Aussie's Oasis

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Enjoy our perfect, not so perfect oasis while you visit! We have 3 Australian shepherds that enjoy our yard so much that they wanted to share it with you. We can leave a water dish as well as poo bags and a scoop, whatever you choose. We also have corn hole/ladder toss available if you would like to play while watching your pup(s) play! (Please ask in advance for yard games and I’ll put them out) Parking is in the driveway, you simply enter the backyard through the gate on the left. Please make sure to close the gate behind you. Grill is not available for use. Both shed and home are locked at all times. Please clean up after your dog(s) and watch them carefully. Take care of my things as you would your own. We hope you enjoy as much as we do! Disclaimer: We HAVE ring security cameras at both the entrance and rear of home. Another thing I’d like to add is: While we are at work, our dogs ARE inside and you will most likely hear them barking. If you’d rather have less distractions to enhance your time, I’d recommend booking during evening hours (after 5:30 PM) to give me an opportunity to get my dogs out of the house and/or on the weekend with notice. We also live next to a major highway, separated by a large sound barrier, but not recommended for dogs with high sound sensitivity.

Carleigh's Fully Fenced Yard in Linglestown!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to our spacious, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff, and explore! There’s plenty of room for your pup to stretch their legs, and since our own dogs live here, the yard is full of exciting scents to keep them happily engaged. You may spot some neighborhood wildlife like bunnies, squirrels, and birds passing through, which can add a little extra enrichment for curious pups. No need to worry about keeping dogs out of garden areas—the space is designed to be dog-friendly and stress-free. Our neighbors do have dogs who may occasionally be outside, but not consistently. Rest assured, our dogs will be kept indoors during your visit so your pup can enjoy the space. Feel free to relax in the screened-in porch while your dog plays. We provide thoughtful extras like towels for muddy paws, bug spray, and sunscreen for your comfort. There will also be fresh water and treats available for your furry friend! We know how hard it can be when dogs don’t have a yard to enjoy, so we’re excited to share ours with you. We hope you and your pup have a wonderful time!

Frequently asked questions about Gardners small dog parks

Where can I find small dog parks in Gardners?

Gardners has 193 private small dog parks available through Sniffspot, offering appropriately-sized exercise in completely private settings. These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 143+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Gardners small dog parks provide safe, private environments. Filter for "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, or fencing types to find your perfect match.

How many small dog parks are in Gardners?

Gardners offers 193 small dog parks ranging from compact spaces to properties spanning acres. You'll find options such as fully fenced dog park, indoor dog park, dog agility park, and more. Each Gardners small dog park listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.

Are Gardners small dog parks good for all dog types?

Yes! Gardners small dog parks work for every dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer without large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space, and reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the environment they need. Browse Gardners's 193 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.

Will I encounter other dogs at Gardners small dog parks?

Not a chance. Gardners small dog parks operate on a strict one-booking-at-a-time system, so the space is entirely yours during your reserved slot. Host dogs are kept away, and there's a mandatory 30-minute buffer between bookings—meaning you won't cross paths with the previous or next guest. For Gardners owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.

Are Gardners small dog parks safe for fearful or anxious dogs?

Yes! Gardners small dog parks provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers, anxious dogs can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds without overwhelming encounters. Many Gardners dog owners specifically choose small dog parks for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.

Can puppies use Gardners small dog parks?

Absolutely! Gardners small dog parks are excellent for puppy socialization because they're private and controlled. Puppies can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds, practice recall, and build confidence without the overwhelming chaos that can create fear or reactivity in young dogs. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting.

How do I choose the best small dog park in Gardners?

Start by filtering Gardners's 193 small dog parks for your specific needs: secure fencing for escape artists, "fewer dogs seen/heard" for reactive dogs, flat terrain for seniors, appropriate sizing for small dogs, or specific amenities for training. Look for "Top Spots" like Gardners's Jesse's Little slice of country with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Gardners owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.

What are Gardners's small dog park requirements?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Gardners host may have additional rules on their listing. Most small dog parks welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit public dog parks. Adult supervision is required at all times.
