55Great spot for the pups to run around!
55Great
55Very quiet and secluded location with a great fenced in yard with seating,trash can,and doggy bags. Very clean. Our puppy had her best day ever there. She didn't want to leave and we had to pick her up to remove her! Highly recommend,and we'll be back
35Love this location! I’m giving it three stars because every time I’ve gone there, it takes 3-5 minutes to lock the door. As someone with a dog that’s a flight risk, the most important thing for me is to ensure my dog can’t get out.
55The dogs had such a great time playing before it got too hot out. We love coming here. It’s always clean & well maintained. It’s nice and peaceful.
55Dogs had a great time! Lots of room to get out zoomies.
55I love this spot. It is clean, safe with high fence, plenty of room for the dogs to run and great toys for the dogs to play with.
55Our dogs had a great time. The area was well maintained. The fence is 6’ so we didn’t have any worries of them jumping over it. They ran, smelled around and played fetch. We appreciate that there are chairs, even if we didn’t get to use them. It was great playing with the dogs off their leashes.
55We love coming back to the Playful Pups SniffSpot. Tulip and Marigold enjoy taking in the new scents, climbing the boulder, and walking the yard. I love that we can book it last-minute (we live close by) if we want to, as it provides a safe space to get the dogs out of their environment and onto something new. Ours are basset hounds, who thrive on sniffing. It's fun to bring items for the dogs to search for in a new space, too. New space = better hiding spots! We trust Playful Pups with their care on daycare days and love that they have a secure Sniffspot we can visit too. THANK YOU again!
55This is our favorite spot! It’s always clean and stocked with necessities like bags and communal toys. The space is large and the fence is very sturdy for our wily husky to sprint around in. It would be selfish not to share this gem!

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.

Message me for pricing. **You must clean up after your dog!! I cannot scour 2 acres in between visits to ensure nothing was left behind. This property is 6.5 acres with a 2 acre fenced in yard. 5 minutes off Pennsylvania turnpike and interstate 83. Quiet setting back off a dead end road. A 4 acre meadow is in back if you’d like to use it but it is outside the fence. Nothing but woods beyond that field. Toys & water if I’m home. Or join our membership for even more peRks!You are welcome to sit by the fire ring or on the shaded swing while your pups run. Please keep dogs off the porches. My dogs see them and go crazy.
