55Great spot to take your dog for a dip! Came with a bunch of toys and goodies!! So sweet!
55We had a blast at Beth’s place. Great pool and clean yard. Very spacious for our dogs to play beside the pool. I would highly recommend !!
55Great size fenced in yard, above ground pool with steps for access, and everything you need to have a good time with your pup. Beth was accommodating and helpful.
55Great place for my dog. Betty really enjoyed running around and lying in the shade with the toys. She was soooo relaxed and happy. I can’t wait to bring her out again.
55It was lovely! There was everything we needed and Beth was so kind! Our pup loved it! He was unsure of the pool but the life jacket and floatie helped!! He is so tired now :)
55First time! We had lots of fun playing and practicing recall. The host left out water with ice for my dog and a puzzle toy with treats! Towels and toys were provided. There’s even a water hose available.
55We had such a wonderful time in Beth’s yard and pool. Everything was ready for was when we arrived- toys, towels and water! My dog Leyla had the best afternoon. The chairs in the yard invited us to relax in her peaceful yard after we took a swim. We will definitely come back!

I am a dog lover and have experienced owning shy dogs, older dogs, and fearful dogs that don’t do well in a crowded dog park! However, dogs need to play and be social with other dogs and here is a cozy space for you and your dog to experience that!

Fully Fenced

Welcome to our private, fenced-in dog haven! Your furry friend will love the spacious area, complete with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. We've got a pool for pups who love to swim (with an extra cost), and owners can relax in the loungers and comfortable seating. For your convenience, we provide waste bags, and water bowls. We strive to keep everything clean and safe for both you and your pup to enjoy a fun, relaxing time together! A Note About Pool Use: To help us maintain the pool and avoid future closures for repairs, we kindly ask all pet owners to rinse their dogs off from dirt and debris before allowing them to swim. This is required, as the accumulation of dirt and dog hair can cause damage to the pool, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential closures. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep the spot enjoyable for everyone! Our convenient cul-de-sac location offers ample parking, making drop-off and pick-up a breeze. Enter through either fenced entrance and relax with plenty of seating while your pup explores!

I am renting out my fully fenced backyard for dogs to use. Very quiet and completely private. Large enough to let your dog off leash to run and play but not big enough that you will lose sight of your dog. Perfect for dogs who need to run without other dogs around or for those dogs who don't have a backyard of their own. I'm also flexible and don't mind if you bring more than one friend for your dog. Wifi password available on request. Enough shade that it won't be too hot. And I'm always gardening and landscaping in order to keep the yard looking as nice as possible. Enjoy!

North Star Ranch Private Dog Park In Archer

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Hello, We would like to welcome our dog friends to our private fully fenced wooded dog park we named The North Star Ranch. The North Star is positioned right over our entrance, and you might see it if you stay at the ranch late. Please bring your own water, snacks, poo bags. Also we have no trash collection, so please take your waste home with you. This is what we do as well. Consider a visit to our ranch a visit to nature that has been fenced in for your dogs’ convenience. And as in all Florida woods, there are some safety concerns you need to be aware of before your reservation. There are more or less visible stumps and vines all over the ranch. There are also some prickly cacti, buckthorn bushes and brambles. Tree logs and trunks have been arranged in some areas as edging for trails. The ranch is a work in progress and we are very slowly cutting prickly plants back to where they aren’t in dogs’ faces, but it’s taking us a while. Long pants and closed toed shoes are very much recommended. We also suggest tick spray if you’re worried about them. We find that in winter time they are rare. Mosquito cream is available during summer months at the gate. We recommend you use it. There is a 20 liter canister of water for dogs available at the picnic table along with a black rubber bowl. There is a back gate at the ranch and we don’t suggest venturing out of, as the back of the property is NOT fenced, and trails are grown over. Please stay in the fenced-in area only for your safety! We hope you and your dog enjoy lots of sniffing while you’re either strolling along or sitting down in one of our picnic areas. There is some agility equipment available at your discretion. Please use it wisely and look out for your pet’s safety first. Wilderness warning! ⚠️ Snakes have been spotted at the ranch several times. Our dogs run through the ranch daily, so wildlife is used to human and canine presence. This was their home before we enclosed it, so we respect their presence and move around them if we spot them. To this date we haven’t had any negative experience with the wildlife, and we surely want to see you stay safe as well. Keep your eyes open if you veer off the main paths, and have some treats in your pocket to help call your dog back to you in case of a snake sighting. The sightings definitely drop off in the colder months. We hope you enjoy our ranch as much us we do! Our dogs absolutely love it and we lovingly nicknamed this place our “sanity ranch”. Enjoy!

Breathe Easy at Old Hawthorn: Private Pond Dog Park

Partially Fenced
0.5 acres

Grand opening Saturday, February 6, 2027. Preview weekends January 23 and 30 for founding guests. Bookings are open now for preview and founding visits. Some places ask you to lower your expectations. This one asks you to lower your shoulders. Breathe Easy at Old Hawthorn is raw Florida land on purpose: a pond under a big sky, tall pines, sandy trails, and grass that smells like grass. No concrete, no crowds, no dog park politics. Just you, your dog, and a whole hour where nobody needs anything from either of you. The setup. Our dog park sits by the lake and pond area of the property. Dogs can run the open ground, work the pine trails on sniff patrol, and cool off in the pond. This is a decompression spot as much as an exercise spot. Reactive dogs, anxious dogs, apartment dogs who have forgotten what dirt feels like, and old dogs who just want a quiet place to wander: all of you are the point. A break from the city and college life. We are an easy drive from Gainesville and the University of Florida, and from Palatka. Trade the apartment complex dog run and the quad for one hour of country quiet. Your dog comes home tired and smelling like the outdoors. You might, too, in the good way. Military family owned, and we mean the welcome. We are a military family. We love our veterans, and we built this spot with you in mind: private bookings only, no strangers, no crowds, no sudden chaos. Just land, water, and room to breathe with your dog(s). Send us a message before you book. We would like to thank you for your service with a discount code. 4WD honesty, up front. Getting here is part of the raw land deal. The access road is unpaved sand and dirt. Trucks, SUVs, and 4WD vehicles: easy. Cars with low clearance: fine in dry weather if you take it slow, but after heavy rain, 4WD or high clearance is strongly recommended. If you are ever unsure, message us before you book and we will tell you exactly what the road looks like that day. We would rather lose a booking than have you stuck. Please read before you book, because this spot is proudly not for every dog: • We are partially fenced. The park area is fenced on the land sides, and the pond and trail sides are open country. This spot is for dogs with reliable recall, or dogs who stay on a long line. It is not the right spot for escape artists or dogs with no recall yet. We say that with love; there is a fully fenced spot in town for them, and this wild one will be here when they are ready. • The pond is a natural Florida pond. That means real nature: lily pads, frogs, and the possibility of Florida wildlife, including alligators and snakes, in or near the water. Check the bank before your dog goes in. If you see an alligator, do not let your dog enter the water, move away, and message us. Supervise your dog in the water at all times. Dogs swim at their handler's judgment and risk, like any Florida lake day. • This is raw land. Expect tall grass in places, sandy soil, mud after rain, and bugs. Flea and tick prevention is a must, and check your dog (and yourself) after your visit. Boots or shoes you do not mind getting dirty are the dress code for humans. At the spot for your visit: • Fresh drinking water and bowls by the gate (pond water is for swimming, clean water is for drinking) • Rinse hose and towels to knock the country off before the ride home • Shaded seating under the pines for the humans • Poop bags and a lidded can at the entrance • Long lines available to borrow for pond and trail exploring • Off-street parking on the property, inside the gate area Come out and breathe easy for a bit. Indulge yourself for a moment. Your dog already knows how.
