There is a large porch with a patio table and chairs if you want to bring something to eat or just sit. A porch swing is also available on the porch while you watch your pup play. The porch also has a rolling gate at the top of the stairs to allow the pups to or not to access the porch. A hammock is down in the yard if you would like to relax there as well. I do not require you pick up your dogs potty as I also have 3 doggos and theres plenty of yard it has never been an issue. No muzzle, leash, or such requirements as it will just be you and who you bring. All breeds and sizes welcome! All I ask is if you have trash please take it with you so my doggos dont access it. And always latch the gate securely when leaving. Beyond those rules, enjoy the yard with your furbaby(s)!💜🐕
