Linda's 2 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Apex

Welcome to two full acres of fenced countryside in Apex — open pasture, short grass, and woods, all fully fenced with no gaps, and all yours for the whole visit. When you book this spot, you book it alone: no other guests, no strange dogs joining you — just your dogs and the run of the land. You may bring friends with their signed up dogs. Your host is a dog professional with 35 years of experience. I run K9 Custom Care, my showing, boarding and grooming business, right here on this property (since 2009) — so this space is set up the way dog people actually need it: pasture for the runners who need to open up, woods and shade for the sniffers, fresh water from the automatic dog water station, and a trash can at the gate for easy cleanup. It's an ideal hour for reactive dogs who need the world to themselves, big dogs who need room to truly stretch out, and multi-dog families. In the interest of honesty: this is a working dog property, so your dog may occasionally hear other dogs at a distance/inside — but no other dog will ever be in your space with you. A few simple requests: latch the gate behind you and check it twice, clean up after your dog, and keep barking to a reasonable level so the neighbors stay happy. I like to meet first-time guests — after that, come and go as you please within your booking time. Come let them run. — Linda

King of Cary

***Naturally treat our yard in the summer so that our guests can enjoy As a rescuer, I totally understand some dogs just can't do social (myself, most of the time too), so dog park is a No. SniffSpot is an option for those special pooches. Quiet private Oasis for guests, private 100% fenced yard, sloped grass yard with 3 patio area. A lot to sniff, a lot of stairs to work out those legs. Very clean yard since I pick up after my own dogs daily. You can sit and relax or enjoy your book or bring a date. Squirrels and birds will make your visit more exciting. We're only 3 mins from Fenton, 2 mins from Downtown Cary. Sometimes I provide water (If I'm home and only one booking) you can get water from garden hose just make sure to shut off the faucet, water rate in Cary is outrageous 😳 Please msg us if you don't see any availability 😀8

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors.

Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.
