closed. Please note that this is a dog-only Splashpad. For safety reasons, children are not permitted to run or play on the Splashpad. While most visits are quiet and private, we do offer dog training classes onsite on some weekends. Guests may see people or dogs arriving, though they use a separate entrance. This is important to consider for dogs who may be reactive. This is a self-service experience, as staff are not typically onsite during weekend rentals. Clear operating instructions are provided to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. We take great pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed environment and appreciate your partnership in caring for the space during your visit. SEE ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SPLASHPAD OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND HOSE USE FOR FILLING SPLASH POOLS. This space is a great fit for: Dogs who enjoy water play and enrichment Dogs who benefit from private, off-leash environments Pet parents looking for a clean, structured setting This space may not be the best fit for: Dogs highly reactive to seeing people or dogs at a distance Families expecting a playground-style environment for children Guests who prefer staff-assisted experiences

Hazards

HOST NOTE

The main gate that enters the yard that leads to the splashpad has a gap underneath it that a small dog could fit under! PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS IF YOU HAVE A SMALL DOG.

Hi dog lover! My name is Laurie Yost and I own Playful Pups Retreat. We have two locations in Elizabthtown and are always looking for new ways to serve our clients and the dog lovers in our community. Our overnight boarding facility, located at 850 Milton Grove Rd, Elizabethtown, is situated in 19 beautiful acres. We have a large play yard at the one end of our property that is fully fenced with a wooden 6ft privacy fence that we are happy to now rent out to dog lovers who need a safe and secure area for their dog(s) to run, play and train.

Does your dog have the zoomies? Bring him to my place and let your fur baby run around and get the zoomies out. I have 3 pasture sections that they can use to run and run and run and run and run! I am about 1.5 miles from route 283 so if you are traveling and need a sniff spot, I am right here!

Playful Pups Retreat SniffSpot Play Yard

Our SniffSpot Play Yard is fully fenced in with a 6ft tall wooden privacy fence. We have 19 wooded acres with our boarding facility being located at the South end of our property, the owners personal residence in the middle and our private SniffSpot play yard at the North end of our property. We do have a nice walking trail that meanders through our property but please be aware that our Playful Pups Retreat Staff may be walking overnight boarding dogs on the trail during our business hours. There is a container with a few toys to play with inside the SniffSpot yard but we do suggest bringing your own toys. Please bring poop bags and clean up after your pet. Please take bags of poop with you or stop at Playful Pups and dispose of it in one of our outdoor trash receptacles. FOR NOISE SENSITIVE DOGS! PLEASE BE AWARE WE DO HAVE A GUN CLUB NOT FAR FROM THIS PLAY YARD. DEPENDING ON THE DAY THERE MAY BE GUNFIRE.

Oakley, our huge and dog-friendly Great Pyrenees, rules the roost here! We have a full fenced large second backyard ready for dog paws to rip around in. There are trees that offer shade and homes for birds and squirrels. Our chickens are free range but can be put inside their coop and our 4 cats are agile at escaping the chase of their fur covered foes. We look forward to meeting you and your fanimals on our conveniently located daytime doggie home away from home!

I live on a farm tucked back from the road. I have a shaded back yard of about 1.5 acres that’s fenced in. I provide baggies to clean up poopy and a chair to sit in. It’s not the best looking place but it’s definitely a nice place to bring your pup and just let loose!

Carleigh's Fully Fenced Yard in Linglestown!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to our spacious, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff, and explore! There’s plenty of room for your pup to stretch their legs, and since our own dogs live here, the yard is full of exciting scents to keep them happily engaged. You may spot some neighborhood wildlife like bunnies, squirrels, and birds passing through, which can add a little extra enrichment for curious pups. No need to worry about keeping dogs out of garden areas—the space is designed to be dog-friendly and stress-free. Our neighbors do have dogs who may occasionally be outside, but not consistently. Rest assured, our dogs will be kept indoors during your visit so your pup can enjoy the space. Feel free to relax in the screened-in porch while your dog plays. We provide thoughtful extras like towels for muddy paws, bug spray, and sunscreen for your comfort. There will also be fresh water and treats available for your furry friend! We know how hard it can be when dogs don’t have a yard to enjoy, so we’re excited to share ours with you. We hope you and your pup have a wonderful time!

Heather's Zoomie Heaven!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Lovely, fully fenced yard secured by a gate (which also has mesh wire). The fence has recently been repaired to address any gaps at the bottom of the fence, but as with any spot, owners must watch their dogs at all times. The height of the fence (4-5 ft depending on slope) is suitable for most small and medium dogs and even large dogs who aren't jumpers. If your dog is a jumper or an escape artist, you may need a place with a higher fence. Owners are responsible for picking up after their dog with provided bucket and scoop. We scoop daily or more and endeavor to keep the spot poop free for your visit, however, understand that we do allow last minute bookings and that it is possible that if you book with very little time before the reservation begins, we may not be able to get out to the yard to check for any feces before you arrive. No other dogs will be present in yard while yard is rented, however, the neighbors do have 2 dogs that are outside occasionally but not often.
