55It was great!
55Jessica was very friendly and welcoming to both my dog and to me! She brought out a fresh bowl of water and had a wading pool that was also freshly filled for Cruise! He LOVED this because it was a very hot day so between playing fetch and jumping in the pool we had a blast! Thank you again, Jessica!
55Was great, thank you!
55Love this yard so much!
55This is definitely a great spot! Host is very friendly and helpful.
55We had our dogs 5th birthday party in Jessica's yard. She was extremely accommodating, an excellent communicator, and very friendly. Because we had many children attending the pup party, she offered a container of fidgets and other little toys, that our kids did play with. Thank you for that! She had a little set up with a garbage can, water bottles, sparkling water and doggie clean up bags. The table and chairs were comfortable for our guests. The yard is very spacious, so there was space for (3) dogs to run around and for the adults and kids to play volleyball, while some of the other adults sat and visited. We appreciate the warm hospitality and will look forward to booking again! Thank you!!!
55It is a nice, big yard with many places to sniff. The owners were thoughtful and checked in with us. We will definitely visit again!
55Henry loved the bark! Very spacious and he also loved the kiddie pool.
55Goldie and I had such a fun time just hanging out. She had so so much to sniff!! Jessica was so welcoming.
55Willow had a great time running around and exploring at Brown’s Bark Park! Lots of sights and sounds to explore here and nice amenities. Hopefully next time she’ll take advantage of them like explore the wading pool a little more and play with some of the toys. The dogs next door were out in their yard and Willow had a through the fence meet and greet without issue. It was a great experience and she is exhausted!

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Lombard

We live on a corner lot. There is a high, spaced fence along the public sidewalk. There is a kiddie pool (during summer), a rain garden (not really for the dogs, but in case you're worried about water it can temporarily fill up during and after heavy rainfall), and some agility equipment (four jumps and six weave poles) upon request. Easiest access to the yard is to park on E Taylor and enter through the north gate. Please open the gate with the inside latch (about chest height); please do not open the gate with the in-ground bolt. There is a tall, silver trash can on the patio for any human trash. There is a short, silver trash can near the north gate entrance for Dog Bags. Please enjoy a patio chair, dog toys, sunscreen, bug spray, and hammock (weather permitting). Backyard is East Facing so gets lots of morning sun. There is a sun shade over part of the patio but the patio area is 100% shaded by 3:30-4p, the yard is ~50% shaded by 6p, ~100% shaded by 7p.

The Red Door Salt Creek Sanctuary - Fully Fenced 1/2 Acre

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Fall/Winter update: the yard is DARK after 5pm. Hose is off for winterization, so please bring water. Our 1/2 acre fully fenced dog-friendly yard is here to host your special furry friends. We live a short, straight-shot drive from Chicago and are butt-up against the beautiful Salt Creek (and all the wild life that also calls the creek "home" - bunnies, squirrels, groundhogs, birds, garden snakes (harmless, but present in May), etc.). The head of Salt Creek Trail is located just a block away on Thomas Street, so feel free to explore the creek/trail after your yard time. It leads all the way to Villa Park, where you can catch the Prairie Path / Great Western Trail. You'll pass by MORE Brewing Company as well as outdoor bar and food trucks Fuel and Creme (ice cream). Make a day of it! Please note that even though the yard IS fully fenced, it is comprised of a variety of sizes shapes ranging from 6 feet privacy, raw iron, to 4 foot chain-link, barn wood with chicken wire between the wood gaps. You know your dog's "flight risk" better than anyone, so please make smart decisions when booking our yard. Dispose of poop bags in the BLUE TOP bin (green is recycle). Finally, note that we can only host 2 dogs at a time due to wear and tear on the yard. Have fun!

BarkPark

Fully Fenced

Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Check out our Instagram account for daily pictures showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
