Our small older dog is kept inside and away from yard viewing. You still might hear her sometimes. Also, there are neighboring dogs on 3 sides that bark sometimes, especially if outside and our yard has interesting visitors. Enjoy the yard!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

Our yard is a lovely enclosed oasis from the hubbub of life and traffic. North of us thru the alley is Kamen Park and south of us is a busy corner gas station. Neighbors walk dogs and others take shortcuts thru our alley. Dogs might react to outside the yard activity: School children foot traffic heightens between 3-3:30 pm on Oakton Street (3 schools nearby) and due to proximity to nearby St Francis hospital sirens may occur randomly. Enjoy the yard!

Location

Evanston, Illinois

Description

Come thru the alley and park near entrance gate with signage. You and your pups will have full access of our inviting yard from walking trails around the perimeter to open space for frolicking, sniffing, and exploring the changes of the growing seasons! The only area off limits is the top porch (a gate is coming). We appreciate your prompt removal of any dog elimination (place bag in the black garbage can in the alley). We appreciate any feedback to make your engagement in our yard safe and fun. Enjoy our beautiful yard!

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are some “obstacles” like a raised deck, fire pit area, and outdoor furniture. Depending on the season a hammock and outside furniture overlooks fruit, flowers, and veggies in various cycles of growth. We leave the pollinator friendly yard free of chemicals and nurture native garden areas which invite occupied bird houses and their visits along with bees and butterflies. We have multiple enclosed garden beds, platform garden beds, trellis forms, arbors, and protective metal enclosures around some vegetation. Ongoing garden projects reflect their various stages in different seasons. No matter the season we maintain the open spaces along with canine and people “trails” and pathways that run the fence and behind bushes for routine and novelty. Enjoy the yard!

Riverview yard in Albany Park

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Large yard right on the river. No access to the river (yard is fully fenced), but human views of the water, ducks, other birds, and wildflowers on the bank. Pesticide and herbicide free lawn but various flowers, shrubs (and weeds) on the edges. Plenty of birds, bunnies, squirrels, etc. more than your average Chicago yard. End of dead end with pretty good privacy. Chain link fence on most and iron fence at front. Not ideal for small dogs or escape artists that can squeeze under or through fence. See photos for details of fence and if your dog would try to squeeze through. There are 3 big dogs at the house across the alley, but they are also well fenced. They are out on occasion, but usually not for long and I can’t guarantee their schedule. The view is mostly blocked by garbage cans and bushes, but not completely, so this may not be the place if your pup is super reactive. There are 2 Adirondack chairs, feel free to move them around into sun or shade or lay out a blanket or whatever you need to be comfortable. There is stainless steel water bowl and some toys. Feel free to use the hose by the stairs to fill up the water bowl, hose the dogs off or whatever. You can pull it out into the middle of the yard, just put your foot on top of the reel to get better leverage and please reel back in and turn off after use. NOTE: if you are fostering a dog for a local shelter, please send me a message for a discount code! I’d love to help a pup decompress (and get some great photos!) on the way to a forever home!

Enjoyed by our dogs for 15 years, our yard is a good size for zoomies, grass naps, and squirrel & bird watching. We have a table with comfy chairs and a kiddie pool. A crate of our guardian angel’s toys await your pooch. The neighbors on each side are dog free. You can spend time without a barking contest ensuing.

Hi, my name is Bob and I grew up here with many different dogs over the years. They all loved to run, play and explore the yard as much as I did. I decided to name my spot for my mother, who always brought me to all the pet shops around and the reason for my love of animals. I sincerely hope that you and your dogs will also have as much fun running, playing and exploring the yard as we did!

Fully Fenced

We’re excited to introduce a brand new private dog play experience brought to you by the team behind PupStars Pet Care & The K9 Corridor! This SniffSpot features a massive swimming pool perfect for dock diving, water play, and cooling off during hot Chicago days. While this is not The K9 Corridor’s full facility, it’s an exclusive extension of our commitment to dog enrichment, safe fun, & structured playtime. You can think of it as a mini oasis developed by the same folks you know & trust – PupStars & TKC. Come splash, sniff, & explore – just don’t expect a full-service campus (yet!).

Fully Fenced

Our yard is a longer more narrow yard which allows the dogs a little more distance for their runs. There is landscape bordering the fence and a garden in the front of the yard next to a yoga studio. There are areas to explore and areas for both dog and owner to relax, and a secure dog run that can be used for training. There is some agility equipment, a small plastic pool, as well as a sandbox and a deck with a roof in the dog run to help keep the dogs cool on a hot day. Water(hose), dog bowl(s), toys and towel(s) to dry the dogs off will be provided.

The Packground: Palatine Private Pup Yard

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Welcome to The Packground: a private, low-pressure yard in Palatine built for dogs who need room to sniff, stretch, play, and decompress without the chaos of a public dog park. This spot is best for solo dogs, small packs, puppies, nervous dogs, city/suburban dogs who need a reset, and owners who want a calmer off-leash option. Book the space for fetch, training practice, decompression time, puppy confidence-building, or a quiet sniff session. The yard is private during your booking. Please leash dogs when entering and exiting, clean up after your visit, and leave the space as you found it. Water, seating, trash access, and basic dog-friendly setup are available where noted in the listing. This is the first version of The Packground, so feedback is welcome as we keep improving the space for repeat guests.
